This was s nice large theater. The sound was extremely clear and perfectly configured. In the movie I went to, a dog barked off seen and it sounded like it came from the theater exit. The only real give away was it was too loud for an actual dog. It was a great double take. The screen was clear. The bathrooms were clean. The only reason for a nonfive is that there are theaters now that have fully reclining seats. Those new seats cost much more and take up more space. The ticket price reflects this. So while this is a 4, it is a more economical option.

Pretty sure I got bedbugs from the seats at this place.

Comfortable theater. I wish you didnt have to pre select seats and butter your own popcorn. They do offer lots of treats though.

Line for tix was long and only 1 kiosk for self purchase.... Nice theater tho, seats are pretty comfortable but they dont recline. The do bounce/rock a bit. Food and drink options are more adult than other theatres. I very much appreciate this theater and the movies they offer

Theater itself is nice with spacious comfortable seating and good sound system.However, there’s room for improvement:1. It would be reasonable to have about three coming attractions shown before the movie, but not seven, eight, or nine.2. Signs by the 6 theater doors should state what’s playing. I always double check my ticket, but one could easily go to the wrong movie.3. It would be very nice if the 2nd floor could be made to a venue one could get a light meal before the movie instead of just using it for private parties. I can’t drink anything in the movie theater itself without having to go outside to visit the restroom before movie is over because I take a daily ‘water pill’ to maintain a healthy blood pressure.4. I’m disappointed over the selection of movies at this theater this late Spring and Summer. Too many ‘MARVEL’ films. I like action but not at such speed and intensity. Also, too many movies about entertainers and their lives. Also too many ‘kids’ films. With a better selection, I could have given a 4 star rating.

This theater is a bit dated, but perfectly fine. Anyone who complains about the seats is either very or very old, at 48 I think they are fine. I have dealt with old school theaters and the newest. It is less snooty than it was as the Sundance 608 and they have food and drinks. If you live on the near west side, downtown or the far west side and you dont want to go to point, drive out to the Palace, or whatever the place on PD turned into, go for it.

Went to take my kids to see Frozen 2, never have I been to this movie theater. The movie was to start at 7:25 and we showed up 15 minutes late. (Thinking we could still make it, we would just miss the beginning) when we got there the doors were locked and it looked like no one was there and it was freezing cold with children trying to figure out why I bought tickets for a theater that was closed. Called customer service to see if we could get another show time. The lady told me no and there nothing she can do they lock the doors 15 minutes after the last showing and I should have been on time. I will never go to a amc theater, I’ll stick with Marcus theaters.

I do not recommend.1. Two of the toilets were clogged and the bathroom was nasty.2. The floor in the movie theater was pretty gross.3. The chairs haven’t been updated in many year. Any theater I’ve been to lately has better seating.4. Finally, I was least impressed with management. I ordered a drink from the bar. The girl couldn’t figure out how to ring it in, so she radioed a manager. The manager got mad at her over the radio and basically told her to figure it out. I finally just canceled and walked away. The poor girl couldn’t even figure out how to ring it in and this manager couldn’t be bothered to come help.Go to Marcus or Fitchburg theater. They are MUCH better.

Just saved up 3 months payments for a streaming service. Could not pay cash for 2 tickets for a movie. Technology too much for customer or the one human that may have been able to sell me a ticket. Left after 20 min.

Had a gift card for AMC and this was the only one around for miles. The ticket prices were low for a 12pm show which was awesome. Around $4.5 each (cool). The chairs were unfortunately uncomfortable and old, the concession guy wasnt very friendly and didnt even crack a smile while serving us and the doors to all the theaters were never closed during the show itself. You could hear everything going on in each theater, which is very distracting. Unfortunately we will not be back to this location.

Aging theatre by todays standards but Ive always had a good time here.

Friendly staff, bathrooms and theaters nice and clean. Comfy seats

The most dated theatre ever. Lobby and entrance very modern but actually auditorium was in big need of an update. Sound was bad and overall not with $12 per ticket.

Came to see Hellboy , what a great movie theater ...

Looks nice but could use more food and drink options

This is a nice AMC. Looks like its either new or recently renovated. The interior was really nice.

Their popcorn isnt as good as Marcus Theaters popcorn but the place is beautiful.

A good theatre. Less popular than others, which makes getting in to see new releases easier. Not quite up to par in seating comfort, but certainly nicer than the dives from childhood. A first choice backup.

Actively rating this place while waiting idly by for their poorly-trained and seemingly apathetic workforce to make a cocktail. They seemingly are unfamiliar with the concept of being busy on a Saturday afternoon. The service was slow and unremorseful. The theatre was filthy. And the popcorn was stale. Avoid this place and go to any other of the nearby theaters.

Nice movie theater. People is nice, a lot of food options,good prices and the theater is big eventhough they dont have fancy chairs. The only thing I dont like is the limited options of movies

12:15 matinee for 5 people was only$ 23.00, fabulous!

Really like this theater. Small, without some of the flash of other theaters, but with great charm and comfort. Great experience.

Nothing wrong with this theater. The seats are comfortable and popcorn is good. Plus you can usually get in when other theaters are sold out.

A bit expensive, but a nice facility with great projection and sound.

Nice little theater and they serve awesome food beers and wine.

This used to be the cool theatre, now its just sad.

Movie was good, bathrooms were not clean, soap dispensers empty, no paper towels.

Very nice. Clean, great service

Nice experience. The seats were comfortable . Property was clean, helpful staff and good option for snacks too. Would not mind being back.

This theater is slowly going down hill. You can see the wear and tear in the seats and other places, showing that management is not putting the money into the place to keep it first rate. This is now a second tier theater, which is sad given its history. And what finally crushes you to death and hence the two stars is almost 30 minutes of previews before the show begins. This is what makes theater going now an aggravation, contributing to all theaters decline. Serving beer and wine or food is not going to fix that.

5.25$ Tuesdays is great!!Chairs very uncomfortable...hard to compete with recliners. Great location.

Next To Bus Stop, Great Waiting Area and Good Popcorn

Very nice theater with bar and a limited menu. Many good restaurants in the area.

Very good ticket prices. No recliners

Cheap ticket as $4.48 if you enter before 2 p.m. I got a regular size free popcorn for just simply take some online questions!

They were nice and helpful, no issues

Great layout will definitely go back

Nice theater. Clean and nice. Didnt try the food but they have quite an assortment. Also cocktails.

Customer service was great

Excellent theater with a modern design, they serve alcohol which is a nice perk however there isnt an icee machine

Comfy seats. Expensive. But nice atmosphere.

Nice theater in a nice dining and shopping area.

Nice place to watch on the big screen.

Had a pleasant experience.

Very great movie theater, but the current lack of recliners is pretty annoying, making Marcus Point the superior theater in the area

This place is nasty. Dirty nasty. Smelly seats and smelly rug. Its 2019 and there is no reason why this place isnt updated yet. Has a old sound system and old raggedy seats.

We went to see the art of driving in the rain. Loved the movie and the chicken waffle sandwich.

Clean, good popcorn and coke policy

So much more of what you go to the movies for than that other place, without all that unnecessary fancy stuff driving up the price

Good selection of movies, and the staff is great. The only drawback is that the seats are not recliners, which seems to be the norm these days, specially considering that you can get that kind of seating for the same price in other places.Overall, a very good place to catch a movie.

The ads before movies are roughly 20 minutes, so plan to be late. Movie selections are far worse than Sundances. Theyre always understaffed too, which I suppose is considered good business in the corporate world. Conveniently located and thats about it. I recommend New Vision or Marcus if you have a choice.

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.

Nice user friendly web browser

I live nearby and it is pretty nice, they are moderately clean, and the prices are as to be expected; high.

Outrageously expensive. They actually charge you a hospitality fee for all the services they offer. Whether you want them or not. Theatres are very nice however/clean/pleasing atmosphere. Just whether or not you wanna shill out $60 for 2 tickets and popcorn...

How steep the decline...how sorry the loss.Its unbelievable how quickly this place deteriorated after AMC absorbed Sundance into its incompetent fold.What was once a gleaming, classy, well-staffed, and bustling theater, is now a dirty, messy, understaffed dump. Broken seats, perpetually overflowing trash bins, and grime everywhere. Employees are either apathetic or on edge from their constant short-handedness. Despite the obvious decline in patronage, lines are usually long and slow moving (again, a lack of staff) and as other reviewers have said, the prices are higher than other area theaters.Their website is often incorrect or missing showtime information. If you call for clarification, the message says outright that they dont offer showtime info by phone, and instead direct you back to the website, in an endless loop of disinformation.This place needs a serious housecleaning--both figuratively and literally--and is demonstrative of AMCs ability to take a good thing and make it absolutely horrendous.

I love the intimate feel and the reasonable prices.

Nice theater wished I lived closer

Tired and in need of attention and updates.Theater seats have tears in them. Sewer smell noticeable in the main hall. One of the urinals in the men’s room was covered with a black garbage bag.I really want to like this place, but AMC needs to show it some love.

Wish they would have some morning movie times on the weekends. Even a 10 or 11 AM option would be great. Loved this place when it was Sundance and appreciate the current efforts to include some smaller budget pictures in the rotation, but earlier times would make it even nicer.

Im usually a big fan of AMC theaters, but the seats here are incredibly uncomfortable. Not sure if this is the case in all of the auditoriums here, but the seats in auditorium 2 dont even recline. Will not revisit.

The theater was alright, one thing could of been better were the seats. Really wish they upgrade to the red seats.

Awesome food and beverage. The now showing films and different movies not offered at the regular AMC.

I want to praise this theater for not installing the huge reclining chairs. Consequently, this is the best theater in Madison. In addition, this theater has a good variety of movies beyond the big box office fare and fills the place, as much as this can be said, of Madison’s indie movie theater.

This movie theater really needs updating. The seats are old and torn and not very comfortable. I really hope that AMC shows this location some TLC. The area the theater in is great for grabbing some food/shopping before or after a flick. Overall, the experience was pretty good.

Not quite Dream lounger quality. It was a nice experience over all.

We used to love going to Sundance. Won’t go back to this place again - agree with previous reviewer that AMC ruined the place. Watched 30 full minutes of trailers before the movie started, the place was dirty, and the garbage looked like it hadn’t been emptied in two days.

Theyre very helpful.

Bathrooms are usually not clean and they’re always out of soap

I really like this this theater. Ive been there a lot. It has a waiting room area with sofas and comfy chairs. You can buy tickets online, at the touchscreens, or with a real employee. The hallway to the theaters is beautifully decorated. The seats in the theater are pretty comfortable, although I dont know if there are any Dreamloungers - the auditoriums I remember watching films in didnt have them. I do wish the building had wifi, though, because sometimes my phone has spotty data coverage in that area.

Confusing website, price markups for convenience fee, no one picks up the phone

Comfy seats, nice employees, and they serve wine

The bathrooms are some of the filthiest I have ever come across in a public place.

My school went on a field trip here and it was AWFUL! Bugs in the seats, railing in the middle of the theater, broken chairs, peeling walls. The movie wouldn’t even start for 30 minutes. It’s smelt soo bad. Worst theater in Madison, never going back again

Fine theater. Very convenient

While AMC has come in and increased its price, there are a few things I respect about this theater. The first thing is that Im 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.

Asked to change snack order before the transaction went through, but rather than change the order, the cashier just smirked and rang it through.Movie theater was also not clean and popcorn was all over the floor.Id return only after some large changes.

This is my first time going here since it was an art cinema.First of all, I miss the old Hilldale mall. The theatre sits where UBS, Upstairs Downstairs, and Wolf Kubly used to. If those names mean nothing to you you wont understand how I feel.I HATE parking at the new Hilldale, however this time we were lucky enough to get a spot right near the front. We bought our tickets online and they ended up being considerably cheaper then when we have bought our tickets online for other Madison theatres.We were early for our movie (which was sold out or close to on opening night). The lines were short and the staff was friendly. The theatre was clean-ish. The sound and picture quality were adequate. Overall it was a nicer experience than the other area theatres.My only complaint-- I know theatre concession stand prices are insane, but $13 for a large popcorn? And it was stale, and you apply the butter yourself so you only get it on the top layer? Come on.

Solid if unspectacular place to catch a flick.

I have to say with all of the other theaters going to recliner seating this theater feels like the lesser now.

Good venue, clean, and great snack bar options. These are the smaller seats, not leather recliners, so know that ahead of time.

The seats are very comfortable. Enjoyed our experience.

Always an exceptional experience. The popcorn, the muffins are my favorite. Tuesdays offer a great value. And the area for shopping is also a delight, even if just window shopping. This currently is a hidden gem in Madison. World class culture in the Midwestern United States.

Good video/audio quality but needs new chairs!

Older theatre. The seats were threadbare and the sound system was basic.

Good value for afternoon movies

Love Sundance, always an interesting program, with a smattering of more niche events like National Theater screenings. Food is good, love the home pours, good decor, great screens, seats are not the waddle up n collapse-type sofa-beds, which is better for a shared audience experience. Nearby restaurants and parking make it our regular cinema

A good comfortable place to see a movie at reasonable prices. Senior discount you.

I disagree strongly with the very negative reviews of this theater on Y___ and Google and am writing this review because I feel I was misled by them.Last night I saw The Rider at AMC Midvale and thoroughly enjoyed myself.Here is my main concern: The only theater in town showing The Rider -- an excellent independent film that is better than any other film in my recent memory -- is the AMC Midvale. In addition, the previews that I saw during the screening last night were all for independent or similar non-blockbuster films. One was in black and white! I am excited at the prospect of seeing more such films there, and I dont know of any other place in Madison to see them. If we let people who review movie theaters on the basis of the food they serve have their way, this unique independent film resource (as I judge it) will close down.As for my other observations: I liked the older-style stadium seats better than the new living room type found in other theaters. I felt the vibe of older theaters, where a relatively vast audience could see a movie together, rather than feeling like I was in someones house with a few friends. (I have my own big screen in my own living room, thank you.)The interior is somewhat diminished from the Sundance days, with fewer overstuffed chairs in the lobby and a closed entrance door there. But on the whole things were clean and in good repair (including the restroom I checked because of bad reviews about them). The staff were courteous. The screen was fantastic: nice and big, and not too dark. The sound was at least very good. There is a $5 Tuesday deal that brought me to the theater, just like my other favorite, the Point Cinema.But unlike the Point on Tuesday nights, there were few people in my theater, and none that I saw in the lobby. If people who love films -- instead of those who love eating in theaters -- dont start attending this theater in greater numbers, I fear we will be looking back on another sad memory of how Madison used to have a place for independent cinema.One last thing: Go see The Rider! You won’t forget it. Then come back and see a blockbuster to support this theater’s screening of independent films.

In an upscale shopping center. Stadium seating is great for short people.

Amenities and movie times were good to go for what I paid

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.

I dont know how they call this a dine in theater. There is only counter service and no trays to eat your food in the theater. The employees didnt even know when the previous movie ended in the theater before the one I was seeing. Definitely will not be returning.

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 theyre given.

Ive 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 yourselfNot worth it if youre going for the full experience.This gives AMC a bad name.

I miss the old Sundance feel. I tried to buy tickets in person today and one of the general managers, Katie Carlson, was rude to me. It turned out that the back door was accidentally left unlocked and the theater wasnt open for 40 more minutes. Since it was the nearest door to me we went in that way. Katie yelled at us and treated us like we had done something wrong. It ruined my afternoon, and I dont think I will plan to come back for a while.

30 minutes of trailers and commercials before the actual movie started. 30 minutes! Filthy bathrooms and snarky employees.This used to be my favorite cinema but not now.

We went on a Tuesday, so $6 showing. Liked picking our own seats. The fact that there is a beer/liquor menu is also a plus. Problems: line for beverages/refreshments, needs a better setup; the comfort of the seats could be better. This is a theater where adults are the primary target, need to come back sans child.

Nice seats and a great screen and sound

The movie was good and worth seeing. HOWEVER, I bought my tickets for my sister and I to spend some time together on line. When we got there, there were 3 or 4 other twosomes that had the same seats that we did. Each time we moved to empty spots, someone came and kicked us out. The cinema staff person inside the theater said the only thing we could do is go back to the box office. The movie was just starting and there was no way I was going out to the box office. I sat in the 3rd row from the front (looking up) and my sister was about 4 rows up in an empty seat. If your online - pick your seat - system isnt working, take it down until you can figure it out; this type of issue should not be happening. I will be calling the manager this evening for some type of satisfaction process.
