Accessibility: there are accessible parking spots across from the entrance, its all flat ground from the parking lot into the building, and everything inside the whole movie theater is flat ground or has ramps. They have larger, wheelchair accessible stalls and sinks inside the restrooms, and you can ask for closed captions or headphones for the movies.Experience: there are a lot of complaints from other people in reviews but sadly you cant please everyone. This movie theater is fine to me. We know movies are expensive these days, and if youre worried about that, dont buy extra things like popcorn and drinks. As for the heating/AC, you should ALWAYS bring a warm jacket if its cold, and simply take it off if you get hot. Be prepared for either condition. The employees here are nice, work quickly to help customers, and it is not crowded (even on a Saturday night). I do recommend this place. To me, the movie was a bit loud, but I brought earplugs so it cut some of the sound down.

I needed help with a Groupon and their machine didnt want to accept it then when I got help after waiting in a long food line they ended up charging me a fee. I spent in total the same amount with the Groupon that the movie would have cost without the coupon. Some deal.

Love this theater. Its a bit dated & lacks some of the flair and amenities of other theaters in SD county, but theyre a community fixture now, so bonus points on rating for that. It was at risk of closing down in spring of 2023 but the city rallied and folks showed out in record numbers. Eventually the announcement of closure was rescinded.Now North County Inland has a legit IMAX option. So glad to have a serviceable theater in the area!

Worst theater I’ve ever been to BY FAR. management is atrocious, and just by walking in that place you can tell the place is not a suitable work environment. From understaffed days to unsafe work conditions, I’m surprised OSHA hasn’t been called. The theaters themselves are riddled with hazards from broken seats and hand rails, to mold growing under AND ON the seats. The manager I spoke to, Veronica, was very condescending and rude. How she got a job as a manager of any establishment is beyond me. Seeing how she interacts with her staff had me feeling insulted and I would hate to work for her. This theater clearly needs to be updated or torn down, no in between. However, I did have several good interactions with a few staff which were Elijah, Juan, Chris, Nik. That is the only positive thing I have to say about this place. If I were you and you decided to read this while yap session, go to a different theater. Even the San Marcos theater would be miles better than this place.

Nice theater with a friendly staff! My wife and I have Regal Unlimited and go to this theater a lot. Would love to see them convert a theater to RPX and expand their IMAX to 70mm projection capabilities.Only off moment I can think of was when I redeemed a free small drink and the young gentleman accidentally filled up a larger drink size. He chuckled at his mistake, then took the drink to the sink and poured it into a smaller cup, and threw the used larger cup in the dumpster. Big time facepalm moment but he was trying to do the right thing.

Best Horse Experience ever, you get dipped in this fascinating world where you dont just learn about riding, but you also learn about history, how to evaluate horses, how to breed them, how to show them, how to lead them and train them and make money out of them, such a healing experience good for the mind, body and soul

Great visual and sound. Seats are really dated and SUPER uncomfortable. Venue needs to invest in new chairs. I will not go back there again. My back is hurting me today, the next day.

As far as movie theaters go, Regal Cinemas are always a good choice. They have clean facilities and plenty of showtime options for their films. I recently saw a movie in IMAX and the theater was perfectly sized. The seats in theater 1 were not recliner with leg rests, but were very comfortable and had a little bit of reclining capability. I would definitely continue to come here for a reliably good experience.

Beware-All employees are lazy and low IQ. No ac in theater, left the lights on during the movie, played the previews with sound only, no video. Most people walked out and got there money back. No response from management. This place will be closed down in a month.

LOVE THIS IMAX THEATER!!! Sound is even a bit too loud for the big epic films. I bring a bit of paper towel to put in my ears to take that edge off and protect them.

NO CLOSED CAPTION DEVICE AVAILABLE HERE!The worst experience I have ever had. You cant borrow the closed caption devices here because all the staffs are solely focused on selling popcorn. 🍿 I was told to wait for the manager, who never showed up before my movie started. I felt like a fool standing there for 30 minutes.

I am hard of hearing and so get closed caption glasses. The batteries ran out midway through the last two movies I went to see. Seats are comfortable. Big lobby. Helpful customer service.

Great theater in an awesome location. Lots of great selections for movies, snacks, and refreshments. Restrooms were clean. Staff friendly. Plenty of parking and nearby restaurants, shops, and cafes. Central location and easy to access.

Nice big theater but its going down hill in their cleanliness and service and prices are very high. Show up early to your movie as you will wait a while to buy tickets and snacks

2023-12-26 23:19:27

Theater and seats are dirty. Extremely long concession lines. Better get here 3 hours early if you want popcorn or drinks. Staffed by 16-19 year olds, even the managers. No idea how to run an effective business.

Clean and quiet and a nice movie selection. Friendly staff! Seats are hard and hurt my back…there was a decent snack bar with the typical astronomical prices. Very clean bathrooms and a nice quiet lobby and theaters. Easy parking!

Its a great theater, very clean and very rarely busy. Its also connected to a little candy store and a Cold Stone Creamery which is really convenient. It has the same little arcade as most Regal Cinemas. Not a ton of format options, I think its just standard and one Imax. Worth checking out if you live in Escondido!

Its a great theater, its clean, everyone is friendly, not too busy, except for big releases which makes the theater experience with others even better. Theres nothing much to say other than its an amazing local movie theater that looks even better at night. 🌌✨

This movie theater is clean, a lot of space, staff is friendly. There is a gaming section as well and a large concession stand. There are booster seats availible for your littles. Its has a steady flow of customers but never over crowded.

Classic and great place to catch a movie. They often have movies that you cant find at other theaters. Staff at the concessions have always been nice. Lots of parking and restaurants near by.

The cinema was nice, a lil pricey and the Imax seating was uncomfortable. For 22$ a ticket i expected it to be ALOT nicer. Otherwise great customer service, friendly staff and a hilarious movie!! I LOVE Deadpool!!

Went to go see Star Wars the rise of skywalker. One thing I did notice that we had to go inside to purchase our tickets at the concession stand which was new to me. But of course I havent been to the movies in a while, so I didnt know they did that which made the line go a lot slower because they were also serving the soft drinks and popcorn at the same time. So I let people go in front of me Since I had already purchased my ticket. So I got back in line to order something to eat before the movie started. So I wanted chicken sandwich meal which they had on their menu board, I was told that they did not serve hot meals because they were understaff and concession staff had to issue out movie tickets and this is why they could not serve hot meals. I was disappointed and left at the concessiont stand with just a Coke. If I would have known this was going on I would have or ate something before going into the movies lesson learned.

Sad to see the theatres all empty. But, who needs Hollywood when you got Newsom and COVID.Theater is almost back to normal. They still dont have the ticket people outside, you have to get it at the concession stand, so it backs up. They only open one side also. Im sure they arent at full staff, trying to earn some bucks. Make sure they dont give you the bottom of the popcorn, all small crumbs.

It was awful! Went to go watch the spider man movie, the AC was off for our room. Everyone including my son and I were baking good. Awful, who knows if it was intentional because the lobbys AC was sure working. My first time here and it will be my last time. In summer time and no AC that is ridiculous

Overall Id give them 4/5! I went to watch the nuclear bomb movie (not sure if I can say the title name); In my opinion the movie was a 6.5/10, but the theater overall was a 8/10! In case anyone was wondering: yes, they serve alcohol now! (I saw Coors light, bud light, truly hard seltzer, some kind of boxed wine drink, and also some type of small bottle of wine). The A/C was working in the theater I was at (theater #1 that had Imax), so I was nice and comfortable. Only complaint I have is that no one checked my ticket, so I feel like I kind of spent $25 online for the honor system. Aside from that, no problems at all!

We bought tickets ahead of time for a Friday night showing. Get there and the place is a mess. We try to get some candy and popcorn but were told they were out of candy. So we go and sit down in our seats and another couple comes up to us and says we are in their seats. We share tickets and confirmed we all had the same seats for the same movie. We all go chat to the manager about this while the movie is starting and she was very rude and just told one of us had to move seats, after confirming they double booked our seats. The movie was sold out so we ended up having to get a refund and just head home. Not trying to be a Karen or dramatic but it was a pretty rough experience and just a waste of our Friday night.

It took over 25 minutes to get to the front of the line in the hot lobby to learn there were no hotdogs, red vines or pretty much anything substantial enough to be considered a meal. Even popcorn required an additional 5 minutes of waiting. Worse, the volume was so loud I had to use noise cancelling headphones just to be able to endure the show. The imax screen was nice though.

Love it here. So clean and the people that work here are very nice. I wish more people still went to the movies. The experience of the big screen is much nicer than staying at home. There is also a new Chocolate Bash that opened up next to the theater. They have imported European chocolate desserts that are to die for. They gave me a 10% off discount and said they are giving it to all new customers. Yum!

Title: Unorganized Nightmare - One Star Review for Regal Movie Theater in EscondidoAs an avid moviegoer, I had the unfortunate experience of visiting the Regal Movie Theater in Escondido, and I must say it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. If I could give this place zero stars, I would. Allow me to share my nightmarish encounter at this establishment.First and foremost, the level of disorganization at this theater is mind-boggling. Upon arriving, I was greeted by an absurd sight - the front of the movie theater was closed for ticket purchases. Instead, customers were forced to queue up in endless concession lines just to get their tickets. What kind of business model is this? Its as if they want to discourage people from buying tickets altogether!To make matters worse, the concession stands were a nightmare of their own. Only two registers were open, and they seemed to open the second one only when the line extended nearly to the entrance. Are they trying to set a record for the slowest service ever? Its baffling that a major movie theater chain could operate in such a haphazard and disrespectful manner towards their paying customers.The real ordeal came when I decided to watch Oppenheimer in IMAX on opening night. The theater was clearly unprepared to handle the number of people attending. The lack of planning was evident as they blatantly refused to turn on the air conditioning, leaving the audience sweltering in discomfort. As a result, many patrons were compelled to abandon the screening halfway through the movie - a shameful situation for any theater to be in.In that sweltering environment, it felt less like a movie theater and more like a torturous sauna. People were desperately fanning themselves, and the overall experience was infuriating. Its unconscionable that a company like Regal would neglect the basic comfort of its customers, especially during a highly anticipated event like an IMAX screening.I am beyond disappointed in this Regal Movie Theater in Escondido, and I have vowed never to return. Fortunately, there is a more organized and customer-oriented Regal theater in San Marcos, where I will be taking my hard-earned money from now on. Escondidos Regal needs a serious wake-up call if they wish to remain in business and retain their clientele.In conclusion, avoid this theater at all costs. Save yourself the frustration and discomfort and seek out other movie-watching options. The experience at Regal Movie Theater in Escondido was nothing short of appalling, and I hope my review serves as a warning to others.

This is the closest theater to my residence and I’m happy about that. The theater has considerably comfy seats, decent pricing, and nice workers. Love going here for pretty much any new releases I’m interested in considering they usually have everything I want to watch.

Regal rewards keeps purging its member list thus removing all the accumulated points. This should be illegal.

Hey I like going on a Monday or Wednesday mid morning. Of course everything is cheaper, but the crowd is not in there yet. I get my bucket of popcorn and a drink, they sit back and enjoy the movie. But sometimes I refill the buck of popcorn for free, and take it home to munch on later. Theater butter popcorn is a treat for me.

Horrible experience. We spent extra money to see a movie in IMAX but it was so incredibly hot and uncomfortable. The seats are extremely outdated, there were little to no options for food/snacks/drinks, and the heat in the theatre was extremely unbearable. Worst experience I’ve ever had. I will not return here.

Barely functioning! Inside marquis showing what is playing in each theater is turned off. Tvs on the walls showing error messages. Concession stand was barely open. Sign says reduced menu, no kidding. No smell of fresh popcorn in the air. Popcorn I received was stale and obviously out of a bag. Fountain drink of Pepsi had no bubbles, flat as last weeks open 2 liter bottle. Slushy drink machine on and turning, but serving wet brown water. Nothing frozen coming out of that nightmare. Our theater was warm and stuffy before the movie started and freezing cold when the movie finished. The worse movie experience we have had ever. The city recently talked the owner into staying open after news of it closing was made public. Should have closed it!

Im giving it 1 star because it showed the movie for guardians of the galaxy was almost sold out. When we got in to the room it was empty. It showed that the seat I wanted to get was taken. Also there was hardly anybody in that showing and was a smaller room. I got med drink. And as far as I remember. They have refills. Last time I took my kids and got med drink and they refilled them. This time they said NO. That they werent refill. We only got the big popcorn refill. Dont waste your money on them

This theater has gone down little by little over the years.The displays that show the movie titles and times on each side of the lobby are not working, they are understaffed, the food is horrible. (I ordered a hot dog and it was gray, light brown and burnt brown...I asked for my money back and it was a fight) the food is way overpriced for what it is, and the worse part is the mens bathroom...it is ALWAYS filthy. Urine puddles at almost each urinal, there is almost always 1 or 2 urinals covered with a garbage bag because its not working and many times there is water from a toilet overflowing with the yellow caution sign there instead of just cleaning it up. I know this because Ill go to the mens room then go into a movie...and come out 2 hours later and the water is still there. Not a very good local theater.They collect the money and not care otherwise...Regal Escondido is very disappointing. The only reason I still go from time to time is because its the only theater local to me.

Just a truly awful experience, aside from the fact my chair was decrepit and about to fall apart at any moment, the heat from inside the theatre was downright unbearable and unforgiving as it was relentless. I was sweating from the moment the movie started until I finally left it. Will never go here ever again.

2023-07-22 17:11:56

This place is a complete train wreck. Attitude, service is non existant and the AC didnt work which no one informed us of prior. Trying to speak to a manager was less than an expected experience. Simple DO NOT go here. Pleanty of other local cinemas will welcome and appreciate your business.

2023-06-19 06:47:59

Went to an evening showing and the staff stopped selling food and drinks before the movie started and refused to even get us a cup of water. Meanwhile they sat around talking for the rest of the movie. The theatre was also very hot. Why show a movie at that time if they are going to completely shut down every service including the ac?

Review №58

Havent physically been to Regal in over two yrs thanks to Corona. Nobody is selling tickets at the booth. You have to buy tickets online and have one person pick them up or use the kiosk at the theater. Be aware that there is a $5 fee if you buy them on the Regal site

My first experience here and it seemed to be a nice theater. Entrance/ticket scanning was quick using the app, and I easily made my way into my theater for the film. I did not test out the concessions at all so can’t weigh in on that, although the lines looked long. There are neon lights in the entrance which gave me an old theater vibe, and I liked that. Will go back for future showings.

I recently attended a screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 at Regal Cinemas, and it was a major letdown. The movie screen was blank for 30 minutes, the staff was rude, and the audio kept cutting out. The lack of prompt action, disrespectful behavior, and poor technical maintenance left me deeply unsatisfied. I cannot recommend this theater based on my experience.

It was hot watching Sound of Freedom, but that is what they have been doing all over the country to get people not to watch it. The movie is excellently done, good actors, and not a cheap Christian movie.

Great, clean theaters. My only complaint is that I wish they would turn up the lights at the end of the show so I can see the steps a lot better. Remember us senior citizens dont see in the dark as well as we used to.

The movie experience was nice... Something weird happened when we were in the bathroom. My daughter saw two girls that were rinsing a knife and we were concerned since there was been a lot of violence out in this world lately,I decided to tell the worker that takes your ticket prior to enter to the hallway and she said, Ill tell my manager. My daughter and I didnt feel secured in there since there is no check up on people when you enter the theater,not to mention that there was no security guard on duty. More security needs to be enforced in there so this is one of the reasons why we wont visit it anymore.

I love the Regal Movies! Very relaxing and brings childhood memories to when I used to go to the movies when I was younger. Now I take my kids to the movies and they are creating memories of their own. It’s a cozy relaxing way to spend family quality time together with your family. My little family enjoy it so much 💭♥️

Crazy prices at the snack bar! Theatre runs a lot of commercials. Location is good, theatre is okay.Well the only thing that has changed is more commercials, to be exact 26 minutes.The person at the door was excellent! She came out to assist a disabled person into the car. I wish I would have gotten her name. Today is 7/7/22 and you just dont see that level of kindness at most businesses. This employee was awesome!

I prefer this theater to others in my area. Large parking lot. Its usually less crowded. Ive never seen a movie sell out there. They have nice seats and large auditoriums. The concessions are good like anywhere else. You pay through the nose for snacks. You have to buy your ticket outside. It has no shade while you wait to buy a ticket. So if its hot you are waiting in the hot sun. But usually not long.

I enjoy this theater. It has a lot of rooms with stadium seating & good ac. . Bathrooms are clean, W/many stalls.If you buy a large popcorn or drink you can get a free refill, which is nice for larger families, or a hungry person. You can also ask for your second free large popcorn at the same time as you buy the first one. We do it this way as my son is repulsed by butter, so he gets his own unbuttoned box and mine is super buttery! : ))This theater just went to assigned seating, which is a pain cause you chose what seats you want at the same time as you buy your tickets & it stalls the lines. Seats are blocked off when no one sits there. When I chose our seats, the ticket man showed me the diagram and he had the diagram wrong, so I ended up at the very bottom row staring straight up at the screen, my kids and I werent happy at all.The theatres that use the assigned seating generally also have lazy boys. If this theater had lazy boys, then Id understand,. But they dont. So I take 1 star off for the assigned seating..☆ Thank you for reading!

This theater is nice and clean and for the most part the workers are friendly. Only complaint is that the food is still outrageously priced but thats nothing new. Sneaking in outside food is still the way to go. Their discount Tuesdays were a good idea. Thats pretty much the only time I go see movies because its actually affordable.

Id never seen an Imax movie that I can remember so I bought 2 tickets. $48. Definitely not worth it. Not to the point the movie was 48 times better in Imax. Then the girl working at the snack bar is rude af. Pay $24 for popcorn, lemonade and an Icee. Girl slams it down on the counter without even making eye contact. No thank you, have a nice day, straws are over there. Nothing. Didnt even fill up my Icee all the way. I didnt want to deal with her again so I let it go. When I say again, I mean again. She did the same thing 2 weeks prior. I got a message from the Regal app asking about my experience. I mentioned that same girl. They gave me points and said theyd talk to her. If they did it just made her more miserable because shes only gotten more rude. Horrible customer service. If I could leave 0 ☆s I would.

Its a nice clean theater for what it is. Theres no recliner or assigned seating but the matinee shows are only $7ish so thats nice. The seats are comfortable and not like most regular movie seats. I really hope they switch out for recliners though because the regular price for tickets are about the same as other theaters... As you can tell, Im a movie theater seat snob🤷😆😎

Good selection of movie times, snacks are a bit expensive but all theaters are. The lobby and theaters could be cleaner. The carpet seems very old and needs replacement. It has stadium seats and IMAX/3D. The restrooms, although large, are always dirty. Overall a great place. Need to bring back do your own butter for popcorn. Some put too much, some not enough.

Pretty good spot. Like that the armrest on the chairs come up so you can snuggle with your significant other more easily while watching a flick. Chairs are comfy. Staff is manageable, or at least on par with other theaters. Like this one for the armrest reason tho. Recommend if youre a couple to check it out.

We went to see Star Wars right after it first came out. One of my kids fell ill as soon as we got to the theater. Ten minutes in, we had to leave the rest of the family, and I had to take her home. The manager very graciously gave us two courtesy passes so we could come back and see it when she was well, which we did. My nephew used to be one of the managers at this theater. I loved it then, and I love it still. Great popcorn, great staff, and great movies!

Watched Jumanji with the family. The theatre restrooms were clean even though it was busy. I have been told that its normally cold, but it was surprisingly perfectly warm temperature in the actual theatre. The floor was clean and well kept. It was a wonderful Christmas Day movie experience. Thank you!

This is my home theater. My daughter and I went today to see Beauty and the Beast. I always have the best experience when I go, however today made it that more amazing and I will always come back.I will leave out the graphic details but I had an incident with another patron in the theater before the movie started. I was so upset (visibly shaking) I immediately went to speak to management. I cut in line at the customer service and apologized, but none needed, the man working at the desk along with other movie goers noticed how upset I was and let me proceed. The employee got on his radio and called for assistance.A female employee came out immediately and I voiced my concerns to her. As I am doing so the movie goer which I had the incident with was seen leaving the movie theater, and I pointed him out.Even though the employees didnt speak to the other movie goer, my voice was heard and they were about to handle it if he didnt leave.To have my voice heard and to be able to calm down, to enjoy my date with my daughter means a lot. I am so thankful this is my home theater. I will always come back!

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!so I guess now they do the assigned seating so my boyfriend and I chose our seats and when we went into the movie theatre ( theatre room 15 to be exact )We opened the door and a HUGE smell of weed hit my face! The theatre smelled horrible! I let that go and went to our seats only to find TRASH ALL OVER!!Popcorn all over the bottom of our seats, nasty used tissue paper on our cup holders, used soda on the other cup holder and pop corn bucket on the seat next to us!! It was so gross ! The whole theatre was not cleaned and we were like 10 mins early to our movie (before commercials went on). The theatre SHOULD be cleaned out as soon as the previous movie is over!! It was so gross! I wish I could’ve taken photos because that was not alight! My boyfriend and I left because we legit couldn’t sit there and smelled disgusting &&&& we couldn’t switch seats because assigned seats!So we left to get a refund and it’s been more than 3 days and we still haven’t gotten our refund! They keep hanging up on us which is so unprofessional!!The guy who helped us was very nice which is why I didn’t go back to take a picture because I wanted to so badly just in case. But I thought no we’re fine. HORRIBLE MAKES ME NOT WANNA GO BACK!

I went and saw the new Spiderman movie on a whim because it was too hot to be at home or outside. What better way than to spend a few hours in a dark, cool heavily air conditioned environment surrounded by sound. Anyway, the ticket center line was a bit long, but soon after, another employee came and it went by quickly. I went in and snagged an empty L-size popcorn from the dustbin to use as my own for a refill. Those normally cost almost $10 which is more than the ticket - hard pass. So the concession girl kindly refilled it and I was on my way in. The previews took almost 30 min, but I had killed time beforehand so the wait wasnt bad. Overall, solid experience despite movie ticket prices rising and rising.

I place 2 stars because I have been only in this cinema 1 or 2 times . I dont remember exactly about my last visit there so . Staff members was good and friendly in my last visit . I did not order any food or snack so I cant describe nothing about it. Next time I got a chance I will pay more attention to details of course. This rating is not reflects completed my decisions about going there . Next time I will try to enjoy a bit more.

Not too small not too big. I tend to go more during the day than at night so its not bad crowded during the day if you want to just enjoy movie without a large crowd.

Its a good theater, the IMAX seating can be chosen. I recommend using fandango to get tickets, it makes your experience much better. Typical food prices at movie theaters and they are expanding their food choices like many theaters. Usually the amount of people coming here is less than other theaters so it is not as crowded if you go during the week or wait a week or two for a popular movie.

The theater is fine, clean enough, but I wish the staff was more proactive in making sure the customers experience is satisfactory. I just sat through a movie in a theater where people were taking flash pictures, talking on speakerphone, and theater hopping. Not one staffer came in to check on things. I know minimum wage is next to nothing, but can someone at least pretend to give a damn?

Nice theater very central to Escondido. Lots of food and snack choices. Multiple types of popcorn. Nachos, burgers, hot dogs. Tons of candy, both traditional candy offerings and big dispenser machines. Nice theaters with good standard stadium seating. I think this theater is 98% as good as the Mira Mesa theater, but way way less crowded.

Unfortunately I went to see Avengers in IMAX on opening weekend and was shocked to find an overly packed theater. I understand that movies are packed on opening weekend but unfortunately this was much more than that. To my understanding sites sold more seats than were available and had seats double booked and possible more meaning this theater was not only over capacity but many would not be seeing the movie they had paid for. This was unknown to many customers as no one was told at the entrance or ever, you found out by noticing your seat was taken by someone else who had the same ticket. Not only was this a major issue but many people waited 30-40 minutes and paid for food that was price hiked for a film they thought they would see. I was one of the more unfortunate and waited in line for 40 minutes before I had to walk to the front and ask the lady that was clearly as irritated as me if she had been helped and she replied with a clear no. Thats when I went to notify the customer service of this issue and found out all of the other unfortunate events happening. I wasted 2 1/3 hours to not see a movie and was more than upset for most of that time.

Recently purchased by a new company, the insides are being revamped and made beautiful. Lines for the snack bar are unmarked, so just stand behind people ordering. Keeps it simple. Chairs do recline, but are not sofa recliners like Regal 12 in Carlsbad. The most greeting/interaction youll have is with the ticket taker. Theatre has IMAX, IMAX 3D, Real 3D, and standard.

Even though the IMAX screen with the 3D was an amazing experience, I couldnt fully enjoy it because I spent 90% of the time moving around because of those uncomfortable seats. They creak, leaned back too much and were extremely uncomfortable. Especially for a 3 hour movie. For the price I paid I would have expected at least decent seats.

On June 20th 2019 my family and I came here to see Toy Story 4. I found it a little odd they only had 2 employees on the snack counter and semi long lines. Later finding out 2 people quit/walked out the same day. Once I got to the counter, the employee named Justice helped me out. Justice was very very polite, very professional, and extremely helpful. He helped me save a grip of money by recommending other options that I wasnt aware of. He definitely deserves an award for his customer service, and how he was handling being understaff that evening. When leaving, I stopped and talked to Mike I believe he was the supervisor on duty that night, Mike with the big beard... Mike was very very helpful and very professional as well. I also asked him about how to fill out a survey on my experience I had, and he directed me to the website where I can submit there. But these two were handling the situation of being short staffed very very well, and should be All-stars there at Regal. Keep up the great customer service, and the great leadership!

Not sure why they removed the single line queue dividers at ticket window and consession stand. This will only result in multiple lines with some moving slower than others. This will lead to customer frustration. Tonight the concession area was a mess. All but one napkin dispenser was empty. No salt, popcorn all over floor, the counters a mess. It wasnt terribly crowded so perhaps they had a sick call and couldnt keep up with clean up.

This is the second time Ive almost walked out of this theater because of how noisy and dirty it is. There has to be a better way to control the amount of talking going on during movies. Even when we complained nothing was done. This was even more disappointing considering the virus is still a thing and the theater was filthy, and people are jumping movies and sitting way too close to us

I really dislike that theyve started forcing you to choose your seats when you pay for your tickets. I dont go as much as before because of this. The theaters are so large and theres nothing special about the seats. It takes more time now because people have to choose a seat so wait time is longer in line. If youre meeting up with someone you can hardly go in ahead of time because they dont know where you sitting. If you dont like where youve picked you cant move because someone could have chosen those seats. If youre seating by talkers, rowdy kids, etc, you cant move. Please go back to the old way and let us go in and choose our seat. PLEASE!!

We go regularly go to the movies. Tonight was a very bad start, but fortunately ended as a high after watching the new mission impossible. The issue was getting service. I just wanted two small cokes. There were 5 members of staff of which only 1 was serving despite that there were 18 people waiting in the queue. The other 4 were: 2x sweeping the floor behind the counter. 1x wrapping hotdog which werent being ordered 1x person in the kitchen, just standing with a broom, doing nothing. The place was pretty dirty. I know its the customers making it dirty, but why have 2 people cleaning behind the counter, when on our side it was very dirty and 18 people waiting to be served. Anyhoo, as I said. The movie was pretty awesome and we did end up having a good night out again.

I am pregnant. I asked the guy checking guests in if it was okay to go to the restroom while my husband waits in line to purchase tickets. He didnt want to let me in but did. Told me to notify him when Im leaving. I get it dude, kids enter to watch movies illegaly but you cant assume so. It sets a bad impression to actual paying customers. On top of that dont be a douche bag to a pregnant lady.He freaked out when I showed him my belly and told him if I didnt have a fetus inside me kicking my bladder, I wouldnt be asking to go to the restroom. These places make so much money for running movies but will disrespect you to make sure you are not trying to get into a $10 movie for free. Where is customer service?Restrooms were just acceptable when it came to cleanliness. I did appreciate the lady who helped me by opening a door to the theatre room I needed to go into while holding popcorn and soda. She did it courteously and I think she was a customer. At least the customers in this place were nice.

The theater itself is fine as for services and amenities... but when it comes to the movie, must I really wait through TWENTY-FIVE MINUTES of ads and previews? And then when the movie started, it was SO LOUD that my five year old got scared and began to cry. So much for seeing a kids movie. We went out and asked for the volume to be turned down, and the manager said it is fixed, we cant do anything about it. I call bullshit on that... but whatever. Then she refused to refund money, gave us complimentary tickets for a return. Which I wont use any time soon. How can any theater like this compare with my sofa and big screen at home? Wont soon be returning.

The movie was great but there was a long line if you were purchasing outside and only one person helping so I thought that was really very poorly managed Also they dont tell you much about the kiosk inside that you can go and purchase your tickets from that kiosk so for those that do not have that knowledge they are still waiting in line I understand Tuesday they have a special maybe thats why theyre not too concerned about their customers on Tuesday Or maybe theyre not making enough money Who knows But I know next time if I see a long line like that Im going the other direction somewhere else I was going to buy that monthly deal that they have and it sounds like a good deal but if this is the way its going to be the long lines always I think Id rather not purchase ... Couple of words for those are in charge . . . we go to the movies so we can have a good time and enjoy each other and enjoy your movie not to stand in lines and get frustrated and and finally leave and never come back again so please if you can do something about it it would be much appreciated

Great theater with good sized screens and amazing sound systems. However what most people dont talk about is the fact that its the best place to go to catch a summer block buster or big time release and not have to deal with as much of the crowds and sell outs for each showing by the time you arrive to the theater. See, because its conveniently located in between Regal San Marcos, and Regal Mira Mesa, crowd traffic flows to those theaters for all living in the 78 quadrant, and anyone living off the 15 freeway respectfully. Leaving Escondido a fun and convenient place to see a movie without too much hassle. Dont get me wrong. They still get good business. Just a more pleasant experience for the customer all around.

The seats were very comfortable and it was easy to get in and out. Parking was easy too. The movie was ridiculously loud though. I covered my ears through a good portion of it.

This place is kind of run down. It was just built a couple years ago. I can understand you don’t go to the movies for the cleanliness of the carpet but there was intermittent hot pixel marring the 20 dollar movie I saw. There used to be three places to see a movie in this town and for some time there were no theaters so I’m going to keep coming here for fear of it closing but I’m going to lower my expectations stick to a standard showing.

Modern imax, stadium seating, over 10 current movies playing and very clean public bathrooms. They have healthy portions of fries and chicken. Free refills on popcorn and soda drinks. (Large sizes) great air conditioning.

Great place, love it. Great customer service. My family goes there as often as we can & all our friends & family love it as well. We have been going there since it opened. I know from personal experience that their employees & management really try hard to provide a great environment & are friendly & very helpful as well. Thank you for all you do.

We purchded tickets on the regal app for Detective Pikachu and the time was off. Our tickets were for 1130 and the movie actually started at 1045 so we missed the beginning. The manager was nice enough to give us passes for our next visit. Great customer service!

A nice, clean neighborhood movie theater with stadium seating and friendly staff showing first-run films. Whats not to like? And I just saw a notice posted there that theyve applied for a liquor license which I think means theyll soon have wine, too.

Awesome experience watching Free Guy!! Had the place to ourselves.4 stars for the sound quality which was overly loud and uncomfortable at times. Manager was kind enough to turn in down which helped!

Always super clean, lines move fast and the staff is friendly. This is my favorite local Regals that Ive been to. Go on Thursdays and get half off on popcorn with your Regals card :) Make sure you use it while buying your tickets or it wont be valid inside.

Damn, if it werent for the abysmal parking situation, wed go here more often. Pretty clean inside, sound & pic are always adjusted spot on. Be aware that on Thursdays there is a street fair (booths of various foods and chotchkies) right out across the street and going for several blocks. Parking will be even more difficult on those nights.

This is my go to theater. Not just because it is closer to my house. The screens are huge, sound system is awesome, seats are comfortable. Regal is generally a better experience than AMC. I just wish the concessions were cheaper, but thats a general problem in theater industry, not just Regal.

Fun theater with lots of food choices. Wish they would adopt the luxury recliner seats though! Also, they now have a subscription for tickets and you can go to see any movie at any time. Pretty cool option!

We love going to the movies. Usually once a week every since we retired. Within the last few months the company made a policy which takes the pictured line separators away. This causes so much angst among people waiting in line that it takes the pleasure of a movie out of the experience because inevitably someone says something to another person in line about their cutting in line or they were there first. So what you think about during the movie is how that could have been handled better or about how you hope you never have to deal with that again. When it happens more then once it’s time to make decisions about weather you want to go there anymore. Because going to the movies is supposed to be an escape NOT yet another way to see people miss behave. The solution is simple for the company to fix. PUT LANE DIVIDERS UP!

Although Im rather new to stateside movie theaters, I DO have a basis for my review.This theater is pretty much a standard for the average movie theater.Ive been to similar theaters and there are basic pros that are expected when it comes to service and amenities. Expect your colosseum-style bucket seating that are spacious and recline-able. There is the imax/3D option with necessary glasses. All meeting the experience of going to a standard theater.There is also a club that customers can join to become a member and gain rewards for multiple viewings over an extended period of time.The prices for food, candy and beverages were of the typical overpriced variety: $5 for bottled water and $9 for a (L)popcorn.One of the biggest cons for this establishment was its cleanliness (especially in the restroom). Perhaps if people would stop littering it wouldnt be so bad or they hire more cleaners.I did particularly like the ability to purchase my tickets in advance using the Fandango iPhone app; although their scanner was broken and I had to read my confirmation code aloud to the rep.Its your typical movie experience; nothing special.

I have been twice to this theater. Once to the regular theater and once to the IMAX. It is a very nice, clean and well run theater. There are not unusaully long lines at the snack bars and the orices fir sodas and popcorn are yt?hth within reason. Having so many theaters,16 and the Izmax, you really have a variety of movies to choose from that would suit any age range or style.8

Quick lines, kiosk inside to buy tickets as well, expensive iMax tickets (like $17.50 each) which is higher than some and (par for theatres) food about 4 x more expensive than anywhere else close by. Restrooms are clean and neat, they have a small arcade for the kids and plant of concession registers but sometimes they dont have enough people working and the food lines can get way too long. One plus is they have ice cream most of the time. The staff is friendly. There is a candy store right next door which only charges you double the going rate for candy but at least its some type of savings if you forgot to bring your own!

Seats were uncomfortable and worn out. Long lines at the concession area. Bathrooms were noisy with the hand blowers that didnt work very well and inconveniently placed. Eh. Probably head to San Marcos next time I want to spend too much to see a movie.

Kassandra and Briana were extremely rude . I asked for a Coke and there was an issue with their tap, which was not a big deal but Kassandra rudely and annoyingly stated, Nevermind they changdd their mind.. when I decided I did not want to get a drink since their sodas were unavailable. Their behaviors were completely unprofessional. Ive never been to a theater with such rude staff.

I worked here years ago. The theater is clean the snacks are over priced and its the only way the theater makes money.....cuz they aint profiting off the insanely high movie ticket prices. Cool cinema overall on the small side. Nothing fancy. Average theater near other ice cream shops and burger joints.

This is a bathroom review.Over the many years I have attended regal cinemas I have felt the need to use the bathroom almost every time I come. The facilities are satisfactory, I am unable to comment on the quality of the female bathrooms. one factor I dislike about the bathrooms is the black toilets, they are scary. You can never be completely sure of their cleanleness. Other than that I would recommend using the bathrooms at regal cinemas.

I was disappointed in the quality of the seats. The arm rests had broken down so much that there wasnt any padding left. Chairs needed to be cleaned too. They started playing the wrong movie until I went to go find someone to tell them to fix it. And I wonder why I didnt stay at home.

Love the movie theater, I come about once a week, or when theres a good movie for my two boys. You should definitely have a rewards card. Rack up enough points get a free popcorn or drink and up grade it for $1 to a medium and $2 for a large. Since i take my boys I always ask for the free refill so i dont have to interupt the movie.

This theater has stadium seating but other than that it isnt very updated. Also, if you have a problem the management team is not able to do anything to rectify the situation except give you a free movie pass. They will listen to your issue and then start off their reply with there is nothing I can say that will make you happy. If you go to the movie early in the day, expect to wait a long time for the concessions. Also expect a bag check upon entering the theater.

I dont care for this new system but I respect it. Considering its so hard to truely know what seats Im picking from the diagram that they currently use. (Could use updating)Whos betting on what happened that was so severe, the theater now makes you pick your seats at POS (point of sale) NOT The Other POS.My money is on damage control. With young frustrated punk/everyday kids defacing & destroying property. Its easy to conclude, they want someone to hold accountable. Thats my bet whats yours.

The best movie theater for 15 miles (Escondido, Rancho Bernardí, San Marcos). Larger theaters (16) including Imax 3D. Popcorn is tasty. Service is good w friendly throughout. Very clean everywhere including restrooms. Food selection is expanding. Comfortable seats and great sound. Love it.

I come here at least once a month, sometimes more frequently depending how many must see movies are out at the moment. Its located in a shopping center and is surrounded by smaller restaurants within walking distance. You get your choice of burgers, Mexican, Mediterranean, sushi, sandwiches, and ice cream.

Fine movie theater. Relatively comfortable, with the usual theater over-pricing on snacks and drinks. Decent location with a few places right in the same shopping center to get food, and not too far a walk to the downtown area if that interests you.

The Head Manager is horrible. She is mean and looks the part. I love the theather but she needs to go. She is rude and treats her employees with distaste, ask anyone in the town of Escondido. We all live here and have been experincing her poor attitude for a long time.. I hope Regal, investigates her.

The worst IMAX Ive been to. Not worth the extra cost for tickets at this location. Take a drive to the IRVINE SPECTRUM IMAX. That screen makes this LIEMAX look like a ghetto theatre.Stopped in here to watch a movie....never again. Sketchy parking too....lot of thugs and bums walking around at night.I would never spend my money at this low end IMAX again. The screen looks bigger at Cinepolis in Vista.*looking forward to your cut and paste response.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Husband and I went to movie on spur of the moment. We were cutting it close to movie time. Paid for tickets and sat down to watch movie. Next day I noticed my wallet was.missing. only place I had been was theatre. Went back there, talked to manager. She asked me to discribe wallet, went into office and returned with it and everything in it! It fell out of purse without my knowlege but honest workers returned it to office lost and found!

This theater is odd, its nice and big, but the seats are in bad shape, the sound quality is a bit poor for movies, and the bathrooms are the nastiest looking things ever (whomever decided black toilets and urinals were a good thing needs to leave.) But the staff are great, so there is that.

I am only rating the theater as your experience watching the movie may differ as it has happened to all of us. All around its a great place to watch movies, just have to make sure they keep it clean so it wont start looking old and out of touch.

At the end of the day, the MOST important thing about a movie theater is picture quality. I could overlook the completely unoriginal and unappetizing snack selection, the tiny, unclean chairs, the floor covered in strange coagulated substances, and the germ-filled air dryers in the bathroom...But FADED PICTURE?No. I pay to see a movie on the big screen precisely because itll look better there than on my laptop.This theater completely failed to meet that demand.

Dirty theater! There was popcorn all over the place near the concession stand, and not one person thought it might be a good idea to sweep it up so customers dont have to step all over it. Took about 15 minutes to get an overpriced small popcorn and coke even though there werent that many people in line. Chatty Cathys in the movie theater with no respect for anyone around them. Only came here because we had gift cards but thatll be the last time.

Went to this theater to see the 9:45pm showing of Aquaman on January 9th 2019. I had a small bag of candy from the 99 cent store from next door. The greeter at the front door was an older woman of color and before we exchanged any words or I even gave her my tickets she said You need to put that bag in your car in a very unpleasant tone and then as a form of proving her point she reached over to the people behind us to take there tickets instead. I was clearly upset about this and said You are being very rude that isnt how you are supposed to greet. (Mind you I have personally worked at regal cinemas for 2 years and this is not the standard protocol of how you handle a guest bringing in food.) After saying this to her she responded with Would you like to speak to my manager. In which I did and explained the situation. The manager said she would talk to her and asked if I would put the candy back in my car which I did. I am very upset about how I was treated and this honestly ruined this theater for me.

We went here to see the new Terminator movie before it finally left theaters. This theater really needs an overhaul with upgrades to be competitive with new theaters. This place is only good for the last chance to see movies that arent in other theaters anymore.

Hadnt been the any theater in years, but went here to see Barcelona, which was a Must see! for anyone. Yes, anyone. Thing is, the day we went, we arrived on time based on what we were told when we called. Unfortunately the movie had already been going about a half an hour when we arrive. That we hadnt been there, better than the adventure of it all, was that we didnt get to see the movie, we got free tickets to go back the next evening to see the movie. Is that super treatment, or what?

Regal is a nice & clean theater to go see a movie. The staff is friendly,the place is kept clean and the audio is good. The chairs recline slightly so you can stretch when you need to. Regal uses a regular style snak bar and not a table service style snak bar but it is still a nice venue and a great way to see movies at affordable prices.
