Went on a Sunday night to see Kong: Skull Island while visiting from out of town. Parking in garage behind the theaters ($3.00 with validation). Bought tickets online in advance. Seats in The Dome were great - just try not to sit too far in front in the lower section. Very nice, retro feel to The Dome. Rest of the theater/concessions are modern, clean, up-to-date.

This Theater is at a beautiful location. You can spend all day here. This is real IMAX not just IMAX name. The seats are soft and comfortable but the seats does not recline enough, so it gets little uncomfortable after a while, and there is also less space between rows. But its all worth it with the huge screen amazing sound

Got a Chance to Witness Beauty and the Beast on this MASSIVE screen; and let me tell you, it was worth every penny.The staff was really friendly, just wish they had a popcorn concession stand inside the theater itself- but there is a popcorn place outside it Garrets I believe?Anyways, if you want to make your night special and are close to this place, go!

This is THE BEST PLACE to watch a movie in Chicago. The screen is simply HUGE. I watched the lion king with friends here and the same movie with my kid in another IMAX in the north. The other IMAX wasn’t even close to the experience I had at Navy Pier. I watch all the movies that are released in here irrespective of what movie it is cuz it feels good to watch a movie here. Food options are limited in this theater though. And pricey. Have dinner outside the theater and watch a movie :)

Good place to watch movies that just came out. Great customer service. And other shops nearby, to visit.

Great screen.. loved the IMAX experience here. Will be going there again

The seats were kinda sticky by the 9 pm showing. Seats dont really recline/arent that comfortable but its not horrible. Staff was nice enough. Alcohol available to purchase

For the last five movies I saw here, there were ...~People playing on their phones during the movie. Couldnt get an usher, and I had to tell them to knock it myself (3x).~People having actual discussions during the movie~Children literally going up and down the aisle and talking during the movie. (Movie started at 7:30 p.m. - Kid was 4/5, and clearly not prepared for a PG-13 movie)Ushers are often nowhere to be seen once the movie starts. I think I may have had a string of bad luck (Ive seen about 20 movies here in the past 3 years -- Usually with respectful patrons -- 2019 has just been rough).Ill probably start going to different theaters closer to home though since IMAX is meant to immerse and the audience completely prevents me from doing that.

Biggest and greatest screen in Chicago! Every great film deserves a screen like that. Clean and comfortable seats.

Great to watch an IMAX 3D movie. This is our go to to watch a great movie

Biggest screen in the city and great sound quality. Seats are also comfy enough. Downside is having to get all the way to Navy Pier and try to avoid high priced parking & other tourist trappings.

Great seats. Great screen.

Huge screen but they dont validate for parking and cramped popcorn stand

The Imax Theater itself is awesome - the biggest Imax in the Midwest. HOWEVER, there is NO validation or reduced rate for parking at Navy Pier parking garage if all you want to do is see a movie !! Parking is $37 which is ridiculous just to see the movie! There used to be reduced rates in the past.I would give 5 stars if not for the outrageous parking. Not knowing the rate until I got there, the movie (Star Wars) was starting in 10 minutes, so I didnt have time to park across Lake shore Drive and then walk back to the theatre - now I know. But yeah, the Imax screen there is awesome to see a movie, especially one with sci-fi special effects!

Improvements over the last couple of years (dual 4k laser projectors, new seats, screen) have made this theater worth going to again.

Havent been to this theater in years but saw avengers here tonight and thought it was pretty great. Seats arent like the recliner theaters but they are comfy leather and have a some rocking to them. The prices are high but I think it was worth it for a movie I really wanted to see shot in this format. The screen is ridiculously big and the seating is sharply stadium style so we felt pretty immersed in the movie.Main critiques would be price of tickets and concessions (though the food was fine) and they could use a better sound system. Overall happy though.Pro tip: walk a few blocks away from the pier if youre getting an Uber. We walked for about 10 minutes, chatted about the movie, and had our fares go down about 50-60% from what it was at the pier

The ONLY Digital Laser IMAX Experience, on The Biggest Screen Floor to Ceiling

This theater is so much better since AMC took over. The seats are much more comfortable and theres a bit more room. Would be perfect if it had recliner seating, but you cant get everything you wish for.

Best place to see a movie, large seats, HUGE Screen!

The sound and was great. The only thing that suck about this place the restroom location. You have to walk a out to the walk area to go the the restroom.

Navy Pier isnt the easiest to get to via public transit and is a tourism hub. But, the IMAX is top notch and worth the effort l.

So the movie was great, but the Imax experience was way over rated. I have a theatre back home that has more comfortable seating and better sound. It wasnt a bar experience by any means just honestly isnt worth the extra money you spend. If you have kids they would probably love it though

The seats dont recline, but thats the only negative. There is one big screen and its massive, clear, and worthy of a visit. Honestly this is the movie Plus its located at Navy Pier so you get a good view of the city after the movie.

Place is a gem. Great for movie lovers and lovers to love lol

So sorry I did not take pictures. However, I enjoyed myself there. Comfortable seating, good popcorn and the staff was very kind. Usually when the staff is young, they lack in customer service and professionalism, but these young people were respectful, professional and I even observed how well they worked together as a team. Did I mention, how good and fresh the popcorn was...

Ive already watched two movies here, one in July and one in November 2018. Both had a very wide aspect ratio that just filled a little portion of the screen vertically, and the image was positioned so high up on the screen that you needed to look slightly up even when seated in the last few rows. So you will just pay for an expensive ticket to watch a regular sized movie with two giant black bars.The experience may be better for movies that are actually made for the IMAX format, but thats never clearly advertised anyway.I regularly watch movies in IMAX theaters and usually like the experience. Having visited a few different locations (at least three in the United States and two in Brazil), I would say that not one of these other IMAX theaters was more disappointing than the Navy Pier IMAX.

Went to see the Apollo 11 IMAX film. It was awe inspiring. The detail and quality of the footage was top notch. Theatre was clean and the seats are nice.

The best IMAX in Midwest, not sure if everyone knows that not all IMAX are original huge IMAX screens, mostly they are the digital IMAX with smaller screens, this one is those few original IMAX 70mm huge screens

Awesome screen, comfortable seats. Nice theater

One of the Largest screen in the world. Never seen a movie in such a big screen. Best everything was good.

You could literally just walk into any theater! Its a little pricey but was deff worth it. Although, i definitely didnt like that perishables were out in the open for anyone and everyone to spread their germs on. Relatively clean. Its a movie theater at the end of the day...

Oh my god ! My expression says it all. A very big screen and it feels amazing to watch any movie.

Light from the entrance hallways still spills all over the bottom half of the screen and really washes it out during dark scenes. IMAX is advertised as the best possible projection experience but if the screen is not shielded from ambient light, the most expensive projectors in the world are worth almost nothing. The experience is not worth the premium ticket prices.

The eye masks is expensive, but that is to be expected when you go to see movie at Navy Pier. The staff was kind, the seats were comfortable, and the movie viewing experience was spectacular. This is a fun adventure for an occasional family ordeal, but make sure to spend some time walking around Navy Pier and sightseeing while youre down there.

It was a little too loud. Even my child was complaining about it. But otherwise, it was great...easy to book tickets and enter, and the seats were really comfy. We got seats right up front but they were fine. I have to think that every seat in the house is good

Super cool place to take the kids when in Chicago

Great IMAX theater! Its a fun location being on Navy Pier. They only have the one theater, and the concession/ticketing line is the same line, so it can get kind of long. I always have a good time here, though.

Comfy seats, excellent sound system and the screen was impressive as usual ... went to see Bohemian Rhapsody yesterday and am SO glad I chose this place!!!! The staff were meh (they seemed bored with it all) but did their job well regardless, the check in was smooth and the bathroom was nearby which is a plus. The upgrades to Navy Pier are great too.

Always great to see the large screen...makes even bad movies enjoyable.

Fantastic theatre! Very clean. Would come here again for a movie!

Saw a movie. Was great. Had a lot of fun

If you’re interested in seeing an IMAX or 3D movie, this theater is the place to do it. A huge screen and theatre built for the increased perspective of the wide IMAX picture, giving you a fantastic view from practically every seat.

The manager on duty tonight is the best. He gave me two passes since I missed half the movie due to my 1yr old daughter crying. It wasnt his idea to bring a year old to Star Wars. So, I much appreciated the passes. Also, the staff was very friendly and the IMAX was extremely clean.

No comment.... best experience to watch a awesome and most awaited movie of the year there biggest screen I have ever seen

Its all nicely remodeled it looks totally different now great job

Its the place to go if you want the real IMAX. The only problem is going downtown, but if you like the movie and you have the time, there is really no other option.

Dont think twice . Like Nike,, just do it .. YOLO

Why isnt this theater showing moves in 3D anymore? They are only showing the latest movies in pancake mode! They used to show the latest blockbusters in 3D at this theater but now Aquaman, Captain Marvel, Dumbo, Shazam! have only had 2D showings here. Guess I wont be visiting this theater anymore. I have no interest in watching movies in flat mode when they have a 3D version available elsewhere.This used to be the best theater in Chicago because you got a laser IMAX projector combined with stereoscopic 3D. Its the only laser IMAX projector theater in Chicago, and there is no better theater experience than that. I saw Alpha here in 3D IMAX and it was fantastic! But laser IMAX just isnt worth it if it means having to watch the movie in 2D. If Im gonna have to watch a movie in 2D then Id rather wait for the 4K Blu-ray release and watch it on my 4K TV instead.

With the recent renovation of this location a lot of things have gotten a lot better. Everything is clean and up to date and ready for brand new set of theater goers. I would highly recommend coming and catching a movie today.

Real cool theater to see Toy Story 4 at!

Small snack station. Huge screen and great sound. You have to exit to the mall to use the restroom.

Love this theater. Worth every penny I paid...absolutely coming back for any new action movies..worth the drive and money. Highly recommended

Sunday was my 1st time ever going to Navy Pier theater and Im an AMC Alist member and which means I get to see 3 movies per week at any theater all to pay for is snacks , and the list is $21.99 per month.So far Ive visited all AMC theaters downtown Chicago and Fordcity and Navy Pier is the tops , my favorite theater for IMAX, Navy pier theater is kind of like a stadium.

Hugeeee screen. Awesome sound. And the 3d glasses are more comfortable than your average imax theater. This is IMAX the way it was intended.

Nice place to watch movies

It is a small IMAX theater, probably just one or two show rooms. The screen is more square than the other IMAX screen I have seen in San Francisco. It feels higher while narrower than the other IMAX screen. So the image won’t take the whole space of the screen itself. It is a little bit cold inside lol, so if you go in winter please bring your scarf or blanket with you. The distance between the seats is much smaller than I expect, even you just put a backpack on the ground, you will feel it sticking with you. But overall it is a good theater!

Better screen and viewing experience when compared to the other AMCs, but seating is better at the North Michigan one. And since its a tourist spot, ride share costs suffer a hike.

Perhaps I am a bit sensitive, but I felt that the volume was a bit too high. The snacks sortiment is quite limited. There could be more space for the legs. Why does the movie use only 2/3 of the screen? Its still ginormous though!

Found it hard to find at first, but WOW, what a massive screen. Saw Mission Impossible: Fallout here and it was a great experience. Clean theatre, relaxed atmosphere, a bit grumpy concession staff, but I recommend that you watch your next blockbuster here.

This is my absolute favorite place to watch a movie in the city.

Its always to visit Navy Pier on weekends. You can enjoy beach, bear, movie, shows everything at one place. Recently they started doing renovation of this place and still fun is not compromised.Fireworks at navy pier are amazing. If you want a right spot schedule 1-2 hours early.They organized wonderfest recently. I visited last year and it was fun.

Not as big as I thought but still a much better experience than the normal theaters

Best IMAX theater in the city. Go for the picture quality and sound.

Very expensive for a big screen version of movies in the theatre. Worth it with a movie pass, but otherwise it is a bit inconvenient and their service/food options are limited

It was great cant wait to see the next one

Melvina Sanders was a lot of help very professional and very informative about the place also assisted me with my app.

Very very nice.

I go to Chicago 2 times a year. I went a few weeks ago and I had to take the time to write the review. All I can say is wow...... what a great staff. I was checking out some of the upcoming movies and the manager Andrew took time out of his day and talked to me about the upcoming schedule. When I went into the movie the Staff was so nice and polite. I wish I lived closer so that I could take his great staff for my own business.Andrew Keep up the great work see you and your staff again in the summer...

This particular AMC theater goes right to the movie versus showing previews and thats what sets it apart! Personally, I like previews as it gives the audience a peak at upcoming attractions. The stadium seating and IMAX made the experience that much more immersive.

Awesome theater to watch a new movie

The experience is, of course, bigger and better than the typical movie theater. If you see a movie that is specifically filmed in IMAX, its even better still. The seats are nothing special and it can actually get tight if you sit between two larger people. The concessions snacks are marked up higher than usual, so be prepared for that. When the film is over, they make you exit upstairs instead of the way you came in, which isnt a problem for me, but individuals that have trouble with stairs may have some issues.

The screen is really hige and sound system is also stunning.

I love this theater. The IMAX screen is awe-inspiring. If you have a choice between watching a movie at the regular theater and IMAX, choose IMAX!! All seats are good seats but I prefer the ones at the back. The staff is helpful. Theyll tell you if there are extra scenes at the end of the credits that you should stay for.

Okay now I know I said that Navy Pier is overrated, but IMAX certainly isnt. Great sound, impressive visuals and an all around better movie experience.

Views of the city from the pier are amazing ,even better if you take a boat tour

Place looks nicer after the remodel. Better seats.

Just had a great time

Best theater experience Ive ever had! Nothing can beat this right now!

Tried to enjoy Rogue One as a family. 2 of us had to leave before the previews were over because of the insane volume. I expect spectacular sound to mean amazing surround sound effects, not a level of decibles so crazy as to drive two of us out of the theater and leave the other with a splitting headache. If youre taking small children, bring earmuffs. (That said the screen is incredible.)

This place has real IMAX. If you have been watching IMAX movies at AMC (most of their locations dont have real IMAX, but IMAX Digital) you will be surprised when you see the screen size. Seats and the gap between rows could be better. Overall nice place. I recommend seeing IMAX 3D movies at this place.

Great location and nice IMAX screen

I expected more but it was still good experience.

Best imax screen in the city.

What is going on with this theater? My wife and I used to love this theater for summer blockbuster movies. We have a yearly tradition of going here, but there are absolutely no show times listed now, you cant buy tickets on any website or app, and no one answers the phone. Looks like the tradition may be over.

Best theater ever

Other than the fact that it is located on Navy Pier, this is a fantastic theatre. The seats are super comfortable, with a great view of the enormous screen from every one. The sound system here is better than any other theatre downtown. They also screen 3D movies, which can be quite an experience in IMAX. The tickets arent cheap, but I would rather spend the money on a great movie experience here than at a smaller venue closer to home.

Nice, clean theatre with a HUGE screen. Watched the new Jurassic World in IMAX and couldnt have asked for a better venue. Their Tuesday drink and popcorn special cant be beat!

Nice area for tourists like me. Has a bit of everything

Best screen in Chicagoland.

Nothing short of amazing!!

Nice place for good times with family and friends

I really enjoy the environment of Navy Pier IMAX theater it was my daughters very first time going to IMAX theater and she really enjoyed it.. we went to go see the Avengers and she really really enjoyed going to Navy Pier IMAX and I really want to thank you guys for making her day and our very first IMAX experience really really enjoyable

Great theatre. Dont sit to close!

The navy pier IMAX theatre is a very great place to watch a movie. It has one of the largest movie screens i have ever seen. the experience is amazing it almost feels like your there with the amazing 3D affects and the the fantastic audio built in. its a great place to see the latest hit movies.

Best movie experience with Imax 3D

Having travelled many cities within the U.S. and abroad I must say this theater is not IMAX quality. The normal IMAX theaters have good snack menus and I bought something from the same building at McDonalds and was told I cant bring anything in their theater but I could buy something from their bland menu like popcorn or nachos or a very small flat pizza or loads of candy.......I am sorry this is unacceptable. I have to admit it was clean however no inside restroom you have to go around the corner....wait I cant bring something into the theater and no in and out yet I have to go out the theater to use the restroom?Although the place was clean it was just not the IMAX AMC quality I was used too next time while in Chicago Ill look elesewhere!

One of the nicest theaters I have been to. Very comfortable chairs.

The screen and movie quality were impressive, but the idea that its a theater itself is comical. They have a single vending cooler with a severely limited selection of Pepsi 20oz products, little to no concession (8 or so candies to select) and no popcorn! Ironically its AMC, which partners with Coca-cola too.

Big screen, an actual IMAX theater experience

Seeing endgame still made me cry but atleast I could hear eveything
