Cinemark 16 – Gahanna

Like this theater! They have replaced the seats, new ones are great. Quick to get in and never a long wait in the concession lines.
I like buying my tickets at the kiosk in the theater and bypass the box office lines.
Cinematic 16 is my go to theater.
I stopped going to Easton AMC 30 — too much drama with the gang like teens acting up there requiring police on site.

The only movie theater I’ll go to in the Columbus area. It’s really cheap per ticket, like $ 4 – 6 and the food at the concession stand is cheaper here too. Of course I always sneak in snacks anyway, but the low cost is a definite pocket pleaser.

The box office line was quick. And the theater as a whole was nice. A great, no-​frills $ 5 matinée. The seats are comfortable, but could do with a bit more reclining in the front 4 rows. This is where you have to sit to see Star Wars at the moment.
The concession line was slow enough that they lost a seven dollar popcorn purchase because we couldn’t wait anymore before the movie started. Good for my wallet and my waste line. But a bit of a bummer not to have this movie experience staple.

Gahanna Cinemark 16 is a great budget friendly theater. No it doesn’t have fancy bells and whistles, but it does offer a clean theater with comfortable seating and HD screens at affordable prices

Cinemark 16 — Gahanna is a best kept secret in town that I’ve been keeping to myself for the last 12 years or so that I’ve lived here. Until now. It’s tucked inside the Stoneridge shopping center in Gahanna with plenty of food and shopping choices (Piada, Jimmy John’s, Cap City Diner) for before and after the show. What I enjoy about Cinemark 16 aside from its low prices is that it continues to evolve — even though it is, and always will, be a step down from Easton. But that’s perfectly fine with me. I just went to see «Black Mass» and was surprised to see that the theater now has leather stadium seat-​esque chairs. Regular prices have gone up a bit but they are $ 4.95 on Tuesday nights in addition to their low 1^st show of the day rate and discounted matinée pricing. You will shell out a good bit for concessions but they have to pay the bills somehow. You can usually catch all the major releases there without the crowds and the Easton later hours mayhem. The only perceived negative could be the bizarre interior design/​décor of the theater but the place is clean and easy — and usually cheap. Go.

I love this theater. No, it doesn’t have all the fancy stuff that say, Easton does — but I don’t want all those options all the time.
Tickets are cheap here. $ 5 on the regular and less than $ 10 for 3D.
They do have the arcade inside. Concession is on par with most… too pricey, as usual. LOL.
The people are nice here. The theater is always clean — no funny smells or sticky floors.
The best about it is that there is usually no insane crowds. Parking is easy. And it’s right around the corner from my house.
Love this place.

Cheap Tuesdays are amazing, $ 4.50 for a regular movie. I used to go to the AMC in Easton all the time, but I’ve been coming here for a while because it’s cheaper. I’ve been here 5 times this year, and only once was in a room where the chairs were uncomfortable. For some reason, the cup holders were more pushed in, and it made it difficult to sit comfortably if you have big hips because the cup holders were digging in. Other that instance, the seats have been comfortable and clean. It’s usually not very busy either, even on Tuesdays. The bathroom is a little rundown, and the décor is kind of old school, but in general it’s clean. The staff is always polite. Overall a good theater considering the price.

Never had a bad experience at this theater and I’ve been coming here for many many years.
To my knowledge they have the most reasonable prices around. My husband and I saw a movie in 3D for only $ 10.50 last week. They have $ 5.25 matinée and movies under $ 5 all day on either Tuesday or Thursday (can’t remember which).
It’s pretty clean for a movie theater. As in you don’t feel your shoes sticking to the floor or anything.
We had an issue once with a movie starting late they have everyone in the theater a free movie voucher for the next time. The customer service is good.
No fancy chairs or anything, but they’re not bad. Overall it’s a great theater and a great value.

I prefer to see my movies here than Easton. It is cheaper, less crowded and cleaner. They actually clean the theater between showings. Something Easton needs to take a lesson on. The staff is friendly and professional. The video and sound quality are always excellent.

Pretty much an average movie theater. Stopped in at Subway before going to see The Kingsmen, so I wasn’t able to get my hands on any popcorn (arguably the most important part of any movie-​going experience), but it was being popped both as we entered, and left the theater, so that’s a good sign I suppose.

They re did all the seats! I’ve been here since I was 8 and this is the first time I’ve seen major upgrades!

During the cold and snowy day of February, we jumped in the car and went out to see a movie (while all the lamers were hiding in their houses).
We Frequent Cinemark Rave Polaris theater quit a bit, but since we are up around the area so much. We decided to start going somewhere else more.
Why not! Cinema 16 may not have the New and Huge look of Rave Polaris location, but it is solid. Seats are fantastic, sound quality is great and it is clean!
I am glad that the box office outside was closed though and they just sold tickets inside! lol.
Speaking of tickets they are .50 cents cheaper than the rave polaris location during matinée times and much cheaper during peak hours.
Nice large parking lot in the Stonebridge plaza. I like going here to El’Vaquero next door.

My family and I braved the winter storm that hit our area and ventured out to this Cinema in order to see Hot Tub Time Machine 2.
The parking lot was much better than driving on the main road, and the sidewalks were completely cleaned off. If you have never been here, you have to walk through a small courtyard-​esque area in order to get to the box office and the theatre itself. this area has a partial roof to it. With the snow falling, it looked very majestic, seeing the snow fall in the areas with no roofing.
This location is very small, and a bit outdated, or so I thought. We rarely come here, rather opting to go to Rave in Polaris or even AMC in Easton. Since they were anticipating (and rightly so) a small crowd for the day, they put up signs at the box office to go in and purchase tickets at the concession stand. When you walk in, they have a small concession area. To the right, is a moderately sized arcade for a small entrance. We were able to get our tickets and concessions right away, then went to the theatre.
The walk to the theatre is littered with oversized signs promoting upcoming movies. These signs are a bit big to be placing in the hallways. Another thing I didn’t much care for was that it wasn’t easy to find the theatre we were in. The names of the showings were on lettering that you wound find on a restaurant sign outdoors. I don’t think the numbers of the theatres were prominent either.
We walked in and sat down, and OMG — the chairs are amazing! super comfortable to sit in with plenty of space. I’ll definitely be coming back to see other things just because of the chairs!

Not the best movie theatre. I came here a lot when I was younger, and now I still like this theatre. They had renovations a year or two ago and their new seats are AWFUL! I got really uncomfortable in one of those seats this past summer. Yes, the pricing is good for 7.00 on a film’s opening night — but I would MUCH rather go to Polaris to see my movies.

Well Cinemark 16 your location at Stoneridge is convenient, your abundance of cops to deal with what I’ve deemed to be loitering tweens and teens is interesting (not an atmosphere of fear), your décor of black tile and neon is a movie theater classic, and your more easily wiped down vinyl seats make me –a gal who hates gummy fabric– happy. My only question is, do you really get so many patrons that even your smaller theaters typicaly reserved for movies on the tail end of their run need be reminiscent of an airplane? Oh well, if and when a movie is good enough to mentally transport me some place else, I forget where I physically am as well. At the end of the day, I thank you for the clean floors and dependable good experience.

Cheaper then other places, which is a plus. I’ve had good and bad experiences. Once, while 8 months pregnant they refused to let me into a movie without ID even though my fiancé’ (28) and his sister (24) both carried IDs. (We had even already bought the tickets, it was the ticket check person who refused me) So I left to get mine from home and had them go ahead to start the movie. When I get back THEY DONT EVEN ASK TO SEE THE ID I DROVE ALL THE WAY HOME TO GET!!! Ugh. I was so upset. The floors are almost always dirty, but really, you can’t beat how cheap those tickets are compared to say, Easton or Polaris. Like I said, good and bad experiences. But over all-it’s a cheap date night choice for sure!

Yeah, their new chairs suck. My husband and I took the kids there last week and the new chairs are so much SMALLER!!! Seriously. Even if you are skinny, I could not image them to be comfortable.
I will NOT be back until they change their chairs back to the way they were.
**Hey CINEMARK 16 when you change your chairs back, hit me up!

They just added new seats and they are TERRIBLE! If you are any larger than a size 12, expect not to fit into them. This theater has become the stomping ground for rowdy and unsupervised tweens, not a nice or relaxing environment at all, will not be going back.

$ 7.50 for a first run movie in 3D. Yes, it’s matinée pricing, but also the cheapest ticket I remember in a while.
Comfy seats, ample parking (if difficult to find set back in stoneridge plaza), reasonably overpriced concessions.
Anything really I could want in a movie theatre, and since it’s one of five in the city playing the hobbit in HFR (no AMCs are playing it), has the technology as well.

Hey let’s party, let’s rock! We’ve got tickets to the Cinemark… along with me and front-​row Joe… Popcorn Penny — where’d she go?
The tacky neon purple and green color palette of this place was horrible when it opened in the mid 90’s, and kind of like that gallon of milk that’s been sitting next to the radiator for three weeks… it’s not getting any better with time.
But what’ll you find here? I’ll let you know — cheaper movies and an acceptable theatre going experience.
I’ve not had an issue with the theatre being sticky or unclean, personally… or broken chairs (any more than typical). All the theatres feature stadium seating and the chairs are comfy enough (though nowhere near as comfy as the Marcus at Crosswoods, my mecca of movie theatre seat comfort).
It’s a decent place to catch a film. If they still played that freakin’ awesome song at the beginning of their movies… I’d have given it an extra star just for that. RIP Popcorn Penny and Front-​Row Joe. RIP.
