Edwards Big Newport 6

Regardless of how good a movie is, it’s a huge turn off and buzzkill to see a disgusting piece of gum stuck on the seats, near where your head is, at the end of the movie when the lights come on. See picture to see how obvious it is.
Now when you’re paying like $ 17 to see a movie and then leave the theater with that last impression, who would want to go back?
Management and maintenance need to do a more thorough job in cleaning and double-​checking the place, unless people like leftover gum during the movies.

Great theater, wasnt expecting the reclining seats. It was super clean and everyone was helpful and pleasant, hats off!

Great location across from fashion island, huge comfy recliner seats, what more can you ask for. Slightly more expensive than your average movie ticket, but well worth it. My only problem is that if you are in the large RPX theatre the seats aren’t stadium seats so your view of the bottom of the screen could be obstructed if you get someone in front of you who is tall or with a large head.

I wish I could give them 5 stars because I love the new renovations and love going here but… The variety of movie choices are very limited. Many times all the movies are low in ratings like under 20% and they play a lot of kid movies. They might have a very current movie and then the rest are low in ratings and they play for 2 or 3 weeks. Need more current movies that are above 50%.

Haven’t been to this theatre since they remodeled it. Remodel is nice, once you get past the hellish ticket purchase situation. Only one worker at prime time on a Sunday. The line keeps getting longer, but no additional employees are summoned to help. Once you finally reach the human, it’s a whole situation for people to figure out where they want to sit and select seats. Ugh! Then, a line of 30+ people waiting to purchase food. Ugh! Definitely not worth the wait for popcorn. The theatre seats are spacious and comfortable, but all the other negatives make watching a movie at home way more desirable.

Great place. The reclining seats are comfy and wonderful. Aisles are wide, the place feels old school nice. Great service, relaxing and close to great restaurants at fashion island. A great place to experience theater comfortably.

Horrible service, the kid at the ticket stand sold me a 6:10 movie ticket when it was already 7pm. I then went to the stand to change and had to pay $ 8 more because the next showing was 3D. The person who normally rips the tickets at the door was very unaware and chose to speak to a girl who appeared to be a friend. Keep in mind he didn’t even say hi just a «thank you». Although I must say the manager at the concession stand did offer a free popcorn size upgrade.

After going and seeing a movie here in Newport at a luxury theater I simply cannot ever return to a regular movie theater this is set up for complete comfort. I love that they have service to your seat you can get drinks great food without moving and missing a second of a great movie, they have revolutionized watching movies for adults. Job well done putting this together at first I wasn’t too sure but this however it is the only way I can see a movie now. I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to watch a movie in a comfortable clean setting.

The seats here are definitely great and super comfy! But … this just doesn’t compare to The Port Theater and The Island Cinema. To me, this is just a regular movie theater with awesome seating. The food is just blah.

Best theater in area. Great remodel with reclining seats and lots of space. Location is wonderful with great places to grab a bite before or after the show.
Buy tickets on line and avoid lines (busy theater) and whiz right in with your smartphone.

Wow!!! What a fabulous theatre. From the reclining chairs to the great sound all the way to top food selection and terrific customer service. Big Newport is a first class experience.

Saw Creed yesterday. Nice theater. Super nice reclining seats. Select your own seats. Parking was better than I expected. I like that the theater is in sections. During the movie, the theater was a little in the cold side.

Went to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 3D here. Seats are incredible. My wife and I felt like being «kids» and getting 2^nd back from front row (no way we’re sitting way in the back!). Reclining leather (?) seats are so comfy that there was no neck strain at all and the Dolby surround is incredible as well.
As others have said, I don’t think I will ever go to a mall theater again for new movies.
Reserve your seats and don’t worry about finding a place to sit when you get there.
Theater food fare is about the same for a typical Regal cinema.
Not just cup holders, but TRAYS! (No alcohol, though, but «small potatoes» IMHO.

Recliners, tray tables, large bathrooms… what else do you need?

This place is great! I’m never going back to regular movie theaters. Once you’ve experienced and been spoiled by the recliners and the spaciousness of the aisles, you’re never going back. It’s a smaller location and the times are limited but what they lack, they more than make up for by utilizing the space that they do have.
Come check it out. It’s a great way to spend some time and catch a movie.

This place only deserves a 1 star because despite the great seating, The place that is overflowing with staff can’t even check in in their theater during the movies. A mother that took her kids to the theater disrupted the movie for many many people including myself and I even had to look for a staff member to talk to her. Obviously the mother went back to her phone after the staff member left. And she was on her phone with a big @$& screen for 45minutes!!! You would think that the staff member would periodically check or even wait in the aisle to make sure the situation was resolved but obviously not. For the price of18 $ just for the movie alone you’d have a nice movie watching environment. Think again… I attached a bad picture to this (didn’t use flash because I didn’t want to disrupt other people around me.

The only thing you need to know: Huge, comfortable, leather reclining seats.
Guaranteed smile when you can lay back, kick your feet up and relax to watch a movie with killer surround sound.
Warning: There’s a $ 1.50 surcharge per person if you’re trying to use prepaid premier tickets.

Newport Beach, you never cease to amaze me with the type of lavishness that ensues within your city limits. I randomly came here to catch a mid day matinée. The movie happens to be straight outta compton. I figured where is the safest place to see this movie? Of course Newport Beach. Jk. I came to this theatre because the show time was perfect for my time table. I pulled up and there were very few cars in the lot, score I love having a theatre to myself. First impression sticker shock, $ 15 for a matinée? But I figured ok fine Newport prices. I picked my seat at the register on a screen that clearly illustrated how massive the theatre I was going to be in was. I walk in and saw that the theatre had some kind of special rpx sound system. This wasn’t really an action movie so I didn’t think it really mattered. I walked into the theatre one and was stunned. As far as the eye can see there seemed to be endless rows of plush leather seats. I had no idea. I happened to pick row J which was the best row. Everything was super clean and orderly. The trays were returned to its resting spot and cleaned off. The seats felt more plush than my bed and reclines to about 95% of laying horizontally. This. Was. Life. The sound system was so advanced that whenever a song played with bass, you physically felt it.
Oh Ya and the bathrooms were immaculate.

I’ve been coming here for years and always a great experience. Awesome knowing Fashion Island is across the street and with less than 5 minutes a beautiful library and a gorgeous beach. Edwards Big 5 was just renovated and it is so awesome. It smells so fresh and clean and like leather and wood. The reclining seats are heavenly with huge aisles for your legs and a cool turn around tray for food and drinks. Doorman is always friendly wearing the coolest, theme ties. Love this theatre.

Let me just say first… reclining seats! I wanted to find a theater that has one that’s not too overpriced, and this was it. We watched Jurassic World here in 3-​D. It was around 16 – 17 per ticket. The glasses are the ones that are in blue and red, and it felt really weird at first when they were playing the trailers because it didn’t look 3d. At first, we thought they were trying to jip us, but when they turned off the rest of the lights, everything was ok.
I love how the seats recline electronically. You push a button and it slowly reclines back. Pretty awesome. And each seat has a small table in front for your to put your stuff. Plenty of leg room. They are still undergoing renovation, but so far so good! I had a good time here.
