The Coolest Movie Theaters in Orange County

Here’s something you probably missed during the primary days of the lockdown: going to the movies! Now that the theaters have reopened, we definitely recommend catching some of the amazing flicks that have recently been released!

Here are the coolest Orange County movie theaters you should check out for your 2022 list of things to do in Orange County:

Regal Theater Irvine Spectrum

This unbeatable movie theater located in the Irvine Spectrum is one of a kind movie theater. Located inside of the best outdoor shopping center in all of Orange County, you just can’t beat this movie theater with its multiple viewing options including the IMAX, 3D, and even VIP (21+ only)! 

“I have a strong love for cinema so coming to the theatre is always an experience to be shared. The remodeled Regal lobby is very spacious. The recliner VIP seats are the only way to watch movies nowadays when making a tangible comparison to sitting at home. The audio does come in a bit hot and the projectors could use an alignment post-pandemic return so hopefully, they get a tune-up for big releases at the end of the year.” – Chris S, Irvine

AMC Tustin 14 at The District

We honestly can’t get enough of AMC theaters in general, and this particular one takes the cake. It really does have that classic movie theater vibe plus we’re in love with the reclining seats.

“This is my fav movie theater. We’re temporarily living in an apartment within walking distance from here and I go see a movie anywhere from 1-3 times a week. Love the comfortable recliners, that they seem to do a good job of keeping them in good working order (unlike the outlet of another higher-end cinema chain that is closer to our permanent home in South OC.)” – Juanita M., Lake Forest

Starlight Cinema City Theaters (Anaheim)

The name itself already makes us want to go there for ourselves! We can’t get enough of some of its stunning scenery based on the photos alone! 

“My first real movie experience since COVID. I was invited here for a free screening of I WANT YOU BACK (Amazon Studios) for a Yelp Elite event. It was cool they had a photo booth.  The movie was great. I enjoyed a small popcorn and drink for $13.” – J’aime K., Irvine

Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas (Laguna Niguel)

You’ll get a kick out of the in-theater dining and the super comfy seats here fit for a king. You will be able to truly relax and leave your life behind for a little bit. The next time you’re looking for things to do in Orange County for your birthday or anniversary, why not come here?

“I wanted to see the difference between my favorite AMC and this establishment.  Well, hands down your franchise won.  My host Ryan was on point and he treated us V.I.P STYLE.  The drinks were upscale and so was the menu. I wish I had not eaten breakfast. I sure would have ordered those tacos on the menu. Until next time keep up the good work. And promote Ryan.” – Letrecia A., Compton
