Consolidated Theatres Ka’ahumanu

So, I keep seeing people complain about the seating but I thought it was great. Paid for assigned seats online for me and the kids, used the kiosk inside the theatre as soon as you walk in to the right to redeem tickets and we were good to go. No worrying about finding a spot to sit together, and although the seats don’t recline they are rather large and comfy. You don’t feel on top of each other. It is inside a mall and upstairs, just an FYI. We enjoyed it, very relaxing night out with the kids

Located upstairs in the mall. It’s a tiny theater. The moms wanted to go on Mother’s Day, but turns out everyone was thinking the same thing. They only had two showings & were sold out.
We came back a couple days later during the day (matinée) $ 9.50 Woooo! Same price for the seniors. I also got some nachos which were about $ 6+ with a water. The popcorn looked good but I couldn’t smell it so opted for nachos instead. I think it’s $ 1.50 for extra nacho cheese but he hooked up.
We did get to choose our own seats, which was pretty fancy. They were really comfortable with plenty of leg room. Although no one else showed up in our row lol!
All and all good theater. Only two people working that afternoon. One getting the ticket & one in the concession stand. Moms were happy so I was happy!

This is the theater upstairs at Queen K mall. It is a good movie theater option for Maui. You can’t expect the recliner seats or living room layout here on Maui.
But this theater has new leather seats that are comfortable. I do wish there was a bit more elevation to the seat lay out. They have nice, cold air conditioning which is so awesome in the summer months especially.
The concessions is pretty standard, nothing fancy. Just your typical popcorn, candy, soda, etc.
Also you choose your seats when you buy tickets, so it helps to buy earlier in the day to have a good pick. And at times you’ll have to ask people to move out of your seats… can’t blame ‘em for tryin’.
They only run 6 movies at a time. I do wish they could show more movies. Usually on Maui you only have one theater option for the movie you want to see. So even if I would rather come here, I just can’t obviously if the movie is only showing at a different theater.

At the consolidated theater to see dead pool the 11:10 movie — feb 15 2016
I went to concession stand and used my extra card and gave my cell number. It showed invalid so I said to use my other number (home number) and he said
Sorry I can’t cause there’s a line (like 4 people) behind you and just ignored me and moved on the next customer.
That guy was rude and just did not care about customer service and no respect was given to me.
He should be reprimanded and written up.
He is an embarrassment to a great establishment.

Yes, they have new seating… but like everyone else says, they don’t recline so you sit up right. The movie screen was pretty small for the size of the theater. Reserved seating is cool if you purchase in advance, if not you are waiting in a really long line with one cashier while each person has to pick out their seat, they really should have more cashiers.

Well I like the place but the new seats are very uncomfortable you sit so upright there’s no reclining at all

Wonderful new seats-​huge and comfortable. We could definitely do without the assigned seating (many people just ignore it and sit where they want-​causing some confusion).
The snacks area could definitely have more choices-​what theater doesn’t have licorice? The candy selection is woefully small.
The people that work here are generally helpful-​especially when trying to figure out the ticket machines.
Mostly I’m grateful for the new seats and that they’ve turned down the HVAC-​last summer the kids were freezing and wished we had brought a blanket!

OK! Their seats are really nice. And I don’t mind the reserved seating. But their price increase is ridiculous! Just this year I hit the age to get the senior discount. So what do they do? Raise the senior price to 9.75. I’ve averaged nearly 1 movie a week for the last 20 years. I will give the Movies at the Maui Mall first preference from now on. I will REALLY have to be stoked to see a movie playing at the Kaahumanu theaters to go there from now on. I’m not saying I will never go there again, but it will be much less frequently. And to be honest I’ve always preferred the theaters at the Maui Mall anyway, and now they are much cheaper.

Assigned seats??? After paying over $ 20 for two ppl to watch a movie that’s insane. My two year old didn’t enjoy it

Ever since they upgraded their seats i love watching movies at this theatre. The assigned seats are ridiculous to me, i get what they’re trying to do but im sorry some ppl dont even follow, they sit where they like.
Im just sad that the movie tickets & snacks are really pricey.

There’s really nice new seating in the Queen K theater. It’s now assigned seating which is kinda nice and kinda lame. People kept arriving late and finding other people sitting in their seats so there was a bit of shuffling around at the start of the movie. But the sound and picture quality were great.
I have to say though, that paying eight dollars for an Icee is a bit much. Eight dollars? It’s ice and flavoring. I wouldn’t pay that much but my teenager did.
Overall a pretty good experience. And just to throw this out there: «inside out» might be the cutest movie ever made. :)

Brand new comfy looking seats. THEY ARE NOT!!! I was miserable the whole movie and now have a stiff neck and headache. Don’t they try them out before they buy them. Won’t be going back…

What a bummer!!!
Consolidated Theatres who own the Kaahumanu 6 Theatre has recently increased there ticket price for adults to $ 11.50, which is almost a dollar more than Regal Cinemas. With this increase in ticket price they have also taken away the ability of the customers to walk into the theatre their movie is playing, and make a seat selection based on what looks to be an appropriate seat for them. Now customers have to chose a seat when they purchase their tickets in the same way airlines have passengers select seats, on a computer screen.
Taking away the ability for my family to choose the appropriate seats for us once we’re in the theatre is a deal breaker for us. From now on we’ll only be customers at Regal Cinemas, and the money we would have spent at Kaahumanu 6 will be put into a special jar, and once it gets to a few hundred dollars we’re going to purchase a home projector for our movie viewing.
I strongly suggest not supporting this theatre while this forced seating policy is in place.

We popped in yesterday for Jurassic World 3D.
We used the sole ATM ticket dispenser inside the doors as there was a long line waiting for the ticket counter. There were only 2 poor seats left which we took and made our way inside. Oddly the theatre was pretty empty with only about a dozen people in seats. By the time the movie started there were plenty of seats still available but tickets are sold by seat number and they made a point of telling us which seat to take when they handed out the filthy and scratched 3D glasses.
The theatre itself looks like it was recently renovated with very comfortable chairs and new carpeting. The screen in our theatre was rather small but the quality of the picture was good.
Compared to the other theatres we’ve been to in Maui this ones is a winner and we will be back… Just not a 3D flick.

Wow, what a craphole! This theater is like traveling through time and space to 20 years ago to the rough part of the town where I grew up. The screens and theaters are small, old and dirty, and smell like a disgusting bathroom. This is particularly odd because the bathrooms were really clean and did not smell like a disgusting bathroom.

They’ve remolded and I must say… I was very pleased to see new flooring and larger more comfortable seats.

We stopped here last minute and were really happy we did. It looks like they may be slowly renovating the theater. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. The seats in the theater were brand new and it was luxurious! The carpet looked new too. The walls had carpet Falling off outside of the theater but it looked like they were changing it. Really happy we stopped by.

It’s absolutely astounding that the theaters at Kaahumanu have not received a major overhaul since the expansion of Kaahumanu Center back… oh gawd, that was a long time ago! The Consolidated Amusement theaters at the mall do not do much to make for an exhilarating movie experience. Not that the number of screens really does much for an individual movie experience, but this establishment is a remnant of the time before megaplexes. You will find an ordinary slope in the auditoriums meaning that if you are short, you may find your view of the screen obstructed by head of the person sitting in front of you. Long short for this theater is that it’s a mediocre viewing experience at best. Ordinary chairs and open seating. Limited selecting of concessions with no table service. And now I feel mean.

The floors are sticky, the seats pretty gross, I don’t think the carpets have been cleaned in 5 years and more than once I’ve sat down to find the seat I’ve chosen to be broken.
It’s hopeless. There are no nice theaters on Maui. If you want to see a movie, stay home and watch NetFlix.

Smallest screen I’ve seen yet. I’ve been to dollar theaters with larger screens. And it cost $ 10. But in the end it got the job done so it’s not a total loss.

It’s not that this is a horrible theater or that it’s falling apart or the carpet smells, it’s just that with most theaters these days built like sport stadiums, the smaller, highly used, older theaters seem not too great in comparison. And I won’t dwell on the cleanliness or lack thereof…
As with any theater these days, you have to mortgage your house before hitting the concession stands, but if you get the large drink or popcorn it comes with free refills (If you want to leave your movie to go down and get a refill).
Yep, Hubster and I saw Guardians of the Galaxy (our first movie for the year in a theatre) here. Awesome movie! Wednesday matinée $ 8.

This theater was terrible!
They have made some changes.
(They must be reading the complaints. So thank you management for addressing the issues.)
— These are the things I noticed they changed.
They installed new carpet and replaced seats, adding distance between seats and the rows. I am pleased.
((Old post below))
(The lobby is nice, but the seating is the worst on island.
If you’re over 5’11″ forget about comfort.
The seats look like puke, the cushion is nonexistent, the auditorium smells like a locker room full of socks and if you’re over 5’11″ tall — you will be crammed against the seat in front of you.
I stopped watching movies at this theater.
Maui mall is the best place on island to see movies go there until this theater refurbishes their seats.)

This is central Maui’s very first multi-​plex which opened around 1995 when the mall was renovated, and is currently managed by Consolidated Theaters.
THEATERS:
6 rooms pretty much with all the same capacity, non-​stadium seating, with fixed single chairs and cup holders. Sound system is pretty good. Some rooms are in worse shape than others (broken chairs, musty smell, etc.) There’s supposed to be a renovation done sometime in 2013 or 2014.
FOOD:
Pricey as in most places, and with very standard fare like nachos with a boring cheese sauce only, hot dog (actually pretty good) and popcorn (very tasty), ice malt cups, and candies.
SERVICE:
Not the greatest and most friendly but I don’t expect much in a theater of this caliber.
PRICES:
Similar to other theatres but probably lower than mainland ones. Matinée shows are naturally a bit cheaper.
OVERALL:
Central location and lots of free parking. I wish they’d step up the selections at the food concession and hopefully renovate this place in a Movie Tavern-​like setting.

Went to this theater the other night since they were the only ones showing Evil Dead. We walked towards the cashier, and were asking her a question about the movie, when a group of 5 older women trying to crash a movie just handed her the movie and somehow cut us in the middle of the transaction. I get peeved when people do not have common sense or manors, and between the cashier and those women, I hit the jackpot.
The cashier should have told the women to hold on a second, while she finishes up with us, since we were paying customers and there FIRST. But she helped them out and had us wait instead. Kind of went in the theater with a bad taste in my mouth, but I didn’t let it bother me… After all, I was finally seeing the remake of Evil Dead!
I walked in the theater, and noticed that the screen was extremely small. There were also several seats with a sheet over them and written on them said ‘Out of Order.’ I didn’t know seating could be out of order… This is something I have never seen in all my life! Mix that in with shhty service, small screen, and janky seats, I doubt I will be back.
Needless to say, Evil Dead was still amazing. I want to go back and see it a second time, but I’ll just wait until it comes out. I will have a better experience in my own living room than here.
