Regal Cinemas Strawbridge Marketplace 12

I gotta say this place is sort of awesome for a movie experience — like a living room on steroids. Plenty of room between people, deep reclining pleather seats and a good selection of movies. It felt like we had our own private movie experience.

Clean, friendly staff, my favorite movie Theather in the city. The relievers are amazing. Even the seats towards the front aren’t bad.

We love this theaters comfortable seating. They have the large reclining chairs that are perfect for watching a movie. Our only criticism is that the theaters are not cleaned very well after each movie sometimes finding popcorn on the floor and drinks in the holder.

The leather recliners are dope. So is the abundance of space for people to walk up and down the rows of seats (no need to have to debate whether to put your crotch or your butt in someone’s face). I like being able to choose my seats online when buying tix (not everyone agrees, I know). Also, someone mentioned the arm rests between recliners do not have an option to be lifted up for boo snuggling — the first time going here we tried to raise ours after seeing the couples’ beside us had theirs raised, but our arm rest wouldn’t budge. This last time we went, our armrest flipped right up… So I’m going to say some are defective.
The downsides for me are the low volume of the movies compared to other theaters (with the AMC at Lynnhaven Mall being too loud — I prefer the in between) and the restrooms are limited and cramped. Everything else about this theater is hum drum, nothing out of the ordinary.

This is one of the best theaters I have been to. The theater stays clean, the seats are comfortable and the staff is nice. It’s these small aspects that I always look for and that would absolutely turn me off to a place.

Two words: Reclining seats. They’re almost too comfortable. I took my 4 year old nephew to see the Peanuts movie and I fell asleep. All of the theaters are on the small side so there’s really not a bad seat in the house. Love the assigned seating option when I order online. Eliminates the need to show up an hour early for the best spots. Concession stand is average. The lobby and restrooms could use an update but the theaters themselves are perfection.

Great seats, great service, clean theater! I love this location, it’s not too crowded because of the limited seating in the reclining theaters. The wait for the concessions weren’t long, and the seats in the theater we were in was very clean and well kept! The staff is lovely, everyone from the entrance on back had great customer service. The restrooms were even clean! Thank you for a great first experience!

Two visits and the only selling points for me are the chairs and space. Love love love the size of the chairs, they way they recline, & the spacing of rows and chairs.
Cleanliness of the facility overall can use some work. Suggestions: Empty trash cans (each visit proved trash cans overflowing like crazy), clean bathroom (sink, floor, toilet seat covers were falling off. pretty disgusting & torn), refill toilet paper and paper towel holders, ensure photo booth (& any other electronics) in lobby are in working order. Price is outrageous so, the basics should be a given.

21 Nov, 2015. Another great experience. They now have boneless chicken wings, caramel popcorn. We did not have those though. The staff and food are always on point, there good. The movie though, ouchhhhhh 007 Spectre, GARBAGE. Do not waste your money.

Ok review number two in my quest, this is the best cinema I have been to period. Let’s start with the less than great, food is typical cinema, popcorn and such. If you buy a popcorn with drinks I believe the price was one thousand and fifty dollars and thirty seven cents… I jest but it is expensive, go to the farm fresh within walking distance and smuggle in your own goodies. Now the superlative, the seats, yes the seats, did I mention the seats, ok they recline and are comfortable. The place is clean, the workers are cheerful, and like all regal cinemas you can but your tickets online. Now back to the seats they are comfortable and recline, did I mention that, yes they recline… seating is limited so if going Friday my tip is to buy online early… pick out seats in the middle top balconies and enjoy. Plenty of room and the seats recline.

Not sure if this is the only comfortable recliner seats in VA Beach — if so, then the 4 stars is deserving. If not, they need to have better management of their concession stands – Several items were taking 16 minutes… so we declined the purchase.
I also didn’t like how their reclining chairs did not have the option to move the arms into a love seat. I wanted to snuggle with my boo– and this theater LET ME DOWN LOL

While I’m debating dropping down to 2 stars I think I’m gonna leave it at 3 since I do love the pick your seats in advance and the recliners but what I don’t like dealing with is being ripped off.
We went for a movie mid afternoon on labor day so we got the cheaper tickets, if 8.50 is cheap but hey its the movies what do you expect. We weren’t planning on getting anything from consessions because after a long weekend of labor day festivities my wallet needed some kind of a break. But getting there I just wanted a water. There was the regular sized Dasani bottle or the larger 1 liter one. So we pick that up and she tells my boyfriend the total and I literally almost fall over and I have a look on my face like what the fuck?! It was $ 4.99!!! For a freaking bottle of water!!!
He paid and I think I was in shock that he actually paid that stupid marked up price.
Oh and they are doing bag checks now and according to the Regal website it is for concealed weapons. Now anyone can carry a gun on their body easily so only checking bags is half ass. Not to mention I support people who open carry legally so this leaves a bad taste in my mouth. But I guess half ass peace of mind is better then nothing.
But honestly do not charge 5 freakin bucks for a damn bottle of water!

The staff could certainly use some training in customer service. They seem to lack and understanding of how to treat customers. I came here on a Saturday morning and the attendant at the front acted as if I was bothering her when I purchased my tickets. She was rolling her eyes at me the entire time I was trying to pick out a seat as if she was telling me I was taking too long. It just put a bad taste in my mouth which is why I can’t give this location 5 stars.
The theater itself is amazing. I would rather go to a movie here than any theater in this area including Cinema Café. The seats are so plush and comfortable it’s like watching a movie at home with you feet up!
They have started checking bags which I don’t mind because I know its for my safety. They use a baton to rummage through, nothing too intrusive. Hide your snack. Lol.

Went to see Jurassic World and ordered our tickets online. No big deal right… wrong! You can pick your seats. That’s right they give you the option of picking your seats so you can arrive right before the movie and sit wherever you like. Because you picked them before hand. How awesome is that! I know you might be asking, what happens if some is sitting in your seat? We just asked the theater employees and they politely moved them. No problems. The reserved reclining seats make it the best place in town and our primary theater! Hope you enjoy it too.

I hate going to the movies. HATE it. Ever since a lady with a baby ruined the final Harry Potter film for me.
So I rarely go to the movies — probably literally like once every three years when someone begs me or I get drug there unwillingly on vacation because there is nothing better to do.
I did make an exception two weeks ago and went to see Pitch Perfect 2 with my mom while she was visiting. My fiancée goes to the movies often (alone since I won’t go with him) and he had told me that this theater had been recently renovated and had reclining chairs and stuff.
We booked and selected our seats with the Fandango app and found it to be really easy and fast. We simply showed the code on my phone and they scanned it — passed the ticket lines and everything and just walked right up to the ticket taker. WIN!
I don’t know how many people are actually adhering to the assigned seats thing but we arrived early enough that it didn’t matter and we got the seats I had selected but the theater filled up to pretty full considering the movie had been out a few weeks and it was a late Sunday. I guess everyone else had the same good idea as me. Darn.
It wasn’t a big deal though because, as another reviewer mentioned, the seats are so spacious and have so much room to allow for the reclining chairs to recline that you aren’t going to have someone kicking your seat — they literally wouldn’t be able to reach it to do that anyway. Great.
Overall — it was a pleasant experience — so in another 4 years. I’ll come back.

Wow!!! All I can say is this place raised the bar big time! This was hands down the best
movie experience! I will be putting the pressure on the Regal theaters near me in Raleigh/​Durham to consider following your lead. The leather reclining seats were amazing! The seating and aisles both were spacious. The popcorn was great-​movie theatre popcorn is my weakness! I will make it a point to this movie theatre each and every time I am in town! I really do hope the company plans to upgrade more of their theaters!!!

Recliner seats. That’s why this is as good as it gets. It’s the only one of its kind in the area. Make sure to get there early, the recliner seats have to be reserved. We got there about an hour before our movie and were stuck with the first 2 rows to pick from. Luckily, the recliner seats do not make the view as bad compared to normal seats.
The theater is small compared to other ones, but definitely nice with the upgraded seating. There’s plenty of spots to eat or check out before or after your movie. With that said, parking can be a pain for the same reasons. We always end up parking in the back unless we’re able to stalk someone to a spot when they’re about to leave.
Definitely a perfect spot for a dinner and a movie date night.

The only renovation I really noticed was the chairs. They are worth the price of going to a matinée movie now. The sound quality needs to be upgraded though. Since their renovation, you can reserve your seat when you purchase your tickets online! For a matinée price, the comfortable chairs, and the convenience to not waste time finding good seats is worth coming here instead of AMC!

Wow, what a makeover!!!
The place is clean, spacious, & you can now choose your seats in advance (online or in person.)
My most favorite thing ever would have to be the new, electric, reclining seats! Can we say COMFY?!
This place has ruined it for other theaters for me!

Pleased to find that there is a decent Regal theater around here. I loved that I was able to reserve me seats when I purchased the tickets online. Super nice! The staff was friendly and the lobby and concessions area was clean. The theater was clean and I love the new seats! All theaters need to switch to these recliners! I hate sitting in old dirty, smelly cloth seats that are not even that comfortable. Kuddos to Regal for putting in these faux leather seats that are easy to clean and sanitize. they are comfortable and they recline!!!
