 Early risers get $6 matinee before noon. Weekends mean that the movie has to compete with the interactive audience to be heard. Not to mention the serial texters. Service is lethargic and in of love.

Whitney Hu

Before noon prices are now $7 but still cheaper than everywhere else. The theater never fills up and you can always grab a good seat. Plus, the concession is usually cheaper by a buck or two.

Harlem’s Hungry

The photo booth is really cute for those quick date pics. The prices are insane be sure to have at least 60 bucks for you and your date or you'll starve. Atmosphere is kinda bleh thirsty men ????

Devonta

Go during off peak hours. It's quiet and enjoyable. The black history memorabilia in the lobby is inspiring.

Manzoor Elahi

This place is generally considerably cheaper. But the best part is it's generally mot very crowded . So you'll likely be able to get a seat even if you're late, and gonna have good place too.

I really enjoy seeing movies here and your staff are very nice and professional, but I often notice that the theaters and ladies room smell more than they used to. More care would make a difference.

I find the comments Hilarious. .well u get what u pay 4..If u guys are paying $6 for the movies ..shocker..step up cinema game up and go to the Dine in Theatres..now that's an experience!

Matinee shows are the best way to avoid the crowds. But there'll always be someone trying to get in the credits yelling at the movie . Take a seat.

If I was my girlfriend Rafaella I would avoid the snacks at the concession stand and bring some KFC fried chicken in the theater

Josue Soto

Nice big theatre just buy your tickets in advance there's always a long line at the ticket booth

ShyEats NYC

Get your tickets in advance or you will have to be on a very long line .

Dijon

Cheapest for good movie screens lots of shops around so you can get there early and have something to do

Colleen Stewart

Come before noon. $6 ticket, quiet crowd and the theaters/bathrooms are still clean .

Joe D

Plenty of mid-movie commentary from the entirety of the audience. Fun and festive !

Michael D

Movie theater smells weird, but the iconic black faces along the wall make for a good walk through. Comfy seats and food taste decent.

Gregory Rosario

Come here in the morning. Tickets are just 6 dollars. Is it quite and nice.

Kelsey Rodriguez

Go for the late show when no one's around! No lines . Just you and the screen! It's awesome. Even better for dates.

L. T.

Only movie theatre in upper manhattan but they only show certain movies - and gets others weeks after the release dates. It's only 4 blocks away but I rarely go :(

Gerald Rivera

AMC magic Johnson 9 is a little bit dirty but at least the popcorn is delicious

Gloria Collazo

This is a last resort of you wanna see a movie before noon on the weekend for $6. The staff are rude, the place is unruly, and it's apparent that it's okay to bring babies to R-rated movies .

Sabrina Wang

convenient neighborhood theater. clean and not crowded . right near Harlem 125th St

Sara ????⚔????

Really comfy seats . Clean and not usually very crowded .

Ethan

This is kind of the only major theater in the area, but people get loud in there. You can find in crowded screenings though.

For Eva And Eva

Came to watch a matinee. For whatever reason the theater opened at 10:15am for a 10:25am movie . Seats were kind of gross.

Roggy Rocksteady

Go on Saturday night to enjoy the extraordinary amount of dimes hanging out.

Zanalee Zee

I love the matinee shows and the matinee price ! Six bucks! ☺

The Corcoran Group

If you’re looking for a place to enjoy your movie without distraction, this isn’t it! Most patrons ignore the no cell phone and no talking rules.

Rozanne Els

Please do something about the volume control! It distorts completely because it's so loud .

Raymond Richardson

Try the bbq rib Empanadas n the 3 cheese mac n cheese ...yum!

Sailor

A lil hood but that never hurts...right

SASHA LOVE

This is a FAMILY THEATER, with very COMFORTABLE SEATS..

Monique NoneYa

Pretty cheap ($12.50) for a theater in the city ..

Napoleon Mills

Can't enjoy the movie because people are talking too much and cell phones sounding off .. This is B S...

Jen Krawczyk

Movie started a half hour late, no previews...then halfway through, screen went black. "Technical difficulties" and we got refunds instead of getting to see the rest of the movie .

Donnelle

Female bathroom was disgusting reported feces on toilet and floor before my 2hr movie started went back after the movie it was still there. Spoke with the manager I hope he got that cleaned up

Gerald Rivera

this is a awesome theater to go to the movie

Fly Lady Dii

Please hire someone to CLEAN....it is unnecessarily dirty . Always

Brian O'Donnell

Come early for the 1/2 price matinees and for no crowds.

Quincy Davis

$6 or bust, wort every penny.

Gary Vincent Lacinski

Omg what a trip! A lot of pre film drama oy

Jerk Johnson

Not the best theater, but it is pretty clean (depending on the day)

Antonio Martinez

Any showing before 12 is 6 bucks! Most the time they dont care about outside food

Corey Gillom

The expendables is kind of good...????

Matt Grosfeld

You'll never have trouble getting a seat. But that's probably because all the theaters smell like a wet dog.

One Punch Mario

It's ok. Has nothing on regal theatres or amc in Times Square as far as cleanliness and appearance

Paisley Kirkland

Rude employees, malfunctioning lights, extreme amount of talking in the theater and let's not get into the little boy kicking my moms seat the whole time! Just my experience though.

OD Ntuk

If you come before noon movies are half price $6.
