Takes me back to a time I rode my Mongoose to the theatre at the Battlefield Mall in Springfield, Missouri on a summer day, dump my bike somewhere beside the building so I could smoke a Marlboro Red, met my best friend, rolled the box up in my sleeve and watched a Charles Bronson flick two or three times in a day.

Great first time experience! Came to see "True Romance"(most romantic movie EVER!) at a Friday…read moremidnight showing. Front of house, ladies room & theater were all VERY CLEAN. Seats were comfortable, film print was soft and lovely to behold. First off: parking. No lot, but we arrived for 11:15pm doors opening at 11 and were rewarded with an off hours meter right out front. Then, lined up behind other early patrons, behind the sign stating ONE LINE. Whether you've pre-purchased tix online, or will purchase at box office, each guest goes in one at a time with an issued BO ticket stub. FAB! Greeted and welcomed warmly by staff. LOVED that the manager came up to the front on a mic and spoke a bit about the theater and the formats then announced house rules: cell phones away, no conversations, be a decent human. (I may have added the 3rd, but that was the gist.) Previews were curated to align with "True Romance" - SO COOL! We were treated to the original theater trailers for "Bandlands"(1973), "Bonnie & Clyde"(1967) and "Wild at Heart"(1990). Seats were comfy, traditional, OG movie theater seats. Plush fabric on padding - no reclining here! Our seats in the front row were a perfect distance to the screen and we thoroughly enjoyed "our movie." We have multiple formats and release of this Tony Scott(RIP) film from a Quentin Tarantino/Roger Avary(uncredited) script, but NOTHING beats the "pops", "hits" and beautiful colors of 45mm film. New Beverly Cinema is proud of their (Mr. Tarantino's) collection and lovingly share many awesome classics at a very fair price. I've previously purchased merch (Rick Dalton & international release version "Resevoir Dogs" shirts) for Hubs from their website and we've been happy with the quality of everything. Tonight, I was a bit disappointed they weren't carrying "True Romance" shirts, but that's okay, '...usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too.' Cheers! "CC"

I needed less concert montage and more storyline/character development but that's just me. A smaller theater but clean and a nicely kept theater.

Came on a Saturday and there was a chill movie premiere happening as well which was nice. Staff were nice and helpful as well. A great local theatre.

They don't recline very far but are still fairly big and plush and no issues with a 2 hour movie. The restroom was well maintained and clean. I *wish the popcorn was a bit hotter/fresher and the butter machine was real, but it's not a deal breaker at all. LA movie theater prices are pretty steep, which makes going to the movies a significant choice. Afternoon discounts would be greatly appreciated.

I arrived around 4:40p and left around 9/9:30p the latest. Wasn't a long line nor was it a long wait while waiting in line. The even staff were friendly and professional. A backdrop was set up for pics. They also had a green screen set up so guests could take a pic and be digitally placed in a scene of the movie. I thought that was cool. They also offered free popcorn with a fountain drink. Ordered a "Ginger Margarita" at the bar before entering the theater. It was about $21 for cocktail. Wish I would've purchased the "Cutwater" instead. For $10 or $11 it would've been better sipping on that than the 21oz or 24 oz drink. Being that they fill the cup with ice, you're not getting as much of a drink as you think. Didn't have any issues getting thru and having my wristband checked. Was able to just walk on thru. The theater I was in was clean. Found a comfortable seat up top. The movie was better than I expected. The theater itself is really nice. I would come back.

From the moment we walked up, she greeted us with the warmest smile and such genuine kindness that it instantly stood out. Her customer service exceeded every expectation and made us feel truly welcomed and appreciated. Carrie was friendly, patient, professional, and had such a positive attitude the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares about the customers she interacts with, and that kind of energy is rare to find nowadays. She turned what would normally be a simple concession stand interaction into something memorable. Honestly, employees like Carrie are the reason people come back. Great customer service leaves a lasting impression, and she absolutely deserves recognition for how amazing she was tonight. Thank you, Carrie, for making our 10:30 PM movie experience even more enjoyable!

I've always wanted to watch a movie here since I was younger, so it was so nice to finally do it!…read moreWe watched mortal kombat 2 in IMAX.

This is one of my favorite theaters in town. I'm an avid movie goer and this place is really cool…read moreand I definitely suggest checking it out if you've never been! Unfortunately, I had a bad experience recently. Part of this is from poor service at the box office and part of this is due to lack of any customer service from FANDANGO. I went to see the Revenant re-release in IMAX on 2/26/26 at 8:45pm. I purchased two tickets in advance on Fandango and unfortunately the day of, my friend who I was going to see the movie with got really sick and could not risk getting me or anyone else sick. Being that I bought the tickets on Fandango I was prompted to go to the box office to pick them up. When I arrived at the box office to get my tickets, I explained my situation to the person working and asked if I could get a refund or an exchange and use the ticket at a later date?! This person told me that because I bought it through Fandango, I have to deal with them. That was frustrating, but I understand because it was technically purchased through a third-party. The ticket was $27.44, which is very steep but seeing a film at this theater, especially such an amazing film in IMAX would make that price worth it, IF THE TICKET WAS USED!!!! I was looking forward to this experience very much and telling everyone I knew about it. Being that I arrived to the movie on time that means I did not have time to process the refund on Fandango before going to the movie. I reached out to Fandango the next day and I was informed that because I didn't process the return prior to the movie starting I cannot get a refund or an exchange. While I understand that may be the policy, only one out of two tickets were used. I had 2 separate confirmation numbers for my 2 tickets and only one of them was used. I received nothing for the money that I paid, which makes this all feel like a big scam. I spoke with someone via Fandango's chat feature and the issue was escalated further to the Fandango customer service team and I received an email basically telling me what I just explained; they can't do anything for me because I didn't process the refund prior to the film. I feel like my hands are/were tied. I tried MY best and not given any real solution from either fandango or the theater. I am not leaving this review to shade the theater itself, it's more because I couldn't find a way to leave a review for Fandango. Ultimately though if the theater can't/won't do something to honor this or at least have a little compassion, it makes me wonder if I need to be spending my hard earned money there?! If the policy is genuinely that you have to make the return before the film starts, I would've appreciated the person of the box office at least telling me that. I could've let it go and just accepted the L. But I feel like I was kind of sent on a wild goose chase and that's why I am upset. Main take away, solidify your plans prior to going to the film so that you can make a return if necessary and do not use Fandango to get tickets.

I finally checked out Brain Dead Studios last night and I'm a fan now!…read moreI was there for an amazing screening of Dead Man's Wire with Dacre Montgomery and Gus Van Sant there to answer questions after. What a cool experience and my understanding events like this happen all the time at Brain Dead Studios. I love watching a movie surrounded by other movie enthusiasts. Tickets are reasonably priced, too! Ours were just $15 which is about half of Tarentino's theater. The theater itself is cold so bundle up and the seats can get a bit uncomfy after 2 hours - but both of those are movie theater norms and no worse than at any AMC. Very friendly staff! I'm a Brain Dead Studios fan and I will absolutely be back soon!

It's been a long time since I've been to the movies, especially a place like this. I've been to…read morethis type of luxury theatre many years ago and it's definitely a good way to treat yourself. My son has been wanting to see Devil Wears Prada 2 and the first one is one of his favorite movies of all time. Personally, I don't like that movie but I went along with him. Tickets are $25 each and they have a $4 parking garage, but we were lucky enough to get a free after-hour meter on the street. It's a nice place and it seems like comfort is their top priority. The recliner chairs are extremely comfy and come with a blanket in case you get cold. You know how movie theaters are always chilly. Once you get settled, you can press a button that sends an employee over to take your order. It's completely optional. We got one small popcorn (light butter, $6) which was big enough for both of us. I like this idea of having the option of ordering and dining at your seat while watching a movie, but the reality is a bit different. It's kind of annoying to see the employees coming and going when someone needs a refill or places a new order during the movie. You can hear them talking and they can even block your view. It's frustrating when you are trying to focus. With that being said, I think it has more pros than cons. There are bars and bathrooms located across the several floors and the one we went to was exceptionally clean. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back to this theatre. I prefer something more standard like AMC or Pacific Theatres (RIP!)...

I was very disappointed by my recent experience at IPIC Westwood. After the movie, I briefly needed…read moresomewhere to sit while waiting for my family due to mobility limitations related to Multiple Sclerosis. The first-floor lobby had no seating at all, despite the theater branding itself as a luxury, comfort-focused experience. I politely asked if I could sit for a few minutes in the empty restaurant seating area, which was completely unused at the time, and was repeatedly told no due to "policy." While I understand policies exist, I was surprised that no reasonable accommodation or alternative seating was offered for a disabled patron who was simply waiting for family. What upset me most was not just the lack of accessibility-minded accommodations, but the dismissive attitude I encountered from several employees and the difficulty I had even obtaining the manager's name. For a theater that emphasizes comfort and premium service, I expected far more compassion, professionalism, and awareness regarding accessibility needs.

I was pleasantly surprised by some of the modern concessions they had, specifically the cans of LaCroix they were selling. Love it. This is located on a busy part of Wilshire. But don't panic. There's parking for you if you're stealthy. Right before you approach the theatre, there's a small side street called Holt. If you turn onto Holt, it's free residential parking all the way down (please read the signs though). Parking closer to the theatre on this street will get you one free hour of parking but if you park several blocks down will give you more time. Consider this option if you don't mind a bit of a walk. I hope to come here for more screenings in the future.

Dear Fine Arts Theatre,…read more Theatre is great and has free parking after 4pm nearby walking distance. Seating is red classic style like in the 90's and got to "hold on to your butts" as those may not be the best comfort for all. Love the outside setup looks well done and they keep up the theatre well. Signage is nice too for all events like Cometfest 2025 for Jurassic park this year. Love the walk in area to talk and get freebies and have social time with everyone. Screens with all the comet shows that are ongoing and Xena coming up. Snacks we got and great dinosaur talk before the movie started. A great theatre experience and then got to share experience with the Comet team. Thanks for bringing Comet to fine arts this year and having freebies too made it all fun

Went in to speak with someone about checking in and they said someone will be out to do it at 06:30p. No one came out until around 7:00p. Finally got inside after receiving our wristbands. Ordered food at the concession stand and was told it'll be about 6 mins for everything. Grabbed some popcorn. It was free along with a soda or small bottle of essential water. Went and grabbed us some seats up top with no problem. Came back, food still wasn't ready. Went to the bar to grab us some drinks while we waited. Our food still wasn't ready. Went over to the waiting area where they give you your order, food still wasn't ready lol. We waited about 20 mins for our food. I ordered some plain nachos, veggie rolls and crispy sliders. So we missed about the first 10-15 mins of the movie. I'm not tripping I just would've appreciated a better time being quoted because the 6 mins really took about 20 mins. The bar drinks were good tho. Prices aren't bad either. A 6 oz glass of Chardonnay was $12 and a Golden Hour Sour was $16. Snacks and entree prices were reasonable also. No complaints on the prices and I enjoyed all of the food. It was also a good movie. Won't get into details but I'm glad I got the tix. We had a great night out. Look forward to doing it again.

Such a unique and memorable place. Melrose Rooftop Theatre is one of those experiences that feels…read morespecial from the moment you arrive. Watching movies on a rooftop with headphones, cozy seating, and the city atmosphere around you is honestly unmatched. I love the movie selection. They always have great films in rotation, especially nostalgic and romantic classics. Watching The Notebook here was unforgettable. It was romantic, funny, and somehow perfectly timed because it started lightly drizzling during the rain scene on screen. It made the whole moment feel surreal and cinematic. I believe the first popcorn is either free or included with the ticket, which is a really nice touch. The food and drinks are solid, and the overall vibe is relaxed but thoughtfully curated. Definitely bring your own blankets, especially on cloudy or cooler nights, because it gets extra cozy. One tip is to always check the weather before going, since it is an outdoor rooftop experience. That said, the atmosphere is worth it, and I will absolutely keep booking here whenever I'm in the mood for a nostalgic movie night with a unique twist. Highly recommend for date nights or a fun, different evening out.

We came out for Friday night roller skating at Melrose Rooftop Theatre to celebrate a surprise…read morebirthday with friends. It's a fun concept, but the experience left a bit to be desired. We checked in at the front entrance and took the slow-moving elevator up to the rooftop. It wasn't a huge deal, but definitely something that stood out. When we got to the top, we were asked to fill out a waiver on our phones--super quick and easy, but honestly something that could've been done earlier when buying tickets online. Parking in the area was $20 at a lot across the street. Not terrible for a Friday night in LA, but still worth mentioning. Your ticket includes skate rental and one drink, so we grabbed a Paloma (the other option was not available) which hit the spot. Unfortunately, the skating surface was a bit of a letdown--treaded hard plastic mats that didn't offer a smooth ride. It took a lot of effort to move and wasn't beginner-friendly. Plus there was a tricky spot that tripped up more than a few skaters. The biggest surprise was the low energy overall--music was pretty quiet, and the vibe felt more relaxed than festive. We expected more of a party atmosphere for a Friday night rooftop in the heart of LA. It was still fun to do something different and hang out with our group, but unless they upgrade the floor or amp up the energy, it's probably a one-and-done for us. Tips: - Allow extra time for the elevator to the 3rd floor. - $20 parking lot across the street. - 1 Drink included, so grab one and make the most of it!
