This is a Top Notch Movie Theater! Great facility, awesome chairs, exploding speakers and amazing screens! LOVE the bar area and food options. VINCE the manager is always super friendly and makes sure you have a positive experience. Our office recently held a client event there and he went out of his way with helping us put on a great event! GET TO THIS THEATER! Under ground parking is a bonus!

Good theater! All recliner, seats are very comfortable. They have pretty good food options. We got little confused with the name, its displayed as Paragon Theaters. You can park anywhere around the theater. They also have parking garage.

I had a wonderful and easy experience with CMX Arlington Heights during a very rough time in my life. They were even very concerned to check on me from time to time. They made everything quick and easy, and always ready to answer any questions that I had. They truly earned my trust and I give them my 5 stars!!

Easily my favorite theater. Ive been coming here for years, initially because of proximity, but even after checking out other theaters, this one still comes out on top. It has a great intimate feel while still being clean and well kept. Recliner chairs with swivel tables on them for your popcorn/drink is fantastic, and really should be the standard everywhere else. Possibly above all else, though, is the staff. All extremely nice and friendly.

This movie theater is the best! I come all the way from Chicago to see movies here. I did an event here and the management was awesome. They made sure I had everything I needed and more! Great place.

I have been going to this theater for years. Love the $6 Tuesday. Seats are comfy. Easy parking from the garage and easy access to the rest of downtown Arlington Heights. The lobby recently was updated giving it a trendy bar look. Miss having the food delivered to you at the seats, but otherwise a pleasant experience. .

I come here a lot with my friends to watch new movies whenever we are bored or if something interesting came out. There usually arent too many people, and the reclining seats are great feature. They also show a good collection of movies new and old, and as a bonus, the prices are pretty cheap for a teen. Would definitely recommend.

Honestly the pop corn was bomb and the theater was really clean ! I really recommend to come here ! And I had lost my AirPods in the movie theater and a man that worked there helped me find them, we never ended up finding them but I love how he was nice enough to help :) !! If the person who helped me is reading this .... thank you so much!

Review №19

Theater was so cold that I and everyone I was with had to huddle under their winter coats and wear gloves throughout. Just ridiculous in mid-December. Seats are not comfortable for shorter people. I wanted to use my coat as a sort of lumbar cushion, but my choices were cushion and freeze, or cope with uncomfotable seat in a fairly futile effort to stay warm. I opted to try to avoid pneumonia, but Never Again here.

After the remodel its not as fun of a place to hang out at the lobby bar for a few drinks before the movie starts. Also miss having the servers that brought you drinks and food to your movie seat. They cut back on their menu a lot.

Well Im going to start with three stars well see how the rest of the night goes considering the fact that I called your office for over an hour to get specific information, only to be in contact with nobody other than a voicemail. Its a shame now on days when you cant get a hold of somebody for information, but yet theyre willing to take your money. Perhaps get in touch with your staff and re-orientate them as to what their job duties are.

I love the parking garage especially when its raining or snowing. Went here when we couldnt get tickets opening day. We were able to buy tickets here when there were none to be found in the major theaters. It is a little older but the seating is being improved, little by little. Pricing is comparable to other theatres. The snack bar is small but has all the usual theatre fare.

This place was much better three years ago. I miss the white movie chairs & when your food buzzer used to buzz, the servers would bring your food in yo your seat before or during the movie....that was one of the big reasons I visited the movie theater.

6 dollar tickets on tuesday. Love the location and I like that it is a small theater. They also have nice seating like AMC without the AMC price. Even a normal day doesnt cost as much.

$6 movies on Tuesdays cant be beat! Comfy, reclining chairs, and good selection of food and drinks for a tiny in town theater. Movies circulate quickly due to small sized theater, so if something is released, go see it ASAP!

What a find! We were on a weekend get away with our family and we originally went to the AMC Up the street. We left because it was packed and over priced. This place had it all! Affordable tickets. 7.50 large popcorn and the overall experience was great. If you’re visiting and want to see a movie this is the place to do it.

Review №62

Great theatre, great experience. The seats are out of this world. You can recline back, put up your feet and have plenty of space. Good? Fantastic Like the old movie theatres, popcorn, soft drinks, candy, Hot Dogs, and you can buy them before you go in and take into the auditorium. That is the way it should be. Five Stars!!!!!!

Review №63

Please I dont believe some of the negative reviews. My children 19, 11, my husband, and I totally love this movie theater. This is pretty much the ONLY theater we like to go. (If the movie we want to watch is not showing, we will go to another theater). It is true that some of the fancy entrees are NOT great, but you cant go wrong with burgers, sandwiches, some appetizers, ice cream, shakes, pop corn, etc. (and cocktails of course). I think its pretty cool that you dont have to wait in line to buy anything. Just go to your seat and press the button ASAP : ) Its SUPER CLEAN, and beautiful!

New seats are great, food sucks. They no longer have food service with waiters. Instead you have to meet them outside your theater room and pick up your food. Use to be a great theater, no longer worth the long drive.

Review №71

Used to come here once or twice a week and loved the food service at the seat. Thats the reason why we came all the time for the cheap movie prices and a finer in theater dining experience which was really unique. Now we have to order outside, take in a buzzer, pick up our food outside, and food quality went down. Not only that, they didnt know how to make the drinks on the menu. They were frantically looking around, asking each other, and reading off a book. Tasted horrible and I think they forgot the liquor. I rather pay the extra bucks for better snacks and better environment. Now its just like any other theater but with worse service. New ownership is garbage. Will never be going back.

Review №76

This place used to be great, now its gone down hill and I would not recommend. The food is not worth it, the sound in the theatre didnt work and then there was a false alarm fire alarm. It used to be a good experience that was worth it but not anymore.

Ja
Review №77

Wife and I use this place for date night frequently. The bonus of dinner AND a movie is great. However, the quality of the food has really gone down hill. Dry, dry, dry. Except for maybe the Gyro sandwich, we havent had a good (read: acceptable) meal here in a while. Still, a nice place for drinks and a movie, clean and roomy so thats still working for it. Will pass on the food.

Review №81

Been going there for a couple of years and loved it, but now they got bought out and eliminated food service at your seat! No more real food, no more servers, just candy, soda, and popcorn. The whole reason for so many people going there is because it was a unique place to have dinner, a movie and a drink at a sort of fancy theater! Now no difference between AMC and this place. Wont be back anymore, I will miss the old place.

The theater was immaculate; very clean, and well lit prior to the show. The aisles are roomy allowing east travel to and from seating.Service response time during the show was reasonable (not instant, but certainly within 5 minutes of putting up my order card).The food was delicious, I had the baked pasta.Beer selection was nice; plenty of high quality beers.The desert cocktails were very enjoyable (try the chocolate covered pretzel martini).Great experience, will be going again.

Small but extremely comfy theater, with top class seats. Add to that good food and drinks combo. Everything for price which is less than what a typical AMC or other multiplexes charge.Overall has everything for a great family afternoon or evening.

Review №89

I dont understand why these places keep getting fancier and fancier... What happened to just going to see a movie for cheap? The theatre itself is very nice and I had a good experience, but it is still pricey. If you want a cheaper theatre, see Elk Grove theatre or AMC $5 Tuesdays for Stubbs members.

Im pretty bummed out about having to write this review. Ive been going to CMX since they changed owners and like going there because its conveniently located and pretty empty most of the time. However, the last two times I went, I have found some bugs in my food and/or drinks. The first one I found IN MY TOOTH, like wedged in when I got home, so I figured it could have come from a different place (I had coffee before going) so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. Then last night I went back and ordered food and an alcoholic drink. When the movie was over I was carrying my left over drink out of the theater and I happened to look down, and there floating, was another one of the same type of bug! The restrooms are always very smelly and the place just doesnt seem to get cleaned. Its not how I expect a place that serves food and drinks to be. I will not be coming back to this theater which sucks because now I have to find another one to go to with the same amenities (minus the bugs).

Ive been to the new Star Cinema Grill in downtown Arlington Heights several times since theyve opened. One time, I walked there from the train station and enjoyed dinner and a movie because the weather was bad and I had to wait for a ride.I love the convenience of dinner and a movie all at the same time. The theater is very roomy, the food is very good (which was a pleasant surprise, given that they are not a traditional restaurant) and the prices are reasonable (slightly inflated for the dishes served, but not movie candy inflated and the convenience makes up for it). Each time Ive been there, the service has been very good. And finally, the picture and sound were great. All in all, this is my favorite place to watch new release movies.

1st time there wasnt pleasant. Ill start with the good. Concept is great. Beer, food while you watch a movie= GREAT! Admission is cheap. Food pricing is reasonable. Staff is good. Get to pick your own seats, comfy seats as well. The bad. Not clean! Movie theater we were seated in was filthy! Popcorn, food crumbs all over the floor. Some seats still had plates and cups sitting on tables from prior show. Half of our food order never came out had to ask for it. Food was bland tasted like it came straight out of the microwave. Dont know if I would go back.
