United Artists Midway 9

Movie theater of choice for me if I choose to go locally. Nice, clean, close to Austin street that has a lot restaurants and cafes if you want to grab something to eat before or after the movie. Close to public transport.

Great location. Right in the center of forest hills. Nice and clean. Overall I loved my experience at this movie theatre. Good customer service.

This is an ok theater, the seats are a little dated and a bit uncomfortable. If I’d had to pay full price, I would have gone elsewhere. Decent service, but understaffed.

Used fandango on a gift card to see concussion
Still had to put in $ 7.00 so pop corn and soda makes up for tix. I have to look into discount card.
1^st show in so theater is clean and everyone is happy and nice I say give it a couple of hours
Anyway theater 8 is tiny tiny and shaped funny.
Have never been and probably won’t be seeing any more movies in no 8
But to each his own happy 2016

We decided to spend New Years Eve seeing a movie. While the theatre was running on a skeleton crew, which was expected… I was very disappointed.
The concession area was awful. We purchased popcorn and pretzel bites… both were old and stale. For the amount you pay for such items they could at least attempt to keep the items fresh. The bathrooms were dirty, and had little supplies if any.
The theatre we were in had been kept clean, and the employee at the front was exceptionally nice.

Love the movies here
and the staff friendly and helpful .
And it’s always kept nice and clean .
Always great snacks !

$ 14.50 for an afternoon matinée. Seats were OK, not too comfortable. The theaters were not that big so I could see shows selling out quickly. It is a convenient movie theater to get to because it is right by the Forest Hills subway. However, other than that, it is a mediocre theater.

A great movie theatre in a great location. Great seating and spacing and a good selection of goodies to eat from the concessions. With this I also have a few cons
1. There is only one teller giving out tickets, causing a long line most of the times. 2. On the second floor the women’s bathroom is never open, causing a big inconvenience if your movie is upstairs. The movie tickets are also getting more and more expensive. But you find that with any movie theatre you go to. Here is always clean and the staff is always pleasant.

The concession stand is always slow. They have kids working there who don’t understand customer service. The theaters themselves are nothing special and not always cleaned when one movie end and the next begins.

The rating on this place is pretty accurate (at the time I’m writing this, its 3-​stars) and it seems to be a pretty solid three every time I see a movie here. If you’re planning on seeing something on a Saturday, count on them being waaaaay understaffed. We buy our tickets through a Corporate Perks discount program but still have to wait on line to exchange our vouchers for actual tickets, and without fail we’re waiting for at *least* 15 mins every time. The staff is underpaid (obviously?) and it shows… no one is ever enthusiastic about being there. I utilize their Regal rewards program though, so I rack up points for stuff like free popcorn/​soda and even free movie tickets which is nice.
The worst part about Regal theatres, or movie theatres in general, is that the combo choices/​options and sizes are PREPOSTEROUS. I’ve told them more than once that I would like to pay for a small soda but receive it in a kids-​sized cup (which is even smaller than a ‘small’) but every single time they either don’t understand my request or they have an issue allowing me to do that. I’m not asking for anything free by any means — on the contrary, I’m offering to pay MORE THAN the portion size that I want… but for some reason (and it’s always because of «stock».?) it’s impossible.
I know most people go to the movies and want a donkey or a pack-​mule to carry their snacks into the theatre for them, but not everyone is a massive over-​eater. More options would be more than great.

Theater was clean and quiet during the movie.
Tickets were a little pricey.
Overall a good experience

Been twice (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 2D, THE GIFT) and both times the projection bulb brightness is embarrassingly dim. The preshow entertainment was dim — and thinking that the feature would be brighter when the house lights dimmed — it did not make any difference. Both times the bulb was, by far, the dimmest I’ve seen at a NYC theater and makes me think they are turning down brightness on the bulbs to get more life out of them (take in mind that these are $ 700 bulbs — I order them for my theater). Though it’s cheaper than Manhattan, not by much.
The floor is cluttered with oversized standees awkwardly put on top of the concession stand where any one of them could easily fall on a guest or team member with a slight nudge. (See picture). The 2 kiosks are hidden behind the box office. You would never know they existed if you weren’t curious — even hidden in a dark corner.
The theater itself is oddly laid out and the second floor feels more like a maze with an extra concession stand that I doubt is open only one time a year. There is nothing extraordinary or inviting about the space and though I live only a quarter-​mile away and love its convenience, I’d rather take the time to go into the city to see a movie presented the right way, with appropriate brightness levels.

Midway theater is a pretty local spot. Growing up in Queens, besides Jamaica Movie theater it was my go to place. They play the most recent movies and have a variety of showtimes. They also have somewhat comfortable seats, as they can recline and the arm rests do move up and down. However, over the years it has gotten super expensive! Being that it is not the newest or cleanest theater, I personally do not think their prices are justified. I always purchase the Costco regal ticket packs when I go to this theater.

A quick update as I’ve given this place a few more chances over the years…
I’m happy to report that the projection problems seem to have been taken care of. No issues lately. Now if we could only train the staff a bit better.
Staff should not enter a theatre immediately when the film ends, yelling «There’s nothing after the credits! There’s nothing after the credits, ya’ll!!» Yeah, maybe credits aren’t important to most people but I’m one who likes to sit for a minute after the movie, with music that has been specifically chosen for that moment, and think about the film I just saw while giving recognition to the people who made it. And in the case that there is an after-​credits scene, staff should not turn on the overhead work lights until it is finished.
When performing theatre checks during the film, staff should not wave their flashlight at the audiences’ faces. They also shouldn’t leave the theatre doors open when they exit.

Come here for the convenience because the R/​M train stop is right there. You get off at 71^st Ave, and head up a little on Queens blvd. and bam, there’s the theater.
Nothing special about it really. Decent sized, two levels, food stand, and bathroom on both levels (if I recall correctly).
The line to get tickets outside of the theater can be long at times and since you have no choice but to be on the sidewalk, it gets annoying when you constantly have people knocking into you, but there are machines inside where you can purchase tickets quickly.
The theater/​seats themselves are clean enough, and I’ve never had issues. For movies that have been out for a few weeks, you get a smaller theater. But it’s very comfortable and plenty of space and room so it works out dine.
The women’s bathroom stinks. On the most recent visit, just had a very weird, musty smell that made you just want to do your business faster and get out of there.
Have all the new major movies, with plenty of showtimes.

The theater itself is a bit run down compared to others on the City. And not run down in the charming sense. But the sound is decent, and the bathroom is clean. There is just the lingering sense that the moment of modernity has passed this establishment by.

I haven’t been to a movie theater in awhile but Mad Max seemed like a movie you wanted to see in the theaters because of the 3D aspect. There are a bunch of rooms in this theater and two levels. The rooms are medium sized but they had reclining seats and cup holders in the arm rests. The theater was pretty empty when I went so that was great.
There is a parking garage on the same block, otherwise it’s metered parking but the meters have a two hour limit.

Nice little theater in Forest Hills, Queens. Caught a 10pm show (Furious 7) this past Tuesday. 15 minutes before the start of the movie, our party of two were literally the first people in there. I guess that can be attributed to it being a Tuesday night but, hey, I’ll take it!
Theater was pretty clean; no odd smells or dirty seats like I’ve experienced at other theaters in Queens. Gentleman at ticket booth was very polite and helpful. Even restrooms were decently kept.
We lucked out with unmetered street parking right in front but there’s a parking garage just next door and additional street parking all around. The F Train also stops right here. If you’re early and/​or just want to grab a bite to eat before your showing, there are a variety of places within a one block radius. You can get everything from fast food (McD’s) to fast causal (Chipotle, Boston Market) or even a nice steakhouse (Aged). That’s just a sampling; there are many other joints close by. Street vendors, too, if you prefer.
Second time here and both experiences have been equally pleasant. No reason I wouldn’t come back here.

Been literally coming here for years now, watching movies and seeing the slow increase in ticket prices. I remember the good old days when a dinner and a movie was affordable. Now, its downright pricey. $ 28 bucks for just two tickets ??? Wth? Then if you factor in the ridiculous mark-​up you guys put on popcorn and sodas and small assortment of candy and chocolate. It could very well add up to $ 50. Its hard out here for a pimp, without the movie prices…(Sheeeeesh). The AMC in fresh meadows is slightly cheaper and they got the reclining seats. Step your game up Midway, not the ticket prices…
Future Elitist. OUT

One of the popular movie theaters in Forest Hills.
The location is ridiculously close to the subway/​bus line and all type of restaurants are nearby.
The movie theater has two floors and is well maintain.
No complaints.
