United Artists Denver West Village 12

We are not very big movie go’ers but when there is a good movie we really want to see in big screen, we come to this location. First off, there cinema doesn’t always seem to be «packed», which in my opinion, is really nice! Secondly, they have a rewards program that entitles you to free popcorn, free drinks etc. For the most part the staff are friendly and the cinema is clean. The only reason I don’t give them a full 5 stars is because their popcorn never taste fresh.

$ 2 popcorn Tuesdays (with a free Regal card) are awesome!

This place is okay I see a lot of old people go to this theater, it’s always slow, barely enough people working. The seats were uncomfortable to sit and after the movie was over I had a backache.

This theatre is a ok. It’s never very crowded and takes only a few minutes to get tickets. If you’re a student, this theater takes the discounted tickets sold at the Colorado School of Mines.
Since it’s not busy, there’s not a lot of staff. The popcorn comes at standard movie theatre prices. The bathrooms are reasonably kept up and the seats are comfy with arm rests that can be moved up and down.

I go to school in Golden, so this theater is quite convenient for me to go to. If I’m ever aching to see a movie, this theater rarely lets me down. The price for a student is $ 10. If you have a regal member card (free), you can currently get $ 1 off of your ticket. So, tickets were $ 9 when I last bought them.
The seats are pretty standard for movie theaters. The food is also pretty standard in my opinion. The popcorn is crunchy and buttery! And I like how it isn’t too salty! I will note that the screens here do seem a little smaller than other theaters I’ve been too.
If you are in the Golden area, this theater is really convenient and will probably work for your needs if you want to see a movie. This place is pretty OK in my book.

They always have the movies that I wanted to see a month ago still playing. Popcorn is good, just not as fresh as some theaters.
Their Regal Club card is the way to go.
Spacious seating and rarely crowded.
My kind of place.

I LOVE THE RECLINING SEATS. Being tall I never have enough leg room and this place rocks with reclining lazy boy type chairs. It’s spoiled me for all other movie venues. PLus you can grab a beer and take it in the theater with you. Love it.

I enjoy summer blockbuster movies. There, I said it. Sure, I appreciate fine «films» too, but I don’t typically go to the theater to see those. Mostly because I don’t feel anything is lost by watching those films on a smaller screen at home. Summer «popcorn» movies on the other hand? Yeah, those lose a ton on the small screen.
While I enjoy the blockbusters, I’m not really a fan of huge crowds at the movies. My thinking is that the more people in the theater, the more likely you are to encounter the won’t-turn-off-my-cellphone-for-anything girl or the I’m-not-bright-enough-to-follow-the-plot-so-I’ll-keep-loudly-asking-questions-to-my-neighbor guy. Worst of all, you could end up having the 6 year old who won’t stop kicking your seat and whose parents have no spine for teaching their kids how to behave in public. My point is, I rarely go to movies during prime movie watching times. I’m the guy that waits 2 weeks to watch those blockbuster movies, and I always go mid-​week.
So that’s how I feel about and view movies. So what? What about United Artists Denver West Theater? It’s a modern day movie theater. It has something like 12 or 14 theaters. Concession stands, video games in the lobby, seats that rock. The seats aren’t the most comfortable, but they are far from UNcomfortable. My shoes didn’t stick to the floor, so that’s a bonus. The best thing I can say about this theater above the other theater I regularly attend is that they get the volume right. It wasn’t overly loud for the movie I saw and yet, I was still able to hear all of the dialogue and understand it. I didn’t leave the movie with Tinitus nor did I feel like a skyscraper had just fallen down around me. What a concept!

Very clean well organzined theater. Its a bit dated perhaps, but just bit. But the soud was good, the chairs were cofy and the upkeep immaculate.

I always get in the wrong line.
Always.
I went to the DMV, saw a short line, hopped in it… it was for farm equipment.
So, today, i get in the long line to buy tickets… waiting…waiting.the line to left is moving faster than sperm swimming to fertilize an egg… but I’m waiting… waiting…the line to the left keeps getting smaller than man parts in cold water… but I’m waiting… waiting…the line to the left disappears quicker than friends when you tell them you need help moving… but I’m waiting… waiting.
Finally, I get to the ticket window.
And I met a gracious old gentleman, who couldn’t have been more personable, energetic, positive and just plain likable. Told me a little about the club program, the movie, the specials. all with a smile and the charm of days gone by.
Finally, I got in the right line!
Great job UA hiring someone who cares about making other people’s day a priority.

I actually really like this theatre. It’s the older of the two in the area, but I was plesaantly surprised. It was very clean, and concessions (which are expensive everywhere) were good. Our theatre was mostly empty, which is always a perk. Also, this is dumb, but I really appreciated that the ushers come in once or twice throughout the movie to check on the exit door and make sure everything’s a-​ok. Call it paranoia, but I appreciated it.

Sis and I came here by accident: she thought the show she wanted to see was showing, and since there was a snowstorm, and it was 14 degrees outside, I voted to stay and see Silver Linings Playbook. So glad we did, but that doesn’t speak to the fact that there were some broken seats in the row we sat in, and the other seats were just ok. Not sure what is up with that, except maybe the theater needs an update.
When the weather isn’t bad, there are some good shops in the same mall that would have been ok to check out.

After the Horrible Experience Across the street. I brought my Canceled movie ticket here to see the Evil Dead. Only to find out the next show time was 2 hrs later. I was upset once again. Because I had plans later that evening. The manager was great and gave me a Re Admit pass since i didn’t want a refund on my card and wanted just to see the Damn Movie.
Which I did at United Artist Downtown on 16^th St Mall, where Ive never had a problem. I will avoid these two from now on which doesn’t make sense to have them right across from each other.

We came here last weekend on Saturday night to see Lincoln (the only theater I could find in the area still showing it, so thank you!).
The theater was clean, sparsely filled (I’m surprised for a Saturday night that it was so empty), and the movie sound was a great level. It was a little chilly, but I had my coat so all was well.
Husband did not like the seats due to the lack of padding, and I didn’t have the same padding issue but the springs or something was a little screwy. Plus the arm rests didn’t raise. I imagine a whole new theater full of seats + installation is not cheap, so until these fall apart they might not be replaced.
The guys at the food counter were hilarious and funny and made me smile. The rest of the staff was also friendly and helpful. And the Sour Patch Kids were soft and chewy, not hard and gross, so that was an added bonus.

I know that many people do not like this movie theater as much as the newer one located in (more like nearer to) the Colorado Mills Mall.
I think it is a perfectly fine theater. I might have seen more movies at the Mills location because they tend to have more mainstream flicks, but it is nice that this theater provides other movie options that aren’t offered at the other location. In fact, the movies at this place tend to be more of the adult movies (i.e., higher MPAA ratings). That doesn’t necessarily translate into worse films, but if you don’t like the younger crowds (me in my mid-​twenties) then this would be more amiable than the Mills location.
In all, it’s a decent place. Service tends to be quite nice and has a good reputation of being a clean theater, in my own experience.

Had to go here as it was the only place that was showing the movie we wanted to see (Chef, which was great!).
$ 8.25 for a matinée. $ 8.25 for a senior price. What a rip off. I know Phil needs the money, but he really makes me pissed off.

Slightly run down. It is as if Phil Anschutz does not care.
The seats are average, but could be more comfortable as some other theaters’ are.
We went here because it was the only place showing the movie we wanted to see.
Probably will never go here again.

The smaller and older of the two Denver West Theatre options, this one tends to have the less-​popular, less big-​budget flicks. (We recently saw Perks of Being a Wallflower there.)
The theatres are clean and updated, and from the looks of it, one even had a balcony! (Remember those?) The screens are on the smallish side, but that matches the theatre size, and for an artsy or smaller flick, it’s fine.
What’s not so fine is the concessions stand. Literally everything we asked for, they were «Out of.» or «The machine is broken.» Oddly, it was the free candy with the Regal Rewards promo points that they were all out of. And… Score… they have Lattes and Mochas and Cappuccinos at *gasp* reasonable prices! ($ 3.50.) …Oh, no, wait, they don’t. The machine is «Out of Order.»
Sigh.
But I can’t really knock a movie theatre for its crappy, overpriced concessions… Because let’s face it… We all sneak in our own anyway.
You can get Regal Points here, and use Regal Rewards, it’s clean, and it’s convenient. So, it’s an A-​OK place to catch a film.

2012 Review #274:
Funny story: When I lived in Greeley, there was a Cinemark (good theater), and a Carmike (Bad, old theater that looked like it should have been a church). However, there was some local legislation that a movie could only be played at 1 theater in town, so half the good movies would always be at Carmike. Good for their business, but bad for everyone who wanted to go to the good theater. It seems that a similar law must exist in Golden, or United Artists is very diligent about splitting their movies up.
I think the only thing that makes this the «crappy» theater is the seats are a little old. You can feel through the upholstery a bit, the theaters are a bit small, and the armrests don’t move. I mean, armrests should move by now, it’s 2012.
One thing we used to love about this theater was that on off days, like weekday afternoons or Sundays, they never employed any ticket takers, and long story short, we saw a lot of free movies. We’re ethical now, but it was awesome for aw hile there. Another nice thing is this theater tends to get the more indie films, like the Master, Moonrise Kingdom, and Miyazaki movies. When we don’t want to drive all the way to the Mayan, this is a nice option, even though it’s not locally owned. My only wish is that if I’m going to see a movie at this theater, instead of the one across the street, which has much nicer seats and theaters, etc., I wish this were just $ 1 – 2 cheaper. I know that’ll never happen, but it would be nice. Oh well, they’re pretty kind here, and the staff didn’t make me throw out my outside drink last time I came. If you were on a date or something, though, I’d probably drive to a better, or at least more interesting and local, theater.

I am biased because I used to work here, and so I like this place more than most theaters. HOWEVER, some things I have noticed in relation to other theaters:
Pros: The popcorn is MUCH better than Belmar or Colorado Mills, the place is kept pretty clean (thanks to my training I’m sure: P), the staff is usually pretty nice, and the place usually isn’t busy enough for there to be lines.
Cons: No free refills on Icees, the seats aren’t as comfy as other places, and while I don’t particularly care, some people might not like the fact that the theater sizes are smaller than that of the Mills.

Holy clean bathrooms, Batman!
I’m used to the deplorable conditions of the bathrooms at UA Stadium 15, and was insanely pleasantly surprised at how CLEAN the ones here are.
Other than that, a theater is a theater is a theater. Business as usual.
