    I always take my kids to Tinseltown because it’s way cheaper than other theaters. The movies play great, the seats are comfortable, and the food is good. There’s also a small outside arcade, which is a nice bonus. I’ve never had any complaints about this place — it’s super affordable compared to others. Definitely our go-to movie spot

    The theater is very nice! I was excited to go but that was quickly changed when I sat down. I did see a kids movie but the children were better behaved than teenagers and adults. Growing up theaters had employees that would go into movies to make sure others weren’t being disturbed. I was sitting next to the rudest teenagers. Making TikTok’s, having pictures taken and talking. I had to move to a seat on the other side of those I was with because I couldn’t even hear. When I said something they all giggled and started all over again. I think I’d have given a 5 stars if I didn’t have the experience of rude people ruining the movie

    Worst experience ever we came to watch Avatar in 3d that was supposed to start at 10pm. Almost 50 minutes later after several complaints someone from the movie theater came to tell us that they were having issues with the movie and that they didn’t even know we were there! That we could go to another theater room to watch the movie but it wouldn’t start until 11:20. This is so irritating because they just didn’t care that our time was wasted! They need to do better!

    We've been going to this Cinemark for years! The seats are very comfortable! We like to order the snacks ahead of time and pick them up when we get there.
