For years, the closest movie theater to me was the Thanksgiving Point Megaplex. I forgot how nice movie theaters can be until I went to this Cinemark. That is not meant to knock Megaplex at all. I am simply saying that Cinemark is more up-to-date, and I appreciate that.
This Cinemark location is in a wonderful location. We went to Sol Agave for dinner and then we were able to pop right into the theater from there. There is other places to eat dinner in the area so you don't have to drive very far to the movies afterwards. Also, there is a Five Below right across the street in case you want to have snackies with your movie.
This Cinemark in particular also has an arcade to the left when you walk in. This is an awesome added feature that not all current theaters have. They have your typical overpriced concessions. I found they had Peace Tea here, which is something that I didn't think was in Utah at all. So I did end up getting a can of Peace Tea for a whopping $5 lol. My friends and I also all split one of the kettle corns. I am not sure how many other theatres do this but we have found that Cinemark has the tastiest, highest quality kettle corn. I prefer it over the regular butter popcorn to be honest!
The seating was extremely comfortable. As I mentioned in the beginning of this review, that is what I love about Cinemark's. The seating is always super spot on! The movie was great as well. I need to keep Cinemark in mind for my next outing.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Shelby M.Folsom, CA0729Nov 25, 2023
Here for the new Hunger Games movie and our seats are sticky and stained, and the cup holders have dried up sticky soda all over them, and food in them. The lack of cleanliness makes it difficult to get comfy to see the new movie!!!

I typically visit the Cinemark closer to me in West Jordan, but the movie that I wanted to see was only playing at a decent time in American Fork, so I made my way out there. It's nice to have options!
I am a member of the movie club, so buying a ticket is super easy, and I can select my seat from my phone. It turns out that a Monday night is a perfect time to have the theater to yourself-which is just what I experienced. It's pretty nice to be able to stretch out and take up all the space I want.
Speaking of space, I love the reclining seats. However, like another reviewer said, the back reclines just enough to tease you. I would have loved it if it would recline just a bit more.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Kathryn C.American Fork, UT093Feb 8, 2023
Movies are great. The lines for popcorn are always slow and the last 3 or 4 times the lobby had burned popcorn- never a good sent.

No refills of large popcorn anymore and the seats although they recline suck compacted to the Edwards and amc theaters this theater fails on every level

Pros:
- Comfy leather chairs
- ample parking
- lots of food near by
- great after church movie spot!
The last movie I watched before quarantine got was The Invisible Man. The theater was packed and excited to see this suspense thriller. I lived the sound of people gasping or yelling at the screen. I miss the community that is brought together when watching a movie in the theater.
What I like about this theater in particular is how close it is to great shopping- Home Goods, TJ Max's, Marshall's, Michaels, and Bed Bath and Beyond! It is also right off the freeway so it's easy to get to and easy to get home.
The staff is nice and the theater is very clean. They do have a great deal if you have their membership which I have considered many times- maybe after all this is over, I will get it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ben H.Pleasant Grove, UT46214365May 27, 2019
Best place to see a movie in the AF/Lehi/PG area. What really sets this Cinemark apart is that every theater has recliner seating with comfortable, wide, & customizable reclining positions and all at regular price.
Great sound & digital picture quality. I've seen tons of movies here and never experienced technical difficulties. Good viewing angles from all seats.
For concessions, I like that they have both regular popcorn (butter can be added) and kettle corn. I actually like a mix of both. They have a reusable cup for drink refills which is a good deal and all large popcorns include a free refill.
Staff is usually pretty good for this pay rate. If there was anything I wish they could improve at this theater, it would be to carry more of the less popular releases. I would rather come here for all my movies but have to travel to other places because if it isn't a major blockbuster, it won't play here. I'd love to see Fathom Events, indie's, & more eclectic releases you typically have to go to Jordan Commons or Cinemark 16 in Provo to see.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Dani R.Salt Lake City, UT14267169Jun 15, 2019
So far everything was great! The area was clean and the seats were recliners and the employees were very nice and professional.
However, the cushion that was on the recliner felt a little uncomfortable on my neck (awkward position for my neck and head). Other than that, everything was great. Could also do a bit better with food items, wasn't too impressed by the options. I'm giving it five stars because the main niche for the business is movies (big plus - not too many people), food is something I get before the movie in my opinion. If you are wanting to get good food options at a theater, I'd try Megaplex.
Saw MIB International and although the movie had great surround sound, it wasn't that good, I don't recommend watching it...was a bit predictable and honestly wasn't that funny or entertaining. There's more I could say, but that's for a YouTube video rant haha!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Julie J.UT, UT02Sep 23, 2022
Two and half years after Covid and they still aren't offering refills on drinks or popcorn. And no self serve butter on your popcorn so if you need extra butter you have to wait in line to get it. Lastly the seats are just not comfy. They don't recline in the back more than a few inches so I get a kink In my neck after about 30 minutes.

We received a few tickets as a prize and decided to make it a family affair. We have gone a few times in the past but typically choose a different franchise for many different reasons, here's why.
We have never been impressed with the concessions. The popcorn is rarely fresh maybe it because they aren't super busy and don't have a need to pop it fresh often. The steps up to our seats were steep and the stairs themselves were tall. It's hard for me these days to climb stairs and I almost couldn't make it to our seats. Many people talk highly about the recliner seating but I find them very uncomfortable. I find that the cushion behind your head makes your head sit forward in a weird position enough that my neck hurt when I left. I also sometimes prefer to just sit normal with my feet on the floor but couldn't do so because the seat is far too long making it so my feet couldn't touch the ground.
We didn't have so much of an awful time we just prefer other theaters over this one. The staff was pleasant but not super friendly and actually seemed disturbed when we asked them questions.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
