You impressed me much! The staff at the ticket counter smiled at me and greeted politely. I love the fact that they have heated seats and recliners. Additionally, the picture quality was the best and I love the beautiful sound of the movies being featured. What a remarkable experience! Thank you so much!

Probably my favorite movie theater in the city. If a movie is only playing in select theaters, you can almost always count on it playing at this theater. The seats are very comfortable and altogether the movie-watching experience is great - the screens are big, there is enough incline that you can see the screen well from every seat, and the theaters are great at canceling noise from the theaters next door. The interior design has that awesome retro movie theater feel, but the amenities like the fountain drink stations and the bathrooms are very modern. Food and ticket prices are pretty expensive here, but nothing out of the ordinary for San Francisco movie prices. Finding the theater inside Metreon can be a surprisingly difficult task for first-timers, especially at night, so keep that in mind if its your first time coming to this theater.

This movie house is very huge and spacious inside. The had the friendliest and accommodating ushers and usherettes. They politely guide the kids and seniors to their seats! The place is clean and tidy. It is our go-to whenever we wanted to watch a movie. And it was located near our place, so its accessible.

Comfy. An enjoyable escape on a rainy Saturday.The seats recline nicely so its not very noticeable when youre closer to the screen than you usually prefer. The seats arent heated like some locations, but thats alright as the theater is a comfortable temperature.Staff is friendly and helpful; which, is the opposite of my experience with the online customer support representatives (plural). Fortunately, the people at the theater actually care that you are fairly charged and though the corporate computer system keeps their hands tied they can manage to set things right if you can be a bit flexible yourself.

Cheap, convenient parking (for the city) across the street. This theater is particularly well-liked for me just because they do play limited release movies very consistently. The seats are very comfy, and the actual movie-watching experience is always a great one. Automated kiosks makes entry pretty quick and easy. Expect standard concessions prices unfortunately.

Really big IMAX theater! I saw Birds of Prey here. This place does get packed and the restrooms do get loaded. Im a guy and usually we get in and out. The mens room can have lines here. Be ready.Its a nice spot. Los of resturants and stores near by. Only flaw I can think of is parking is paid and difficult. Also the first couple of rows in IMAX will hurt your neck so sit further away. Enjoy!

Great employees. Super helpful. Super friendly. Cant say enough nice things about them. We sat in row G and we should have sat up higher. The seats dont recline enough to make it comfortable to watch the movie from the middle to lower rows.

Bummed concessions are closed but was able to see a great movie for only $5 (Get Out)

AMC Metreon movie theater is nearly perfect. Large reclining seats, reserved seating, a wide variety of standard, and 3D screen options, soft drinks, water, slurpee, alcoholic beverages, and standard movie theater fare. It is not perfect due to the seemingly indifferent staff, and movie theater food that neither has a wide selection, nor Innovative cuisine, as is the trend in other movie theaters trying to personalize the experience. 16 movie theater available. Clean, gender-specific bathrooms. Wheelchair accessible, with elevator, escalators, and stairs. Nearby garage parking at the Fifth & Mission Garage. $$$ out of $$$$$ with AMC Stubs, and a list memberships (about $15 per year), to avoid service charges, and upgrading size on Coca-Cola, and popcorn options, not to mention a dedicated FasTrak line for concessions, and ticket scanning. Many other goodies available too, making the annual fee worth it. I would recommend AMC Metreon 16 movie theater.

Last night I was there for Birds of Prey. It was an amazing movie watching experience with friends after a long time. The seats are so comfy and enough space to walk. The first thing I am very impressed with this AMC Metreon is nothing but IMAX - amazing quality and sound system is top notch. I guess this is gonna be my usual place for movie night.

Comfortable seats, clean high tech bathrooms.

My favorite movie theater with couch seats! Take advantage of half-price Tuesdays!

Very nice theater with food places all over! Tried the ramen vending machines! Absolutely love the experience, so interesting and entertaining! The ramen turns out pretty good too!

I had an event at this location. The staff were on point, they helped me and my group. Its a great place for special events. Staff were cleaning up quickly and open to any changes during the event. I would definitely interested in having another event here.

Greate Theater! I highly recommend going to a Real 3D Movie if you have the time and money, also if you dont get sick with motion sickness. The chairs recline all the way and nice privacy.The entrance to the theater is remarkable and archetecticted for a theater experience. I really enjoy being in the moment, and I went to a movie after sunset, and knew by the time im out it would be dark, and being the holiday season it was such an amazing experience, even after the movie. Walked down to the park and saw the waterfalls.TIPS:1. Buy ticket on Atom, or online to save time.2. While you buy ticket online you also reserve your seat ahead of time as well.2. Know what you want to get in terms of food because it is kinda pricey.3. Go to the bathroom ahead of time4. Run down the hall because it feel like an invite to do so.6. Find your Seat that you reserved7. Enjoy the movie!

Good theatre with a good selection of food. Check in is super easy. I bought my tickets online and they texted my tickets to me. I only had to show them a QR code on my phone and I was in. Also the seats are comfy recliner chairs with foot rests so comfort wasnt an issue.My only complaint is that after the movie my back was a little sweaty from the chairs fake leather, but I get it. You make sacrifices for ample seating space and foot rests. Also that material is easier to clean and more hygienic than others so it makes sense.Overall solid theatre. Id use it again when I want to see a movie.

I love IMAX movies. They really make you feel like you are in the movie. They now have a “ vip” line so you need a special membership if you want to move fast on the line for popcorn. If you get stuck on the nonmember line you’ll wait until ALL THE VIP’s get service which I find to be disrespectful to regular costumers ( out of the 2 cashiers they had , both where taking orders ONLY FROM THEIR VIP LINE , the rest waited aprox 30 minutes to get any attention from them. I would have appreciated if it was one cashier for vips and one for the regular line) . Their popcorn is hit and miss. Sometimes it’s fresh other times it’s old and cold.

If you are downtown in San Francisco and looking to catch a good movie then look no further. In all my years of traveling the United States it doesnt get much better than this. As you walk in the Theatre you are greeted with a somewhat unconventional arrangement. Instead of just a boring box office you are delighted by the wonderful smells and visual delight of many decadent restaurants. They make dinner and a movie become all that more inviting. From steak to sushirito and all in between you can even have coffee served by a robotic arm. As you are ready to purchase your tickets you have the option to speak with a employee as normal or use the kiosks which I must say are greatly convenient. Some of which even accept cash. As you make your way to your theatre the layout of the building itself is a visually appeasing adventure. Everything is spick and span squeaky clean. I cant forget the large concession stand on the second floor for all your snacks and beverages. The theatres themselves are clean and smell nice with very comfortable chairs, careful or you might just end up paying to take a nap! Overall the experience they have quilted together is a wonderful time, how one would expect and want a movie experience to be. A pleasure as soon as you walk In the door and it lasts until you walk out! Thank you for reading hopefully you can see me there in the lovely park which is directly outside the Theatre and equally wonderful!

Watched 1917. dont sit in the last row. Good recliners, they are so good the bottom half of the screen can be cut if you are a bit short like me.

Used to be reasonably priced with early bird prices and a arcade to play games with before the movie began. Now its just overpriced snacks and popcorns. Miss the days when there was two AMC movie theaters, especially when it was on Van Ness Street, now that one was a movie theater worth going to. Metreon is average, Century in Daily City is now the go to for movies!

Best theatre in San Francisco.Pros:Located in one of the best SOMA areaHuge garden behind the theatreGreat restaurants at the ground floorPrivate party with city view on topReserved seatingIMAX and Dolby screensImax screen with around 500 person capacityReclining seats in most screensVariety of Snacks optionsCons:Very crowded on weekends

Not anything particularly amazing about this theater (other than the view of the customer lounge area...wow! I felt like I was looking at the Avengers home base!) But they have assigned seating and a Macguffin bar (why are the AMC MacGuffin bars a disaster w sporadic hours and lack of standard bar condiments?) So, what the heck

Love this movie theater so big has alot of things other movie theater dont have !!

Well maintained theater despite the massive amounts of traffic it gets. Includes MacGuffins bar and seating area for 21+ ticketholders.

Super cool staff ... Very accommodating and helpful Ive been here 30 times and each time been more than satisfied

JUST GO SEE A FILM HERE! its amazing. Seriously the screen is American sized and the audio physically shakes you. Its incredible and Id recommend it to anyone.

Watched the Dolittle AE advanced screening, like the seat!

Expensive tickets for unclean and unkept location. AMC is very disappointing now.

What can I say. A great place to see movies. After the movie you can go to the 4th floor and get a great view of city

Awesome movie theater with the most comfortable cushy seats Ive ever sank in.

It’s in a shiny mall near FiDi in SF, so I can’t fairly fault high prices. It’s a little weird that the ticket purchase area by the entrance is unstaffed, at least at times, and you’re in your own with the machines, but they’re pretty user friendly. And matinees are surprisingly inexpensive, even comparing with the Regal in Jack London, Oakland. The seats are the giant, individually adjustable ones, and you can adjust the back and the footrest separately. The temperature was comfortable, not too cold like theaters sometimes are. The screen was big and even non-center seats were okay. The sound was also good, not obnoxiously loud like in some theaters. The theater is a bit tricky to find if you haven’t been before, but it works out, as long as you’re not in too much of a hurry. But there were a solid 22 minutes or so of previews, annoying, but standard for the big chains.

+s: Friendly. Modern cinema. A lot of places to eat near by.Cons: too hot water in restrooms.

My favorite theatre in the city. If you are an AMC A-list member, this theatre is the most convenient theater in the city. This theater is giant with 10+ screens, plays a lot of movies at the same time, and plenty of amenities. Nearly all seats recline (super comfortable), the theater is super clean, and snack choices are plentiful. Would never go to any other movie theater in the city if I can help it.

I went to watch angel has fallen. The theater has changed a bit since the last time Ive been here. Now serving alcohol and food choices is better. Price still steep. Movie I watch was ok... but great message. Liked the part 1 & 2 better.

Star Wars in the Dolby Cinema was amazing! Movies like this are a much better experience in the Dolby Cinema. Gon on Tuesdays for a huge discount!

I love amc but this place is special the best in the Bay area.Recliners seats , imax screen is crazy huge and the food court is good as well

Very dirty, there’s popcorns underneath the seats. How do I know? I knew because I accidentally dropped my eye glasses in between the seats and found that out lol. But the BTS movie was lit

Love the Dolby surround sound! So good my seat was shaking

Great place nice seating

The chairs are impressively comfortable and recline to a great extent! I hope every movie I want to see is offered here! We reserved our tickets through the app and printed them out at the kiosk on the ground level just past the food court. Before the show we stopped and purchased two large sodas and one large popcorn that cost more than one 3D movie ticket. Lol well whats a movie without soda and popcorn. Despite the popularity of this movie place and the location. Its a relatively clean place the staff was cordial and the staff levels were just enough to keep up with the volume of patrons. I definitely plan on returning.

At one time, Metreon was the jewel of downtown. High foot traffic and visibility has attracted an element of homelessness and inner-city youth that has noticeably dulled its sheen. The ever-present guards and police remind you that the constantly broken lights, windows, and public appliances and the thin patina of dust，scum, spatter stains, and sticky dirt that seems to encrust everything has a particular origin, and the Metreon owners are deeply comfortable with it. Still, tolerable food can be found in the food courts, Target is there for you, and there are plenty of showtimes at the theatre. Just dont expect clean seats or smiling service.

Good cinama

Love how big this theater is! It even has a night club at the top of it! And the seats! Full cushy recliner seats!

Watched 1917 here. Nice comfy articulating seats. Convenient and cheap parking across the street.

This movie theater is great not to include the exorbitant amount of shopping that can be done here as well. Right a cross from quite a few museums I.e. SF MOMA, childrens museum & an amazing park. So after youre done with that you can also check out a movie or a little shopping maybe even get a bite to eat. The seats are reclining and the theater & consessions are located upstairs. Also theres a sweet view of the city when you go up thats a win for me.

Saw star wars IX in 3D imax and was blown away by the experience. Fantastic screen and sound. The seats rumble from the action.

Had a good experience here. More expensive than I was thinking but overall a good experience. Its based in a mall so you can easily go eat or go shopping while you wait for your movie to start. I didnt interact with the staff too much but they were friendly. The theater was clean and the seats were comfy, except I would have liked for the chairs to recline since the IMAX screens are so big.

Place has great seats and great sound. But when i went back to get my free refill of soda i was confronted by the security guard. And he was very mean and very rude. I said i was getting my refill and he told me he wanted to see my ticket stub or he would escort me out. And before I even got to reach in my pocket for it he stepped closer to me and said I wanna see it NOW or I will show you down the stairs. I was actually a little scared of him. I WILL NEVER BE BACK.I tell all my friends to stay away from there how..

Place was great. Theater was clean. The seats were comfortable. For those worrying about parking your car since this place is in the middle of downtown SF. Dont be! Theres a parking garage right across the street! Park your car there, see a movie, and walk around downtown SF.

It was great and I am planning to watch IP Man 4 next Tuesday after school

Good big movie theatre. Big Blockbuster movies. Comfy recliner seats. All the usual stuff like overpriced popcorn and soda.

Here for knives out movie. They Helped us with gold amc tickets and helped changing seats last minutes, from two different customer service. Thank you for the help!

It was just alright in my opinion, I have not been to this theater at all. Seats are reserved beforehand so make sure you order tickets online if you really wanna see a movie.I saw John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and bought tickets an hour before it showed. I was lucky enough to get a seat (in the second to last front seat to the left).The view was obstructed to a rather clumsy angle, in that I could see only certain parts of the screen better than others. I wasnt uncomfortable in the front row with the adjustable seats. My typical experience being front row is having to bend back your head and you dont really have to do that in this scenario at all.

Wow this theater is terrible! Went to get popcorn and the staff was too busy fooling around behind the counter to help right away. They begrudgingly went to the register to get my order after realizing theyre actually there to work. Got to my seat and the theater had not been cleaned at all after the last showing and there was popcorn everywhere and a salad container with bits of salad all around it on the floor (didnt know they sell salad at the movie theater). Terrible experience and Im definitely not going back to this ghetto place.

What can I say the theater is amazing that these are comfortable reclining it makes it smell so nice that you want to go back and watch a movie uncomfortable as being in your own living room in your favorite chair

Best IMAX screen in SF. Great experience overall...super clean and convenient location centrally in the city.

The Dolby sound theater was amazing, very immersive experience. The reclining seats were also comfy.

Surprising comfort. The red leather like seats recline with a foot rest that elevates. Thats a very healthy way to enjoy entertainment while returning fluids to the heart from the feet. Clean, spacious restrooms. Easy access from surface transit as well as the underground railways MUNI and BART. Parking just across the street in a six level garage.

I love that they have the monthly fee n u get to watch 3 movies per week. I love that the food u order arrives on time to ur seat...but the need to replace some of the chairs.

Very good but for ther prices they are missing something I just dont know what

I went there for the movie Ne Zha with my friends. The theater is spacious, seat is comfortable and has good support for the back and head. The movie is IMAX 3D and I have to say that its quality is fabulous on its big screen. In the center there are also Target and quite a few food and drink stores. It also provides kiosk for self-ticketing. Outstanding experience there.

Beautiful theatre! Very comfortable seats! They recline!

Fun place to watch a show for sure. Ticket prices for the early bird are decent. Seats in the IMAX theater sit too low compared to the screen and do not recline. Nicely located and good food court options before the show.

My favorite, hands down favorite, place to see films. Their massive IMAX is INCREDIBLE, especially in 3D with sound also jaw dropping. I have my UHD curved TV at home, with 7.2 surround, but nothing is better than watching a movie here. Plus theres many great food places in and around the theater for the perfect date.

This is a very subjective review, as I am basing this review entirely on my personal visits to the Metreon. Your mileage may vary, please note.I have known the Metreon for decades, and while it offers a variety of entertainment (in my experience, they offer some of the best pictures and sounds when it comes to movies.) I will never forgot the time when I watched Justice League here; it literally blown my mind away.But again, this was a preview held for fans (not open to the general public, except for a handful of seats. I was one of the very few who was lucky enough to have gotten the tickets.), so maybe the sponsors reserved the very best equipment both in terms of picture and sound as perks to us fans.In general, lines were long, and signs and directions were not always clear. The seats were, however, very comfortable, but if you visit the concession stands, the prices were quite high.By the way, the AMC is close to big names like Starbucks and Target, all part of Metreon, so if you were not as impressed as I was with Metreons picture and sound, maybe come here for some household goods or spend an afternoon with some coffee (and hopefully find a quiet corner to yourself).

I go here a lot not because I love it but because the old Van Ness AMC is closed down. Good theater, everythings pretty meh, nothing too exciting or too not exciting.

Every time I come to this place there is some homeless person in the theater along with all their garbage just laid out on a several seats. And I come here almost every week. The staff here have to know when they let them in. Who knows what kind of bugs they may bring in with them

Great movie theatre, with on of the largest screens i have ever seen.

Went to the premiere of John Wick last night. The theatre was clean very comfortable seating the chair reclined. The theatre was packed. The movie was AMAZING!!!! I wont ruin it for anyone but l do advise you to go see this action thrilling laughter seat clinching movie its worth it. Keanu Reeves out did his character not one dull moment.

Nice experience. Great seats. Easy to get in and out.

Went to the IMAX, wish it was film not digital. Image looks kind of soft at that size. Overall was a nice theater.

The most comfortable seating for a movie theater possible! Just like a living room recliner.

Every theater Ive been in had pleather seats that recline! Five stars for that! Concessions is also good and bathroom almost never has a wait. Convenience of being in the mall is also nice for some quick soft serve or coffee or boba.

This is a great theater, with adult beverages and comfortable recliners.Nice lounge area.

You will have a 3 feet wall in front of your chair.It reclines but not good for kids since they will see the wall in front of them

Great movie selection and comfortable reclining seats.

The theater we were in didnt have reclining seats but it was IMAX so maybe that had something to do with it. theater was modern, very clean, and our whole process was streamlined and super easy and efficient

A very large, comfortable movie theater. Many choices for what to watch. Consession stands are amazing and restaurants below too.

Love this theater right in the heart of San Francisco. Always current on there movies. Great reclining seats.

Great theater, lots of tasty food options. Seats are very cozy on the bum, and have a lot of space to spread out. I love the soda machines, they are excellent. XOXOXOXOXO

Big building. Too few cashiers at concessions Nice seats, but our seats were dirty with dried food stuck to them. Like a flashback to 1999 inside.

Generally good. The ticket price was reasonable. Service was good, though a little slow. Otherwise seats were comfy, though don’t recline too much. Overall good.

This is the best theater I have ever been to. I wish every theater was this good. I would love to see Rouge One here but that will require me getting in a plane. It would be totally worth it.

Awesome city views.

Saw King Kong here great sound !!! Dolby Atmos surround on steroids!!

Place can definitely be cleaner. Not sure if I had deflective IMAX 3d glasses when I was last there. But there was a lot of light glare from the side of the glasses that were extremely distracting. Moving from towards the middle to the back helped migrate the problem. Update 9/29 Noticed their Imax screen had 2 greyish spots which was noticeable during bright scenes (white/blue images made it more noticeable), 1 was in the middle on the upper third of the screen, and 1 was on the far right side.

Comfortable seats, clean restrooms. But their snack bar is pricey.

Decent AMC. Great if you have A-List since they have so many screens. Have had a few poor experiences in screenings with talkative/cell phoney audiences.

The I-Max experience was really great with the exception of the over priced concessions and the price of the ticket was really expensive. the movie itself was really good.

Fast food of movies fairly hit or miss on the quality. If you dont sweat the small things, comfortable and not always to busy.

Best movie theater in SF. Love the Metreon since it opened in 2000! Been ups and downs and anyone who remembers the PlayStation store knows all about that(store was awesome but everything else around took a dive)! Now its still a great theater, has many food options in and around, and is much safer then before being downtown. I like it alot....

Love this cinema. Seats so comfortable.

I miss all the old stuff. Otherwise its fine.

I will never return to this theatre. I was in the seating area with a friend and saw a mouse run across the floor. In under 10 minutes I counted 3 different mice. They are NOT afraid of people, one of them came right up to my chair. Do NOT buy food or see a film here. I spent $30 on food. God only knows what was in it.

When you take your crush on a date and you need some cover to get that first kiss in, this is the place, with super-surround, hyper-Dolby ver. 68735.5, and hi res digital analog transfer rate for the clearest picture, no one will ever know you two were smooching like the end of the world, (or your side busting relatives) were coming for you. Great popcorn too.

Not cheap especially for out of country tourism.Food is okay. Definitely movie food and not recommended as a replacement for super.Carpeting and decor are a little tacky for such a nice building to house.Seating is good. Ticket verification line is just a mess of poles and rope.

Loved the Movies I GO See there with my Daughter and Family.

Friendly people, nice atmosphere and very helpful Guards at the front door :--)

I saw end game here and it was amazing I had front row seats but it didnt feel like it was front row which was amazing. I am still in aww of that movie and the theater. The service was also top notch

What a cool theater- all the comfy seats. Different kinds of movies to be seen in different formats- IMAX, Real 3D, or Digital -and great staff. So dont forget to become a Stubs member! Very reasonable. Never feels crowded and always very clean! See you there!
