    Awesome super unique theater! We have never been to a theater that has a self serve food court which we found to be extremely efficient, fast, and convenient! Food was awesome by the way, and hot. Seats were clean and comfortable with the reclining feature. Theater privacy in each row was awesome, as were use to AMC which leaves zero room in front of you. Overall an awesome first experience here, and we will be back!

    Husband and I love this movie theater. It has very comfortable reclining chairs and excellent sound system. Screen is huge and high definition. There is a huge amount of leg room and you'll never be behind someone too tall that they block the screen. They have an optional monthly service fee that gives you a discount at concessions and free movie tickets. There is also a Starbucks inside. There is also a small arcade. Update Jan 2022: -1 star because they don't clean the theaters between later shows in the day.

    Excellent venue for a movie! We parked easily in their spacious parking lot. Inside, temperature was cozy (32° outside). We got concessions before checking in for SING 2 in theater 3. We had five seats in the center - F6-11. Seat 11 did not recline, but when I mentioned it to an employee on the way to the bathroom, he had it fixed before I returned. Wow! The bathroom was clean & well stocked. Signs advised users to keep a sink empty between them to avoid getting sick. Very nice. The sound and picture was great. No problems. Seats reclined and were so comfortable. They seemed bigger, more plush, and had more of a recline than the AMC theater we frequent in Palm Harbor. When we lifted the center armrest, we got another drink holder instead of the crack. That was also different to us. Temperature in the theater was perfect - not too hot or cold. The movie was excellent, too, so no one fell asleep. We don't understand why patrons left their trash behind. To keep employees working?? Never fear. They were! They picked up the trash left behind, and we took our trash to the nearest trash receptacle. We will have to check out the Cinemark near us when we get home.

    I haven’t been to the theatre in over a year, and I’d encourage everyone to pick a different one or wait for it to come out. The theatre was freezing; they actually had cold air blowing. The movie was wonderful but literally shivering was ridiculous. And the management could only say they’ve been trying to get it fixed. That’s ridiculous. So again I strongly encourage you to go somewhere else or wait till you can enjoy it in the comfort and ‘warmth’ of your home.

    First theater I've been to since the pandemic! And it was wonderful, kinda like being a kid again. This theater is everything you could hope for - great location, ample parking, easy to maneuver online or box office ticketing, all the fun movie snacks, and really super employees. Everyone I interacted with was exceptional! The seating is worth mentioning because, awesome! So roomy and luxurious. Also, the entire place was spotless. I've missed going to the movies and this theater made my return a happy, fun, memorable experience. *Jurassic World: Dominion 8/22

    I sat in a d box seat in the 3D theater. The D-Box is more less like the universal studios experience where your seat reacts reacts to what you're watching. It is a little bit more expensive but it made going to see the Little mermaid A movie that I had been waiting for for 5 years feel so real worth every penny. The flip of a fin, the water crashing into the rocks, you feel every moment as if you were actually under the sea. I will be going back again to experience NOT WATCH BUT EXPERIENCE. There's only one D-Box in Albuquerque and that is at Century Rio 24

    My favorite movie theater in Albuquerque. Comfortable reclining seats, good selection of movies and showings, good location, and friendly staff. One time, I tried to carry two cups of water and a large popcorn at the same time. I accidentally spilled the popcorn everywhere and the staff weren’t even disgruntled. They even insisted on cleaning my mess up for me and giving me another popcorn free of charge, how decent of them😃👍

    Went on a day all movies were three dollars. Made a day of it. The seats were comfortable, although my only complaint would be the movies didn't start for an additional 20 minutes after the stated start time. I have visited other theaters and haven't noticed the previews run a fifth time of the movie. Will be returning for future releases.

    I’ve been here a couple times. It’s a big theater and I’ve enjoyed my movie watching experiences, but sometimes the snack area and bathrooms can get a little dirty. On my last visit the icee counter and floor around it was completely covered in the sticky sugar mixture. I like the idea of a self serve snack bar, but it didn’t seem to work in practice. I’d like to give it the benefit of the doubt of being cleaner earlier in the day than during the night showings. Other than that, the movie experiences themselves have been great.

    Saw the movie Oppenheimer yesterday. It was a terrible experience. The volume was incredibly high. Way beyond anything sensible and way way beyond anything enjoyable. Also the movie started 20 minutes after the advertised start time. I won't go back to this theater. I will give them credit for creatively shrinking the size of a large popcorn. The top of the container is the same size but the smaller bottom makes it more like a cone with the point nipped off.

    This movie theaters was the best one I’ve been to in a long time. The seats are very personal and comfy! The surroundsound trembled around me, and I enjoyed every piece of the movie and the people there are nice and for the most part welcoming! I really felt the movie experience here. They are movie places going out of business and I hope this is not one of them for a very, very long time.

    This is a very nice theater. Location is convenient and near many restaurants to make a date night. You'll need to log into your account to see your seat numbers.

    I've been going here since they opened in the late 90's. It's still my favorite theater to frequent, especially since they installed the reclining chairs. I would only suggest maybe a new paint job, since it still looks like the 90’s.

    The theater is smaller so you get a better experience. Seats are comfy, staff is nice, popcorn is fresh. Still had Taylor buckets and cups.

    First time visiting this complex for an Oppenheimer Saturday morning matinee 8/5/23 Thrilled a theatre in Albuquerque stepped up to the plate to present Oppenheimer in 70mm as it was intended! As I arrived the parking lot only had a couple dozen cars but as I left the lot was completely packed so make sure you know where you parked because the sections are all identical. I did not indulge in any concessions nor did I visit their arcade but the entrance was clean. I ordered my ticket online which is new to me--printed out my receipt barcode. There are innumerable features so be sure to know what auditorium you're in as there are many. The ticket taker was an older gentleman--not very personable--pointed to the scanner rather than speaking to me. Several gentleman standing around him, many workers scurrying about in the lobby. Bathroom was relatively clean although the paper towels started piling up on the floor after the feature--dunno what it is with people not picking up after themselves. Perhaps a giant trash bin would encourage people to not throw their paper towels on the floor. The 70mm theater is kind of small but the seats recline and were comfortable. The unfortunate thing about these seats is if something falls out of your pocket, it falls through the back of the seat and lands under and behind it into a black hole of garbage! This was the first feature of the day so there is no excuse as to why the under and behind the seat was so caked with popcorn, candy and trash--y'all need to vacuum behind there daily because, GROSS. My compact that fell out of my pocket during the show completely vanished so if you drop something, you're s.o.l. The design of the seats should allow more space between the person next to you--the patron next to me was fidgeting for the entire three hour feature and shaking my seat intermittently. The screen during this feature seemed to flicker throughout--not sure if that's what 70mm is supposed to do. But the quality of the picture was fine otherwise and the sound was thankfully not overwhelming the dialogue which is a common complaint with Nolan's films. The 70mm was definitely a better experience than the regular IMAX so I highly recommend people check out 70mm features and I do hope this theatre continues to offer the option. Patrons in my aisle dumped their popcorn and trash everywhere, so kudos to the employees who have to clean up after messy, inconsiderate people. Enjoyed the show and hope to come back someday for a quality feature.

    The theater had plenty of parking spots. Was easy to get a ticket. Line didnt take long. The gentleman selling tickets was very helpful. The seats recline, which definitely makes it more comfortable. Place for your drink. My first time seeing a movie here and I loved it.

  • 4/5 Kelly 8 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed the movie. However, it was very warm/hot in the theater tonight (theater room 5). Went to an 11pm showing so there wasn’t any sunlight out anymore. Would’ve been 5 stars if it had been a cooler theater.

    Great theater-going experience! First time going to this location, saw Barbie, and had a fun time. The XD theater #12 was spacious, clean, and had comfortable reclining seats. Seats and concessions were reasonably priced. My brother was trying to get information from an employee about special Barbie premiere merch and the rewards program, but this employee was kind of rude and obviously looked as though we were inconveniencing him by being there. Other than that, I will be returning to see movies here!

    The 3D XD theater was amazing. I was able to get tickets ahead of time and pick good seats. They have electric recliners and decent sized arm rests that more than 1 person can use. Definitely the way to see a movie if you want to go.

    We were stuck in town due to canceled airline, so we came here for a movie. Absolutely enjoyed our stay! Good theater, clean, had decent entertainment while waiting, and decent snack choices. The staff was very nice and the seats were comfortable. We would definitely go back.

  • 4/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    As always, a good experience. The property was in good repair overall, and the interior was clean and welcoming. The box office glass needs some attention, however. The popcorn and drinks were standard fare, but in order to enjoy the second popcorn refill, you must be enrolled in the rewards program, so be advised. Restrooms were bright, clean, and well maintained. The theatre we enjoyed our movie in was clean and comfortable. Finally, the staff we encountered were all pleasant and helpful. This was a solid four star experience.

    I like the Cinemark app and the Movie Club. Seeing the times and buying the ticket is easy. Being able to order your food and have it delivered is very convenient even though they deliver during the credits and beginning of the movie. I like the value of discounted concessions and rollover free tickets! The theater is still big as ever and finding the specific theater is easy. Staff are always friendly in my experience. Seating comfortable as roomy. All around a good experience. We will be coming back many more times.

    This is a nice theater, reclining seats, pretty clean! Their snack area is cool, there's no lines usually, you go through pick out your snacks and popcorn, and then just pay before you leave for your movie! They even have the option to have your snacks ready for you when you get to your seats if you buy the tickets online! The few negatives I have are the theaters are small, staff is pretty young so they aren't always super customer service oriented, bathrooms need to be cleaned more often.

  • 5/5 Anthony D. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy in and out. Always clean theaters quick and friendly food services. Gear staff always guiding you to the correct areas. Bathrooms decent. But it's glad to be back to the movies after the pandemic restrictions lifted. I was never a huge movie fan but only once I started going. Then it was gone. I wanted it. But glad to go weekly or near monthly to just watch something and to kill time. 🤝🏻💯 I've been to the one in the malls and thought yeah they're better. Hmmm not as much as this place. Heck I feel that the membership deals and the screens are bigger and better not only here. But all of the Century Rios.
