CineLux Plaza Theatre

Great little theater with very reasonable prices. The concessions are good too, just the basics. You can’t beat the prices, although they did just go from $ 5.50 to $ 6.00 matinée prices. Still the cheapest in town.
The theaters themselves are a little old and not remodeled like some of the bigger chains out there. There’s no imax or 3D here, and sometimes the selection is limited if there’s one or two big movies out.
But the prices are great, the workers are nice, and it’s not usually too crowded.

Granted, it’s a discount theater, but right after my last visit I got an eye infection that took 2 weeks of antibiotics to fight. I didn’t make the connection until I read this article on Yahoo News…
The staff are friendly, but a little lack luster. On one occasion I was harangued for using a $ 2 bill. The person at the register thought it was fake and had to check with his manager that it was real money. Some of the employee come across as «special needs», so if that is the case I applaud Cinelux for these hires.

«Hey, I only have 18 bucks left in my account until pay day and we NEED to get out this apartment! I don’t think we should have agreed to babysit the Johnson’s chinchillas and has anyone seen the CAT!?»
–«We could go to the Cinelux theater for a matinée, I even have this free popcorn coupon they emailed me!»
«Ok, are the seats comfortable?»
–«Yep, I fell asleep during the credits once.»
«Solid! Are the floors sticky?»
–«Nope!» «Rad! Is it too cold or too hot?»
«Sometimes it’s a little chilly but that just gives you a good excuse to bring a sweatshirt or to snuggle.»
–«Do they only play the crappy movies?»
«No, actually they have new releases!»
–«Let’s go then, I don’t like the way that chinchilla is looking at me and I still haven’t seen Nutter butter!»
Thumbs up cinelux! Thanks for being WAY better than our surrounding theaters! Even PARKING is a breeze. :)

went to see force awakens here on wednesday, dec 23^rd at 3:30 PM. matinée pricing is $ 6 per ticket before 6 PM, so i went with three friends and we each bought our tickets separately. after enjoying the movie, i did what anyone would and threw away my ticket stub and receipt on the way out.
i check my credit card statement the next day, and i was charged $ 12 (presumably for two tickets). now, i have to file a dispute with my credit card company, and because i tossed the receipt, i may not get my money back.
thanks cinelux!

Okay, so this place is in a strip mall (towards the back of you’re looking near the marquee, with the theaters awkwardly split between two buildings.
Still, you can’t beat the $ 5 – 6 matinée price. Despite being a little drab, the theaters are kept clean and are not usually too crowded.
Great bang for you buck!

Love this place. Small and quiet and only 6 $ matinée. Saved 4 $ a person going here instead of amc. Not as many people go here so lines aren’t as long.

I’m sort of surprised these theaters have managed to stay open this long. They are reasonably adequate but do not have any even remotely modern movie theater creature comforts.
The seats are, well, seats. They don’t rock back at all and the arm rests do not move. They have cup holders that work just fine. The sound in our theater wasn’t particularly loud.
Nonetheless, for the simple viewing of a movie, it works fine. It’s also a little cheaper than your bigger movie theater companies (Cinemark, AMC, etc.).
If it’s convenient and nearby I would return here.

Yeah for cheap theaters! No complaints for what you’re paying. $ 5 and change? It’s cheap so I always go during matinée and I go for my non-​action movies. Saw Inside Out here and loved it.

Nothing lux about this theatre. Freezing, old and I now have a kink in my neck from looking up the whole time.

This place is cool. I’m very happy it is still around. I used to come here with my mama when I was little. They do a good job to keep it clean. Seats are clean and normal. It’s nothing really to call home about, but for how old it is and the minimal revisions, they do a damn good job. My bf and I come here all the time and it’s a very calm place, you don’t feel rushed like other movie theaters

Our last minute choice because we were on a time schedule and this theatre had the time we needed. Bf and I had never been here before, and probably won’t be back.
Customer service is excellent, prices are cheap and I enjoyed the movie but the theatre itself has a weird layout. The screen is not high enough to see for little ones if ur mid section or in the back. The screen in the movie theaters are supposed to sit high up on the wall and this one does not.
And they don’t have icee slurpees :(

We love this little theater. They don’t always have ALL of the movies and they don’t have giant theaters. What they also don’t have is exorbitant prices. We always go for the matinée price (before 6pm) and for the 3 of us to watch a movie, it’s $ 16.50. That beats the hell out of the Oakridge mall. No thank you, mall parking!

I love it because it’s close and old school 70’s kinda cheap frills consistent all the way around. Don’t expect much but dirty carpet and you’ll be fine! It’s convenient and yes on the lower end of local theatres.

A movie theater that needs a touch up from chairs to screen to audio. But 5.50 $ before 5pm is a good deal. For that I’ll give it a 4 stars

Love me the Plaza. Cheap tickets ($ 4.50 on Tuesdays!), no crowds (parking is a breeze), good popcorn and snack selection, and new releases. The seats aren’t the best and the screens are not ginormous by any means, but that just adds to the charm (?) of this place. Plus it’s clean and only a short drive from my casa.

Of all the times I’ve been here, there haven’t been any issues with crowds.
Pros:
+ Well kept, no visible trash anywhere
+ Friendly service
+ Low crowds
+ Ample parking
Cons:
— Easy to drive past this place and not notice the theatre at all
— Seats are outdated, but least of my worries.

Nice theater. A bit older but shows new releases. Employees are friendly. I notice they are constantly making fresh popcorn. $ 5.50 for a daytime movie. Relatively clean. Though the women’s bathroom was out of order today. Plenty of parking in the parking lot. I like this theater because it is easy to get to and I don’t have to fight the crowds like some of the other theaters around.

Cheap and current movies. Its in an interesting plaza and the movies are played in two separate theaters in buildings across from each other. Popcorn is crazy expensive, place is a bit rundown, and it’s a little confusing as to which theater to enter. However it’s solid and affordable. Bathrooms are not so nice but you’re not there for the bathroom XP

+ $ 5.50 all movies (even first runs!!) before 5pm
+ low crowds
+ good quality sound and screen, no skipping or glitches
+ next to Dollar Tree and Safeway
+ plenty of parking
— expensive concession stand foods – head to the $ 1 store around the corner!
— if wearing shorts, the seats can be a little scratchy in that they’re not a soft fabric, but that’s not much of a deal breaker for me.
I can’t believe I’ve lived my whole San Jose life without knowing this theater was here! It’s kind of tucked away in the back (around the corner from the Dollar Store!!) and honestly… I followed the popcorn smell to find the theater, NO SHAME. Butter ftw.
It’s easy to sneak food in as no one really checks, so head to Safeway or $ 1 store that’s in the main part of the plaza. The man at the counter is a cute old guy who’s missing some teeth. Made it feel like a family company honestly… and I like that about the establishment.
It’s a small theater, but if comparable to the non-​AMC ones and I don’t think it’d make a difference unless you want IMAX or 3D. There’s low crowds during the day time and you can’t beat the price. Some viewers have said it was dirty, but I had a really good experience here, the floors were clear and the chairs seemed clean. I would rather pay $ 5.50 for this adorable theater than drive further to a «fancy» AMC or pay even more at Santana Row for really… no good reason at all! This is a winner!

If you don’t mind small screens and a some dirty atmosphere, this theater still has decent ticket prices and new, popular movies.
I’ve been coming here for a long time with my family when we want to go to a movie, but don’t want to pay big box office prices.
Although there is a sign that says, «please no outside food,» we still go to the nearby Dollar Tree and get cheap candy and cash for our movie.
Great cheap date or family outing.
