Williamsburg Cinemas

It a decent place. I really love the downstairs area that has all the old movie projectors. I think it a cool touch.
The workers have to do a lot of double duty their so I say bear with them sometimes. They may have to check tickets and make your hotdog. Regardless of that they always seem nice enough. Especially for a young staff. Nowadays, you most people never heard of customer service or manners. LOL
One strange thing, I am not sure about this, but I believe the theaters in the basement are smaller than upstairs.

Ok theater. Very spacious and clean. Beautiful art and nostalgic exhibits, However this venue caters more to the teenager and younger crowd. There is a bit of a walk to the theaters upstairs and on the lower levels. I know because I was wrongly directed by the ticketer and got lost in the theater. Comfy seats but very stiff armrests. Volume very low in theater room. Staff friendly but kind of dazed out (all of them) don’t think I’ll be back.

Happy to have found this place ! I don’t like the huge movie theaters that are overcrowded and long lines. I like a theater that I can watch a quick movie with my son, and not feel like a sardine. We saw Alice in the looking glass today and we really enjoyed it. Great place for families, clean, staff is courteous and friendly. Love the simplicity and old school vibe. This was my first visit but definitely won’t be my last !

Just a recap for the place.
— Audio is fine
— Theater screen is small
— Just like what other said, avoid the front seat as much as possible, especially in 3D.
— Place is well kept and clean.
— Food and drinks are very typical, nothing special.
— Ticket price is almost the same as other.
— No screaming/​crying kids.
Overall it was a decent movie experience, I wouldn’t mind coming back here, I just have to come early.

A perfectly adequate – and mostly, downright pleasant – cinematic experience. This is partially due to the typically sparse crowds (perhaps I just select the less-​popular flicks), but it’s worth factoring in. An aisle seat, which offers peace of mind to my tiny bladder woes, is almost always assured. Comfortable seats, solid ‘corn, prices comparable to current movie theater rates.

Small but comfy And it’s in the neighborhood so why not? The only thing I don’t like is that they microwave the hot dogs. Mine and my daughters were in there tooooooooooo long that by the time they gave it to us and we sat down to eat them they were extremely tough to eat. Other than that this place is not so bad!

I went there to go see «Everybody Wants Some» on Friday night and I was really disappointed to realize that a substantial part of the movie was cropped out — in other words the ratio was completely wrong. Words at the bottom of the screen were cut off, and so were the tops of the actors heads.
If anyone is familiar with the film or any movie by that director (Richard Linklater), they know that it’s impossible to get up during the film because his movies are constant dialogue. I didn’t want to get up to complain and risk missing a chunk of the film, so I sat there and tried to deal with it. Nonetheless, it was an awful experience and I would not return to this theater.

I love this theater, the sound and screens are perfectly fine. Unfortunately, they put on a music video by Meghan Trainor before the movie, and she is just terrible.
Would recommend to my friends otherwise.

Be sure to come here early because there are no reserved seats. We came 20 minutes before the movie start time (not including the previews, which took about 15 more minutes) and the theatre was already 75% at capacity. We managed to get good seats towards the back, which was still better than sitting all the way by the front and hurting our necks looking up at the screen.
We saw the Jungle Book 3D and of course there was a bunch of children. There were many gaps between seats and there were some people that decided to sit along the aisles (on the actual stairs). I was surprised that the theater staff do not check and people can get away with sitting on the aisles, which is a fire hazard and also might cause people to trip (which I saw happen with my very own eyes), as they try to exit and come back to use the restroom or grab snacks from the concession stand.
What also bothered me was the lack of service and Wi-​Fi inside the movie theater (first floor and basement screens). I do not use my phone during the movie, but during the previews, it was impossible to check emails or social media, or even check-​in on Unilocal!However, the modern décor and cheaper concession snacks were a plus.

This cinema is a bit old fashioned; even though it does show 3D movies. Also unlike other popular ones in Manhattan, this one is much smaller and not surprisingly, much cleaner. The only complain I have had is that they have too few snack selections provided…
Location is ok, a bit far from the subway station, but can always take a walk.

Anything bigger badder and more corporate and I’d have been pissed: but this place served as a welcome addition to our hamlet. I LOVE THAT I CAN NOW GET OFF THE COUCH AND WANDER OVER TO THE CINEMA. It’s never that crowded and yeah: the screens are a little smaller. But hey: I’m willing to trade size for one less trip on the helL train.

Might be my new favorite theatre! Little mad I’m just now discovering, came here with my kids to see Zootopia opening weekend and even though we missed the original show time we came for I just purchased our tickets, went to grab a bite to eat as I was directed to do by the lady at the ticket counter. It is much closer to my house than I originally thought, and it’s a cool little movie theater. Was not a fan of having to line up on the staircase with my kids and all the other antsy (accident prone) kids waiting for the movie.
We will be back, probably the weekend after opening weekend though!

For me, the seating was great because the chairs were clean and didn’t feel sticky or dented from a million people having sat in it. The only problem is that the best seats in the house is the last row but those are also the only seats worth sitting in. One row down and your view starts to become above eye level and uncomfortable. Three rows down and you might as well book an appointment to get a neck massage. Get there 30 minutes early because everyone also realizes that the last row is the best and only row.

Just walked out of DeadPool. Was so excited to see this movie, but you can’t enjoy a movie in the 2 front rows. Not sure how they get away with selling tickets for them. Also I’m a HUGE fan of loud things. I saw MBV without ear plugs and enjoyed myself, but jesus my ears are still hurting 30 mins after walking out of the movie. How people aren’t losing their hearing at this place is beyond me. Finally, the snacks. Don’t order the pretzel bites or the hotdogs. They are microwaved so its just hard or soggy gross bread. I know it’s just a movie theater, but it’s a movie theater in a fancy neighborhood. They should step up their game a bit. Lose the front 2, maybe 3 rows… Play the sound at a level that doesn’t make your ears bleed and get some better snacks. Jesus, I’d just appreciate non-​microwaved hot dogs and soft pretzels.
Place escaped 1 star as its staff is courteous and friendly.

Williamsburg Cinemas has its pros and cons. On the con side, popular shows sell out quickly and theaters are a bit small. You need to arrive about 30 minutes early if you don’t want to be sitting in the ~50 seats directly in front of the screen, craning your neck. I made this mistake last weekend and exchanged my ticket for a later showtime.
Pros? The seats themselves are big and comfy, stadium style. Bathrooms are kept clean and concessions seem fresh. Perhaps most importantly, the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. They seem happy! I haven’t met a happy movie theater worker in years, so that was a refreshing surprise.

Arrived just after the previews ended, with no intention of seeing a movie until we hit this corner, and found no line for tickets but a packed theater. Fortunately the second row wasn’t too awful, and there were no screen or maintenance issues throughout our visit.
$ 24 for 2 tickets @ 4pm on a Saturday

This is a really cool place to come check out a movie. The location is in Williamsburg, and very close to quite a few restaurants and local bars. Williamsburg is also another area of Brooklyn that has undergone gentrification.
This cinema has all the most popular movies and on Tuesdays and Thursdays the cost is 8.50 all day. The only thing I have found to be quite hilarious is when people get busted for bringing in their goodies from outside. They check every bag you bring, so beware!

I don’t get some of the negative reviews – it’s mostly just a standard theater with most of the current movies. It’s not an especially big theater, but big enough. I usually order my tickets in advance and have had no issues. I go most often in the summers to escape the extra hot days, and the AC is always satisfying.
Williamsburg Cinemas is a perfectly acceptable theater that I’m happy to have in the neighborhood without having to go into Manhattan. And prices are fair. Good options for food and drinks nearby. Can’t complain – will definitely be back for other screenings.

Small screens, decent seats, good bathrooms. Not much more to say.
If you get stuck near the front for a 3D movie (like I did), good luck adjusting your eyes.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this movie theater and nothing that makes me go there other than sheer location. I live near it, so it is where I see all the movies that nighthawk wont show. It is reasonably clean, the tickets are reasonably priced, the theaters are medium sized and they are oddly high. Some of the seats the screen is quite a bit below eye level, it’s a really odd effect.
I can be happy that I have a place that doesn’t suck that is a 5 minute walk from my apartment, but that is the only reason to go here.
