There's nothing particularly outstanding about this mall theater (everyone has stadium seating, clean washrooms, etc.), but you might be interested in their $12-a-year loyalty program, Stubs. You get free upgrades on your beverage and popcorn (small to medium, medium to large); no online booking fees; and $10 credit for every $100 spent. Tuesday is senior discount day and Thursday is student discount day.

No complaints! Bathrooms clean, seating area clean-comfy, popcorn hot and delicious---what more can you ask for?

Enjoyed our visit to the theaters and our movie. ,price was reasonable for both the tickets and refreshments - less than movie theaters downtown

4 stars for the old seats. They have not upgraded the seats in at least 16 years.... They are not too bad but you can tell the difference between these and the newer ones at Golf Mill (they got or re-did their AM around 2007)But is it worth the extra gas money to drive to a farther away AMC? Not really. I usually just go to Golf Mill if the showing time is more convenient. .

This is the only movie theater my husband will attend! Nice seats, good sight lines. Plus, he loves the popcorn!

We were here for an early afternoon movie. There were few people in the theater (less than 25). The floors were not sticky and the bathrooms were very clean.

Maybe because the theater is really old, I am not too sure. But, those seats were sure very uncomfortable.

This facility is nice and in an upscale mall. Why it's never busy always amazes me. Maybe it's the random entrance from outside that doesn't give you the warm and fuzzies. Maybe it's too large with screens upstairs too (though that box office is never open). Maybe the kids in this area all have movie theaters in their houses. Maybe the kids are busy shopping spending grandpas money. Can't put my finger on why it's not frequented, as it always has the latest releases showing.

We go here for convenience and nothing more. Prices for tickets and concessions are out of control, and the service is ALWAYS atrocious because they do not pay much or train their staff much... and you get what you pay for (and what you don't). AMC hasn't invested a dime in this place since the 1980's and it shows. The place is a disgrace. Yet it is the closest multi-screen theater to my house. Hate this place but yet I keep going.

Went to watch Elysium starring Matt Damon today. The sound system and screen were good, and the chairs were quite wide and comfortable. They have 14 theatres in total. A good place to spend a few hours. Customer service was bubbly and efficient and they also serve food in the forecourt. There are also good restaurants nearby, including Corner Bakery Cafe.

decent theater, but a bit on the pricey side. go for a matinee, or save it for the movies that are really worth seeing on a big screen.

It is a theater, like any multi screen american theater. Stadium seating is good, number of screens is good, and location(s) is good. No classics, no foriegn, no art, but perfect for first run.

This is a nice clean theater but is more expensive than the Regal theater in the Glen. Also, parking is less convenient. The AMC rewards program is one you have to pay for while other theaters have benefit programs without having to pay up front. As a result, this theater is better for those to go the the movies much more often than we do.

In my last (and final) visit to an AMC Theatre location, I spent $40 dollars. I won't deny that sometimes the experience costs that much money, and I accept that ticket prices are high almost everywhere, but what I received in service was worth maybe $10.AMC offers food choices in addition to their regular concessions, but the food was pasty and cold, despite the fact that they ran their "fried foods" through a giant heater. It took 10 minutes to receive what I payed for, and I almost missed my show. In the sticky, uncleaned auditorium, I eventually found a seat. I use the word "eventually," because there were no lights in the aisle to show me where the ends of the rows were, and I had to stumble through the dimly lit theatre without any other light.When the movie started, there was a very long and uncomfortable pause between the ads and the trailers, causing us to wonder if they had made an error in the projection booth. After the movie was underway, I heard several people complain that the movie was too dim to be worth their ticket price. I was severely disappointed in the presentation of the film, the condition of the theatre, and the service I was provided by the staff. If you have to see a movie and the closest theatre is an AMC, I would consider driving a few extra miles to get to a Kerasotes or a local chain.
