Cool staff.Cheap tickets. Matinee prices for adults go for $5.50.There is assigned seating, thankfully.They have “Luxury Loungers”, and they’re comfy. And as of January 2020 in good shape. They almost appear brand new.If you want a quiet movie experience I highly suggest you go during the middle of the day during the work week while everyone else is at work or school.A bonus, there are some restaurant options in the adjoining shopping center.I recommend you give this theater a try, and like always, enjoy.

I have come here a couple of times with friends. This is a really nice theatre with very comfortable HEATED seats that recline for a REALLY REALLY good price. I love that they offer hot Cheetos with melted cheese (drool) so delicious! Sound and video quality is great!

Its my second visit back since the reopening. I have to give the staff a five star for enforcing clean safe guidelines to the tee. I have one less concern about my health being at risk. I seen Unhinged, boy I left feeling scared. The man was m- a- d Mad.

Well, what is there to say. This was the first time Since the pandemic started that Ive been to the movies. Saw the Honest Thief. It was alright. It just felt good, got the feeling like everything is getting back 2 normal. But deep down I know is not. Had a good experience, what little staff there was, were really professional. I kept comparing it to the before time though. The game room was close, which was disappointing. Not alot of people in there. They still scared I suppose. Every thing was clean. Which is nice. I just hate that theres no barriers between the urinals though. I aint trying to see another vatos privates

This place doesn’t even deserve a star. Came out with my family to watch a movie and while we were seated watching the movie a flying roach flew on my little girl so we went to speak to the manager and all he said to us was “ what is that you want me to do” Never coming here again.

Carpet smells kinda funky. But they have a starbucks, which is pretty cool. But the staff here, not so friendly. (Not rude, but don’t give the most welcoming attitude.). The seats have temperature control, and leg rest

This an awesome theater. You cant beat the prices. The older man who takes the tickets at the front is always so nice and cheerful. The staff was on point at the concession stand. I love the assigned seating. The seats are very comfortable and they recline nicely.It is a very clean theater.My son took me for my Birthday Movie today to see Harley Quinn . He got me a large fresh popcorn, Cherry Coke + Rasinettes , my absolute favorites!!It doesnt get any better than that. It was fabulous!!Highly recommend for all.

Always a decent place to go watch a movie. Food is overpriced but for a theater it’s in the regular ballpark. Although you get small portions when you get the nachos. Make sure and ask for a couple of nacho cheese packs or you won’t have enough. Everything else was good. Enjoyed the seats much!

Love!! Love to new changes!! I had avoided going there for a few years, until a friend invited me to a movie. I was reluctant, but agreed. Surprise! I thought what the heck. Its so nice, reclining seats, freshly painted walls etc. Go you wont be disappointed. What a hidden jewel. Please if you do go, dont destroy it, keep it nice so everyone can enjoy our neighborhood theater.

It says that they are taking the covid precautions but trust me, there are no cleanliness precautions being taken there. All Hand Sanitizers are empty, no temperature taken and the seats did not look clean at all.

Review №21

I feel like it’s a pretty run-of-mill theater. The seats are nice and recline, and it is kept clean. It is older but renovated. If you get the large drink and/or popcorn you can get a free refill. All of the arcade games are a dollar a piece, which feels very expensive.

We love Tinseltown!! I’ve been watching movies here since I was a little girl and now my boys love coming here too! The upgrades are great, the new seats with seat warmers and new food + drink options make it a much nicer experience. I highly recommend Tinseltown!

It was Amazing!!! I loved the fact that you could order your tickets online and reserve seats as well as its not as expensive, The reclining seats in Xd were awesome and the overall visit was great. I just saw The Birds of Prey movie there today. It was so worth seeing.

Theyve done a great job with the renovations. New seats (reclining and heated!) And good screens with no dead spots. If you havent been in a while, give it another spin

I had an amazing experience at Tinseltown yesterday. I left my business phone on Christmas Day. As I arrived home I noticed I left it at the theater. I asked my wife to call to inform them of the situation. The phone was found and and ready for me to pick it up. Every employee were very friendly showed integrity, very helpful, with gratitude, I wasn’t even worried. Thank you Tinseltown for years of amazing service.

It was surprisingly good. I was initially skeptic. They made good upgrades and now that 290 construction is over, this is be a nice place to watch movies. Its close to downtown so its an advantage

The people at the stand didnt bother to check a rather overly large bag through, despite the sign of not being allowed. Though the clear floor, the spacious entrance and the strangely warm feel. I do enjoy coming here and there for the coming movie.

Great location easy to access from major freeway and metro area. The theater offers various different screens and the seating is powered. The concessions were made fresh and the are a variety of different popcorn flavors available. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering questions about the menu items. The theater has plenty of parking and the is clean and well maintained I would recommend this location for a great movie experience.

Love that the seats were upgraded to heated seats. You can control the heat settings, plus you can recline the seats too. Snacks are great. Just realized they have Valentina hot sauce that goes great with my popcorn, for those who like some spice to your snacks

Review №45

Still one of the best prices tickets. They have heated recliners, reserved seats, adult beverages. Sometimes, you will have people in the theaters talking and texting during the movie. Depending on the movie and your seat, this may not matter to you.

Review №48

Inexpensive movie tickets compared to other places. They have comfortable, warming, lounge chairs that are easy to operate. Concessions are the usual in price and quality. The only reason Im giving this a 3 star is because the popcorn salt for everyone was on the counter just in a plain dixie cup. And the second reason is because they need desperately to step up their restroom game. Im talking tear the whole restrooms down and rebuild them. The restrooms were so old and dirty. After watching a movie and holding my bladder, Im not looking to need to pop a squat. One of the toilets didnt flush so their was a buildup of tissue. Other than that, the movie going experience was quite pleasant.

I like the fact that it is right off of the highway and the parking lot is well lit around the building. The prices for concessions are a bit over the top, but that is standard fare for most movie theaters these days. Wide selection of current titles.

Comfortable seats, but the crowd is rowdy and the theater doesnt have rules about disruptive patrons. There were lots of young children playing games on electronics during the movie, some with the sound on. Some adults even use flashlights multiple times during the show. Wont be coming back.

Liking the newly renovated place. They have loungers now that are really comfortable. The only thing is now all movies, all showings, doesnt matter how long its been out, are reserved seating. Its not too bad. If there is a certain spot you like to sit, I suggest getting there earlier so you can grab those spots.

I been coming here since I was in middle school lol this place got remodel and I enjoy the new loungers. Not including that Im a cinemark movie club member lol (that app comes in handy)Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that you guys need to keep your arcade working lol 2 machines took my money cause the controllers didnt work. Come on guys. Thats the money maker for all the little kids. Not even the basketball machines working lol thats all.

Love this place. We moved back to Cypress a while back and i havent been here since 2003. They have upgraded EVERYTHING. They know sell Beer and Wine here. They also have Starbucks and apart from the normal food and snacks, they sell pizza and other entrees in the same area that they sell the starbucks. They also have another area in the Theater that sells Merchandise from movies like Joker, IT, Avengers and more. So, thats 3 different areas that sell different things! The 4th area is the Arcade area and its nice too. To top it all off the seats in the Theater can recline and are adjustable. We also just joined the Cinemark Members App. Gives you discounts and more. I could write a short story about this place. I dont want to forget about the good customer service they have here. Overall, I highly recommend this place!!!

$5 per movie is a price that other movie theater cant compete with, minus the Dollar Movies. Some may have better quality seats or service, but Tinseltown overall has better pricing by ticket standards.

They season their floor with popcorn and invite real police to spice up the movie with constant flash lighting effect. Plus you get to see people get kicked out. Very entertaining !P.S. I hope you didn’t catch anything in their restrooms.

Review №98

Good ticket prices. However, the steps to go up to your seat inside the theater are so loud. We were in a sad, quiet moment in a movie and all you could hear was the people walking up and down the stairs. They added more comfortable seats to the theater with electric foot rest and heated seats. My husband and and I spend $11 on two tickets. It is worth it over all.
