Author Topic: Best Regal Cinema in Denver area Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 05-01-2019 10:06 PM                     I had gotten some Regal Cinema gift cards for Christmas and will be in Denver this weekend. Figured it would be a good time to use them. Is there a particular Regal Cinema or United Artists theater that anyone can recommend? My motel is in Stapleton so any location within the Denver area is fine. Thank You.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 05-02-2019 06:27 PM                     I "whatsapped" (or whatever it's called) a friend that lives in Aurora. When I asked him if he knows a good Regal Cinema around him, this is what I got: quote: Are you serious? OMG You ARE serious, aren't you? The one at SouthGlenn used to be good, until Regal killed it off. If you want to go to a special theater, you should go to the Mayan. I'm just the messenger.  |  IP: Logged Bill Brandenstein Master Film Handler Posts: 413 From: Santa Clarita, CA Registered: Jul 2013 posted 05-03-2019 04:27 PM                     That's really funny... Regal is tepid everywhere I've ever known of them. I don't live in the area, but the last time I went to a movie near Denver was when we drove 3 hours to Regal UA Colorado Center & IMAX to see Interstellar in 15/70, only to arrive and find the projector broke down. To this day they've not fixed it. So we saw it in one-eyed 2K LieMax. I've told this story here before. Just pick something, as IMO it's a crap shoot. Actually, try Yelp to improve your odds.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-03-2019 05:26 PM                     Even brand new Regal sites are uber lame.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 05-05-2019 01:15 PM                     Thanks for the help everyone. Just so happens the Residence Inn my wife had booked was literally within a mile of Harkins Cine Capri and we went there. Had been there quite a few times before and its always been good. I really enjoy the curtain and big scope screen and sound was good. No complaints.  |  IP: Logged Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 05-05-2019 02:29 PM                     Whoever gave you Regal gift cards should probably be scratched off your list of friends/family. There are not many, if any, Regal Cinemas here in northern NJ, but the few I have been to in Pennsylvania left a lot to be desired.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 05-06-2019 02:57 PM                     Lol actually not so much in my case. They are from my sister who lives in Wichita Ks which has two Warren Theater locations that just got bought out by Regal. They are very good theaters but I can only visit them when I go see my sister, which is rare. The two times ive visited since then has been good and everything is still the same except different cups and opening welcome clip. Ive never been to a traditonal Regal Cinema but I will for sure avoid them at all costs!  |  IP: Logged Frank Cox Film God Posts: 2234 From: Melville Saskatchewan Canada Registered: Apr 2011 posted 05-06-2019 03:10 PM                        People phone me on a semi-regular basis asking if I take Cineplex or Landmark gift cards. Answer: No. Some of them sincerely have great difficulty understanding that my theatre really isn't part of a chain.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-06-2019 04:22 PM                        It's like the people who call me and ask "Are you the movie theatre?" Of "What time is the Avengers playing" without even asking if we are showing the Avengers. People a hard time understanding anything.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 05-06-2019 05:30 PM                     It seems in general the internal workings of a cinema, any cinema, is entirely lost on the public.  |  IP: Logged William Kucharski Expert Film Handler Posts: 244 From: Louisville, Colorado, United States of America Registered: Oct 2012 posted 05-08-2019 09:06 PM                     Too late now, but IMHO for IMAX, the Regal IMAX Colorado Boulevard. For RPX, the Regal Continental. For anything else, the Regal Continental is still my favorite. For those outside the area, the Denver Metro area is about 55/45 AMC/Regal with two Harkins Theaters and third coming soon. FWIW, the Regal IMAX didn't just never repair their film projector, they removed it, thus Dunkirk showed in Denver in digital only, which is why I saw it at the Regal Continental instead, from 70mm film. As far as I know the Regal Continental and the AMC Westminster 24 are the Denver Metro area's only remaining 70mm film venues.  |  IP: Logged Jarod Reddig Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 513 From: Hays, Ks Registered: Jun 2011 posted 05-10-2019 05:10 PM                     Thanks for chiming in William.

They are very special to me, with the Warren West being one ive been too hundreds of times. Im sure its only a matter of time.  |  IP: Logged
