Regal Cinemas Kendall Village 16 IMAX & RPX

Probably my favorite theater in Miami. Tickets are as expensive as expected, drinks more expensive than the popcorn (surprisingly), but that is negligible. As for the theater themselves, while a little dirty, I think its worth it due to the quality of the speakers. The BOOMING audio really makes the theater experience worth it. Lots of movies and movie times and good audio/​video quality is all that matters.

This is the theater we usually go to. Is nice and clean. We usually buy tickets in advance and now use the assigned seating which is a God send. When I have bought tickets at to counter or needed help inside, everybody has been great.

This is probably my favorite movie theater in Miami.
The location is great as it’s right smack in the heart of Kendall and is right off of the turnpike. They have both an IMAX screen and an RPX screen. The IMAX screen goes toe to toe with the one at Sunset in terms of quality of projection and sound. If you buy an IMAX ticket for a big movie, they offer signed seating some times, which is great because you get to avoid making lines just to get a good seat. While the RPX screen is a little smaller than the IMAX one, the seats are bigger and leather, so it is the most comfortable ticket in the house.
They always keep the theaters themselves clean, which is a huge plus for me.
The concession stand is great as well. This theater is located in the middle of a shopping center with various restaurants surrounding it, so it is very convenient to do dinner and a movie.

Great movie theater. Parking garage is right behind the theater so easy access, just a little walk to the front. You can purchase tickets either outside with the ticket clerk or the electronic machine wgich also available outside. If you have a regal rewards card you usually get a free small soda or popcorn with your purchase. Now the concession stand for me is always a long wait, but they’ve added alot of goodies to their menu and if your hungry the options are grand and be prepared to spend some money, cause it ain’t cheap. The theater itself is very large and clean. There’s even a little area they have video games and another area available for private kids parties. The seats are comfy and come complete with surround sound. Some movies (for a higher price) are available in high definition and 3D which is nice but not neccessary for all movies. All in all this theater is close to home, has different dining options surrounding it and is in a shopping plaza for your shopping pleasure.

Horrible experience. I went during spring break, ³⁄₂₁ at about 2:50 pn. You would thing they would have more staff even if it was matinée. Lines were long and only one person at ticket booth. The manager (a man with a beard) came out like 3 x to help the cashier with a coupon issue and you would think common sense was to help the line mive faster by opening another register but nope. Then the food line was probably worse. Stood in line for about 20 min.

This theater is always clean, lots of parking, and plenty of snacks at the concession. Not sure why people expect amazing service since it’s mostly teenagers who work here but in my opinion they get the job done. I love the Regal Crown Club card and I often get free movie tickets or free items for the concession stand. It does get very full on weekends so I prefer to attend during the weeknight or matinée.

Great movie! Not a lot of people and getting our snacks was very quick to grab. Enjoyedthe armrest going up to give a more comfortable feel while watching the movie. Will come again!

My son loves coming to the movies and this is the closest theater we have around so we usually end up here when we decide to take him.
You can purchase tickets outside in the windows but I prefer to buy inside on the machines as there’s usually less people there.
Movie theater food is obviously nothing out of this world and definitely overpriced. I do love me some jalapeño poppers and my son loves popcorn.
Do I think coming to the movies is pretty much a rip off and think about coming twice? Sure! But my husband and I love seeing my son happy and the experience is a must sometimes.

I can honestly say I’m about the pickiest movie goer ever. I love movies so for me the ambiance and place just have to be right.
I gave Kendall regal 4 stars just because of the long lines. This is our family theater when cine bistro doesn’t play kid movies during the day. The theater is extremely clean and for the most part the staff is always friendly and inviting. But between the concession lines and ticket lines the waiting is just too much. Even the line at the 4 kiosks they have gets backed up. There is always a machine or two down and at the concessions they should really think about having all registers open during busy times.
Do I keep coming back? Yes.
Their bathrooms are usually pretty clean and well stocked. There is usually tons of parking since they have a parking garage in the back and the location is easy to find. The seats are comfy and pretty spaced out for a regular movie theater.
The concession stand has a pretty good selection and their popcorn always taste fresh. Prices are a bit on the expensive side but that’s to be expected.

Why would you spend $ 14 to see a movie here and then spend the movie staring at your phone screen? If this stuff bothers you, please don’t say anything. This is Miami. They’re likely to physically assault you or worse. And don’t bother asking an usher to help you because they won’t tell a customer to stop texting or talking on the phone. I’m not asking you to kick him out. Just to abide by the rules. There are signs outside each theater advising customers not to text. If you’re so important that you can’t be away from your phone for 2 hours, consider becoming a Netflix subscriber. Wait for it to come out on blu-​Ray. You’re not the only person in the theater, and other people paid good money to see a movie. And if you’re going to text, SIT IN THE BACK. TURN THE BRIGHTNESS DOWN. But really, PLEASE DON’T. And seek professional help, because you have a problem. I hope you get text neck. You know what happens when you get text neck? Chronic headaches. Herniated discs. Pinched nerves. Early arthritis. Loss of good bowel and peristaltic function and evacuation. Reduced lung capacity and, consequently, heart and blood vascular disease. Maybe if you saw a movie every now and then and stopped texting throughout it, you can avoid this malady. But if you do text throughout the movie, you probably deserve it.
Also, the seats are uncomfortable and the prices are higher than AMC. I’ve been to AMC theaters, and they actually ask texting patrons to stop on your behalf.

Stadium seating? Check
Clean floors when the movie starts? Check
Ample free parking behind the theater? Check
Reserved seating so that you don’t have to arrive hours before your movie starts? Almost. They have it for some showings.
Now for the problems:
The concessions line moves way too slowly. Even when it seems well-​staffed, there seems to be some sort of inefficiency that makes everything take forever. I don’t think it is necessarily the employees, but just the whole process. Maybe have one person ring up while another gets the snacks? Other times, they are woefully understaffed. When I went to see Jurassic World on opening night, I had to abandon the concession line because it wasn’t moving and the movie was about to start. My party was ready to pony up at least $ 20 for overpriced popcorn, soda, and high blood pressure, and we didn’t even get the option to do so.
Minor complaint: half the entrance doors are always randomly locked, so I look silly trying to open a bunch of locked doors before I find one that opens. Can’t all the doors just be in use? Are they conserving hinge oil? Just unlock all the doors.

Easy parking, friendly staff, and clean theaters. These three factors make this my most frequently visited theater, although the lack of a full-​sized 70 mm IMAX screen makes me choose the Autonation IMAX in Ft. Lauderdale for the bigger productions. This theater does have an RPX IMAX for digital 3D shush is shiny and new.
I saw Hateful Eight here recently projected on 70 mm film in a standard theater… The projection crew did a great job. I hope to see future non-​digital movies here now that they have resurrected that equipment!

As a theater Regal does very well. Its got big screens and the RPX systems are a nice upgrade. Their prices are movie theater normal, which means crazy expensive. The big issue with this theater is the upkeep. Its always dirty and the bathrooms tend to be a horror show. I still prefer the AMC at Sunset Place or the Regal in Licoln Road, but in a pinch its an OK experience.

Not a bad over theater. It’s conveniently located in the Kendall area. Prices are not terrible for the movies. The food is very pricey though as many movie theaters are now a days. Anyway, the screens look good and the sound is good too. Wish they would stop sending people with flashlights during the movie.

We decided to head out to the theater for an afternoon flick after complete exhaustion of the daily afternoon downpour. Not feeling the drive to Dolphin Mall (Cinebistro-​my fav.), we opted for an IMAX movie. Great decision!
It’s a Monday, so of course, there is no one here. Walked up to the ticket booth and a very friendly ticket attendant assisted me. Since I selected an IMAX movie, he suggested his favorite seats which I very much appreciated. Lucked out and didn’t realize that I must have had points on my Regal card because I scored a free small popcorn and soda. If you don’t already have one, get a Regal Crown Card (free) and use it every time you buy tickets and concession food. You accumulate points and receive a variety of free food items including movie tickets.
Upon arriving at our seats, he was completely right, my row was perfect and centered to the screen. This being my first IMAX (non 3D) movie, I was very impressed. The sound was loud, crisp and just right. The screen, much larger than the normal theater. We saw Mission Impossible so the movie didn’t disappoint either. Something I learned today, the IMAX theatre requires you to pick your seats upon purchasing your tickets. I can see where this is a huge advantage on a weekend.
Bathrooms are roomy and the theater seemed tidy. I can’t speak about the weekend experience but I’ll definitely be back. IMAX was a bit pricey but a nice treat for the right movie.

What can I say… it is pricier than most matinees and the seats are stiff and smell a bit musty BUT… parking is easy, the place is as clean as it can reasonably get and the crowds are manageable no matter the hour of the day you go. In terms of service, the people here are nicer than in Dolphin Mall (:shudder!!!:)

This location is convenient for my family as we live nearby. It’s well kept. Service can improve and I know that they can’t do anything regarding the prices of their concession but it’s high. Other than that, I have no complaints. Make sure you use your regal rewards card to earn points for future free movies or free snacks.

I cannot believe I have not reviewed this movie theater, though in all fairness, I have only been here perhaps 2 or 3 times, and the reason why is the parking. It is AWFUL! Not only is there barely any parking nearby, but as you drive to find the closest spots, since there’s a Chuck E. Cheese nearby, you may find kids bolting out in front of your car and people backing out without looking. If you’re planning to come here for a movie, then plan ahead because of this reason. There are a few lots in the shopping center that say «no movie theater parking», to make matters worse. Yes, there is a garage, but it also gets full. If it rains, good luck. You know everyone will be parking there and if you park in an outdoor lot, be prepared to walk in puddles, as they seem to have poor drainage.
The movie theater itself is okay. Lines can be quite long at the ticket purchasing area and the concessions. There are no matinée prices, so don’t bother rushing in early in the afternoon and thinking you’ll get a discount. The small drinks are actually wide, so a small is plenty for drinking in a 2-​hour movie. I don’t think they have free refills like they do at Aventura, or if they do, no one said anything. The line to show your tickets and enter is extremely disorganized with people just gathering around and making it a free-​for-​all. The 3D glasses they use here are slanted and are extremely uncomfortable. They are not like those used in every other theater in South Florida. They hurt my nose as they didn’t sit right, and left a line. The sound system is pretty impressive if you catch an RPX film. That’s really what makes this theater stand out from the rest of the theaters in the southern part of Miami-​Dade County. Weird fact: they hold church services here on Sundays. Yup. Talk about odd.

This place was a total letdown! Since it’s the nearest theater to us, we were hoping it would be nice. Our first experience here was so bad that I’d rather drive the extra 20 minutes to AMC Sunset Place 24.
Disgusting bathrooms at 1:50 pm. It’s practically empty here, so it’s not like the staff is too busy to clean them.
The woman at the ticket booth, Brittany, was so incredibly rude. She had a nasty attitude, and couldn’t even be bothered to respond to a question that I asked her. She didn’t even acknowledge that I had spoken, she just shook her head once and barked out our ticket total. I had to ask her again since I didn’t actually get an answer, and she responded with such a rude tone of voice. I was really taken aback by her nasty attitude.
We went to see a movie in 3D, and had to walk out after the first 2 minutes. They must have forgotten to place a lens on the projector because with our 3D glasses on, we were unable to clearly see anything on the screen. Everything was either green or red, and completely blurry. Without our glasses on, it was just as bad. We had to switch to the regular screening of the movie, which was scheduled for 45 minutes later. Such a bummer.
It was honestly just one bad thing after the next, after the next. We will definitely not be returning.
UPDATE: To be fair, they fully refunded our tickets, which I appreciated. Still won’t be going back though.

It has been a while since I came to the movies, and it will be a while before I step foot in one again.
This movie theater is packed, I assume it is like this every weekend, and yet the service over at the food stand was horrific. The wait time for a bag of popcorn and drink was over 45 minutes long. Staff is not well trained, and popcorn machine was broken, leaving only one of them to work which caused mayor delays.
The floors of area outside theater are sticky and dirty, as where the bathrooms. With the high volume of costumers this theater accommodates, they should have someone attending the restrooms more as well as providing proper cleaning of all areas, after all… movie tickets are running for $ 11.50 per person now a days, they should provide better accommodations at that cost.
Touching on customer service once again, there was not one person open to answering questions or guiding anyone to proper lines. To reach anyone, a line must be formed — a huge line that is.
Overall… terrible experience.
Ps: there was no ice for soda. Seriously???
