As I sit at home curled up on my couch debating on what movie I should watch during this particularly rainy afternoon, I begin to long for the times of the year where I fly out to Los Angeles and enjoy movies the way one should in The Dome Entertainment Centre LA.

What an icon of Hollywood. I remember in 1966 coming to watch the epic Battle of the Bulge war movie. And then seeing the cinema again February 2020 brought back great memories.

Accessible parking, restaurants, retail stores and pay stations. Nice staff and enjoyable evening .

Really do love this theater and loved the Godzilla setup. Expensive, but the best theatrical experience in town.

Went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey 50th anniversary screening here. Iconic place

Loved this theater was surprised how big our theater was upstairs. The art was amazing. They sell wine here and have theater hosts.

Ok theatre. Wish their parking lots will get ev charging already

The dome, wow, whats not to love. When I was a kid my dad took me to see How the West Was Won here in real, bon-a-fide Cinerama. Three projectors in lock, wow, that was awesome. Not many opportunities to see something in Cinerama; if you get the opportunity Id deffo give it a peeperoni with your eyeballs and ear sockets.

Great venue, I was there for E3 and had a blast watching the Shadow of Mordor reveal. Even do the E3 event logistics people were a bit confusing and the line up was super long, still well worth it.

The game Changers movie premiere what truly a game Changer. This is a must see, eye opening experience.. check your local listings..

A World Class Experience in enjoying movies...

One of the best in LA. Especially for Q&As.

The Cinerama Dome is such a cool and iconic theater. Last move I saw was Terminator 2 inside.

I went here because Id just moved to LA and so many of my coworkers told me to check it out. After a few months, I finally did. It was nice, but thats as good as Id say. It was cool and definitely gave a different feel to the movie but its not something Id go out of my way for, and its way out of my way considering I have a movie theater 5 min away from my apartment

Cool entertainment hub! Geodome and ArcLight théâtres, reserved seating, eateries, parking garage & cool shops

Premier screening of the heart of man. What an incredible movie. It reaches your core.

Lackluster atmosphere. Really expensive. Relatively uncomfortable seats, like solid wood or plastic covered with worn fabric. Good projection. The dome used to be really cool until they did a really weird thing with the screen masking on the bottom. Nothing wrong with a curved screen if you know what to do with it. And for decades here it looked good. Now instead of straight edges like all normal movies, the dome screen tries to hide the odd picture geometry from its severe projection angle by curving the bottom corners so it looks like a big open mouth.

Nice theater, parking is about $3 with validation

Was looking forward to seeing the pre-screening of 1917. Even with a reservation I was turned away. Very, very upset to say the least.

Staff needs to be better informed but other than that, its a damned decent movie theater--especially for being in Hollywood.

High end movie theater with historical significanceDefinitely one of the better viewing experiencesFriendly staff and beautiful location

DOOOOOOME. Been wanting to go here since I moved to LA and the dome doesnt disappoint. Very cool ambiance, lots of seats with ample arm room and comfort, but the leg room is very crowded. Try not to need to pee. Beer and wine is served in the dome and in the main theater (seat service not available). Popcorn is delicious, but you cant add your own butter :( Parking is validated!

This is my go to movie complex with the only dome in Los Angeles and one of only three in the USA. Stadium seating, beer and wine available and the traditional Hollywood ambiance.

Amazing venue for movies. 70mm and Dome format is a plus. Also has amazing movie props from time to time.

Nice looking bulding in a clean area. But I did not go in.

Very cool to watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood here and see it in the movie. Iconic spot and iconic experience :)

The dome has one of the most unique approaches to movie going in the country let alone in a state of California, and thats something thats hard to say.It goes without saying that the acoustics in the movie theater are very unique given its ceiling structure those rooms are usually reserved for premium movies AKA the movie that they know is going to get them the most money.However unlike a traditional movie theater in the middle of a plaza or a designated business district and strip mall, the closed in space and variety of things you can do is kind of original when it comes to how it approaches the layout.Upon entering from the street side the 1st thing youre going to see to your right is an on rail sushi restaurant, the parking lot straight ahead, and the dome to the left all of which is within I can promise you it takes less than 25 to 30 steps to get to the entrance of either.Inside however you can tell the level of premium quality has blended well with artistic integrity. Although its not commonly mentioned the dome does have an in house aesthetic leaning toward art one display sometimes is a psinted bench giving its opinion on North American capitalism and greed within our economy and country, or sometimes its replicas of original movie outfits on display, connected to very intricate television screens set up in a wallpaper format to show various images promoting things.And a small concession stand instead of giving you the traditional movie junk food also offers books and reading material and is across the hall from a built-in restaurant.If there ever was a date night in California its in this area. That aside not even a full 2-3 minute drive down that same road is one of the staples of California a very large mom and pop movie and entertainment store that carries everything from VHS to Blu-rays of anything you want music included as well as fan memorabilia.Imagine if FYE possibly the last bastion of entertainment for sale, and the entire video entertainment section at your favorite Best Buy had a beautiful love child and then put it in a 2 to 3 story building. Not here to promote that probably review it at a later date, but rest assured if you looking for some form of fun go around the dome theres something for everyone.Feed the homeless iin the area too please, just cause they cant afford a movie doesnt mean they cant score some popcorn off you right?

We got to have a tour from a wonderful woman that work there and she told us a lot of movie stars come there to see movies actually. We walked by one night and there was red carpet rolled outside so they had some special occasion going on was pretty cool just to see what was going on for a bit. Really cool beautiful place

How cool! A piece of movie history thats still open as it was. Highly recommended to see a remastered classic there (2001 was amazing) for full effect. The seats are new a comfy and it has its own snack bar with little wait.Cons: its hard to tell which movies are in it sometimes, and the arm rests dont fold up so its hard to console a loved one during a scary movie.

This is a wonderful place to just walk around and take in the sights. Plenty of opportunities for selfies as well. Go at night to see some nice lights!

Great place for a night of entertainment.Friendly and clean.George Vreeland Hill

Yes, one of the ultimate Hollywood movie experiences. I was lucky enough to see parasite here, and was sufficiently blown away.

This place is iconic. Its a blast to attend an event or movie premiere. Ive been here twice and have enjoyed my movie experience in the dome. The sound is high tech and wonderful!I attended the showing of Lost in Space with Netflix producers, its movie stars and guest. Watching it in the dome on the big screen, hearing their sound track sounded soooo different as it aired a few days later sitting in my living room, lol.The theater is clean, has comfortable seating and good popcorn. You might even see a star or two since youre so close to Hollywood! I saw Mark Harmill. (:

Ive known the Cinerama Dome since I was a child. I grew up in Hollywood in the early 70s to 80s. Recently, I went back to get a bite at the Veggie Grill, and, to see a movie at The Dome. Its a great landmark of nostalgic days.

Ginormous screen! Youll literally rotate your head back and forth with how wide the screen is. The sound is spectacular. Lets just say seeing anything at the dome is an experience. Probably why youll often see premiers being hosted here. A literal and cultural LA landmark.

Parking Garage for Netflix Tv Series... [Hollywood] Paramount Studio stage

A monumental location for movie history! From the spacious and large sized auditorium seating to the giant curved screen, this is a at least once experience. I chose to watch Avengers: Infinity War (2018) at this location as a way to set my experience in stone at The Dome.One tip: definitely try to choose a seat in the middle.

Best movie theater Ive ever been to.

Awesome cinema and great to see it in the film we watched, that doesnt happen very often.

I went to see the electric church documentary with Jimi Hendricks! Beautiful vintage theatre! Very professional and friendly staff! I will definitely comeback.

Arclight is a premium movie chain and their prices reflect that. Parking is not free and be careful if you park on the street, you could get ticketed or towed. That said the popcorn is always fresh here they sell food and alcohol. I will go here if there are guest appearances or q & as with actors or directors. The actual place deserves 5 stars but the rif raff out front and parking situation are sketch.

A great place to see a movie and grab a beer or two with your popcorn.

Worst service ever! BIAS

The best place Ive ever been to see 70mm films

Nice location. Comfortable theaters.

Its not the best place to watch a movie during the day but at night its worth it.

One of the best movie theatres in Hollywood. I dont think theres a bad seat in the house.

Ena the manager there is the best

Movies, salons, shopping, restaurants, convenient, great parking, etc. If you visit, go to the Veggie Grill...amazing! My family ate there three times on our trip. We loved it that much! The food is outstanding, the staff ensured a flawless customer service experience, and even the beverage center was a pleasant surprise with unexpected and excellent choices! I cant say enough good things about this place!

Wonderful place to take a date for just have a nice outing. You have a first Class movie theater, and numerous locations to eat including a decent vegan option. Blue C Sushi is in the same complex and is a nice Sushi go round. You are also right across the street from Amoeba Records which is a Los Angeles cultural icon and worth a visit to Native angelinos and tourists.

Love this theatre. Great staff! Food yummy! Drinks on point!

Awesome Godzilla was coming out of the dome. The kids loved it

2001 A space odyssey! Wow. Will never see that movie the same again! Definitely a must go to for ANY classic movie... great location and concessions! WINE and craft BEER!

The theater #8 itself was tidy. The crew were knowledgable and very helpful. But the side entrance from sunset to the theater(if you were facing the dome) was not really clean. Fliea every where, inside and outside of the doors. That is my only complain. Lots of parking( validation for 1st 4 hours, but you still have to pay $3.00) make sure you pre pay at the station if cash, otherwise debit will do at the exit.

Nice multiplex with a good restaurant that serves surprisingly good food. Shopping there in the few stores? Meh.

Great little place to hang out with friends. Just wish the dining options were a little more varied and not so packed (given how few there are). We had to walk 2 blocks away to a much-less crowded restaurant. Still, the Arc Light experience is hard to beat.

Its pretty good. I saw star wars here so it gets the basic stamp of approval for seeing an important movie. But it could be better. Sound is passable but nothing special, the curved screen is a bit weird, and of course Arclight snack prices are obscene. The historical value is cool though.

Convenient location and great price with theatre validation. No complaints!

Watched Free Solo here. Definitely different experience. Its huge and you get the feel you are sitting in opera hall.

Historic Hollywood movie theater known locally as The Dome.Beautiful geodesic dome in the Buckminster Fuller tradition. Not a bad seat in the house, but I prefer the 2nd tier balcony.Dont forget to check out the building of the dome exhibit with a scaled model showing the dome in section view.Remember to validate your parking ticket for $3 parking in the adjacent parking structure.

I’ve only been to the arc light a handful of times but the movies I watched were never in the dome, until Blade Runner 2024, Watched a late night showing so there was only about 10 people in the theaters. Don’t get me wrong the dome was aesthetically pleasing and nice to finally see it but then again you’re there to watch a movie(in the dark). The movie ticket prices are a bit steep, concession stands were okay, gotta pay for parking and then deal with the chaos of getting out (that is if you’re seeing a night time showing with the nightclub across the street).

I have always wondered why this plaza is so vacant? You would think being by the arclight would attract a good crowd?

BEST place to watch a movie. The only place I’ll go in LA.

Love it here! You can choose where u want to sit, and have some yummy food/cocktails while you wait.

The arclight is my favorite theater. They always have superb sound and picture quality. I make an effort to see movies in these theaters and refuse to visit any other. Theres a nice selection of snacks and drinks, including alcohol. The place is clean and the audience is respectful with regards to noise, talking, and cell phones.

My first time here. Came to see the re showing of 2001. Nice theater, floors werent cleaned between showing so needles to say my feet stuck to the floor. I did end up leaving with a neck cramp due to the seats bring a bit tight without room to shift.

Such a great place to just walk, shop, eat, or people watch.The top level of the parking structure has an amazing view of L.A. and can be very romantic if youre trying to get to 2nd base on date night...with consent of course

Exciting, Beautiful Lovely Multi-Cultural People. 5 Stars from fussy me! Food, World Class? French, Italian, & South American esp. Brizal.. Grest place to take your date? Gays Welcomed, Cool Spot.l

Nice clean theater, youre likely to see a celebrity

Incredible venue for watching a movie on an ultra large wrap-around screen. Unique experience definitely worth it.

Great for a date night or groups for a movie or event. The restaurant is great and may find wait times. If seeing a movie they will note the movie time start so you wont miss it and food is prepared on time for you, the bar is great too and maybe busy during new movies or on weekends. Parking is plenty and valadation available with movie ticket stub and available at ticket counter, once valadation is processed you have 15min to exit.

Great place to have a great time. I loved it there. All the staff were helpful and kind. The costs are higher but worth it.

Love everything about this movie theater, from the interior to the gigantic curved screen, and little introductions before the movies. Air conditioning is pretty intense, though, I wasnt prepared and froze to the core during a two-hour movie ️.

They have friendly staff, they care about customers. All information is settled up with good care and technology. Easy to spot. Very clear and clean. Nice and decent atmosphere. To see a movie, not even think about it. You got it. It will be a nice and a thrilled experience my friend. So if you want to have a good time go for it. If you have a girlfriend, you have it all.Lets keep it that way all the time. Lets keep itclean and decent place to go.

Line moved quickly was able to find a good parking spot.. The popcorn was Great... I would love to go back

Two great bars for pre movie fun. And, awesome theaters with giant screens. Whats not to love? ArcLight delivers solid projection, too,and as company policy always have an employee stay for the first several minutes of a film to make sure picture and sound are tight.And, the dome sports a giant screen for some awesome movie experiences as well.

The best place to view a movie in all of Los Angeles.

Amazing love the movi es

Tops in Hollywood for movie experience. Real butter popcorn. Special events and excellent service. Pricey though.

Five stars for their film : sound and picture. But just one star to the upholstery of chairs (have not been cleaned up since the first time theater opened up in early 2000. Also, an improvement on the ushers monitoring the movie patrons of making sure their electronics are being kept off during the duration of the movie.Edit: only thing that changed its their lavatories- got a facelift. Looking forward seeing the upholstery replaced-

Who doesnt want to see a movie in the Dome? It is laser projection so it is better quality than most screens. Also the seats are so comfortable and there is not a bad seat in the house. If there is a movie playing here go see it. It is worth the extra money and it is the only theater of its kind... anywhere

Easy to access, great place to see new movies. Has awesome people with wonderful customer service. On good nights it can be packed with loving people

Great venu to watch a movie. The Dome is terrific. The cost is high. With a movie and snacks, can run as high as fifty bucks for two people. Other than that, great place to hang out...especially at night.

Great place for a coffee pick up!

Good selection of movies, plenty of parking and food options in and around the complex.

Hollywood landmark...built for the debut of CLEOPATRA/TAYLOR-BURTON

Nice theater to catch a film and drinks are served.

Cinephiles dream.

A bit pricey but its a Hollywood staple to take visitors. During our visit they had some costumes from Thor out on display which was cool. Very comfy seats.

Who doesnt love a good premiere??

Best movie theater with an Americana vibe and excellent theaters and services. Classic LA.

A good movie experience

Its a classic but Arc light has made it into somethings its not.

Best movie theater in LA

One of the great movie theaters of LA! Aside from having a great history (serving as the site of Hollywood premiers), this movie theatre has a breathtakingly large screen and interesting mid-century architecture in the Cinerama Dome. The other screens are not as large and the path to get tickets and then get into the cinerama dome is rather confusing but the lovely bar, the frequent displays of original costumes from newly-released movies, the efficient parking lot and the nice book/gift shop makes this multiplex a favorite of my most discerning cinephile friends.

There is no other movie going experience in Hollywood quite like The Dome. It is a fascinating relic from a bygone era, where they pioneered something called Cinemascope, which involved running 3 movie projectors simultaneously. The Arclight always offers a great experience and being able to sit in this piece of history is the cherry on top! You have to try it at least once.

People who work at the theater make the experience more than just a movie. They care. I wish parking were less expensive. Between the theater and 24 hr fitness, it turns in to another $80 a month.

Big movie complex. Has restaurant / bar for before/after movies. Decent food for the rather high prices. Seats in the theatres are not as comfortable as one might expect at the premium prices charged at Arclight theaters. They are okay, just not great. Seats at AMC were more comfortable, bigger, and reclined much more. Ushers always make a welcome announcement before movie starts. Great sound system in theaters for movies like La La Land, which was phenomenal to see here. Lots of places to eat walking distance from here, too. Parking is $3 with validation in adjacent structure, or street parking if you can find it.

A Great Place to see a Movie! They have a Wonderful Coffee Bar now. Good Coffee, Great Prices!

I left the dome entertainment center I wish there was a way that it doesnt get that crowded on your way out and getting there other than that its awesome and very entertaining lots of places to hang around as well easy / access for Uber.
