Regal Cinemas Colonie Center 13 & RPX

Saw Star Wars in RPX. I freaked at the 17.75 ticket price, but the RPX experience is nice. The seats recline slightly, are larger than traditional seats and are spaced well enough so that no one in front of you is in your field of vision. The theater could have been a little cleaner though — sticky floors were kind of gross. Picture and sound was nice, but in think the improved seating is what really set it apart.

I went to see Star Wars. Paid $ 50 for my party of three to go.(which I was OK with). However we were bombarded with long previews that were extremely loud. Almost ruined the mood for the movie. The previews were so loud and intense that they physically hurt my ears. They also lasted about a half hour which thought was a little ridiculous. They did turn down the volume for the feature. Probably suggest another theater if you are going to see a bug feature like star wars.

We frequent this place almost every weekend. Hopefully they will install the new recliners I have used in other theaters. On thing though all the Regal’s have instituted bag searches to everyone because of the shootings at theaters… it’s a sad day that you have to do this. Also if you go to dinner before the show leave your leftovers in the car as you can’t bring them in the movies… Funny thing Regal I just finished dinner I’m not going to eat the leftovers!

Really nice theaters with comfortable seats and huge wide screens. Great sound.
Expensive food options like every other big chain theater.
Get the regal rewards card for free or discounted drinks, food and tickets.

The best spot in Albany to catch the new movies out in theaters. The theaters and restrooms are always clean. Only downside is the price but what theater isn’t charging an arm and a leg for tickets and concessions these days.

Incredibly expensive, as are all Regal Cinemas. Took my family of 5 to see Ant-​Man, and between tickets and snacks, it was close to $ 100. Ugh. However, I much prefer this Colonie Center location to Crossgates. It just seems a little less neglected, and the seats were a bit more comfortable.

Pretty comfortable theatre attached to a shopping mall. The staff was friendly and the seats were comfortable.
My two gripes are that they don’t offer you to pick your seats when buying the tickets and that the escalators don’t go down to the ground floor. Otherwise while I prefer AMC of the chains this establishment did a good job and deserves four stars.

Better screens seats and sound than the older theaters in the area with the possible exception of Crossgates. Definitely check out the new «regal premium experience» or RPX for short. It is exactly what it sounds like.

Nice theater with stadium seating. Parking lot can be a mess on the weekends. Tickets are pricey, but so is everything else in New York. They have a good selection of candy too, but at movie theater prices.

Cleanest bathrooms in town, and lines move pretty quickly. Strange how exiting requires a circuitous root past stores. As all chain theaters, this is expensive, but sometimes the Spectrum doesn’t show the movie you want to see.

A fine place to catch a movie. It’s clean and comfortable. Admission prices are average (meaning expensive). We went on a Saturday evening and there was plenty of seating available for the X-​Men film, with no seat kickers to kill the whole experience.

By Far The Most comfortable and Best Theater in Albany.

Absolutely disgusted with the way the staff treated my friend. He went to the bathroom and, when he wasn’t back after 30 minutes, I left the theater to go find him. I later found him waiting at the car in the 45° cold weather. Apparently, Theresa, the ticket taker, rudely kicked my friend out of the theater because he was unable to locate his ID. I will not be wasting my money at this overpriced theater again, especially as long as Theresa still reigns as dictatorial ticket taker.

So… everything changes when you have kids? I love the movies. I love this theater, until this weekend. We took our daughter to her first G rated cartoon, and we were out of there less then half way through because our ear drums were bleeding from the volume. Come on guys! Its a kids movie. Be kid friendly and keep it at a reasonable level. It was so loud I couldn’t hear my husband trying to express his concern for our girls future ability to us those ears. He had to grab my head and point. Not ok.

You know what? Stadium seating and digital projection is available everywhere now. I want something better than being treated like paying cattle when attending a movie, particularly when it costs nearly $ 20 just to get in the door with a companion.
On our third trip here I finally got fed up with the management’s sneering-​lipped treatment of its customers (not just us). In the particular instance we were at a «sold out» show and got moved three times in the row to accommodate late-​arriving patrons. Well, suppose I WANT to be on the end of the row, for instance, to be able to get a small-​bladdered child to the restroom without disturbing other patrons? I got a classic «Nopology» from the manager in question as he shuffled us around and a tone I can describe only as incredibly hostile. Then, to add insult to insult, when the show started… the first three rows of the «sold out» show were completely empty and the lower level half-​filled. So they’re stupid as well as rude.
If the theaters want to maximize the seating, let them issue reserved seats, or get real ushers again. Or add another showing. I’d be down with that. It’s not my job to leave the seats we’ve arrived early to pick out so you can cram a few other people into the theater.
This was not the first time we’ve had the feeling we were live sardines and were being packed in, and charged for the privilege, at this location but it will be the last.
There’s other stadium seating options in the area and we’ll be using those in the future.

These are pretty new theaters here, and the rocker recliner chairs are sweet!
Just saw hunger games here today, and it was a great movie experience. Worth every penny!

So let me get this straight. I’m going to pay more money than normal so that I have the privilege of watching advertisements before the movie? GET REAL. Advertising should be offsetting the cost of the ticket, not increasing it. That’s how the game is supposed to work, and that’s how it does work in other forms of entertainment: Television, magazines, radio, etc. People pay premiums for HBO, satellite radio, and Consumer Reports because they are devoid of ads. But when it comes to movies, apparently you pay a premium to watch gigantic commercials for television shows. And there is no escape. Because of the stadium seating, the commercials take up your entire field of vision, and the sound is loud enough to drown everything else out. Why is this business model backwards? I can go to the Spectrum and watch a movie for a few dollars cheaper, but they’re just as likely to run someone’s vacation photos as they are slides advertising local businesses. By all accounts, it’s Regal Cinema that should cost $ 8, and Spectrum that costs $ 11. I’m knocking off three stars just for this absurdity.
The seats are comfy, I’ll give them that.

I don’t see a whole lot of mainstream movies, but this is my go-​to theater when I do. The prices are high, but the free movies that come from the Regal Rewards program makes it worth it, and it’s not like there are any other large-​screen, stadium seating theaters that cost less.
They do a good job of making the most of the screens they have, rarely running an excessive amounts of showings for a single movie (with the exception of the hugely hyped summer blockbusters and, even then, only for a week).
I like the crispness and clarity that comes from the digital theater, much more than the booming sound and excessive size of the alternative of an IMAX screen. I prefer not to see 3D movies, but Colonie Center even does them as well as possible.
The snack bar isn’t any more or less healthy or expensive than any other mainstream theater. I like that the displays list the calorie counts of the items. Not that many people pay attention or even notice, but I appreciate the effort they make.
I like that the cup holders on the seats are oversize. Even when I bring my wide travel mug (which I bring everywhere), it fits no problem. The backs of the seats are high enough that you don’t notice the people behind you (unless they kick the seat) and I love that they rock (for when people kick the back of my seat). The stadium seating ensures that there are few, if any, bad seats.
My only complaint is with the ease of leaving the theater/​mall. It’s a serious logistics issue. The down escalator only goes to the food court, at which point you need to seek out the next escalator in the mall. The other option is the elevator which is, I swear, the single slowest elevator on the planet. It takes a solid 5 – 10 minutes for the elevator to come up to the third floor, then get back down to the first. Seriously, WTF with that elevator?

I feel so old saying this but… This place is really expensive! Every movie coming out now seems to be damn 3D costing even more here. I do like the whole regal card deal that you use at the ticket stand as well as the concession that allows you to rack up points towards a free movie pass. (not for 3D movies) Todays visit was for matinée pricing as well as a free pass for my girlfriend.
It can be a real bitch to find parking here so good luck to all, arrive a little early or you could end up doing circles like Clark W. Griswold with Big Ben and Parliament. More than likely you will have to deal with ghetto people & teens or a combination of the two on their cell phones and narrating the movie for you while here. We watched the Fright Night remake which I enjoyed, I like horror. When we left my girlfriends sneakers were going squick squack cause they were sticking to the floor, I think to keep us from leaving. During the day there is no down escalator so the quickest thing to do is ride the elevator to the first floor.

I was really happy with this theater for the most part. The theater is clearly newer and it shows. The seats are comfortable and appropriately staggered (no head tops in front of me). We were there on a weekday afternoon to see Cars 2 in 3D and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly, the theater not too crowded, and no screen mess ups.
My only complaint is that this place feels impossible to get out of. The up escalators take you there easily, but there are no matching down escalators. You have to walk a bit through the mall to get back to the first floor. WTF is up with that!?!
