CinemaWest Fairfax Theatre — Local services in Fairfax

I love this theater! I've been coming since I was a kid and there was only one screen. It's still wonderful.

The seats are so comfy! Total recline, spacious butt room, and soft, wide, padded arm rests for everyone. Believe me, these seats are more comfortable than sharing the sofa at home with a dog or another human.

If the movies weren't so good, I'd happily doze off for a cozy nap!

Snacks are the usual suspects for theater fare: overpriced candy and addictive, greasy, mediocre popcorn that is mysteriously delicious.

I love my local theater but they've never had their act together. Need an experienced manager to come in and set...

Terrible service and long chaotic lines every time I go now. Used to love this place, no more. Don’t care about the lounge seats, and you can’t tell from the chart when you choose that what looks like an aisle seat actually requires you walk in from the other end, as there’s a rail blocking. But the worst is the very long lines and not enough staff the last 3 times I’ve gone. Today (xmas eve), ticket sales were only inside, so there were two long lines (one for concessions) in a very small lobby - so just a big scrum. Very slow, after standing in a non-moving line for quite a while I gave up and went to another theatre. Too bad this place is terrible now, and stopped using...
