  I’ve been here twice now, once for Harry Potter and and again for IT. Both experiences were the same, easy entry, easy parking, free validation (free EV charging too) easy to find seats. The best thing I’ve experienced both times is how friendly the staff is. Not just your server but the ushers, the cleaners, and the servers. Every single staff member i happened to interact with was very friendly and professional. The cons: -it’s a little over priced. Harry Potter was $50, and IT was $75 (both in the same couch area) -The seats are not that comfortable it’s very bland couch. -the food is a little pricey but you know what it is and you decide if you wanna buy the wings were pretty good. -I wouldn’t say it’s very immersive, the extended screen is more like a static background with a few moments of movement. I’d return for another good movie but maybe I’d like to watch sports game to REALLY appreciate that giant screen , perhaps movies are the secondary thing that’s good here. I will definitely come back

  ​I recently visited Cosm Los Angeles with high expectations for an immersive experience, but the overall visit fell well short of the price tag. ​​Arrival & Security: The arrival process sets an uncomfortable tone immediately. Having security perform an aggressive pat-down makes you feel treated more like a criminal than a paying guest entering an entertainment venue. The Screen & Viewing Experience: The main draw here is supposed to be the technology, but it was largely unimpressive. The content plays on a standard-sized screen in the center while the surrounding 360-degree dome is filled with plain, static black background video. There were no surprising or dynamic visual elements to justify the "immersive" label. It felt no different than a standard movie theater setup, just with a lot of dead space around the main frame. ​ Seating & Comfort: For a venue built around long format viewing and events, the seating is surprisingly uncomfortable. It makes sitting through a full feature or event a chore rather than a relaxed experience. ​ Food & Beverages: The concession and bar prices are steep for what you receive. I paid $22.50 for a Paloma that was extremely weak, and the food options are both overpriced and significantly overrated in quality. ​ Verdict: Cosm heavily markets an innovative visual experience, but the execution feels flat and lacks excitement. When paired with uncomfortable seating and excessive food and drink pricing, it's hard to recommend. Save your money and stick to a traditional high-end theater or IMAX.

  I read the reviews and saw the great, the bad and the ugly. I have very high expectations and I can honestly say that they have worked out all of the kinks that I read about. Flawless execution of order taking for both food and drinks. The immersive experience of the Dome is amazingly captivating! Our server Molina was very attentive. We sat in box seats so the view was the absolute best. The kitchen crew… hats off on everything that you cooked. The pizza and smash burgers had my crew craving for the next visit! Lastly, the bar tenders were phenomenal! The owner listened to the feedback and responded!!! Great work COSM Atl!!!

  Cosm had great customer service from the time I entered the door, to my waitress. The experience itself in a half dome was spectacular and please note I watched Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone (Philosophers Stone for my UK readers). The animations on the half dome were incredible and immersive. Felt like I was participating in the movie myself. Now I had the wagyu steak burger side of fries, coca cola and some ice cream cause I didn't have any dinner. The downside of this was that there were a lot of fries I couldn't finish, and I was given the ice cream way to early in the meal, that it melted quite rapidly. I do recommend the third floor seating since it's more center towards the screen. Please note these seats were a bit pricey but worth it. The only thing I do say they were sofas but non reclining which was kind of a let down for longer movies. In cosm there are dining tables, sofas and booths choose which one you prefer the best my dear viewer. However this I do have to say the movie and animation I watched today made me feel I was 10 again watching Harry Potter once again that it beat any uncomfortable sentiment I previously stated before. Also please note my dear ladies get to the bathroom quickly lines do form. Also make sure to park in parking garage 3 so that way Cosm can validate your parking up to 4 hours. Overall 4 out of 5 stars. Thank You Cosm for your great customer service.

  I won't deny that some of the experience was delightful and even a little breathtaking. But... We went to see Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, and it was fun. However, I was a bit sad to see that the "shared reality" was still framing the movie in a rectangular window, which actually used only a small fraction of the curved screen. Some of the environments were nicely immersive. Action sequences were actually enhanced, especially when objects and characters moved seamlessly in and out of the central frame - and yet there were a lot of scenes where this effect should have been used, but it wasn't. Then there was the perspective. Sometimes the outer scenery matched nicely, but other times it actually clashed with the settings. I felt well immersed in the Quiddich match, the Dark Forest, and the chess game, but watching a scene in the Great Hall, Common Room, or even Hagrid's hut where the surrounding scenery reflected the opposite point of view was a bit disorienting. I didn't even know what to think when I saw the Mirror of Erised in two places. All of that together was still a fun experience. However, the off-screen distractions were harder. I'm used to seeing people pull out their screens at a regular movie theater. Here, I saw several filming for extended periods. Okay, it's a pretty cool screen, so even that I can deal with. But one guest in particular must have filmed nearly all of the first half. And this was done very conspicuously. A dim screen held low would have been a minor issue. This person kept the screen overly bright, which was very glaring in the darker scenes. And they sometimes held their phone so high that even from two rows below me it still obstructed my view. Gladly, this mostly subsided in the latter half of the film and I was able to resume enjoying myself. The worst part was how this issue was managed. When I had a chance, I pointed out the distraction to a server and asked if someone could deal with it. The server indicated that this was allowed if an influencer was filming to create publicity for the theater, but that they would check with the manager anyway. Upon returning, I was told that it's only a problem if the guest's phone is blocking the screen. I affirmed that this was indeed the case, and was answered with another "I will check." We were actually offered a seat change to a higher level, but that was a clear downgrade so I said that I would attempt to "deal with it." Maybe it was because of my last words to the server, but the promised check never happened. I watched any time a staff member crossed by (another frequent distraction, but knowing this was a full-service venue we already expected that). It was pretty obvious that none of them addressed the guest. My only conclusion is that the management is too scared to confront people. Maybe they passed the buck a few times to young employees whose pay grade is likely too low to deal with confrontation without needing to book a therapy session. And here's the ultimate payoff. The disturber left quickly and I thought I would never see them again. But out of sheer dumb luck, they crossed my path after exiting a restroom. I had to think quickly, so I blurted out, "Excuse me, are you a content creator?" The answer was "no." My suspicion confirmed, I suppressed any anger to try to follow up as nicely as possible, even thought they were noticeably accelerating. I called out, "then if you're going to film half the movie, could you at least not wave your bright screen around? Not trying to be mean, but it's very distracting." I got a flippant "mind your business." All I could only reply was "this IS my business." By then I was already ending my pursuit, so I let them go with what sounded like another "mind your business." They clearly had nothing better to say, so at least I got to speak my piece. So, to sum it up: Come for what is definitely a unique experience, but don't expect to be completely blown away by it. Also, don't expect the management to have the backbone to help you out if anyone dampens your experience.
