In regular theaters the best rows are D & E... If you go to Imax anything close to the very back is better since the screen is huge! And seats do not recline ???????? thank me later ????

You must try the Dolby theater if audio quality is important to you. It’s the best in the city .

Joseph Le

Comfortable reclining seats. Reserved seating so make sure to buy online or come early

Wilson Favre-Delerue

Conveniently located multiplex . Concession as expensive as you'd expect, screens and sound systems top notch. I'd like to see a few more international flicks but that's not realistic for AMC.

Tom Coates

The Dolby theatre here is *really* good. Great sound, comfy seats and amazing screen. If you don’t care about 3D, I think it’s better than the IMAX.

Damian Bayona

Comfy reservable and reclinable seats. The Dolby cinemas are ????????

David DyTang

Head towards the left side of the concession stand for the bar and real drinks. Dolby Cinema is certainly worth the higher price!

Trent Ryan

Great Theater! They have a real IMAX theater as well as a great premium large format theater with Atmos. Food is expensive but now bad for a theater.

Sarah Deming

Best movie theater in the city . Great because how the seats are set up you can’t see people in the rows in front or behind you so feels much more private.

Hamdi Ben Lagha

Best cinema in San Francisco. Amazing sound, room comfortable , and imax screen so impressive ! Discount on Thursday for students !!!

Khalid

Nice place with extra comfy seats

Heather Rodriguez

The new adjustable chairs are super comfortable .

Eric Sabban

Good for big budget movies ???? in IMAX 3D. There are other theaters if you have to park a car in a place. Great garage to steal anything visible.

Alex Zariv

If all of the self-service ticket kiosks are in use, there's a few upstairs near the concession stands and to the side of the arcade area. (I didn't even know there was an arcade !)

David

Pro tip: there's never a line at the ticket machine hidden upstairs.

Alejandro Franceschi

This is the only genuine #IMAX in the city , the others are large screens , but not IMAX. As of this post, the only real IMAX that can do #HFR in #3D is an hour by train or car in Dublin; sad but true.

Shirin Jafari

Couch seats couch seats couch seats that recline . Get a popcorn and feel like home.

Kendal Cockrel

My favorite AMC in the city . Ticketing is on the 1st floor and the actually theaters are on the 3rd. Assigned seats only so buy in advance!

adriana castro

Rally good and comfortable seats even in the front row imax is amazing

Gaurav B.

Good sound and screens but I prefer century seats. They are way more comfortable . Also try getting tickets through Costco, save a few bucks!

Ellen McGrody

The Metreon is actually really nice! $14.00 IMAX shows at 9 AM, lots of great arcade games , and beautiful views of the city !

Christian Niles

There is a second entrance to the theaters after passing the concession stands. There's never a line , and it's closer to most theaters (numbers 5 and up)

Amy B

Recliners . All the sodas . Get there early to claim a good spot.

Overall, it was a good experience but IMAX was written everywhere (including publicizing the latest movie in IMAX) yet IMAX was out of commission didn't find this out until after standing on line .

Jean-Pierre Pommet

I expected the etx audit to be furnished with leather seats like in time square NYC. Well it was not the case at all.

Matt Lew

Don't wait for a kiosk. Just go up to the counter where they have new self-kiosks. Makes it go faster.

Bennett W Wong

There are automated ticket kiosks available which is definitely a lifesaver. Movies can also be seen in IMAX resolution for the best quality possible.

Juan Antonio Sandoval

Best movie theater in the city . Try the Dolby one. Very good sound quality

Carlos Ochoa

You definitely have to try the IMAX 3D, it is a great experience and you can reserve your seats. :)

Karen

Super comfortable , reclining seats that can be reserved well in advance.

Oscar Gothberg

They don’t sell coffee , despite it being listed on the concession stand menu. Save yourself 20 minutes of standing in line to find out.

J T

The popcorn buttering stations let you put unlimited butter into your popcorn .

Kelly

A lot of theaters and always playing the top hits. Most theaters have the reclining seats.

Kawashima Shinji

Lots of places to eat at 1st floor, get Cako ice cream or cupcakes before going to the cinema . Girls would love it.

Keith Harris

Dolby Vision and IMAX screens are great. Get AMC A Lost yo make your life easy.

Kevin ⚡ Liu

If you want normal-sized snacks , get a kid's meal (small soda and kid's popcorn ) and just tell the guy to pack the popcorn down real good

Daniela Giacobbo

Amazing view ! You should go to visit the rooftop .

Stephanie Lay

Assigned seating for special showings(opening nights and such). Good candy selection . Reasonably comfy seats .

Basia Bowens

If you're going to see an IMAX movie , look at the seat number on your ticket and sit it that seat.

Mike Davis

You can bring food from the food court downstairs into the theater.

Benjamin Earl Evans

If you see more than 1 movie a month the Stubbs membership is totally worth it.

Jo Jo

Bring a wetnap just in case. They don’t clean seats in between shows, so if your reserved seat is dirty from the previous person, who happen to spill nacho cheese or ketchup on the seat.

Tom Coates

You can skip the line for the ticket machines if you go upstairs to the theatre. There are other machines at the far end of the entry hall no one uses

Adrienne C

Holy crap...the IMAX is $17.50! Yikes. They did issue like 4 free popcorn coupons for future use... I plan to redeem one every time I am in the area shoppimg to blanace things out.

Brodie Olmstead

Great for seeing blockbuster films in IMAX or 3D. Sound system is top-notch.

Erik Cox

Skip the popcorn . It's always cold (they pre-pack it) and they make you put the butter on yourself, so halfway through you have butterless popcorn .

Mark E Sackett.com

They FREEZE the Junior Mints as the Universe intended!

Alex Zubchenko

Cool cinema . Free wifi . Huge imax screen. Seats are taken according to the tickets, thanks for that.

Shawn Calhoun

The new self-serve Soda machines are legit ????

Carmen Ibarra

There's a Target downstairs for your candy needs during the movie .
