Back to the movies? These are the best cinemas in NJ

If you're willing to spend the money to bring your date or family to the movie theater for a new flick, you might as well try to get the best experience possible.

From the comfort of the seating and the sound in the theater, to the quality of the restrooms, many factors can influence one's experience at the cinema.

Luckily, New Jersey consumers love to talk about them all on review websites such as Yelp.

Below is a list of New Jersey movie theaters that have received many reviews from consumers and are recording a score of at least 3.5 stars out of 5.

This list is devoted to theaters that have multiple showtimes for multiple films throughout each day, as opposed to hyper-local operations that may feature only one movie each day, on one screen.

Marquees Cinemas Orchard 10 — Toms River (4 stars)

Address: 1311 Route 37, Toms River

Review from Denise in Barnegat:

"One of my favorite theaters! Spacious seats that recline, great snacks, and extremely clean! I love the fact you can purchase tickets ahead of the movie and pick your seats. The theater also has [an] excellent sound system."

Reading Cinemas Manville with Titan Luxe (4 stars)

Address: 180 N. Main St., Manville

Review from Jason in Sayreville:

"Very cozy, clean theatre with comfortable leather recliner seats. Tip: go on Tuesdays for half day pricing."

AMC Marketfair 10 — Princeton (3.5 stars)

Address: 3521 US-1, Princeton

Review from Zhenya in Princeton:

"Movie rooms are clean with well maintained bathrooms. Now, this location features recliner chairs which I love. It definitely solved the issue sitting in the front row where you do not feel like you are sitting too close to the screen. Staff is welcoming and helpful. I would definitely come back here again."

Picture Show at East Windsor (3.5 stars)

Address: 319 US-130, East Windsor

Review from Kelly:

"I've been coming here for the past 10 years, so I might be a bit biased, but I love this theater. Not only have they upgraded their seats to the nice couch recliner seating, but their prices are INSANELY GOOD!"

Cinemark Hazlet (3.5 stars)

Address: 2821 Highway 35, Hazlet

AMC Freehold 14 (3.5 stars)

Address: 101 Trotters Way, Freehold

Review from Dwayne in Jamesburg:

"One of our favorite theaters to go to.  Love the reclining seats. The concession stand is good with plenty of choices.  I love that you can have extra butter on the popcorn.  The choices for drinks are really good, almost too many selections.  The staff is usually pretty cool."

AMC Deptford 8 (3.5 stars)

Review from Tracey in Williamstown:

"Went to the movies yesterday and enjoyed my experience in this theater. It was clean, the people working there were friendly and the reclining seats were very comfortable. The movie started on time and the temperature was comfortable."
