    Well...i've been in this cinema countless times. As usual, great service. Nachos and popcorns were yummy. The seats' comfy! I always enjoy watching the movie in this cinema. No matter how far it is from my home...

    Around 10 screens here, several upstairs with their own snack bars. We were in 'Platinum 9' hall. Large, comfortable seats with wide armrests. Air conditioning at a sensible level. Cleaning staff in the moment the film finished.
    They started playing the wrong film, but changed it immediately we informed them.

    This VOX cinema is particularly visitor friendly for me. I once tried VOX at nation towers and was a bit disappointed but here, we always enjoy our experience. Location wise, the cinema is very accessible for everyone, with a vehicle or not. Food is very well handled unlike the others, I instantly got my food ordered online once I presented my ticket. Cinema itself was nice but a little bit too cold. The toilets were clean and beautiful, this is one thing I consider when going to movies. If they have their toilets clean, the cinema is definitely clean too! Recommended for families and friends who are in the city!

    Grand Al Mariah Cinema was located at the Al Mariah Center of Abu Dhabi, it has 6- cinemas that offers variety of movies from Asian films and International movies. The location is in the city center that is accessible by public bus, taxis and private cars. It is also close to bowling center, shopping mall and restaurants. the only problem is the parking because the place was too crowded and will take time to get your parking space.

    Solo movie nights are the best and what better way to spend it than watching a comedy. Although you know that any comedy featuring Kevin hart is a comedy on steroids.

    I loved this movie it has a good story line, great humour and outstanding actors. A must see if you haven't yet, I was laughing so much I'm sure everyone else thought I'm on something. Although who cares when it's your night out, sometimes you just gotta give yourself a break and laugh ALOT!

    So yes friends if you're looking for what to do on your next solo spoil, TRY this. It's guaranteed to reduce stress 😅

    Yesterday I visited National cinema for watching Kedarnath movie show. When I looked up to the ceiling, I saw dirt around the spotlights and the ceiling portion above last 3 rows near projector room. I believe they should have schedule to clean the ceilings and louvres of the AC outlets also. However the movie tickets are reasonable compared to other movie halls.

    I am a regular visitor of theatre by rhodes in Nation Towers. The cinema is comfortable, although the chair doesn't recline much. (Platinum in reel cinema does). The menu has limited choices for vegetarians. And there is a rude Filippina waitress that is working every night in the cinema. Those are bad points about this cinema. The good points are that it's quite, respectful place, where you wouldn't find anyone bothering you. You can relax enjoy your meal and the movie. Also it's possible to make changes in booking timing over the phone (platinum by reel cinema doesn't allow it). You get blanket and pillow - pretty much like business class in airplane. in all its a pleasant experience.

    Reasonable movie prices - 30 to 35 AED. Seats are all comfortable and last 3 rows at the high point of the theater are the 35 AED seats. All reserved seats which is quite civilized.

    Sound system is excellent.

    Be aware as other have posted that it can be noisy due to cellphones and others either talking or smoking. Therefore, pick your seat carefully at the box office.

    Refreshments are quite reasonable.

    Eldorado cinemas have two cinema halls they are cinema hall 1 and 2. Cinema 1 bigger than Cinema 2 with good sound quality and clear picture quality. Mostly screened South Indian language cinemas like malayalam, tamil and telugu. No online reservation we need to go and get the ticket in person. Weekend shows screened with packed with people.

    The location is important and it is near the Elektra street and most of the people know about the theater running such a long time.

    Pros - Good sound quality and picture quality and cinema 2 is like a big home theater.
    Cons - There is no parking space.
