Reviews of Cinemagic & IMAX (Movie Theater)

Harley Graziano

Absolutely amazing, very clean comfy and and the sound was flawless. Don't even get me talking about the seats! I could lay there forever.

New seating is too comfortable for those long movies. Great improvement!.

Mac Coldwell

Theatres are fine, but avoid getting Otto's at the Saco location if you were planning to take it in the theatre. There is no signage stating pizza by the slice is not allowed in the theatre that I could see, and no one mentioned it when I bought the pizza or brought it into the lobby through the connecting entrance. It was obvious that this was something that happened often as they were looking out for it, after you buy the pizza of course. From the non-response (stone silence actually) I got when I suggested a sign advising this, my guess is that they are fine with the status quo.

Alexey Pickerell

It's the best movie theater in Maine

Tom Aikins

Nice big comfortable reclining chairs and decent prices ($9.50). Excellent sound.

Richard Jones

Clean. Comfortable seating. Theater temperature was good. Not to cold.

Nancy Litch

Very nice theater.

Jenny Morse

I am wheelchair bound and this is the first theater that is completely accessible. Very friendly staff. Had some complications with the start time and then starting the wrong movie but had a great time either way. Prices are a bit high.

Matthew Calder

Love the seats and the setup in the theaters. Love that you choose your seats when getting tickets. Prices on food are a good bit higher than other theaters.

Scott James

Nice place to go the stuff are great and they help you with what you need for the movie

The only IMAX theater in Southern Maine. I come to this location whenever there's a huge movie event I want to experience in IMAX. We came to watch Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I had a good experience. The line to get in was handled well, and there didn't seem to be any chaos. The employees all seem really nice and professional. The parking lot is pretty big, but it was still overcrowded. People were parking elsewhere and walking over. Our car was hit by someone trying to park in a spot that wasn't actually a parking space. The interior was about as clean as a theater could be - but I feel bad because people just dump their popcorn everywhere and leave trash. Pick it up, people. The bathrooms are small, and the lines usually begin forming directly after a movie is finished. On top of that, their food is insanely overpriced ($5.00 for a hot dog) and not prepped well. Still, the movie-viewing experience itself was great. Would definitely recommend if you want an IMAX experience.

jordan goodwin

Definetly my preferred theater in the area

Robert Gregory

Clean place with good prices

I Review Places

Cool and comfortable place to go see a movie, but what's with the 90's looking Cinemagic ad before the movie. Like come 'on man, it's 2019, you can do better Cinemagic! YOU CAN DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

darlene bean

Awesome. Place was clean. New seats. Movie was great. Am happy. Will go again.

Tarah Blakeslee

Love this theatre. Super comfy reclining seats, most of the seating has a good view. Very clean as well. Not too busy that you can't see something last minute. Food is pricy but it's a movie theatre so that's to be expected. Also attached to a pizza place so you can grab a bite to eat and only need to get a small sized popcorn :)

Bart Simpson

Imax nuff sed

Edward Cook

Cinemagic is our go to theater.always good.the green book was an awesome movie.

L Rallis

The seating is the best. Prices are a bit high, but that's happening everywhere.

Rick Stilphen

Wonderful new recliners, CLEAN aisles and as far as customer service everyone that we dealt with were nice and more than willing to help. In the past I never would write a positive comment.

Gianna Risti

Best movie theater around !

Deb P

Some of the theaters are great, and some are suuuuper super tiny. We went down to see Ant Man & The Wasp the other day and sat in theater 8, which was ridiculously small. They have little kiosks that you can use to purchase tickets without having to stand in the ticket line. Sometimes the concessions are extremely slow. Management is good to customers if you should need them for anything.

Steven Gallo

Great I Max theater with recliner chairs

Kiki Reno

This was my first time seeing a movie in IMAX and it was absolutely incredible! We had so much fun! Their seats are unbelievably comfortable! And the popcorn was yummy.

Mark Fortune

One of the best places to see an IMAX movie in new England. Have taken my son here often to see the newest movie

Misty White

Staff were not to helpful or inviting, place was clean and IMAX was nice

Stephanie Cobb

Love this place especially with the updated seating its fantastic!

PokaPlayz Games

Amazing Movie

Chris Beard

Movie theater seems to have over sold tickets and hassled us about our seats even though we had the correct tickets, purchased ahead of time. Took 20min to get popcorn and a liter of cola. Snack stand was disorganized and some sweaty guy kept touching himself that was serving food.

Casey West

Always nice friendly staff, clean. Seats are comfy. Love IMAX 3D.

Brenda Mayberry

really enjoy going to the movies there but the seats are uncomfortable

Jeff Gosselin

Love this place.

gr kalinich

It was all good, except that they didn't have assigned seats which was bad because we had to sit all the way in the front.... but other than that it was all good!

Erwin Maldonado

Love the new recliner seats. IMAX is the only way to watch movies

Gary J. Winthorp

Raise you hand if you came for end game, my hand was raised but after my experience I'm never coming back again. Ok so end game just came out the parking lot was packed, I'm fine with this because let's be honest we all want to see that hunk Tony stok as thanos, wish he would blast my with that metal fist, oh I'm bad. Ok well back on track I'm walking in and here some moms talking about ottos pizza, are you kidding me you came here for pizza, I was furious because the rest of us are hear to watch people get end gamed. Ok what ever, I walk in and get my ticket, I feel a bit naughty and indulge my self in some popcorn, OH IM BAD! Get to door, the place was darker then day lights and I had no clue were my seat was, and i couldn't find my ticket because I lost it in the popcorn, and between the butter and cornels it was lost and probably eaten. I stubble thru hoards of people getting yelled at the hole tine to sit down, and finally find a seat when what the heck I'm in the wrong room. So I get up, remember I'm getting bood at. I just yelled back, " I'm watching end game ya big meanys"! Finally I find the right room and get a seat. Oh it was amazing, what's not amazing is the girl behind be munchen on her popcorn like the shes the only one in the world. The movie ends, and with it I bust. Amazing experience and will come back soon.

Ahmed Cruz

One of my favorite places to go. I love the IMAX.

I'm Mr. Google

Nice place to watch movies but every time I've ordered the popcorn it has had a burnt flavor to it.

Kimberly Newhall

For OC/CC, don't ever go there. It is so ridiculous that they are depraving deaf people of their movie experience .... It has happened twice that their equipment failed. This happened several months ago and it was my birthday .. my husband and I had a date night ... Couldn't watch the movie and they gave us a refund. Promised they would fix it . SUUUUUUUUURRRREEEE. Now tonight was the second time and it was a family movie night. Guess what? They never fixed it and it failed again. They gave us 2 rain checks ... like we will return. NOT. We will be contacting upper management to get our refinds and will be reporting them to an agency to report their inaccessibility to provide services for deaf people. Thanks for ruining my nights.

Sue J

Love the new recliners!

Rust Leg

Imax has reserved, recliner seating.

Denise Paradis

Saw yesterday on 7/27 and it was unbelievably fabulous!!

Reta Lyman

Imax 3D is awesome. It's sad they only have the one theatre for it though.

Abby Baker

Staff is really nice here, andthe movie was great!

Satish Chamreddy

A great place to watch movies...if you want to watch movies on IMAX then this is the place!!! If you reside in one of the nearby city then plan on starting to this place little earlier as the traffic gets really worst sometimes due to recurring accidents on I-295 southbound.. A great place to enjoy the movie with your friends and loved ones!!

Jesterjj

It's a good price to for a movie that's 180 feet ish size screen

Yvette Dilallo

Let's go to the Movies! Always Fun for the Whole Family n Friends...

Amanda Jens

O-M-squee...the new IMAX stadium is worth every penny to see a movie in. Reserved seats, reclining seats, and plenty of room. The stadium seating was amazing my two kids didn't have someone's head blocking their view.

Daniel Rios

Is really good.. I love the IMAX, they need to update the theater but is a good place

Shirley Ramee

Seating is decent. Snack counter was out if the promotional cups and the junior mints were melted into one large clump. The snack counter is the priciest part of going to the movies I expect everything to be fresh and of decent quality at the minimum for the excessive price

Marcha Thomas

Nice little theater. Watched Show Dog there with kids. Family of 4, $80

Mr.E

Went to go see endgame on the IMAX screen. Even though I was on the front row it wasn't a strain on my neck because the seats recline

Joshua Rosen

This is our favorite theater in the area.

Glen Holmes

Nice seats and clean

isaac lacasse

The new seats in the IMAX theater are amazing.

Cynthia Voisine

Definitely the best place to see a movie in southern Maine. They now have reclining seats. The only disappointment was that the arms didn't lift up. At a theater in MA, they do and I can snuggle with my boyfriend during the movie. Still enjoyed it, though, and you can now reserve seats so you know you will be able to sit together and don't have to get there early.

Thomas Smalley

Awesome seats and affordable..

Stan Dobson

Great seats

Trevor Axelsen

They have new reclining movie chairs there and there very comfortable. Go check them out!!!

Clancy erickson

New comfy seats that recline!

Abel Sullivan

Expensive as any movie theater but overall a good experience. The new leather recliner seats are pretty sweet, huge upgrade over the old ones.

Moriah Greenwood

clean comfortable seats the powered recliner type

Ian Gilchrest

Great venue

Shell Smith

Love the new reclining seats!!

Hillary Cooke

Comfy chairs!

Andy Hight

Clean, good seats, good sound, bar in restaurant attached to theatre

Marc Blouin

It's good to remind myself why I don't go to the movies, as a family of 6. Way to pricey, $100 for 6 tickets and water bottles. I'd much rather have stayed home and watch a movie on my 55 inch TV with surround sound stereo.

Jason Clark

I love this place and frequent it often. I'm so glad there's an IMAX in this part of Maine! The staff is (almost) always friendly and helpful and the place is pretty clean. My biggest gripe is the popcorn. You can smell burnt popcorn every time you walk in this place. I still buy some when I'm there and most of it's fine. But not all of it. I should not consistently get some burnt popcorn when going to the theater, especially given the markup on concessions. But aside from that, it's a great local chain!

Caroline Hiott

I am writing this review as a matter of principle - although I thoroughly enjoyed seeing A Space Odyssey in IMAX, I left feeling I would not return to this particular theatre. The people working there were nice enough but after I spent $16 on a ticket and $8 on popcorn, I was informed that I could not have a cup of water... which is really outrageous and makes quite clear that the management is not concerned with their customers, nor customer service, but only with making money. Can't knock off too many stars because everything else was fine but such an insensitive response to other people never earns high stars from me.

Francis Duffy

Great facility.....current titles..... helpful staff....BUT everything slows down at the counter because you must select your seat in advance from the computer..... STUPID, WASTEFUL, POINTLESS policy!!!!

Andre Francis

Very clean as you walk in. The movie seats can use a little updating. The manager on shift was just wonderful. She was very helpful at all times.

Joe Conte

Had to go to a movie on vacation because of the rain and what a great place to visit. A.C was perfect, great customer service and the sound, seats, and picture was great

Eric Spear

Great bang for the buck. iMax for $7.50!

Noah Lyford

I watched a movie here.

thebanjoguy

Watch a movie in an easy chair recliner!

Shane Davis

Might be the only IMAX close enough to go to and yet it still delivers an extremely high quality movie viewing experience.

Sarah Fennessey

Went to see an IMAX a few weeks ago and I was impressed. The seats are comfortable (make sure you don't sit so high up, it'll feel less immersive) and the space was clean.

Hannah Jewel

Super comfortable and good prices.

cormac quinlan

the new reclining seats are awesome! there are now just self service screens where you can buy tickets or get tickets bought in fandango or something. has normal selection of candy, popcorn, and drinks. the staff is pretty friendly.

Robert Corwin

Comfortable seats

Gus Alivizatos

One of my favorites, no super busy and ultra comfy seats

Scott R

IMAX was ok but way too loud. Video was blurry in spots of motion. Concessions are incredibly overpriced. Rather watch a movie on my own tv.

Sandy Kelley

The movie was great but service at Otto's was

Emilie Vashion

Nice clean theatre's cozy seats..Very enjoyable.

K. Nakanishi

This place is the cheapest movie theater with an IMAX screen I've ever been to. Great!

Johanne Soucy-Camire

Their check in system is VERY ineffective. Besides using the kiosk to buy tickets (credit cards only), customers have to buy their tickets at the concession stand, which also includes picking seats AND purchasing food (optional, of course, but have to have popcorn!!!). There was a long line of customers waiting behind us, and only about 10 minutes left before the movie was to start. They need to go back to having staff work the check in counter and NOT combine both (tickets/seats and food)

Carla Pearce

Extremely clean. Employees were very friendly

Gerry Doyon

Nice theater, and, it was toasty warm in this cold, rainy fall night. Any other theater I've been in has been cold.

Jared Anderson

Maine finally has a good movie theater. They recently upgraded the IMAX theater, awesome reclining seats, super clean, sound and video were great. I’ve been to the the best movie theaters in the United States and used to hate coming back to Maine where this theater was so mediocre... not anymore though.

Patrick Mulcahey

Love the new seating! Chairs are very roomy, comfortable, and recline very well.

Alisa Yescas

Was 5*.Clean, best pull back seats. Movie fantastic as well.Atmosphere welcoming

James Brooker

This past week I had to tell an employee to start the movie. I have had to do this a few other times for this theater. Other than that its a decent place, however its becoming dated compared to the reclined assigned seats at other locations.

Jared Orvis

Like you are in you own chair at home.

Jeremy Allen

The men's bathroom always smells like urine. Other then that, we were in theater 8 and the seating and seats were great!

Joseph Virkler

Very comfortable seating.

Rick Gagnon

Great place to watch a daytime movie.

Kristen Phillips

i frequently attend this theater and love it. just wish there was one closer to me

Elizabeth Nadeau

Love it

Gerry Ducharme

Theatre is OK but when you go into the room where your movie is showing, its so dark you cant see anything. Also when movie is over they dont turn the lights on right away so if you want to leave you cant see where your going. This needs to be adressed before someone falls.

Caroline Menard

The recliners are so comfortable!

Bob Ber

Nice reclining seats, very comfy. Minus one star for all the afs that played before the movie. Green Book was a great movie!

Johnathan Emery

This is a good movie theater. Never has been overly dirty and never had a bad experience watching a movie here.

Chris H

Great service and friendly staff. However, they leave the lights on too bright during the movies!!!!!! Third movie here where there is so much overhead light it is distracting!!!!!!!

Joshua Beaulieu

Quite a multimedia experience that we thoroughly enjoyed. Almost twice the price as a regular movie ticket but worth every cent.

Travis Meserve

we went in tonight to watch a movie after calling to see if their was room and they said yes. after driving 30 mins to get their and was told sorry we are not selling tickets for that show. we are having problems with that theater. will it be fixed before the movie starts in 30 minutes. no was the resopnse we got. ok the two tickets to aqua man for 630. sorry same thing. the staff was very rude. only self pay available at front counter with credit card. no note for people paying cash. asked tp speak to a manager about 2 movies not playing as they were supposed to. he is busy. how long before i can talk to him. i don't know maybe an hour or longer. this is the reason why I do not go to this movie theater the only reason why I was going is because my son had God given gift cards to this theater. I honestly do not think they had a problem with the theaters I can see one not working and I'm having a problem with it but two for the same time showing that's very hard to believe I would rather give my business to other movie theaters then come back to this one

Monica W

Nice service, sweet employees, there's comfy seats in the theater and lots of movies to choose from

Tom Cheney

only one person at concession stand. Bought our tickets ahead of time and had to wait in line twenty minutes to show them stubs. Young lady behind counter was pleasant but overworked, need more then one person running the whole theater

brent capener

Food service line is quick and ticket purchase easy. Comfortable seating.

Kenric Bird

Easy self serve ticketing. Comfortable seats. Great theater!

Scott Seavey

Nice place

Tammy Pregent

Studio 8 did not turn the lights off during the movie. They were dim, but if you sit in the back 2 rows you still get the lights in you eyes.

Robert Chambers

Good movie theater, decent prices, clean, IMAX capable lots of parking.

Sean Wilson

Love the I max, But didn't like the concession at all, packets of salt in stead of salt shacker l. And you couldn't add your own butter.Maybe iam old fashioned but myself and 3 kids and a little over 100 dollars I expect better comadation.

William Arsenault

Great to see a movie

Rick Donathan

Excellent seats

Brian Ciccariello

Cinimagic has done great with all the improvements. Love the rewards, new consession options, and new seating. But I am very upset beach I took my 4 yo to a movie tonight and he got thirsty in the middle of the film. I went to get a cup of water and they said they have done away with the courtesy cup and would give me a cup to use at the fountain as they are now inventoried. My only option was to buy a $4 bottle. This is extremely dissapointing. Owners of Cinemagic fix this.

Midknight

The Delmonico steak is succulent beyond compare!

john murphy

Cinemagic does a great job. I especially appreciate the employees in Saco going the extra mile with my requests.

sharon paul

Love the new reclinng seats!

Ben G.

The seats were very comfortable

Roy Harper

This is the way a theatre experience should be; comfortable seating in recliners, clean, great acoustics and great views from every seat in the theatre. With 12 theatres the viewing areas are smaller than older theatres which I liked as well. The concession stand had a good variety at the infamous movie theatre exorbitant pricing. I had a large Coke along with M&M peanuts which were good for about $10. Ouch!!! When all is said and done, if you're wanting to see a movie I highly recommend Cinemagic & IMAC in Saco.

Biggs Darklighter

If you can't catch a movie theater in Portland or Portsmouth, this is a good spot in between. The seats were comfortable, prices were fair and service was fast. The lobby could use a refresh, but you don't come here for the lobby experience - the 2D theater experience was fine.

david knowlton

Great recliner seats. No ticket agent only computers.

Ann Burton

Seats are amazing, they make moviegoing experience very comfortable.

Laura Siciliano

Enjoy the recliners, choosing seats ahead of time, and ease of access to Saco area.

Jake Alvarado

Great theater and good sports bar attached. On the pricier side but worth it for quality. Imax is fantastic. Get here early on any given night.

Kayla Andrews

A bit expensive, which makes it hard to do a movie night with my family

jay dawge

Like the imax, way cool

Amber Pelletier

Facility is always clean, friendly service and great uninterrupted shows. Confessions can be a bit pricey but worth it as a night out.

Scott Anderson

Saw Avengers Endgame. Loved it. I love the new reclining leather seats. Staff was friendly as always. I wish they had keto friendly snacks at the snack bar but not going to take a star for that. I have been going to Cinemagic since they opened, love this place.

Giffy

I've been going here for years. It's always been a great experience and it's where I first saw Avatar. They just upgraded the seats in the IMAX theater. It's the closest you can get to the IMAX experience without going all the way to Philadelphia a true 70mm IMAX Theater. At the time of writing this, Otto's pizza has moved into the restaurant built into the building and offers some of the best pizza in the area. This is my preferred theater in Southern Maine

Karl Krawczyk

Awesome experience!

John Gaudet

They always have fair prices and nice employees.

Anthony Sullivan

I Max is the only way to see an action film.

Mike Twitchell

Great facility, clean and roomy.

Reborn Playz Fortnight

Best seats I swear

Amber M

Always very clean and awesome picture. Sound is way too loud though no matter where you sit (in IMAX); and although there's a lot of snack options, the prices are outrageous.

Blue Folf

It's okay, really expensive

Lynn Plante

Love the new reclining seats!

Sunshine Fairy

Been enjoying this place of movies for years!! Thanks for great memories and many more.. only thing I don’t agree is food prices. Staff is always friendly! The sound system is a plus!

Cory Morrison

Just moved to Saco. Went here to see Halloween. Little pricey at concessions but theatre was clean, image and audio were both great. Would be nice if lights dimmed during previews.

Anthony Edwards

Clean and comfortable "operating" reclining chairs. This place is way better than the Portland ones....it doesn't stink like bathrooms and dirty diapers!

Stephen Salstead

Expensive concessions, good location, comfortable seats

Wesley Buckalew

Very clean! Great lux seating.

Joe Friant

Very nice theater, modern and clean! The picture was amazing and I really enjoyed having the option of buying my tickets from an automated kiosk as opposed to having to wait in line when I was already late for my movie! I will absolutely return to this theater no question!

Kathi Shibles

I love the renovations! Comfortable and clean!

Chuck Talbot

The new reclining seats with the footrest are awesome.

Misfit Kitty

Great theater. Love the recliners. The folks working seem a bit dazed and confused. They didn't give me my 3D glasses. I didn't think much of it because you tend to get them by the door. But wasn't the case this time.

Dustin Chernesky

Best theater in Maine

Junior Honduras

Good movie theater. It may need an upgrade in the near future but overall it was good

Linda Picken

Love to go

Dean Baker

Great place to see a movie, all the seats recline, there's a pizza joint called Otto's attached where you can eat before or after. I haven't tried it yet but it looks good.

Kevin McKeown

Friendly staff and clean facilities, great experience!

Christina Destefano

The recliners are amazing

Lisa Levenson

Waiting for a good show to see with my comp ticket for having given blood there!!!!

Diana DelGiudice

Always good for a change of pace. I have vertigo so have to sit far away but truly an enjoyable experience. ;)

Jacob Buttarazzi

One of the best movie theaters in the area. The new reclining seats are awesome

Karen Cyr

Their pizza is very yummy

Rona Bilodeau

Movie had no sound. The movie was late starting.
