There was a reason to come here above all the other theaters in town at one point. The space was clean, the movies were often independent, and the food was superb. Its always sad to see something special gutted and turned into something even worst the rest.

This place is a dump. The entire area and our theater was dirty, a bottle of “Super water,” whatever that is, was $4.49. We bought the water, a med popcorn and small soda for over $18!,
The women’s bathroom was filthy.
There were 2 staff people behind the food counter, on a Saturday mid afternoon.
Never going back, what a pit!!report this review -

While AMC has come in and increased its price, there are a few things I respect about this theater. The first thing is that I'm very happy they have reverted back to showing less blockbusters, and more original and independent films. When they first changed to AMC, I would be lucky if they were showing one non-mainstream film. However, now when I go to the website it has the same type of movies that Sundance would show. The only complaint I have is the fact that they have not played any foreign language films, or documentaries.

Nicest movie theater I have ever visited. I love this spot. Definitely a more "upscale" movie night if you head here, but well worth it for date night or an occasion. Comfy seats, and great food and drinks if you are interested. Also near plenty of restaurants if you want to do that before/after the film.

The theater here is great to see small-market or indie films and documentaries. The manager on duty a lot, Mr. Jakob R. - is an excellent employeehe needs a raise. I have encountered him at different times through the years, he has been beyond helpful, knowledgeable and has always endeavoured to make my film going experience a very enjoyable time - as it should be when in a cinema. I'm betting the theater would be that much better if Mr. R.was the GM - I know he would do great things with such a role. Bravo!!!

I use to love going to the Sundance. I specifically love seeing the INDEPENDENT FILMS sitting with my white popcorn drizzled with REAL butter!! It felt like an experience rather than just a movie. However, the AMC movies are mostly MAINSTREAM films. If I am to see a mainstream movie, I would prefer going to one of the other theaters because of the significacnt higher cost for online tickets by AMC!!
I am super disappointed they have changed. Madison does not offer independent film options any longer. It makes me sad.report this review -

Menu nerfed, more generic. Movies more generic. National beers. More generic beards on less hipster staff. Generally, a diminution.

I gave them a three for the nice place. I was in Madison for a business trip from Illinois and decided to go catch a movie. This place was expensive for the service it provided and the dirty bathroom. I had to go to 4 different stalls before I found one with no urine. I dont like the idea of having to hold my food on my lap. I wanted a well done burger with bacon and got a pink burger without bacon that was soggy. I spent $65 for that much money in my town at Hollywood Palms where I am from I get a table in front of me silverware and a host that takes my order. I really wanted to like it but I didnt. 😑

I've enjoyed many AMC DINE IN 'S. This is most definitely not a dine in theater. We give you a tray to eat your food as in cafeteria style.
Do not advertise as a dine in restaurant with a table or service, that is false advertising.
They give you a pager to let you know when to pick up your order as in you serve yourself
Not worth it if you're going for the full experience.
This gives AMC a bad name.report this review -

Absolutely terrible. No soda chocies after I bought my soda. Would not refund. The screen wasn't even projected on the screen it was about 6 ft off of it. Popcorn taste like cardboard. Very dirty. I sat on milkduds. There was soda on the floor when I walked in. Bathroom had tolit paper every where. Over all this place should not be in business

Behind the corporate facade is a team of good people working hard to deliver a high quality movie going experience. Be positive and supportive. Direct your complaints to the owners but recognize and appreciate the people who are working to deliver the best experience they can with what they're given.

Ugh. Any good will that Sundance built up for us over the years was squandered on our single visit to the new AMC Dine-In theater. We arrived about 10 minutes before show time. There were no ushers/ticket-takers, we just walked into the correct screen with our pre-purchased tickets. Weird. Then we had to sit through non-stop commercials and previews for films that looked nothing like the movie we went to see. Big Sick movie-watchers at a (formerly) art-house venue are really not at all the target audience for Bad Moms 2 Ruin Christmas or whatever that was, of course, all blaring at an uncomfortably loud volume. The movie started almost 20 minutes later than the advertised show-time. You're screwing up one of the best theatres in Madison, AMC.

Unfortunately the quality has gone WAY down. There are almost no vegetarian or healthy food choices. And gone are all of the little extras that made this theater our favorite choice. No nutritional yeast or other toppings for the popcorn. It is still a beautiful place and comfortable but not worth going out for a movie.

AMC DINE IN was disappointing as compared to Sundance. The quality of their concessions was neither unique or high quality. They were out of some staple food items, i.e. nachos. What happened to the baked goods and the San Pellegrino? Replaced by a self service soda machine. Hopefully, the movie selection stays unique, but my guess is the chain will eliminate this as well. The bathroom was filthy. Overall, disappointing.
