This theater is fine if you must go to a movie, but the seats are not particularly comfortable and the whole theater is a little squished. I recommend going downtown about 15 blocks to the 68th street where the movie selection is much better and the seats are a lot more comfortable. Still, this theater does sell tickets and popcorn, so it is not a total loss.

What's the point of this place? I have probably seen two good films being played here in the past ten years and even then you have to deal with the place itself. The ugly stepsister of 68th street Sony theater, the 84th street loews is given only what is too bad to grace other movie screens. With a giant marquee lighting up the street, you would hope to find a better selection of films, especially in an area of the city where people care about such a thing, but alas. It is amazing they keep the theater running, since the price of rent is so expensive in that area and they are on prime ground but I guess they make do. Even when there is that one film you might want to go see there, the theater conditions are deplorable. Mildewed theaters, broken down seats, and sticky seats await you inside and the theaters are usually poorly ventilated. The most definately underpaid staff is also not bending backwards to make sure you are treated curtiously either. My best advice would be to avoid this theater all together, go see films at the theaters in the 60s or venture further downtown. Lets see them pull the theater and maybe put something a little more useful in that space. If only they would consider an smaller venue movie house, but probably not.

This movie theater, located at 84th and Broadway has little to recommend it. The movie selection tends toward violent or comedic misogynistic movies. Even if that is your cup of tea, the theater is so dirty and the quality of the copies of the films so bad, that you would be better off taking your money elsewhere. With so many choices in this city for movie theaters, why sit amidst stale popcorn and gum coated floors and seats that should have been replaced 10 years ago. Yuck!
