Regal UA Denver Pavilions 4DX & RPX
Downtown's only remaining multiplex, up on the third level of the Pavilions.
The last movie theater actually in downtown Denver, up the escalators on level three of Denver Pavilions at 16th and Glenarm. Recliner seating throughout, an RPX large-format house and a 4DX room with moving seats and water spray, which is either the whole reason to come or the reason to book a different screen. Regal has closed several metro locations since the parent company's bankruptcy, but this one is still posting showtimes daily. Weeknights are near empty, which makes it the rare theater where a walk-up ticket still gets you a good seat.
Why go. If you want to see a film downtown without driving, this is the only option left.
Weeknight screenings run close to empty; buy at the door and take the center recliners rather than paying to reserve ahead.
