The amount of comfort I experienced at this theater was beyond anything I have ever felt in my life. You see, I'm the type of person who helps myself onto the beds that are on display in stores, and I gauge their comfort level with a very fine-tuned set of expertise. So knowing that, you can trust when I say these reclining chairs are actually Barcaloungers. The amount of fluff inside the cushion seat, the back rest, even the head rest, was like a cloud. And while you're floating away into movie oblivion, there are expertly placed privacy walls between each row, making the experience that much more cozy. I don't care how far I have to drive to get there, this is The Theater!

Popcorn is always fresh, buttery, salty and delicious. Long lines at the concession stand tend to move at a steady pace. Prices are competitive but still high - regardless of free refills on soda and popcorn.

Amazing place to watch a 3 hour concert! Went and saw the Seventeen concert with my daughter and it was so comfortable and nice. I have never realized how good their chairs are. Santa was there and was taking pics by a huge tree and spreading holiday cheer. The concert genre was Kpop and for about 10 min when the guys were talking (in Korean) the screen went completely black. we don't speak Korean so for the speaking parts we relied on the subtitles. i let customer service know and they couldn't have been nicer! They gave us 3 movie vouchers for the inconvenience. They serve adult bevs for those who partake. Highly recommend.

Everything about this theater is five star. From the best seats in the central valley, quality projection, and audio, clean and staffed well. Food is great (obviously extremely overpriced, but that's a theater issue that isn't specific to Galaxy).So why the 1-Star Review?It simply, for me, comes down to an annoying practice this theater has implemented that really ruins the whole experience for me... Turning the lights on immediately when the credits roll.This moment is something to be dismissed. It's designed and planned by the filmmakers and is as much a part of the art as any other frame. Christopher Nolan *wants* you to sit in the dark, hearing that score, and soaking in those final bone chilling moments of Oppenheimer. This can also become particularly upsetting in blockbusters with post credit scenes. For example, that emotional mid credits scene in Wakanda Forever. A moment that is important to that film and honors the legacy of that character and the late Chadwick Boseman. All shown with the lights on. This is not to mention it is disrespectful to the cast and crew. I know most people don't bother, but they're wrong. This policy is baffling to me and absolutely messes with the movie going experience. I don't know who this benefits.NOTE: I have brought this up in person to management (the first time I thought it was a huge mistake by whoever ran the lights) and to Galaxy social media. All I got were empty platitudes. I wish they showed more commitment to the art of movies.UPDATE: As you can see, Julie has been kind enough to respond to my concern. It's too bad that it's nonsense. I regularly attend other theaters and they do not do this. And in what way is it a safety concern? People move in and out of darkened theaters all the time.I really hate to give up on an otherwise great theater, but the movie going experience is what matters. They wonder why streaming is winning...

Loved the fact you can rent a theatre and have your own private movie party! We had 25 friends and family to join in on the Barbie fun thanks to @barbievegan arranging the whole thing and providing Barbie goody bags!

The best option when it comes to movie theaters nearby this area. I feel safe bringing my siblings here. Friendly staff. Reclinable seats. Would like to add, very clean. I like to prioritize this theater when taking my siblings to the movies.

IMAX theater is nice. The seats are comfy, but don't really recline and are very well used (seats are very worn down). Their food and alcoholic drinks are good, but they never have enough staff working the counters. Lots of waiting in line to order and waiting for food orders to come out.

By far my favorite theatre in the area. The reclining seats are so comfortable but what sets them apart from other theatre's with reclining chairs is that they have walls dividing each row , so it adds a layer of privacy . Also the 5th of every month is cinco de drinko we're margaritas are only $5.00. The app is easy to use and the sound and picture is great .

We made the 45-mile drive from my home-20 in Livermore because this is the closest theater showing Flashback Cinema and "Smokey and the Bandit" was showing! I'd never even heard of Riverbank before, and wasn't expecting much, but I gotta say this movie theater is awesome! Ample parking, clean restrooms, a little seating area and games in the lobby, standard concessions. And fully reclining motorized seats! I've been moded too many times at my local theater where they say the seats are "luxury reclining" and they just rock back; they don't fully recline with the push button. So the real reclining seats were a big plus for me at Galaxy. We already have plans to come back! We love Flashback Cinema!

Packed with screens and a ton of parking.Something I liked right off the bat, was that tickets were purchased inside, no standing in weather to wait for access.There is a very large snack counter, and then a secondary one that also serves Beer, wine, and a few cocktails.Show your ticket to the usher and you are directed to your theatre screen.I went today to watch Top Gun 2 in Imax.Problem was you pick your seating, but they changed my theatre. So I ended up with good, but not the great reservation I had purchased online.Other than that the seats were very comfortable and there was a snack tray built into the cup holder.The Imax theatre sound system thumps and it puts you right into the movie.I will be back!

We love coming here! It's a little out of the way for us and it's worth it! It's become a recent tradition with my great grandpa. He loves to come along! I love that it's so spacious. I can finally take my 3 year old daughter and she's able to walk around and go from me to my hubby without it disturbing other patrons. Also, the seats are very comfortable and you can recline your seat without it being in the way of others passing by. I also love the selection of food and beverages. We usually get a large popcorn and get free refills along with sodas and candy. We can't wait to come back and watch more movies!

Truly beautiful theater out in the middle of nowhere.A great place with a huge selection of shows and a very impressive IMAX theater for a family experience or a great date night.The large place is clean.The food is very good a little pricey but truly enjoyable popcorn hotdogs and all the ancillary items.Many of the men will be in heaven cause they have a full bar so you can really enjoy the experience from an adult point of view.
