I saw Bloodshot, it was one of the last showings before they shut down the city. The movie wasnt great but now it serves as the last movie I saw before the world turned over on itself.

Decent multiplex with very friendly staff. The box office is on the ground floor as you enter and the screens span multiple floors above. Its very dated compared to all the other theaters that have undergone renovation with recliners but the screens and sound systems are fairly up-to-date. They offer seat reservations like other theaters and the snack selection is above average.

This is my go to movie theater in 34th Street. Its not as expensive as others around the area besides the popcorns and drinks. They also have good selection of the latest movies with various times available. Furthermore, there are so many floors available which is a good thing since the place tends to get crowded around evening time. Overall, Id really recommend this theater!

Have seen some great bands of all genres here, though most recently was Meshuggah!! They’re pros at accommodating major hardcore crowds. Easy in and out. No complaints

Not a bad theater, a bit older. Regular seating in most of the theaters, good ol squeaky seats. Restroom is on one level so you may have to run if you go during the movie. I guess youd run either way if the movies is good.

For the most part it was okay. But for the location you would expect reclining seats, a staff that had a little more customer service training and not an attitude of personal indifference for no reason at all.the bathrooms were fairly clean but the theater for a matinee showing was completely filthy, doesnt make any sense.I prefer to view movies at AMC locations and my kids were happy to watch Sonic. All-in-all I guess it was ok.

9.25.17 - saw IT on a Monday night and it was barely populated. Overall its a well kept the as yet with nice and responsive staff.The seats are a little old and beat up so for long movies it might get a little uncomfortable.The theater is right off the A,C,E train at Penn Station, so its very accessible. Overall, not a bad experience.

I love this movie theater. They are very organized. They are very clean. They are fast and patient. This theater is huge. 4 floors. They have bathrooms in the 3rd floor. The bathrooms where clean. I bought nachos and a big soda. They are expensive with the food so have a good amount of money. They have chipotle and five guys right next to the movie theaters. The a train is right in the corner.

One of the bigger movie theaters in midtown. However, no restrooms at every levels. No clear directories upstairs. Also, seating area are not clean. Not all escalators worked. Not all bags brought in are checked by the security like other AMC Loews locations do. Not happy about the experience.

This place is groady. I wouldnt recommend it unless its super convenient time or location wise.The seats are super old and uncomfortable in the regular theaters. The concessions area are really gross, see pictures of the messy area by the drinking fountains. It makes me wonder what the kitchen/back of house areas are like - yikes!AMC has been doing minor renovations that dont impede on operations, but I hope they start to take some theaters offline to give them some needed attention. Like some of the theaters downtown have gotten some much needed TLC. Hopefully this theater does soon too!

Great Place. Nice and Open, yet quiet most of the time (good thing). Sound Quality is great too as well as no smeared screens! Only negative? Not all reclinable seats, which will be coming soon to be up to date to current trends.

The theater is under renovation now and you can smell the materials in the arena but not in the movie section itself... but thats cool. Seats are comfortable with adjustments and heated through push-buttons. I do not like that the prices are so STEEP...$15 for adults. Too pricey.

We visited this movie theatre in the afternoon to watch Nightschool. There were not many visitors, we were only with 5 people in the theatre. They have a pretty wide selection of movies here, which is very good, and already start early in the day.Employees are polite and friendly. There are 3 floors in this location, although our movie was shown on the first floor, we had to go to second floor for bathrooms( as they are not on every floor), which was a bit strange.

Review №17

I attended a matinee show.I am giving this AMC three stars because the sound in the theater was way too loud. I had to put in the ear plugs that I carry just to make it through the film. An elderly couple next to me were making similar complaints.I also found the staff to be unavailable to help the guests. There is nobody in the main lobby to direct matinee guests. Once you finally find your way upstairs and scan your tickets, you are only greeted by employees at the concession stand.There are positives: The screens are bright and beautiful and the seats recline and vibrate to the big action sequences on-screen.This review is only my opinion, but I think some improvements would make this an amazing theater.

Review №18

Great theater, its my favorite AMC theater easily. The reason why I love it so much is near the concession stands you can buy awesome pop figures. But other than that is a beautiful theater with three floors and each floor is just as breathtaking, my only gripe is that the bathrooms are on the second floor, not on each floor. Only gripe. My favorite thing is the new Dolby Cinema. I saw Joker in that theater the prices skyrocket to 22 dollars per ticket. However the experience is incredible! I wont spoil much but just a small taste the sound is the best sound quality I have ever experienced in a theater period.

Fantastic sound system. Dolby Prime rocks. The distance to the stage even from the back rows was too short. The theatre had no heating and I had to keep all my layers of clothing on, including my outdoor long coat. For $21 per ticket, I expected at least a warm place.

Review №21

Clean and quiet theatre but they insist on working as a bank. They will not open until EXACTLY 10am despite the fact that many show times are for 10am. They also wont accept gift cards that have no expiration due to their updated automated point-of-service machines that are NOT programmed to take gift cards that have no expiration date.

This is a multi-level movie theater so there are lots of potential choices.Good Features1) Many concession stands2) Advance seat booking online3) Tickets through an app or email4) Theater sound quality is okOpportunities For Improvement1) The popcorn is just ok2) there are no rest rooms on some floors so you have to go up or down stairs3) The decor is dated4) The seats are recliners like many of the newly renovated theatersPro Tip: Dont buy water if you plan on getting a soda too. The self serve soda station has a water dispenser so you can get both.

Warning. Under construction. Will amend review post-renovation. Renovation will hopefully include update to stadium seating especially in regards to spacing and reclining apparatus. Sound and picture quality still above average. Probably recommendable post-renovation.

Came and saw the Joker Movie and it was simply a great experience. The popcorn was PERFECT! The soft drink were soft drinks and candy is all the same. I do want acknowledge how great the staff there are. When as soon Id walked away, somebody knocked them out of my hands. I was visibly, but the staff jumped into action. Got me another soft drink and popcorn as well as cleaning up the spill Id made earlier

AMC has a consistency that you have to admire. As an AMC A List member, I take advantage of the perks quite a bit and frequent several different theaters in Houston, San Antonio, and NYC.The Times Square location offers a respite from the bombardment of ads and pictures by bombarding you with one projection, although one of your choice.The theaters are staggered across 5/6 levels throughout the building. The setup is mad awkward at first but once you know your theater number the helpful staff will help you.The location had a plethora of theaters; this theater also has some indie and off mainstream selections you wont find at other locations.Tip: Get your popcorn and sodas as soon as you get there. If you sit down to get your seats youll spend another 10 minutes going back down to the lower level. Drink refill fountains are on all levels so that helps during the movie.Tip 2: With so many people coming in with bags, the policy is very weak so feel free to bring a backpack loaded with whatever. We always sneak in drinks. Yup, Im those people.

Not my favorite theater. The seats are not luxury, as in they dont recline. Although they are soft and floofy so thats a plus. The sound in our particular theater was too loud though. Like calm down, Id like to keep my ear drums please. Everything else was fine, nothing unusual or noteable.

Review №33

The IMAX seats are made for hobbits. I am average height and slim. You will uncomfortably rub arms and shoulders with your neighbour throughout the movie. Also there’s very tiny leg room. Any average sized human being will not be able to relax in their seats. People keep bump into your back cushion.The place is old and outdated. Smell the worn carpets.

Review №37

Nice comfortable chairs (in the IMAX theatre), I like that I have the option to choose my seats before buying the tickets ( online- not sure how the process is when purchasing straight from the box office), clean theatre overall. The reason Im taking a star- well more like half a star actually, is because the popcorn was a bit bland, and soda not bubbly- given that Ive visited the theatre in an off peak hours.

Visited this AMC location to see The Matrix for the 20th anniversary in their Dolby theater. Comfortable reclining seats but the screen is much closer because its smaller than the one at 42nd Street AMC. The sound was at times loud too. And its in better shape than 42nd Street.The bathrooms on the 4th level are old but fairly clean (there is no restroom on the same floor as the Dolby theater), professional staff, concession is on the 3rd level along with a handful of arcade games.

Review №45

Good experience overall. The tickets are a bit pricey but it is Manhattan. I’m not sure about all the theaters but I was in theater 2 and it didn’t have the large recliners that many theaters now come with. They might be available in the more advanced theaters but the basic ones don’t have them.

Parking validation is available for up to 4 hoursParking structure is availableMovie prices varyI watch pirates and tickets were $16.50Theaters were nice and clean. Very small and cozy.Yes I would recommend this place. Its surrounded by a variety of different restaurants. Perfect place for a date or hanging out with friends.The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 was because getting inside the parking structure took forever. Traffic was crazy. To get in and out.

Nice theater.. Good seats.. Not plush recliners but comfy and they move back slightly.. They have a really good menu with pizza.. Mac and cheese.. Sliders.. Food is definitely a plus here. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner and soda area floor was super sticky.. Overall its really good for the area.. Area can be a bit sketchy if you catch a late movie.. Workers were nice, ticket girl working on 2nd floor was really cool and had an awesome smile for everyone..

Review №56

Other than the Lincoln Center IMAX theater, this is the best Ive been to, anywhere. The Dolby Cinema experience is great: padded leather seats with electronic controls for reclining and a footrest. Its cleaner than most theaters from what Ive noticed and the movies look, sound (and feel) awesome. Food is regular, overpriced movie theater food but this is my go-to theater for my AMC A-List subscription.

The seats was uncomfortable no recliners or anything, for the prices they charge for a movie you should be comfortable, especially of your seeing a 2-3hour movie.

This is good, standard AMC theater for NYers. Been here several times. If you’re a non-NYer, you’ll be shocked at the box office pricing. If you’re a NYer, you’ve long accepted (and continued to grumble about) that you pay the highest prices in the US (and perhaps the world) for movies.

Probably will not come back here. The line to buy tickets is long and there are only 2, yes 2, self check in kiosks. Those kiosks are not easy to use either. Once you have finally obtained a ticket, there is a huge line with 1 ticket taker moving extremely slow. It was this way before and after the movie, on a TUESDAY! What is it like on the weekend??! Movie was on the 3rd floor where there are 5-6 theaters, but NO bathrooms. You have to go upstairs to the next floor for a bathroom. There are concessions on the 3rd floor, with, again, an incredibly long line. They actually have 2 lines, a short VIP one for paid amc members, and a long one for other non members. Wow, capitalism. Wow. The seating in the theater is assigned and you have to pick your seat. Unfortunately, Since we got there on the later side we were not able to sit next to each other. We ordered popcorn and Explained to the guy that we were not sitting next to each other so could we get an extra bag to pour popcorn into... he said it was AMCs policy to not let us and instead he gave us a serving tray that we could pour popcorn onto. Find that to be a very strange policy Considering you have to give up some sort of paper product regardless. And of course concessions are pretty expensive, $8 for popcorn. The popcorn doesnt taste that good either. The seats themselves are stadium seating And there is not a lot of room from person in front of you to your legs behind their seat. There is absolutely no room for someone in your row who has to get up in the middle of the movie to walk by you and you have to stand up to let them by.

We went to the Dolby cinema to watch Avengers - Endgame. The experience was really good! The seats were very comfortable and doesn’t matter where you seat (either the very left or right), you have the full view of the screen. The sound quality is perfect which brings the movie to life. Overall, great experience!

Clean and decent for the city. It’s actually pretty easy to know where you’re going with all the signs and the staff assistance is really great here.

Review №73

Much better than the AMC near 86th and 3rd. Has some updates, but no recliners. At least not in their normal auditoriums. Could use a second cashier for the A-list line at concessions since it took almost as long to get through that line as if I would have gone through the normal line. Regardless of that small complaint, it really was a pretty decent theatre for NY, and it was soo much better than my previous NY AMC experience. Making this my preferred theatre even though its a long trek from the Upper East Side.

One of the most worst experience regarding a concession stand employee. Rude and unprofessional. Felt a need to question me and ask if I had a problem. All the while he was the one with an attitude.

This is our favorite theater so far in NYC, as a premium member of AMC we watch movies during Tuesday its because the price is very cheap like $6 in digital movie. And the dolby is only $12. Aside from that we got a lot of deals like $5 popcorn and drink. When your bill goes to $50 AMC will return or reward you like $5 so you can use it in the future purchase. We have our tuesday family day. We love the popcorn here, the fountain drinks, the nacho with cheese OMG the best.

Conveniently located near MSG, Penn station, and most subway routes. There are several floors to navigate before getting where you want to go. Ground floor is tickets, first floor is the ticket scanner, second is concessions and theaters 1-6, third is bathrooms, and fourth is every other theater. The standard theater seats would make you feel cramped up and make it hard to walk if someone is blocking your way. Picture and audio are decent compared to other AMCs. There is also a Dolby and IMAX theater.
