Nice place to take a break from world. Prices are reasonable and concessions are always fresh. Staff is courtesy and kind. Tuesdays special is at times full but acceptable.

We love coming here! The seats are super comfy! Its great to be able to buy the tickets ahead of time to reserve our seats, too. The staff are really nice. The only thing Id suggest is more bathroom stalls!

Its well worth it for a evening date. Nice soft recliners, food trays for your convenience, liftable armrests for couples and easy going evening staff. Very satisfied with my purchase and quite pleased with the interior layout. Disclaimer, i experienced this in the left theater screening of hallway. I think was theater 9

Very pleasant. The employees that are in the concession were ready to serve. Good job concession team. Water luke warm in the ladies restroom, I did not have to hesitate washing my hands in icy cold water on a chilly night. Thank you.

Allen 8 is a pretty comfortable theater with reclining chairs and descent room. It has always been very clean when I have visited, and preordering your tickets and scanning them from your phone once you arrive is nice as well. Of course, I would like to see ticket prices lower, but who wouldnt?

We watched Rambo Last Blood in theatre #5. Yikes!!! My son and I saw a dark shadow figure, below the screen in front of the first section seating. Talk about WHOA!! Great place to get away and watch a movie. Great staff.

I always get my movie tickets here. Love the leg room and reclining seats. The staff is always friendly. One thing was crazy though when Angry Birds 2 was premiering I couldnt find the movie tickets. It was showing one time at night . I realized I had to download the Allen theater app and there it was all the times I needed. I was like wow really? There wasnt much people in the theater cause I think they didnt realize the movie tickets was on the app and not on the web site. Any if you guys cant find the times you want maybe check the app . The app is easy and quick.

The reclining seats are a plus. This place has been here for a long time. The popcorn is stale and spongy, Albuquerque theater popcorn is somehow better. Supposedly they have Dolby surround yet they choose to make obnoxiously loud. Ive been to theatres that used THX and that wasnt loud at all, there is a difference between loud and quality. Kinda disappointing yet I do recommend.

Its been alot of years since I gone to a movie at the Allen Theater in Farmington, and to my amusement, I was surprised that I worry for nothing on finding a suitable place to sit. They let me pick my seat, as well as, when I got there it was a recliner with a tray, OMG.I would recommend going there for just that experience alone regardless of the movie you choose.But thats just me.

I like this it is usually pretty fast buying tickets and getting popcorn don’t forget the jalapeños!And of course the kids are going to love it every time glove the cherry Coke. It’s expensive but if your on a budget they got $5 movies on Tuesday.

Review №20

Seats are amazing, concession was great,only gave 3 stars cause 2 patrons talked and were on their cell phones thru all the movie, several people complained, to management but nobody ever shut them down. Made enjoying the movie hard. They should have been made to put away their phones or asked to leave, kinda disappointed in management.

Today we drove 100 miles to come watch Good Boys at the Allen 8 theater at 355pm but come to find and out their website is not updated so might want to call to make sure your show time is correct. Now we gotta wait until the 5pm for showing.

So I love the roomy reclining seats here,but I cant figure out why the theater is always playing childrens movies. The adult movies I want to see are never at this theater. If they are playing a movie you want to see, its a great choice

Best theater in Farmington. Usually clean and well staffed. Not the friendliest of employees, but theyre not rude. Reclining leather seats keep us coming back.

Good service. Helpful staff. One girl even looked up the ingredients of the popcorn butter to make sure it was dairy free for us. Forgot to tell them not to scrape bottom of popcorn so we had a lot of unpopped kernals and even some burnt popcorn. Enjoyed the movie!

Having assigned seating makes going to the movies more enjoyable. Not having to fight crowds and getting there super early. Seats recline too, good place.

HANDICAPP SEATING IS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES! THIS THEATER NEEDS TO COMPLY WITH ADA LAWS AND STATE THIS WHEN ABLE BODIES PURCHASE TICKETS FOR HANDICAP SEATS!

Purchase tickets from website, grab some food, enjoy movie. Pretty great theater. The upgrades are fantastic and assigned seating is awesome. Minus one star for too many previews before movie starts and theater volume is way too loud, borderline deafening.

The theatre has been upgraded to reserved recliner seats with trays. The popcorn is somewhat better as well. The surround sound is pretty great also. Overall a good movie going experience.

Review №43

Overall good experience, clean and friendly staff but halfway through the movie the air conditioning was turned off and everyone was real hot and couldnt wait til movie was over so we could get outside in the fresh air. I would think they make enough money off of the movie tickets to keep the air on for everyone. That part ruined our night out at the movies.

Review №44

I really enjoy watching movies from the comfort of the reclining chairs. The concession stand is well staffed, so you can get your snacks & drinks without the long lines. They need a ticket scanner for those patrons who buy and print their tickets online or for those who wish to use their phones as confirmation of ticket purchase.

Suggestion: slow as sloth snack stand! Make it more user friendly and faster. Revenue for company is your food and snacks. Plus side revamp of chairs with recliners.

Review №48

Great place to see a movie. With the assigned seating it would be nice for the ushers to actually seat you, my past time in a woman was in my seat and refused to move and wouldnt show her ticket. Ushers werent very helpful. Id rather not make a stink in public and have some random person tossed from a theater or have someone start shouting, itd be a lot easier if someone was available before the movie, in the theater, to handle issues like this.

The attendants are very nice and professional, and they always have easy, and quick ways to purchase and select your seats. All the theaters at Allen 8 have new automatic recliners and are very comfortable. The movies are always excellent quality and the sound system is fantastic.

Nice seats. Staff is rude, lobby is disgusting. Looks as if havent swept or mopped in months. Counter staff acts like you bothered them. If you hate your job find a new one. B

Review №65

Amazing comfy chairs. So much so that I began to fall asleep and had to sit up. Staff helped me check in with my online receipt. Only complaint was the kid next to me sucking on his straw most the movie. I suffered so he could enjoy the movie. Why I rarely go to the theater.

Review №68

We made special reservations two months in advance to watch the new Star Wars movie. We also showed up six hours before showtime to get the best seats. There was some kind of big rope clearly across the entire screen the whole movie. It was there well before the movie started but never fixed. The manager was unapologetic and borderline rude about the issue not thinking it was a problem. Allen theaters obviously doesn’t care about their customers

We would go much more if the confessions werent so expensive. Or just offered a few more specials or deals. Were gonna get popcorn and drinks, I just wish we could afford this outing more than we do. The facility is very clean and staff is friendly.

Review №77

Went in today, 1/9 to watch Bumblebee. Staff present at 4:20 showing were incredibly rude. No acknowledgement that we were even there on our arrival, figured out we were supposed to buy tickets using the computer ourselves. Staff continued to be rude as we purchased concession items. Perhaps you should make that process automated as well. The movie went black several times and they finally shut it down. Each time I had to find someone to fix the issue. My daughter overhead staff commenting that it was going to keep going down every so often. If they knew that why were tickets sold for that showing? Overall an absolutely MISERABLE experience!

A bit pricey but easily the most comfortable theater in town. I couldnt stop eating the popcorn.4 stars bc the rr stall I went into didnt have toilet paper. And I wish they would offer the bottled water as part of the combo instead u have to get tap.

The new seating is amazing! Like being at home on your love seat. With power reclining seats that come in pairs, which can be divided with an arm rest, or put it up and cuddle your love.

Review №98

Prices are getting so high-- $9 for a matinee, and and extra $1 to get tickets on line. No published local number. If you need more information, you have to call Las Cruces, then they give you a number. Then the information you get will probably be wrong. Website implied that the theaters opened at nine, so I went at nine to save the $1 (with as many tickets as I was going to purchase, and an empty theater, thought it was worth it). Had to call Cruces, then got the local number, called the local number, and was told, No, we open at 10. So I went back at 10..... Still not open, called them back, and was told, No, I was misinformed, it was 30 minutes prior to the first show, and I could just come back then. No apology, and no offer to make it right. Unfortunately, the Allen theaters are the only game in town, and the next town, so its Allen or nothing. Pretty frustrated in the quality of customer service today, especially from their main offices.
