This is THE place to go see an IMAX movie in the city . And if that’s not your thing, this theater does showcase more independent features. And the theater is clean and pleasant.

Yanique

Bring a sweater because it gets really cold in here,great theater nice and large so you don't feel too confined.Also no undesirables in sight to make the experience unpleasant.I'll be back here often!

Jae Hanley

Only real IMAX theater in the city save for the science museum . Order tickets ahead on Fandango for a big release and try to get the last four rows.

Chris Raghoobar

As my friend had informed me, this theater is the one Real IMAX theater around. And let me tell you, it’s as amazing as they say.

Mike Singleton

A true IMAX screen and audio that might make your ears bleed, it's the best theater in the city . All shows in IMAX are reserve seating, you'll need to get tix 4-5 days in advance to ensure a good seat

Josh Hinen

Great atmosphere, love the homages to old Hollywood. Cell reception is non-existent in underground theaters (could be seen as a feature). One of my favorite AMC’s.

Gothamist

This theater was the first to boast a suitably giant IMAX screen when it opened in 1994. It's still the number one spot in the city to catch a 3D or big-screen flick . Read more

Alexandra Santiago

I been coming here for a very long time bc I enjoy the theater style & atmosphere as oppose to other theaters in the area. Any time you are going to see any imax movie premier you must arrive early!

Amanda Nanawa

This screen is one of the largest IMAX screens in the US. My favorite IMAX theater

Angela Wen

The only real iMax in New York City . It's huge! Reserve your seats towards the back - screen goes really high

DoubleDeuce

The movies are good here. You can bring in snacks too, just put them in your bag.

Devonta

My favorite movie theater to catch a movie . It’s massive and is well laid out. You must get AMC A-List!

A Cinematic Marvel in the Heart of NYC! AMC Lincoln Square is a movie lover's paradise with fun themes and decorations. Expensive tickets in the city but the AMC pass is worth it if you love movies !

Bryan Burton

Absolute fave theaterplex in the city ! Aside from having the only “true” IMAX screen in the city (vs. “IMAX Experience”), & a double-decker screen, I ❤️ the historical nod to old NYC theater palaces .

Dan Lam

Second largest IMAX screen in the United States . If you're seeing an imax film here be sure to reserve your seats ahead of time and the last three rows are perfect for viewing without straining.

Javier G

The largest movie screen in the nation, what more can you ask for. Good customer service and clean theater

Ariel Viera

By all means try the Chicken Tenders , Mozzarella Sticks , Jalapeño Poppers , and the BBQ Chicken Pizza . Not all at once of course. AMC has amazing hot concessions with generous portions .

Chris Cookson

This is a really cool theater! It has an old timey feel with how the different theaters are themed. Something you rarely see for a major chain like AMC.

Will Scholl

Only real IMAX theater in the city . Reserved seating is a blessing. Sit in the balcony whenever available.

Oliver Navarro

If you are going to pay for a true IMAX showing, this is the place and the only place in NYC. Times Square, Kips Bay , and Union Square have converted IMAX screens from standard movie theater screens.

Tracey-Ann G.

This is my favorite movie theater in NYC. They're also the only real IMAX theater in NY State . I'm here practically every week. Believe me, you won't be disappointed!

Sameepa Shetty

Best AMC on the upper west. Conveniently located. Good meeting point for friends. Head over to Amsterdam avenue or Columbus circle for post movie food.

Damian Clayton

I forgot how I love this theatre this is how a movie theatre should look and the staff are phenomenal ! very professional and courteous!!! And the only actually IMAX theatre in NYC!!!

Bun Mano

The IMAX is on the 3rd level upstairs (auditorium #13), while theaters #1–9 are on the 2nd level, and theaters 10, 11, 12 are actually BELOW the ground level.

Dan Sohayda

My go-to for the real deal IMAX experience . Not cheap but also not one of those watered down fake IMAX theaters. Pick a seat high up so you're not straining your neck because the screen is huge!!

Carly Ayres

Super luxurious theatre with amazing balconies and comfy seats . And ICEEs!

Kris Concepcion

The IMAX theater is huge. When reserving seats, go ahead and take the last row.

Javier Herrera

best theater in all NYC my favorite theater saw star trek into darkness, well i only really come here to see the movies .. commute from queens to this theater but its worth it

Kevin B

Considered the best true IMAX screen in the United States . No better place to watch a movie in NYC.

Zach Linder

This is the only real IMAX in the five boroughs. All the rest are fakers and haters. For the Loews screen, sit in the balcony .

Valerie S

HUGE theater spanning several floors, so check where your film is screening when you buy your ticket. Reserved seats, but the basement theaters still have the old style, not leather recliners .

Lauren D

This place often gets movies about a week or so for many other theaters in the country do! Awesome opportunity to sneak peek movies before all of your friends!

Gary Reloj

Best IMAX in the Northeast! It makes sense to get an AMC card and use Fandango to buy tickets, the fees are waived.

Jack Holmes

The IMAX screen is truly colossal--definitely the place to see any big Hollywood action movies if they're playing in that format.

Michael Kim

The only true film IMAX in the city . You can purchase tickets in advance for specific seats. If you come in person, you can use vouchers with a $6 surcharge.

I K

I like this theater. Lots of options, comfortable seats . Popular movies get sold out so make sure to book in advance.

Stephanie DeDecker

Laid back movie theater spanning multiple floors - some of the theaters are quite older and could use a refresh. Go to the one on 84th if they are playing your movie

Greg Wong ????

The best seat position for watching is exactly 1.5 screen heights away from the screen front of the theater. Dead center middle of the row. If I'm here early enough that's where you can find me. .

Lee Lawrence

If you want to see a movie in true IMAX, this is where you go. If more movies played here without the 3D, I'd be there more often.

Gerald Rivera

Great movie theater with the real true IMAX theater and their IMAX theater is way better than the Time Square IMAX at AMC Empire 25

CC IndieRebel

I love coming to this theatre and getting my ticket from Ora. She is always pleasant and knowledgable about the films .

Amanda M

The IMAX here is incredible. Come here if you want a fantastic IMAX experience . Come here opening weekend to see movies in the Loews theaters. There is a balcony seating area that's great.

Efrain Pesantes

Get organized and arrive early. The best seats in the house go to the people that are inside these doors before the line grows down the corridor.

Nate Kowal

As many will say, the only real IMAX screen in the city . A very upper west side feel (very neighborhoodie).

Gabriel Hayes

The new 70 mm IMAX is amazing. Such an awesome visual experience. Definitely see a movie here with that if possible.

Bryant Balatbat

Best place for that true IMAX experience . You can even get pizza when watching IMAX. Make sure to get the triple meat pizza .

Mike O'Sullivan

One of the bigger theaters on the island . Best the rush and try to get seats in a theater with assigned seating.

Gabriel Hayes

Best IMAX in NYC . Only true IMAX screen . When buying tickets online, you can pick your seats

Steve Craig

Best IMAX theatre anywhere.

Dave Reed

The only true IMAX in NYC is absolutely worth the price of admission for the right movie (ie. Interstellar, Gravity, etc.)
