Great service! Get there early or use the computerized ticket machines(when they work). Buy some snacks too they make the whole movie experience special!

Mall parking can get a little zooy around the theater, but they have a good slate of films . If you want affordable , try for the matinees.

Harold Garcia

When looking for parking look at the strip of green lights indicate empty parking spaces and red for full parking spaces . There's a screen at the end that tells you how many are available.

Brian Ives

leave a LOT of time to get there in time for the movie , parking is tough there, especially near Xmas season. make reservations for grand lux before your movie .

Chris Raghoobar

Another indication of the pure gluttony that is the Garden State Plaza . But it IS a very nice movie theater , which is always good to have. Having a Stubs card certainly helps.

Michael Vierra

Dolby Atmos, IMAX with reserved seating. Up to date accommodations and offers large format theaters. Get their loyalty card it absolutely pays itself off in just a few visits with tons of extras.

Viktor Gamov

It's my favorite movie theater in the area. Good seats, not very crowded despite being close to garden state plaza . Check out their Dolby @AMC. The best movie experience

Amb

Really comfortable seats and great viewing experience. Avoid coming here on weekends as the lines are really long and the theatre and mall are filled with teenagers.

Jhonni Lima

Popcorn . The whole place smells like popcorn which is a bit disgusting. However the 3D rooms are amazing and experience it's really good

James V

Try this if you go with multiple people: buy 1 large popcorn and 1 large soda (refills on larges are free). Have a girl put a few paper lunch bags and cups in her purse . Fill everybody up and refill.

Bill, one of the theater managers here is the king of movie knowledge and you should count yourself lucky if you get to be at one of his q&a sessions before your movie starts ...

Juan Estrella

Great place for a date as long as you can find parking . The parking lot has green lights indicating open spots.

Nikka

Great movie theater , cheap ass tickets before noon , but don't expect to find parking within the mall 's proximity. Park in one of the parking buildings by the department stores and walk through the mal

Dave Sosson

So insane here on a Sat nite. Must be the apex of the universe . My tip is to valet park . It's only $5 and you can get your keys back and get car yourself.

Stephen Vogel

The theater itself is great. Clean auditoriums , good sound. But get there early if you want to buy anything at concession stand. The slowest people you will ever find are behind the counter.

Jason H.

Sneak in your own snacks . The concession stand line is HUGE!

Michael O

Be there an hour early if its a new release. But the top notch sound & projection and cool lobby make up for long lines and twenty-five minutes of previews.

Erving Ortiz

Avengers was very good. Considering it featured multiple "superheroes", the film manages to interweave the plot and each heroes input to preserving peace and freedom on earth. Cliche but entertaining.

Oscar F.

$7.50 tickets before noon (up from $6). Best to go on Sundays when the area stores are all closed, thus no traffic and easy parking !

Mary-Irene Marek

Seating along large main aisles is perfect for kids who need to stand or move around a lot during the film .

Anna Repole

Great AMC, it’s very large and the lines are never awful.

Meagan Loo

Always a great place to see movies although parking sucks cause the mall is always crowded .

Ben Schuckman

You know you want to go for those Watermelon sour patch! (But only if you don't have a craving for chocolate right now!)

Jan Michael Reyes

Clean bathrooms , Big Imax theatre, Bigg erythinng!! I love this shiit

Nina Ottaviano

Great service. Can pick seats in advance online for IMAX!

Diane Stevens

Movie and previews too loud . Everything else great, best is assigned seating

Greg Dvorken

To move concession lines , I recommend that AMC staff concessions with money handlers and order fillers. We're trying to get to a movie , people... these lines are slow as balls!

Pam Rosenthal

Went to see the new mission impossible movie . It was really good. A definite thumbs up. Go see it!

Sergey Birioukov

12am on Thursday/Friday is when you can watch all new movies before rest see it on Friday night when it's packed.

VΣΣ

This movie was sick... Def worth it!!! I would watch it again lol :D #thumbsup

Ruslan Remindeble

Great and memorable place

Int'l Reg!

$6 for all shows before 12 noon daily. Want to see the new flicks for cheap without the crowd? Try weekend mornings.

Dadeo

Definetly worth going early $6.00 movie tickets and no one is around I LOVE IT!!!!

Michaela Covino

This movie theater is AWESOME!!! Check out oz the great and powerful awesome movie .

Raul Ortiz

Get the stubs card .. help out with rediculous prices.. only $12 a yr

Kenito

Get here early for movie premiers, especially IMAX. Line was out into mall even an hour before the movie . A great theatre to see any movie .

Chris Burke

Insiders know about the "secret" lounge / restroom area upstairs.

Brittany Morgan

going to see the new transformers movie with my besties ????????????????????

Xima

Sometimes can get away with buying a child ticket at the machine - they don't always check when they let you through.

Sarah Fields

Large, clean stadium seating theatres

Brian Felix

If you have the option to buy your tickets ahead of time, please do. This theater gets packed on Fridays & Saturdays. When new releases come out.

Hamoud AlDabbous

Decent cinema with good prices. Didn't like their popcorn but overall it's good

Erin McGuire

Stubs card is worth it if you watch lots of movies

Nikki Cawley

Assigned seats are always preferred.

People acting stupid and getting in fights over seats. 2 separate parties This is why I rent. AMC handled it as well as they could to their credit.
