We had very fond memories at this theater. I remember when it first opened and we watched a great assortment of movies from Hunger Games, Marvel movies and more! They show the most popular movies that are shown at local theaters. Most recently, we saw Huntsman: Winters War and I was impressed by the sound quality. It even made me want to download the ending credits song "Castles" by Halsey. The concession stand food can be pricey but that is the case in all movie theaters. The food prices are actually cheaper than those in NYC theaters. The security often checks bags for hidden food or drinks but there were some instances where they were not there and did not check (maybe low in staff). But the staff at the concession stand are friendly and helpful. After each movie, the space is thoroughly cleaned, making it pristine and comfortable for the next movie screening. The bathrooms are also clean and modern. The seats are comfortable and spacious (comes with cup holder, space between seats for items and even portable desk table since they are converted into lecture classrooms during school hours). I never had problems at this theater and only experienced great, unforgettable moments. Plus, it is conveniently located by Livingston Plaza and Student Center bus stops, Starbucks and 16 Handles!

Seen great movies here, comfortable seats that have a good lean back angle. Even though its a small theater, sound and picture are great. Not IMAX of course, but good screen size. My biggest problems are: 1. The ticket taking/printing/ripping process makes no sense. They need to separate the snack line from ticket printing line and allow phone tickets. 2. If you get there too close to show time the only seats left are at the front and VERY close (happened twice for me, neck still has a little soreness)

It may not be as big as an AMC theater, but the quality of it is just as good. Surprisingly for an on-campus college cinema, it was clean, well maintained, and and very enjoyable. Also, the prices, especially if you are a Rutgers student, beats that of any cinema conpetitor that I know of. I have watched several movies here and plan to watch more in the future.

Recommended if you can get student ticket prices, about half the price of normal theaters. The theaters and screens themselves are about two-thirds the size of normal screens. Movie selection is also tiny (about 3 films at any given time) but theyre usually good ones. Make sure to look up times in advance online.

All the snacks of a regular theater -popcorn, candy, soda. First run movies, low prices, and small theaters so you dont have all the noise of the large number of people coughing etc. Definitely recommend this place (although at the same time, dont go and let me keep this secret for myself!)

Rachel Romano

They have the latest releases and beautiful cinemas with great sound and video quality. The only thing is that they have limited seating so plan ahead. Also the snack are expensive. However student discount for Rutgers students makes up for it.

The Rutgers Cinema is a phenomenal venue for hosting an event! Alex and Jocelyne were awesome and super helpful! Our guests had a wonderful time, as did we. I would certainly recommend this venue for all your future events :)

Pretty good for catching a movie around campus. The seats are comfortable and the projection is nice and bright. When its not a movie theater, its a class room so there are fold out tables on the seats also.

Brandon Cheng

Its a small 3 theater cinema.They have the new movies, and showing are usually at night after classes have ended there. Starts earlier on the weekend. Cheap, especially for especially for students.

David White

Great movie experience in a clean/new facility. And the best part: discounted movie tickets.. half the price of your regular theater tickets with the same cinematic experience. Need I say more.

Jason Cunas

Great place if you wanna catch a movie at an affordable price. Concessions are a bitboricey though. Would give it 5 stars, but the popcorn is a bit salty, so beware.

Patrick Nosker

Great prices for students but the popcorn buyer machine has been out of order for months and during a showing of a movie the video cut out for three minutes.

Andres Rivas Pardo

Great movie theater. Although there are only 4 rooms, the seats and the quality of screen are pretty good. Very comfy theather.

Drew Gaffney

Super cheap for students. Nice clean and comfy environment. Always gets good new movies. Wish it had more showtimes though.

Andrew Deng

The A.c. its maintaining a ridiculously cold temperature. I personally bring my jacket there in the summer.

Brian Havens

Student prices are the best in the area. But you have to listen to loud college students during the movie

Ian Wardell

I wish they had better viewing positions. Increasing prices. Still cheaper then other theaters.

Kevin Curtin

Its not the most luxurious theater youll be in but its very affordable for a student.
