This theater is the best kept secret in Mesa. It's very clean and the architecture is very appealing. I have to give props to the staff for keeping things as clean as they do.
The auditoriums are large and spacious. Each auditorium has reclining seats which are really nice especially for people who might need the extra comfort while watching a long film.
My mom and I were really impressed by the prices at the snack counter. Up at the Flagstaff Harkins Theatres, movie snacks can cost you an arm and a leg. I feel that the price of snacks at Cinemark 16 is extremely reasonable by comparison.
One nice thing about Cinemark 16 is that you can order tickets online in advance and reserve seats in the auditoriums. This is really convenient, especially if you are trying to view a popular movie like Star Wars. You can also earn point by ordering online or through the app which can be put towards earning food or even a ticket to a movie.
It takes a while to earn the points though and I'm not sure whether or not they expire if they aren't used in enough time. But it is still a nice perk that the theater offers.
One downside is that they often only have their specialty movies (like foreign films or Studio Ghibli movies for example) offered during lunch time when the ticket prices are higher so you always end up paying more for them. That being said, the prices are still very reasonable when compared to other theaters that offer similar showings of select, 3D, foreign, or other specialty films.
If you are in the Mesa area and are looking for a good place to see a movie, I definitely recommend checking out Cinemark 16. It's one of the best theaters in the Valley that we have found.
