Cinemark Salt Lake 16

This Cinemark has an ample amount of uncovered parking with adequate lighting to keep you feeling safe and leaving your car worry-free. The lobby area smells like traditional, yummy Cinemark popcorn — it really helps you shift gears from daily life and places you in the perfect mood for an enjoyable movie experience. Where they fall short, like most Cinemarks here in Utah, is on their concessions. Although the popcorn and kettle corn are quite delicious, the pizza is a far distant friend from good, and the food selection is almost non-existent. The pretzel bites are good — not spectacular — and the nachos fall beneath those of your local gas station. My advice is to have dinner before you arrive. There's plenty of yummy candy and soda to keep most moviegoers happy. Walking through the poster-themed hallway, I couldn't help but notice how clean everything was. It prompted me to check the restrooms — they were a spot-on match to the cleanliness of the rest of the theater. After locating our screen and settling in, I found the seating just as clean and comfortable. Cinemark seats offer comfortable heated seating. The reclining chairs are a near-perfect soft, but the fully reclined position can place you in a slightly awkward spot that takes up some valuable movie time before finding that much desired comfortable position. The universal reclining position isn't the best, and unfortunately that earns Cinemark a minor ding on their rating. The screening rooms are comfortable in size with adequate spacing of each row. Because of the divider wall behind each row, it creates an enjoyable privacy that places you in front of the screen like you're the only one there. Let's face it — there are far too many people on their phones during movies these days. It's distracting and can become highly irritating. The divider walls eliminate that frustration, and I love it. The sound quality was fantastic and the visuals are just the same. The screen is larger than life. It works its magic to immerse you into the movie, placing you right in the center of the wonderful world of film. The photos show the standard sized movie houses with the exception of the entrance to the XD screen. The video clip shows the XD screen itself! They've done an excellent job at keeping this Cinemark one of my favorite places to catch a movie in the Salt Lake Valley. A much deserved thank you to management and staff for caring about this movie house. Great job!
