Cinemark Draper

I went to this cinemark in draper expecting to be impressed by theater as i thought this was a relatively new cinemark in town.
However i was left disappointed with ambience
For starters i felt that either the distance between screen and seats even those at back of the theater or the sound proofing inside the theater is bad because at the end of my movie i ended up with a headache.
I had a gift ticket so not sure of price but i heard it was high and comparable to megaplex theaters, if so then i would rather go to megaplex and have a better movie viewing experience than end up having a headache.
The ambience was not upto what i would expect considering what i have seen at cinemark 24 in jordan landing. It was dull and boring to say the least
The rest rooms were not clean either as was theater itself with popcorn lying all over the ground near where i sat.
The service appeared poor with the guy at the ticket counter especially seeming to be extremely disinterested in his job (maybe because it was sunday evening).
The good thing however was no lines and more importantly good parking space but again i went on a sunday so that does have to be taken into account.
The location is odd considering that it pretty much shares a parking lot with a hotel on one side and strip mall across a small road on the other.

3 stars. This may sound a bit harsh for a local theater, but I will explain why. There are so many amazing movie theaters in the salt lake and surrounding areas, that it becomes tough to give your business to a theater with high prices and lower quality.
The pros:
–There’s usually no long lines
–There’s always a fair amount of seats to choose from
–Most of their snacks they make fresh
–The cup holders/​arm rests move (you can move them if you would like to sit closer to your date).
–Ample parking space
–Large selection of movies and times
–They have Ice cream (8+ flavors)
–Arcade (it’s expensive)
The cons:
–The prices are equivalent to the large theaters here (same as the ones that have restaurants, VIP, Gaming, etc).
–I have never been here when they had fresh popcorn (it always tastes a few hours old)
–The bathrooms are never clean and I can’t count how many times I’ve ran out of paper!
–The movie chairs are uncomfortable (they are leather and hard)
–The service is awful (mostly younger kids that seem to dislike their jobs)
–The snacks/​drinks are insanely expensive (I paid $ 6.00 for a small fountain drink)
If this cinema re-​trained their staff, to ALWAYS put the customer first and learn to love their job… I feel like this would eliminate a good portion of the problem. A business can be expensive… but if they have good customer service: customers will keep coming back and stay loyal! I was a bit annoyed with the prices here this evening. I paid 10 $ per ticket, 6 $ for a small fountain drink and 5 $ for pretzel bitez. So, $ 31.00 for an evening movie (AT A SMALL LOCAL THEATER THAT HAS UNCOMFORTABLE SEATS). I do hope that some of these problems are fixed soon. This theater is the closest and most convenient location to my home. Overall I would not recommend to anyone. It will probably be a few months before I go back (in hopes that they improve).

I frequent this theater and wouldn’t hesitate to see any movie here. There are some theaters out there that I would see a comedy on but not a big budget film. I would be happy to see any move here. I admit, when there is a big time movie I find myself buying an IMAX ticket elsewhere. Outside of that, their XD theater is great and they keep their entire theater very nice. Their concessions are what you would expect at any theater. I don’t have anything above and beyond to say there.
Special pricing on Tuesdays is a big deal, I love that. I don’t think it’s on the menu but on Mondays if you have three of more people you get «family,» pricing which I think is matinée.
I’m not sure which days qualify but they also have Early Bird pricing for the first showing of a movie. I’m not 100% but that could be a on weekdays only. Or even Mon-​Thur only.

Great theater. Love the comfy leather seats they have. The screens are amazing and the sound is always excellent. One of the better theaters in the valley. Love their discounted prices on Tuesdays. Good place to watch a movie at.

Great seats, I really dont like other theaters because of this. This is extra roomy for large men such as myself and my family lol. Great sound, video, room temperature, food, ice cream, popcorn and staff. Highly recommend this theater especially on tuesday ($ 5) tickets. Never too full for early release Thursdays, Tuesdays and sundays.

A bunch of friends and I went here last Tuesday to take advantage of their discounted ticket pricing on Tuesdays. For $ 5 a ticket I re watched Big Hero 6 for the second time in a week. I love love love loveee this movie! This is the first theater I’ve been to since moving to utah and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! It’s not as big or grand as some of the movie theaters in CA but it was nice and clean. It’s not all about size. There’s a bathroom in each wing which is fine since each wing isn’t very big. The seats are awesome! I’ve never been to a theater with faux leather seats before. They were super comfy and luxurious feeling. I usually don’t buy snacks at the theater cause I’m Asian and cheap, but it looked like they had a nice selection. They even had hand scooped Dreyers ice cream! Never seen that at a theater before. There was only one worker there at the time so I can’t comment on customer service but hey, are you there for good service or to watch a movie? He got us out tickets — good enough for me!

We went to a matinée movie. The staff was courteous and the theater was clean. Our seats were near the back left. I was worried the view would be bad, but the seats were comfortable and I could see the screen just fine. Not a bad experience.

We just had a #Tugg screening here for our independent film, Pretty Rosebud (
). Sean and his staff went above and beyond to accommodate us and our needs! They gave us a larger theater when we needed more seats, they lent us their easel, they gave us easy access through the back for set up and take down, they helped us set up a welcoming/​check-​in table, they provided a gathering area for us to take pictures and hang out a little afterwards… the list goes on. As independent filmmakers, we’ve experienced the gamut of venues and treatment, and you guys are at the TOP!
The seats are extremely comfortable — the black leather reclining seats with substantial space. The sound system is EXCELLENT — our movie never sounded (or looked) so good! and my munchies were more than satisfied by the plethora of snacks, drinks and food available — I felt like I was in a gourmet store.
Thank you, Sean, and the Cinemark Draper for an amazing experience — we’ll be back again to watch movies — and not just the ones we make!

Meh, for a brand new movie theater this place just isn’t the place. Don’t get me wrong, yes you can go see a movie there and the seats are OK and the theater sells popcorn as it should but when you compare the competition in the area, something Cinemark executives should have done before they built this place, it’s just lacking on so many levels. From the one big line to get tickets to the other big line to get snacks or a drink to the final big line to get into the theater area it’s like they have decided not to evolve and are content with what the movie experience was like in the 90’s. If that is their strategy, when they are losing more and more money to home theater experience, then all I can say is good luck and place a bet on when this theater becomes another dollar theater that is completely forgotten about.

I really despise the new reserved seating concept that’s popping up at so many theaters nowadays (including this one). Call me crazy, but I like to choose my seat based on the other patrons in the theater (texting teens, talking old folks, dude wearing too much Axe body spray, etc.) and the size of the screen in proportion to the seats. All theaters are different so sometimes sitting in the back is too far back and sitting down front is too neck-​hurty.
This Cinemark has smaller auditoriums than most but the screen size, digital projection and sound system is good. The theaters have swanky black leather seats that look cool but you do end up with sweat butt by the time the movie is over. Nice stadium seating layout means you’ll have a good view of the screen.
They earn a bonus star for their amazing concessions! Every time I’ve been to this theater, even on slow weeknights or afternoons, the friendly employees always pop fresh popcorn (and wow, is it tasty)! Best of all, they have their own SELF SERVE BUTTER FLAVORED GREASE machines where you can load up your popcorn with all the oily deliciousness you desire! They have my favorite soda, Coke Zero, at the self-​serve fountain too.

Went to a 10:30am showing. Very clean, reserved seating and comfortable chairs. It was a very good theatre!!!
It will be my go to theatre now.

Ok place to watch a show. They need to turn up the volume

All their seats are LEATHER!!! And they actually recline. I love this theater because of these 2 facts. I feel so comfortable and that allows me to enjoy the movie even more.
That being said, their food prices are high (just like every other theater) so I just walk next door to in-​n-​out and get my feel before the movie. They also don’t have an IMAX but if you want to go to the IMAX just up the road is the Megaplex and they have a great IMAX, but no leather seats.

So let’s start with the obvious, there aren’t a lot of food choices. That being said it’s not that much less than your average theater. I mean, you have your basics. Concessions and ice cream. So, that is the only negative thing I have to say. Let’s move on to the rest!
The service is awesome, the staff is friendly and ready to help out and wait on you. They get tasks done {ie. getting you popcorn or ice cream} quickly.
The theaters themselves are nice, the pleather seats are great and are super comfortable. Plus they actually recline! Some chairs in movie theaters don’t and that can make for a long movie if you can’t bend backwards a little bit. The screens are nice and big and there is a good amount of leg room, not so squished!
Cleanlieness was pretty good, I’ve seen better but it was still pretty good.

The theaters are all very nice but almost always very dirty. The bathrooms are gross and usually out of paper towel/​tp. Food price is highway robbery…$ 9 for 2 ice cream bars. Doesn’t have IMAX.

Okay sure, there aren’t a TON of food choices and such but I’m going for the movie so I’m giving them four stars.
I love the pleather seats that rock. They’re comfortable and seem a lot easier to clean than the cloth seats of most theaters. And really, the theaters seem clean. I didn’t find stray popcorn or sticky floors anywhere which is really nice. I also enjoy the tiered seating so that I don’t have to worry about a tall person blocking my view (it happens a lot to me).
Staff seemed pretty nice and on top of things so when I’m in a hurry to get to my seats, that’s always a plus.
Cinemark Draper does $ 6 movies on Tuesdays as well. Hurray date night!

Personally, I love not having to drive to The District for a good movie theater experience anymore.
The staff is always extremely helpful here, and the prices are the same as any other Cinemark. The last movie we saw here, I ended up dropping my order of pretzel bites all over the floor and the ticket taker grabbed, his headset, said «bring over another order of pretzel bites,» and it was so. It was like magic.
I love the fancy pleathery seats. This theater is always very clean and very… classy? It’s just nice inside. And the bathrooms are clean too — booyah.
If you want lots of selection on refreshments, The District is far better (including the amazing Freestyle Coke machines!) But this is a good theater all in all, and very conveniently located, and usually not scary-​crowded.

Two and a half stars with benefit of the doubt = 3 stars.
I compare every theatre to The District’s awesome Megaplex — my benchmark for excellence in theatry. Yes, theatry.
The first thing you notice here is that Draper’s newest movie house is quite nicely appointed. Old Hollywood style furnishings make it feel just as a movie theatre should. Each showing-​room features tiered seating with reclining pleather seats, which is nice for those patrons concerned with whatever substances are left behind from the last occupant. More sanitary than cloth.
Yes, you can reserve your specific seat, either on the spot or online ahead of time. Ticket prices are the same as you’ll find at any other full-​price theatre.
And this is where the equality ends.
I have a few gripes… please, indulge me:
— Seating is TIGHT. Overall smaller seats offer much less leg room. Plan on having your seat kicked regularly from behind through no real fault of your neighbors. If you happen to be taller than 4′ 6″, and enjoy the upper center front row where you can normally recline and put your feet up on the railing, good luck. The railing is approximately 4 inches from your knees. It’s not possible to get comfortable this way here.
— Restrooms are sparce. There’s one per wing, pretty much. If you hold it too long, awaiting a lull in your movie — or God forbid, the end — you’d better hope you’re in a theatre close to one of their two (?) restrooms. And if there’s a line — and there’s always a line — keep your drink cup handy.
— Popcorn is subpar. In fact, their entire menu is subpar. There are so few choices for movie munchies here. And it’s every bit as pricey as the much better offerings at The District. Also, their popcorn «envelopes» are so flimsy I always feel like without the support of two-​handed carrying, I will surely drop and lose the entire thing.
— They employ eleven year olds. I’m sure they’re probably legal, but that’s what it seems. Due to lack of life experience, or improper training, these employees are not even capable of giving appropriate customer service. Our munchies check-​out boy attempted to upsell their current candy offer by asking, «Uh, you wanna get candy for two more dollars?» and pointed to the promo poster. Tempting. We went with no.
Our first visit to this theatre was gratis. Following visits have been because we have friends with free tickets to use. But for our money, we will always choose The District; even though Draper is more conveniently located.

It’s alright. In a world where movie theaters have all become supersized, it’s nice that this flick house hasn’t taken the already extreme to the extreme. While some theaters may soon feature spas, personal popcorn shoppers and cushioned beds instead of chairs, this newish theater in Draper isn’t going overboard.
I mean, it’s still nice. Those leathery pleathery seats were really quite comfy. And it’s a massive building, but it’s just there to be a move house. No restaurants, no sideshow. Just the main show. Big, stadium seating theaters with big crisp screens.
There are refreshments – a whole section of ‘em. Just mosy in, walk the gauntlet of sweet, salty, frozen (ice cream, Icees) and then pay at the end before you pop out at the main ticket-​taking checkpoint.
Parking is fine. You’ve got lots of lot out there. And ticket prices are par for the valley. It’s just a little tricky to get to. We tried to enter from State Street and ended up going all the way to 123^rd and then breaking the law in an illegal left to just get where we wanted to go. But once you’re there you’ve got a billion other shopping opportunities around if you’re interested.

This new «NEXTGEN» location is a bit out of the ordinary. With leather chairs, smaller venues, it makes for a unforgettable new movie experience. If you love watching movies in the comfort of your own home, then you’ll love this new «NEXTGEN» experience!
Don’t forget the popcorn, and goodies!
