I used to watch dramatic plays in this theater. It was a nice place where you can comfortably enjoy every scene portrayed by the actors and actresses. The area was spacious, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

The movie house is so attractive outside. I could say that it is well-structured and well-planned. Its a good place to enjoy a movie away from the crowds. Snack options are also available to satisfy you while watching movies. It is very clean, non-smelling and has comfortable chairs and great viewing experience. I highly recommend this place to all movie addicts.

I love CGV Cinemas Movie Theater because members gets points to use towards popcorn and free movies. The seats are comfortable and you can pick your seats before you go so its stress free.I dislike the uncomfortable monster sized 3D glasses they give you for their 3D movie showings. They are big, clunky and really uncomfortable.

Great theater with great service. Thanks to Danny from concessions who pulled us out of line and said Ill help you over here.The thing about the parking validation machine is its confusing and you can only stick your ticket in once; otherwise it will be voided. It turns red when you stick your ticket in; not an error, this means your ticket is validated.

I came here because of my favorite movie, and thankfully, this cinema house did not fail to provide me an excellent experience. The facilities are well-maintained, and the seats are very comfortable. These guys are certainly the best, and I would like to commend them for its amazing and tasty snacks too. Good job, everyone! Keep it up!

Obviously, the Manager of this movie house really keeps this place running in proper order. Its neat, clean, and the staff are very accommodating to the guest. I was even impressed with their comfort rooms, it was smell nice and also very clean. A good place to go if you want to watch movies with a not crowded place. Highly recommended!

This is where we had our first movie-date with my partner! It was very memorable. We love here since then. Every time we wanted to watch a movie, this is our go-to place. The cinema was clean and tidy, and their seats were customized and updated. Their surround sound was the best and we like the most here.

Had another amazing time at the CT but this time it was a wonderful show put on by none other than Peaches Christ and her gaggle of drag queens. One notable drag queen was none other than Bianca Del Rio, winner of RuPauls Drag Race Season 6.

I love this cinema house located in the heart of the city. They provide independent films, hard to find movies, and international ones, too. They have a clean, comfy living room and great seating. We watched here before and after purchasing our tickets, we bought our treats at their snack bar. Their popcorn is the best!

This theater is Solid. If you live in the area or not definitely roll thru! Latest released movies, comfortable big chairs, big screens & EVERYTHING IS CLEAN bathroom included. Very diverse & friendly people around. Even the subtitle movie previews look good enough to watch. Came here Sunday morning & the tickets were $11.00 & I think regular price is like $2 cheaper here. Great theater!

Nothing is what it seems at The CGV Cinemas Movie Theater. The dudes are chicks, the chicks are dudes, and there are half-naked...things walking out of the bathroom onto the stage.

I never never had so bad air circle experience in the any theater like here . To make pop corn they better installations for air circle system. At Robby of course and even when I watching the movie bad air come in the cinema room 1 I have to close my noses with my hand. Really really hard to breathe. Oh my God.

Review №23

I attended this movie theater due to the convenience of its location. The theatre serves pretty interesting food such as squid. Hot dogs were pretty cheap at $4 each. The lobby looks quite new and you choose seats when buying tickets. The theatre screen isnt as big as some other theaters but big enough. I would give this a 5 stars if the seats were reclining or the tickets werent $15.

This place was awesome! Very clean and young, friendly staff. Novelty Asian food and drink items and delicious gourmet popcorn! I enjoyed a leeche jelly drink and cheddar and caramel corn! If you dont mind subtitles, this is a great movie theater thats walkable if youre in Korea Town!

It’s a korean movie theater! If you want to watch a Korean movie that came out or watch your faborite movies with Korean subtitles, this is the place for you! The place is a bit pricey (16.50 I believe) but it’s the only place my Korean mother will watch movies with me so I go with it. Free parking with validation. They also have bomb bingsoo and ice cream downstairs that I HIGHLY recommend!

They show either Korean films with subtitles or American films with Korean subtitles. Even though I am not Korean the staff is always very welcoming and gracious. Theaters have comfortable stadium seating and great restaurants and dessert places in the complex and within walking distance. Validated parking but also Metro Purple Line convenient.

If you dont mind the Korean subtitles, this is a great and cozy theater. The reason for four stars is the parking. Just terrible, especially in the afternoon and night.

Review №31

Went to watch a korean movie “Champion” (with English subtitles) on 05.21.2018$13.25 adult ticket at 12.25 pm.Be careful with tickets they look just like recipes, so you won’t lose them.Seats are comfortable, but not reclining, the theater is medium size, I was in a G row and it was perfect. I wouldn’t go lower than E-row.Food and drinks quite expensive, which is pretty normal for movie theaters. Paid $3 for a bottle of water.

Small theater with 3 screens, comfortable seats and great quality sound. Full snack bar with all the good stuff like popcorn and candies. Tuesday are ticket specials. Co located with parking garage inside shopping mall. Plenty of amenities for a great date! Enjoy!

Very clean and spacious movie theater, just check before hand if they have the film you want. Also has a really futuristic 3 wall theater which has made watching movies immensely more entertaining.

Small theater that plays a limited amount of films- usually 1 or 2 big hollywood and 2 or 3 Korean films. The theater is very clean and never too packed, which I like! There are Korean subtitles on American films and vice versa. I give it 5 stars because of the snacks. The onion flavored popcorn is so good. I recommend getting a medium size and splitting it half half with onion and caramel flavors! If youre into Korean snacks, they have that too like dried squid.

Key place to watch Korean movies as they come out in Korea. Seats arent the most comfortable. Parking isnt super convenient as they share it with a busy supermarket.

Convenient parking with 4 hours of free validation with movie ticket. Great clean theater that shows Korean movies. Total of three screens show both Korean movies and top hits in the US. Premium seats are loveseats that CGV offers in Korea.

Well hello, you found this review and are wondering if this is theater for me. Well my dear readers rest assured that you would be able lucky yo experience a movie in this fine establishment. They enough have white castle burgers for your elevated needs. The employees are kind and respectful because they are well educated Asians who learned how to exercise manners. Just enjoy your time and buy some snack because to be honest its a stimulant for pleasure.Enjoy your movie.

I came once for a free movie promotion they had at the time for Hyundai Genesis owners and I was blown away by this theater! I absolutely loved it! I was thoroughly surprised at the cleanliness of this theater, not to mention the great and friendly service also! The movie we saw also included Screen X! Such a treat.I definitely cant wait to be back!

Im only giving my experience a 3/5 because they didnt have the blanket I wanted. I came here today for a Spiderman blanket that movie theaters tend to sell when Spiderman movies are in theatres, but they didnt have it. I was bummed out, but by being in the theatre I could tell that its good place to watch movies. The line was fast paced. The line on the left is for snacks while the line on the right is for movies tickets and snacks. The theatres are right where you enter through the door.The concession stand prices are a little high but Im pretty sure its worth the amount! They also had the trialer for: Far From Home playing which made me smile.

Review №50

This theater is always clean. Especially if you compare it to any other theater. Parking is validated. A majority of the films they play are Disney owned films and Korean ones from CJ (the theater is owned by them). Remember, I said majority, not all.Concession stand has a decent variety of snacks. Im not liking the nachos anymore. Their nacho cheese sauce doesnt taste as good as before.The only other thing I do not like, is that the padding in the seats are getting flat. Other than the last couple things, this is one of the better theaters to go see a movie at.

Great small movie theater. The popcorn is awesome. A lot of flavors and great choice of snacks. With a little bit more $$$ you can buy premium seats, which have extra space. Besides the korean subtitles, which I really dont mind its overall good experience.

Review №53

Knowing that I can watch and enjoy Korean movies is awesome! Despite being cute and clean interior design, one down side of this CGV is that it holds only three rooms. In addition, there are not much of showtime due to lack of rooms to showcase the more movies. They do however have discounts on every Tuesdays which the ticket price goes down to $8 (with membership is $7). And if you sign up to be a CGV member you can earn points and get free movie tickets and other perks (drinks, popcorns and other snacks for free!)

Review №73

It is a pretty small theater compare to AMC or Regal. The only reason this place can survive is they are offering Korean subtitles. Besides, there are some restaurants for Korean nearby and bookstore to spend your time while you are waiting your movie. Now let see the pros and cons of this placePros -1. you can choose your seat. It is one of the best pro bcz you have to see all the ads while you are waiting the movie.2. there is membership benefit. you can accumulate points for free movie or snacks. However, compare to other movie theater, this members advantage is almost disappointed. Perhaps if this can accumulate and use it in Korea as well, then it would be better. But for now, it doesnt work like that.3. they show up famous Korean movies. Thats why Korean customers come here.4. free parking!! In another place, parking is major concern unless you are willing to pay a lot. However, this place offers free parking for movie. I love it!!Cons - 1. the movie ticket is quite pricey than other place. The price of 2D is almost the price of 3D in some theater.2. almost no benefit for membership as I explained it beforeAll in all, it is a good place, but not a best place to watch a move.

CGV is an awesome theater to go watch movies. I have been going there since their grand opening and I have never been disappointed there.We needed a theater like this in our neighborhood. I have seen their concession stand grow from just selling popcorn and soda to a delicious array of popular theater snacks and yummy Korean snacks. There staff is always courteous and attentive. You have the feeling that they really care about their customers. I like the fact that they still do random surveys to get public input. I am hooked on the Mitsugaru drink from the Cafe located inside the theater. I sometimes drop in just for that. I also have my CGV membership card that gives you great perks and discount at the Cafe. CGV is my number 1 place to go to see movies. I am so proud to brag about having this great theater in my neighborhood.
