Cinemark 18 & IMAX Theater

I love going to the movies and taking the kids too! Discount Tuesday’s for $ 5 dollar regular and 8.503D is the way to go. I personally find the refreshments to be way over priced for what they offer. They no longer allow you to bring your Starbucks in with you either as they claim they have Starbucks but really they have like coffee and cannot do any special drinks! Usually not overly packed but can get crazy on popular new releases.

The ideal place to watch Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In 3D and IMAX. It was a great experience.
The mall it’s in isn’t the greatest. It’s easy to get lost in and doesn’t have a great selection of stores or restaurants.
The standalone theatre is the best in the area though. And no sticky floors!

After years of dealing with the horrible management there, I’m finally writing a review. This is the only full-​sized IMAX theater in Pittsburgh, which is the only reason I’ve ever gone there. I will never go back. last night’s Mockingjay Part 2 was the last movie I’ll ever see there and the Mockingjay movies are the only non-​IMAX movies I’ve seen in the theater.
Management cares SO LITTLE about people talking in the theater that they practically encourage it. Though I called to complain during the break between the two movies and the manager promised to make an announcement, nothing was done. I thought people talked during the first movie, since we’d all seen it a few times, but they talked more during the NEW movie and I blame that completely on the lack of consideration by the management.
This IMAX is smaller than the IMAX I was used to in SoCal. I know the AMC IMAX at the Waterfront is even smaller, but I look forward to NEVER driving out 28 to see a movie again. I’ll see every IMAX movie I attend in the area at AMC and suggest you do the same. With any luck, the theater will eventually be affected by the mall’s foreclosure and they’ll get new management. I have some friends who live out that way and they shouldn’t have to deal with a theater where no one cares about them.

The last two times I went to this theater to see a movie it was canceled, so that they could host a private party. At least I now know that I have to call ahead and check to see that they are actually following their own screening schedule.

This theater is very nice, definitely one of the nicest in the Pittsburgh area. Seats are clean and comfortable. Concession stand food had a slightly different selection than at other theaters.

There is not a bad seat in the theater. The seats are comfortable and big and their matinée price is $ 5.50.
The place is spotless, even the bathrooms; and they have a lot of bathrooms.
18 Theaters so there is always a great selection of movies.
The IMAX and 3D theaters are amazing to watch a film in.

Just went to see Interstellar and opted for d box seating. For that movie, worth it. The seats moved perfectly, floating thru space, rumbling with take off, jerking with explosions. The seats were super comfy too. It was so nice to bit be sitting right in top of the person next to you. Everyone gets their own arm rests. finally!

Great theater. This place is big, close to home and lots of showtimes. The restrooms are usually always clean. The picture quality is good and the kids love the arcade. There is plenty of room for them to run around before the show. Always wide variety of films out and big clean theaters.
Over priced concessions is my only complaint however if you do little research for coupons ahead of time you can avoid having to slip and snack in your purse. My advise is go before 6 all tickets are 5 $ expect IMAX which they always mix up those movies as well or have the regular big box office movies playing in them which in that case before 6 they are still 5 $.
We took my daughter and my family here for NINJA turtles and we are taking all 4 of our kids here this weekend for big hero 6. :) Happy watching

I’ve been to a few movie theaters attached to malls and have found them mostly lackluster. Cinemark 18 however, is nothing of the sort. The seats were nice, the screens were clean and scratch /​blemish free, and the sound was good, if not a bit quiet for the room size, but that’s understandable.
I did not view a film in IMAX, but the standard screens are nice and I didn’t notice any odd color variances or sound issues like I have with some other mall theaters. The theater was a bit small compared to some others, but it wasn’t so small that I felt uncomfortable.
Great place to stop and see a film.

Can I admit something embarrassing? I live within walking distance of a locally owned movie theater, but instead I sometimes drive 10 miles to this one because I like their popcorn way better.
Shameful.
I’m sorry Earth for my unnecessary carbon emissions :(And I’m sorry local business for giving my dollar to the big corporation. But sometimes when the big corporation is better, I gotta go with them.
I do love this theater. I’m a sucker for movie theater popcorn, and as I mentioned, the popcorn here is super delicious (and yes, I know I’m pretty much ingesting a heart attack when I mow through the entire tub of buttered popcorn, but it’s so damn good). The theater is really clean (including the bathrooms), modern, and the seats are very comfy. The aisles are wide enough for people to scoot by you without having to get out of your seat. They play a wide range of movies, and prices are reasonable (well, as reasonable as they can be for movies these days).
My only gripe is that throngs of teenagers tend to congregate here, and sometimes they can be annoying theater patrons (e.g., talking and texting during the movie). However, that seems to be a problem at most theaters, and I tend to see a lot of R-​rated movies anyway, which largely solves the problem. No offense to teens, btw — I’m sure many of you are fine, upstanding movie goers — I’ve just had a bad experience here a few times with young’ns ruining movies. Now get off my lawn.

I could start a rant about how many commercials there are at the movie theater these days and how it’s unjust and we should start a petition, but that’s not really the point. Thus I digress…
This is a lovely theater. The IMAX is severely pricy, especially if you’re paying for somebody else as well. So do some research and make sure the movie you’re going to see is WORTH IT. If it ended up sucking, you’re going to be sad you wasted your money. But when you’re in there watching a good movie, it’s quite satisfying. No annoying commercials, it’s BIG, and it’s LOUD. Very loud. No chance of being annoyed by talkative teenage girls or crying toddlers. Although in my opinion, if you bring a toddler into an IMAX movie you are a terrible parent. It is way too loud for their little ears.
There are plenty of showtimes available even for flicks that have been in rotation awhile. And Cinemark is awesome in that they show old movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, or Gone with the Wind, or awesome 80’s classics on Sundays and Wednesday nights. Heck once in awhile they’ll show operas and ballets. It’s pretty nice. My only complaint on that front is that they need to crank up the volume a little on those older reels, in my experience they are so quiet you can hear the movie next door.
Other tidbits: lots of restrooms and they’re very clean. Refreshments are pricy of course, and I haven’t seen any «cheap eats night» promotion from them, but this movie theater is in a mall next to the food court, so there’s unlimited options when it comes to sneaking in contraband… which of course I’ve never done.

I recently saw Godzilla in DBox, a new type of seat here. The seats move with the movie, kind of like an amusement park ride. I saw Jack Ryan and Spiderman 2 in DBox before this and wasn’t especially impressed. It was cool, but not mind blowing. That could be because those movies weren’t as good, though.
Godzilla in DBox was amazing! The movie itself is great and was even better in the DBox seats. The movement of the seats was perfectly timed and just right. They only moved when there was a point to it. Godzilla stomped and the seat shook. Godzilla roared and the seat shook. Perfect! The seats aren’t especially comfortable otherwise, but for Godzilla, it didn’t even matter.
At an additional $ 8, it’s a little pricey, but definitely worth it for a movie like Godzilla. I’m looking forward to seeing more movies in DBox, if they are anywhere close to as good as Godzilla was.

This is your typical big movie theater. It’s clean and the seats are comfortable. I prefer one in the first row so that I can put my feet up. If you go with your sweetie put up the arm rest! Concession stand is nice– love the popcorn. Staff are kind and I’ve never had an issue here. Only 4 stars because I do like having an adult beverage and that’s not a option here. Nice theater though.

First-​run movies in a clean and friendly environment. Thanks to stadium seating, all seats are good, and there are many digital theaters as well as the IMAX.
Prices are reasonable, especially first showings and shows on Tuesday. Concession selection is good and prices are decent, especially if you sign up for the weekly email special.

This is a great theater. They have alot of screens of high quality, and a real full IMAX screen. Check it out on a Tuesday night for discounted movie nights. They also offer some special screenings of operas, classic movies, and other events.

Best movie theater in the Pittsburgh Area by a long shot. Tons of screens with and IMAX. Can’t go wrong here. Always clean and everything is just perfect from the time you walk in till the time you leave. Cinemark is what makes Pittsburgh mills mall.

When going to see a movie, I always choose this theater. Its clean, secure, and I’m not worried about kids talking during the movie or rude people for that matter. I usually go Tuesdays because its only $ 5 a person all day. They have the option at the concession area to purchase a small popcorn bucket and a large fountain drink that are both reusable and can be refilled everytime you bring them for just $ 6. Can’t beat that anywhere anymore unless you bring in your own food. I really have nothing negative to say about this location.

This theater is pretty standard for the new «megaplex» variety. I’ve been here on several occasions and always found it to be clean and easy to navigate. Lines for tickets and concessions both move quickly. I like the fact that you can purchase concessions both before and after you have your ticket checked so you don’t have to worry about not losing your ticket if you get hungry during the movie.
Seats are spacious and comfortable (even for me at 6′ tall and my fiancé at 6’4).
Until the movie theater is built in Monroeville, this will be my go to place for movies.

Nice theater. Clean, stadium seating, lots of screens, and $ 5 matinée. They also have an IMAX theater although I didn’t see a movie in that theater.
The seats are high backed and slightly recline/​rock.
I didnt get a snack so I can’t comment on that or the prices but it had the standard movie theater popcorn smell so I’m sure its delicious.
It is connected to the Pittsburgh Mills Mall which is a nice mall with a few places to eat, there are also a number of restaurants surrounding the mall. This would make it very easy to have the ‘dinner and a movie’ experience.

The finale to our adventure at Pittsburgh Mills came at the Cinemark 18 for the evening’s very last screening of THOR.
After we finished our meal at Houlihan’s across the way, I thought we might be able to catch it. It was 10:20 PM. As luck would have it, the final showing of the day was 10:25. What luck! It was in IMAX 3-​D! Superior!
I was never too keen on 3-​D movies, that cardboard eyewear with the red and blue lenses never really doing much in the way of enhancing my experience, hindering it in reality.
25 – 30 years later… the better mousetrap has come.
I knew we were in for a dazzling flick when the trailers alone made me jump out of my cushiony, reclining, fit-​for-​napping-​in, seat. Never before had I been startled by the stars in the Paramount logo. I thought they were gonna hit me.
Things I also thought were gonna hit me included the following: Debris, lightning, swords, spears, chunks of ice, fists, a monster’s tail, beams of cosmic energy, and Mjolnir, the hammer of the Son of Odin himself.
Coliseum seating, booming sound, furious picture quality, and a rollicking movie made respectfully in the Mighty Marvel Manner (Ken Branagh directed this! Sir Anthony Hopkins turning in a performance on par with Marlon Brando’s turn as Jor-​El!) made for a breathtaking end to Free Comic Book Day and our pilgrimage to Pittsburgh Mills.
Excelsior!
Yes, Stan Lee made a cameo, and you’re damn right we stayed in our seats past the credits. I’ll never make that mistake again.
