Clean and most importantly inexpensive place to see all of the new releases. Use the Stubs card and there are even more savings. This is my new movie spot.
A great place to see a movie. A bit out of the way but worth it if you want to see a movie in IMAX it's worth it. There is a McGruff bar and all the food items you expect at an AMC cinema. Fairly clean and lines are usually short. Shorter if you a Stubs member. Overall a great place to visit.
Went to this place two days in a row with my wife and we really experienced wonderful times watching those movies in big screens. I recommend this place to others who want to be happy and comfortable while enjoying your selected movies.
Theater was clean, shows started on time. Pre-ordering tickets was easy and walking through the door with the QR Code was quick. Overpriced food and drink (I know, it’s a theater, they are ridiculous), but their variety is getting better. Women’s bathrooms are HORRENDOUS. We went 2 days in a row, a Saturday 4pm and Sunday 1pm. Multiple out-of-order toilets, the remainders were either stuffed with toilet paper, urine and feces or the seats were covered in urine spray. Toilet paper and paper towels everywhere. Wet counters, wet floors. Seriously one of the most disgusting public bathrooms I have been in for a LONG time. In a theater that size and that busy, they need someone (or two people) every shift on bathrooms. I hope management reads this and fixes it. We will be going somewhere else for quite a while before we give it another chance.
Update - Oct. 2017: Still a bit of a mess. Paid a premium to see Bladerunner in Imax. Waste of money. The screen was nice. The seats are original, uncomfortable and hard - especially for 3 hours of sitting. The bass was cranked too high and the grills or some metal piece was loose - the speakers rattled so bad that the vocal often could not be understood. The majority of the sound seemed to come from the lower right of the screen - it really sounded like half the sound system was dead so they mad up for it by setting the volume to 11.
From a year ago: At one time this was a fantastic cinema. 10 years ago it was a 5 star. The luster wore off this pearl years ago. I doubt they have put any money into the place since 2010. There was drywall damage between the bathrooms last July. Here it's almost March of the next year - damage is still there. The men's room stank. Literally.
The cushions in the seats are either paper thin or worn out. Very uncomfortable. Plus the whole place is permeated by the smell of stale popcorn.
I watched the 3D version of Star Wars. The screen is not well maintained - I don't know if it's old, dusty or what - but the screen was clearly visible, almost as an overlay on the image. In many scenes it looked like I was watching the 3D movie through a window screen. It really ruined the 3D effect.
The glasses provided are the smallest I have seen. They looked like children's sun glasses.
The employees would rather chat with each other than deal with customers. Happened to me when purchasing my tickets and later, popcorn. Finally the sound.
Only stereo, from behind the screen. Tinny, little bass, and what bass there was sounded like a blown speaker.
Cinemas are modernizing and updating, leaving this relic behind. Yes - it's clean. But that's lipstick on a pig. I won't be returning. I only went because I waited so long to see Star Wars and it's gone this week. Otherwise I would have watched it at Chicago Ridge.
This movie theater was terrible. We went on an unusually warm fall day and the the movie theater was boiling hot. The specific theatre we were in smelled like urine and they were blaring the music so loud you'd think they were trying to let people listen as they drove by. The move we saw (Leap) was pretty cute and nice, but I'd recommend going somewhere else to watch it.
I went to a 6:30 movie last night and it was dark when I left - there was no one walking out at the same time. As I left the theater a man, who had been hiding off to the side, start to follow me. I became of aware of his presence and started to walk faster and then began to run. I eventually, pivoted, faced him and ran back into the theater. Once I was in the theater the manager was called and he came down and asked me what had happened. He acknowledged that there was a creepy man who had been hanging out in the parking lot and with whom they had had a previous complaint. I asked him to please walk me to my car and he said he could not, would not and that there was NOTHING that they/he could do. I asked him why if they did not any action to protect their patrons at the theater and they said that it was not their responsibility - past the doors of the theater and that there was nothing he could do and he walked away. I was shaking, scared and very upset. The police came and I was escorted to my car.
Went to see the movie It and this was the worst experience we ever had. First almost all the pop machines were down because they needed to change the pop. One guy was changing the pop out in one machine and when he couldn't get it to register he just closed the door and said sorry guys I tried, but I need to go help at the other counter because they are busy. Wait a minute you have a line of people waiting to get pop. In the theater 6 it was so hot. No air circulation or even an air on. Of course the theater was packed it was the release weekend of It. That means more people makes it even warmer. Very uncomfortable to watch a movie. Then the surround sound from the movie next to us u could hear. Very distracting.
Prefer going to this location because it's not too crowded as some of the other AMC theaters I visited. Plenty of parking. They added a bar. Definite plus. Restrooms decent. I can live without the recliner seats that this location doesn't have.
The place is nice and peaceful and the food is pricey but good and they have a bar that has excellent Alchoholic drinks.
Ok Theater from the 90s and it shows. Nice iMax screen but again very 90s. No recliner seats, place needs to be remodeled bad.
Ew, I would like the option to give this specific movie theater zero stars and in fact even report it for inspection to a health board. The lovely girl at the ticket counter was the only pleasant part of our night. We visited on a slower weekday night. This whole theater was covered in garbage and popcorn the moment you walk through the doors. We ordered a regular popcorn after getting the attention of one of the young teenage boys who were giggling and talking amongst each other behind the counter. He was friendly. We proceeded to the theater room, which was in worse condition than the rest of the building. Popcorn, garbage, wrappers, bottles, napkins, you name it - was scattered all over the room and on the seats and in cup holders. Obviously, no one had come to clean the room in between showings. The women's restroom was full of feces and clogged toilets. Maybe they were understaffed since it was not a busy night, but sanitation and cleanliness should not be disregarded no matter the situation. I will never return here. Sorry. I wouldn't recommend this theater to anyone. My back was hurting 45 minutes into the movie from the old seats. I would much rather make the drive to Yorktown AMC (one of our favorites!!) or the new Oakbrook AMC.
Much better employees than the other AMC theaters in the area and it's a bit cleaner. I now go out of my way to come here vs. Oak Brook or Yorktown locations. Employees actually seem to care here.
The crowd at this cinema is very pleasant. We have been to matinee, evening shows, weekdays and weekends and havent ever been disappointed. Restrooms and self-serve beverage areas are usually kept up pretty well. However, the concessions take a few extra minutes due to only two counters being available to take orders. Overall, we always enjoy the show.
