Even with covid here I was kind of skeptical on going. However the staff was friendly and most importantly when it came to social distancing the company was on point. I enjoyed Unhinged great movie

This theater is massive! As the only Regal in the area/region it does quite the excellent job and really offers a gigantic facility and incredible design. The outside admittedly is a bit more awe-inspiring and daunting than the inside but the actual place itself still offers a lot of room in a well-done, clean setting. They are a cornerstone of the Shops at Stonefield and so theres a lot to do in this quasi-mall otherwise as well.

The Very Best IMAX near the Valley! Built as an IMAX, Not Converted from a standard theatre, so you get the FULL IMAX EXPERIENCE! Sound, sight, stadium seats, EVERYTHING! Go watch an IMAX Movie there, and you will LOVE IT!!!

The inside is great, and its updated. The seats are really nice too. Definitely one of the best theatres Ive been too.

A large, clean, and modern theater with a good selection of films, and covered parking underneath. If your previous experience with IMAX theaters involved a massive screen, like at the Smithsonian, you will find that the IMAX screen here is regular-sized with a little curvature; not worth the extra $5. Also, don’t worry about being on time for the show, as there are at least 20 minutes of explosion-filled previews before the actual start of the film.

Amazing theater! A little tricky to navigate where to go when you have 3 children ages 5 and under with you. Nice theater seats. Tickets and snacks are pricey but worth budgeting for a family friendly experience.

This place has good movies, good sound and nice comfortable seats. The food is very good and the coca cola is 2. You will always get good service from each and every employee working there. So I hope you will come and enjoy this nice place and have a great day. I ama little sad that they no longer have coca cola. They now have Pepsi. It is still a great place to come and see a movie.

I dont like going to movie theaters, but if you need to in order to see a current film with your SO, this one is as good as any. Modern, clean, somewhat glitzy. There is no downtown traditional air here-- its glass and neon all the way-- but who cares? Most of your visit is in the dark anyway. And the seats, the sound, the file-in and file- out-- all very comfortable and well-executed. Overall very nice.

Book your tickets online for popular movies if you are going on a weekend and its the first week. The lines can be annoying. The concessions can be overcrowded as well on such days. Most of the time however, you will find no lines and very minimal crowds. The place is very clean and the staff is pretty helpful. Non popcorn stuff is freshly made to order and pretty decent but way overpriced.

Review №13

Theaters comfy and clean, love the assign seats, and all the employees Ive met are nice and knowledgeable. However, they really need to figure out how to speed up the concession lines. They only ever have three lines open and people take forever ordering food and choosing seats for their films. Employees are overwhelmed and guests are annoyed. Maybe if they stopped selling tickets at the concession stands and used their ticket booth again, the lines would speed up. Ill hopefully be able to update my review when they fix the concession line problem.

The IMAX theater is great. The concessions on the other hand completely suck. We bought our tickets at the kiosk at 7:18pm for a 7:30pm movie. We then got in line at the concession stand and did not move. Finally, at exactly 7:30, we left the line to go find our seats. We stood in line for 12 minutes and never got anywhere near the counter and so never got drinks and popcorn. Not a good experience.

Been here plenty of times and have never had a bad experience. Good quality theaters and quite well maintained.

Review №16

Nice theaters but incredibly slow lines at concessions (outdated theater fare), and since they’ve closed the ticket counter you need to wait in the concession line to get tickets, which can be 45 minutes plus during busy times. Buy your tickets online, skip the concessions, or simply use a different theater.

Very nice theater. Very spacious and big. I love that theres a parking garage right next to it. Very clean as well. Employees were kind and friendly as well

Place was packed, for the release of Frozen II, but we still got great service at the concession stand. Picking your seats in advance means not having to rush and get there early. Good job Regal

Review №19

This is a nice enough theater. It generally has enough showings for movies that I want to see and there is a wide variety of Refreshments at the concession stand.I have two big problems here, though. First of all, theres almost never anyone in the box office so you have to go to the concession line if you want to buy tickets. There are automated machines, but you cant go through them if you have a disability because the machines dont let you purchase companion seats. This means that if you need an ADA seat you have to go through what is often an incredibly long line to get tickets.The second problem is that I heard they are switching to Pepsi products. That is a major bummer, because my other half will not drink Pepsi but likes to have a Coke during a movie. We will almost certainly have to find another theater as soon as we show up and there is Pepsi on tap. Just so youre aware in case this is likewise a deal-breaker for you.

Definitely great movie experience... every time we come! Parking is a bit tricky and getting in is a little different, so if its your first time, park in the garage and take the elevator. Regardless, plan for 10-15 minutes to get inside.

Review №21

I bought 2 waters and sour patch kids and it cost me $16. Do they know the price of things EVERYWHERE else on the Planet? SO let me get this straight if each item cost $5 (which would be absolutely insane considering a case of water is less than that) its still cheaper than what I spent lol what a joke. Regal should be ashamed of themselves I hope they close and get turned into a highly successful laser tag arena. Until then I will be at literally any of the other Movie theaters in town.

Review №22

Waited an hour in line for concessions and missed the first 45 minutes of movie. I asked manager for help but she explained, rudely, that they are understaffed and there was nothing she could do to compensate me. Every one in the concession lines that I talked too were very late for their movie as well. AMC does self serve drinks, self serve butter, and faster service which makes for a much nicer experience.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Quality food/snacks. Very comfortable temperature wise. The only drawback is the concession prices. They are way way way way way overpriced. I will buy from concession stand on occasion but not often.

Review №25

We only go to Regal Stonefield if there is a movie we want to see that is not playing in any other theaters. The reason? Service at concessions is painfully slow. I regularly see people leave the concession line because they are tired of waiting or their movie is starting. Ive missed the beginning of several movies after a 15-20 min wait in line. When you pay over $20 for a large popcorn (usually stale) and a large soda so that you can get a refill, you shouldnt have to miss 15 minutes of your movie to get that refill. Alamo, of course, has in seat service, and Violet Crown has a soda machine by the door for refills. Should have a dedicated line for refills at the very least, if not implement a better system so that the line moves faster.

Review №28

We have been regulars at this theater for the last 5 years. However, that ended today. We will no longer make the 30 min drive to this theater now that the ticket booth is closed. There were 5 concession stand - ticket sale lines with 20-25 people in each line. This is extremely poor management and organization. Had we decided to wait in this ridiculous line, we also would have been very late to our movie and would have never been able to get refills which is the perk of buying large sizes. Yes, there are options to buy using the kiosk or a phone but those also charge high convenience fees and the kiosk also had a very long line. Sorry Charlottesville but we will not be back. Too many other options.

Excellent selection of movies, very comfortable seats, excellent snacks and the bathrooms are clean. The new automated ticket purchasing system is a little confusing, but once figured out, it works fine.

Review №33

I havent been in a while. However, its seem to be somewhat upgrading. There seem to be construction going on around the theater.I waited in line this pass weekend to purchase my ticket at the concession stand and spent $21.50 on myself a small popcorn, a medium drink and some nachos (the nacho chips bag was opened at the other end and chips were stale). This couldve been a nice meal at Outback or Applebees easily.I see that they are selling wine so maybe one day I will try that..

This is the best theater to attend if you are out with someone with a disability. They provide free companion passes. They also now have reserved seating which allows you to sit in the best suited location. The seats are large and comfortable and the row I was in had ample leg room. I encourage all to support this establishment.

Review №36

This is outrageous, the tickets are sold at concessions instead of the actual box office. Making it so the wait to get tickets and food much slower. Me and my family have loved this Theater for years, been regulars when we want to see a movie but now you have to wait in a 20-30 person line just to get tickets if you are paying cash.

One of the only Regal theaters in Virginia not to support Regal’s value days program or student discount program. Makes other Charlottesville theaters like Violet Crown or Alamo a much better option.Outdated IMAX and outdated IMAX seats, not worth the upgrade.

This theater is on MULTIPLE websites as an AMC theater. They do NOT take AMC gift cards and have done nothing to correct this. Be prepared to pay cash for tickets and ridiculous prices for concessions. All those gift cards we bought so we can patronize this theater are useless.

Review №53

My daughter and I showed up at 1220 for a 1250 matinee. The doors were locked even though the stated operating hours were listed as: from 11 AM to 11 PM. The front lights were off but the interior lights were on and there was staff moving around inside. They ignored us and another lady standing outside. It was cold but we braved another five minutes rattling the locked doors in hopes of attracting the staff. They could see us but ignored us. We left and went to another theatre. The callous attitude of the staff and the failure to open per stated policy on line and on doors dictate it will be a long time (if ever) that we return.

The hospitality that was presented to me was enough to make me feel comfortable about returning. The Reception and sound of the show was awesome, and, even though the seat was as comfortable as a recliner, it helped me to get through the movie without putting me to sleep.

Love the theater but I feel either they need to hire more employees or schedule them a little better. Not a big deal because I always have a great experience theyr. Oh the unlimited movie plan has been well worth the price. Def better than Moviepass.

Great IMAX - went to see Aladdin, well worth it. Bathrooms are nice, and everything else is spic’n’span.Pro tip: Going Alone? Or even as a couple? Don’t get the large popcorn, you’ll get a stomachache. It’s just too much. The medium is where it’s at. Perfect balance of quality AND quantity.

Not much to say. You go in to watch a movie :pEdit: Woah a response. While I have you here, I was super bummed when I came in for the Star wars The Rise of Skywalker and the concessions would not allow me to get the promo bucket because they ran out of cups :(

The most handicapped accessible theater in Charlottesville, hands down! Garage to theater in about 12 steps!!!! I am able to take my 88 year old mother to the movies with ZERO worries. My mother can attend the live stream Metropolitan Opera productions they show at Regal Stonefield. Priceless to a woman who used to see them live in NYC. The staff is always so kind and helpful! Always a smile for us So, I am passing along a heartfelt THANK YOU from my mother and myself. You have 2 very loyal customers for life!

Love Regal. Theaters are great and the seating is pretty good. It can get busy so make sure you time yourself right before going to see a new movie. The food is pricey but all movie theaters are. Good vibes and nice people.

Review №65

Stonefield-commons appears to no longer yse their outside ticket booth. This for es everyone to use the concession line or the kiosks. Using the kiosks do not allow you touse your Regal rewards card. Using concessions forces you to stand in very long lines even if you dont want to wait the time for popcorn. Yes this basically creates more revenue for Regal. However, the lines are becoming so long you have to arrive so early. I think there greed will just cause me to rent a movie at home

Review №68

Great cinema, staff is friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms. My only issue is that it cost over 40.00 for two tickets and large popcorn and two drinks. I just returned from Colombia, S.America, and they can do it for 4 people, 2 large popcorn and 4 sodas for about 17.00 USd. Total. Both equivalent theatre quality and food quality. Just feel that 40.00 is a bit much. But, Im sure the overhead is higher here. My opinion.

This is a very nice place with many cinema viewing rooms. The admission and concessions are reasonably priced and will not put you in the poor house. This was one of the few places actually playing Apollo 11.

Review №71

Beautiful theater, horrible service. As a regal employee myself, I was extremely disappointed with management and the staff. Staff seemed to not even want to be there and the manager who was ringing up my tickets, he said my card didnt exist when it worked initially at the concession. Seemed hostile and when I went back to concessions he said my discount didnt work because it was only at my theater and was rude about it. I knew this wasnt true seeing how I have used it at other locations and when we had gotten popcorn, the concessions worker gave us popcorn with a lot of crumbs ((you can tell where theres crumbs as you scoop the popcorn)) and little to no butter. Popcorn was stale and no popcorn salt was available. Extremely disappointed and the only reason Im giving two stars is because the theater was beautiful, clean, and the area is nice due to restaurants near by for dinner and a movie. After working at my theater with friendly staff, great management who arent rude to customers or employees to other locations it was just disappointing and a horrible experience.

Great movie theater with plenty of leg room. Not a bad seat in the house. Snacks a little pricey but where arent they these days. Went to two movies, Madea and Us, Us was in IMAX and was a beautiful experience. Security was on point escorting some loud youth out of the theater during Us to the applause of the other patrons. Id definitely recommend this theater. And you get to pick your seats!

We bought advanced tickets for a really late start time and we were not able to make it for the movie. So i wanted to call them to see if i can exchange the tickets for a later date or a refund but there is no local number to actually call the theater and speak to a human being. Just a recorded line that does not WORK! WTH!

Went to a matinee on Saturday afternoon, ticket window was closed and there was a sign saying buy your tickets at the concessions counter. We bought at one of the automated machines but then had to wait forever in line at concessions for ONE couple to complete their ticket and snack transactions! Not a good model for busy times!! Also HATE having to pick before completing the purchase!

One person working at 5pm on a Sunday. Been in line for 15 minutes (for a second time), about to miss my movie. The person refused to scan the QR code on my phone for digital tickets and I had to go print them out - wasting paper.Go to Alamo. Seats are nicer. Employees are plentiful. Tickets are the same price or cheaper.I also dislike them making you select your seats when you buy the ticket at the counter at Regal, it slows down the purchasing time tremendously.
