Love the fact that you can sit in comfort. Chairs with foot stools , reclining in the 21 and over theaters. Where you can have food and drinks . It is nice to have a place you can take the kids put also a place to go as an adult without kids .
We saw American Sniper here last weekend since it wasn't playing at Living Room Theater in downtown Portland. Purchasing tickets online was easy and allowed us to skip the line, however, I prefer the seat selection option offered at Living Room Theater as you still have to line up in the hallway and make a made dash to secure desired seats.While the food and beverage prices are a little high, you at least don't have to settle for only popcorn, soda and candy. The food quality is pretty good and wine/beer selection is above average. The servers are very friendly and efficient and have amazing agility having to navigate around the footstools in the dark!Sound and viewing quality are fantastic as are the roomy and comfortable chairs with foot stools.One of the only downsides (in comparison to Living Room Theater), is that it is really massive and spread out making it difficult to make it to and from the restrooms quickly.
We have been here too many times to count and is the only place my wife and go now to see a movie.We have been in all the theaters and have enjoyed them all; each one offers you something for the mood you are in. The big thing here is comfort and comfort is just what you will find, put your feet up and enjoy. You can have a glass of wine or cold beer and something to eat brought to you right at your seat.The food is fine; remember you are at a movie and not a fine restaurant and when you think about what the servers have to go through they do a great job.Does this cost you a bit more, maybe? But I feel it is more than worth it.
Paid $15.00 each for movie tickets!!!!! and if that was not bad enough the seats nearly killed us.....oh sure at first they appeared nice. This was the smaller screens/rooms, I don't remember what they called it "Living Room or Parlor"??? lots of small seating a bit separated from other seats like love seats and as I said at first they looks comfortable and cozy, NOT.....the seat was anything but comfortable as it went down in the middle, kind of like a bad over worn bed. By the end of the movie, which could not happen soon enough, our backs were killing us. This was in June 2014 and I've not been back to this theater and really don't think I ever will because you don't know if you will get this awful room as when we purchased the tickets we were not told the movie was in this "special" room.....
We really like Cinetopia theaters, and go to this location primarily due to the 21+ Living Room showings. The seats are uber comfy; they wait on you in the theater; you can order an adult beverage (if you're so inclined); and no screaming mee-mee's.... (I love kids - don't get me wrong - but there's a time & place, ya know?!?) The screens are huge and the sound is good too. They offer 3D showings too. The food served is a good selection, but a bit pricey - which is typical for the movies nowadays. So, if you're bringing a "hot date", bring some extra spending $$ for popcorn. The movie parlor theaters are "cozy", but I don't find the seating comfortable nor user-friendly. BUT, if you've got a couples night planned and you want to cuddle, that's the place for you.
We enjoy the cinema location. With the many different styles of venues, you can enjoy many different types of settings. Living Room. (Small
Large screens and comfy seats give a plush feel to the cinema experience in this multiplex. This edition of the Cinetopia chain is tucked away above the Progress Ridge shopping center, which may be hard to find for those unfamiliar with the neighborhood.The refreshment stand boasts multi-flavored popcorn varieties, and an adjacent coffee shop provides food options apart from your conventional theater snacks. The seats vary in quality from conventional to ultra-deluxe (complete with wooden detachable food-tray), depending on what theater you choose. The screens in some of the auditoriums are some of the biggest around, reflecting the latest in digital projection technology.But, all this high-tech opulence makes an evening at Cinetopia more expensive than going to the movies just about anywhere else around Portland -- except at the Cinetopia in neighboring Vancouver, WA. Best advice: try it once, and make up your mind if it's worth the investment.
Everything about Cinetopia is a prime experience. The theaters are extremely comfortable from the Living Room theater to the Grand Auditorium. They use high quality digital sound systems that allows the decibel level to be reduced. Yet you can still hear every bit of dialog and eery creaking sound. Yes the price is slightly higher then other theater chains, but the GXL is usually cheaper. Bad parts: Rules on which theaters you can drink in are confusing. The food could be even better. Right now it's slightly better then a chain restaurant, but I think they could easily up their game even more.
It's just a theater, folks. And if the idea of dinner delivered to your seat sounds appealing (it did to me), remember that it's dark in a theater. I prefer to be able to see my plate and my fork. I also prefer to see my movie, which is more difficult when eating. Yes, the chairs are comfy, but made for relaxing, not for eating. I guess if you're used to eating on the sofa while streaming Netlix in the dark you'll be kind of excited to be able to do it at the big screen.
The good...Good food, spacious, and cleanThe bad...Over priced food $50 for 2 burgers and fries and 2 drinks.Mediocre serviceThe ugly.... The first three visits we had issues, one "the lion king" they sent half of the people (our group included) to the wrong theater and they didn't notice till 10 minutes into the lion king. So we missed the beginning. They offered nothing for the trouble, we had to complain to management who replaced out tickets. When we tried to use the replacement tickets they weren't for the grand XL which we paid for and had to complaint again. -.-
