AMC Hoffman Center 22

Great movie theater in Virginia. I enjoyed the customer service in the movie theater seating. Will go soon with friends.

Great location, great building, nice concession area but this location fell short with the seating. You would have thought that with all of the details they would have reclining seating. AMC Hoffman you missed the mark on this one. The lines can get pretty long so use Fandango to purchase tickets and go past the long line to the usher who will scan your phone to admit you.

I love this theater. Easily accessible from the beltway and metrorail. There is free parking. The staff is pleasant and friends. This theater is very clean.

Watched Leo ‘s last movie, Reverent, there. I enjoyed every moment of the movie, totally recommend. Beside my brief opinion on the movie I can only tell that as long as theater is close by, as long as it has plenty of parking, as long as there are resturants and bars around, as long as pop corn is good, as long as seats are comfortable, as long as bath rooms are nice and clean, as long as staff are friendly, as long as inside the hall is silent during movie, what else I would need ;) 5 it is.

The AMC22 Hoffman Center, Alexandria VA theater had really sticky floors and was way too warm. The food bar personnel were very impersonal and almost rude. They tried to make their errors the customer’s fault. When I spoke to what I assumed was a manager I got a «what do you want me to do» response and I figure for $ 65 for 2 people to see a movie with snacks, I want to you realize that you are a customer service responsive person and listen and be a manager of your employees. I have not been to the movies in several years as there have been no good reasons to go out and now this theater has soured me as another reason I can wait for Netflix or Redbox.

They screens and seats are great, but it’s the service here that really kills the experience. Arrive early, because you’ll be in a long line to buy a ticket, and then another long line if you wanted popcorn/​snacks/​drinks. The complex itself is large with many screens and wide range of movies to watch. For the just released blockbusters there are theaters for 400 people (maybe larger), and they also show 3D or IMAX movies in addition to the 2D. I have no qualms with AMC theaters elsewhere, but this specific one always seems to have slow service.

What a movie theater should be. It’s big, clean and the kiosks are great but are out of order quite a bit. The addition of the high tech self serve soda machines are a nice touch. Garage parking is only $ 1 when main parking is full. Overall a very nice theater and great movie watching experience.

This theatre does not deserve any stars! The worst movie theatre in the area. The lines are long, the theaters are small and always full. But this is not the worst thing! The staff is slow and tremendously rude.

This is the biggest AMC I have been to — a super high ceiling with three levels, although I’ve never seen the middle level open for screen. The escalator is so long that I always almost get nauseous about ¾ up, but there’s a lift as well.
Concession stands are on the ground level and on the top level, and there is a huge outdoor parking lot across from the building. There is also a covered, multi-​level parking facility next to the building with a fee, and it’s a tempting option especially in the summer.

I went to go see Chiraq and I kept hearing squeaking and yep they had mice. I left and got my money back. Never going back. I was super pissed about this.

Horrible place to watch a movie on a Saturday night. The place wreaked of marijuana due to the people sitting next to me. Everyone was constantly utilizing their cell phone while the movie was playing. Also, there was teenagers wrestling near the exits during the movie. Horrible movie experience. I’m never going there again!

This is a solid choice for a chain movie theater.
AMC Hoffman is yet another AMC that just happens to be reasonably convenient in Alexandria. It’s a huge location with a ton of screens — some IMAX, others standard. The entire location is very nicely laid out and reasonably (but not perfectly) clean. You can use kiosks to buy tickets, which I like, though one of the kiosks was broken, slowing things down somewhat.
I saw an IMAX movie here and was reasonably happy. The price of the ticket was a bit high — about $ 18 — and the popcorn/​drink were also rather expensive — ~$ 15, I think? — but that’s normal for places like this. The screen was huge and seating was comfortable and plentiful, so no complaints on that front.
The only real issue I had here was, as usual, the other patrons. Some people were a bit loud for my tastes, and some in the theater were commenting throughout the movie a bit more than I’d have liked. Not a huge deal — and not really to the degree that warranted kicking them out — but still kinda irritating.

THERE WERE MICE RUNNING THROUGH THE THEATER! I went here to see Sicario and had to leave 30 minutes in, because of a huge mouse running through the theater. There may have been more than one as I heard squeaking in other areas of the theater. I spoke to the manager, Alicia, and she was not surprised at all. She even admitted that there have been other complaints of mice during the show. Several people left the 10:30 show after me for this reason.
I will never go here again.

I’ve been here on three separate occasions, and each time my movie experience has been ruined by idiots who want to talk during the entire movie. Don’t really get why these retards buy a ticket to a movie, and not even pay attention to it.
The place draws a bad crowd, the parking is bad, it’s dirty, and watching a movie at night requires an active police presence.
Don’t waste your hard earned money here. Go somewhere else that draws a crowd with some class and manners.

Well, I didn’t get to see much. They were sold out of tix for the movie we wanted, which is no big deal. It happens. My low rating comes from how useless the people inside were. It was painful just to find someone and when we did we wished we hadn’t. Oh, did I mention parking SUCKS here?

This is a pretty good theater, with individual theaters that range widely in size and quality. There are eight (I think) large theaters on the ground floor, and the remainder are much smaller theaters upstairs. These are basic, modern, pretty clean theaters, with good sightlines and mostly comfortable seats. Hoffman shows a good variety of movies and is able to hold onto some longer than other theaters because of the number of available screens. The staff that’s present is always efficient and friendly, but the staff is often much too small for the crowd, resulting in long lines at the ticket booth — despite the available self-​serve computers that re often down or confusing — and at the downstairs snack bar. (There’s also an upstairs snack bar, but I’ve never been here when it’s been open.)

No bad smell!
Large theater with lots of showings.
You can order tickets from a terminal instead of waiting in line.

This is a perfectly nice multi-​cinema theater. I have been here for preview events, special screenings as well as regular movies.
Some aspects of the set-​up is a little counter intuitive especially if you are seeing a movie on one of the second floor screens. You purchase tickets on the first floor and have to loop around to get to the escalator that is blocked on one side. (I am guessing they had folks going to movies without tickets… frankly, I think the real problem that they placed the sales area in the middle of the entry floor, probably for the visual, instead of closer to the point of entry. This in combination with the positioning of the escalators is the great example of designing for visual effect without practicality in mind.)
The women working the counter was very nice and engaged. I am also happy to report the theater was an OK temperature. The sound has been good and the seating is nice with high backs.

We’re happy with this movie theatre, but there are a few draw backs. First, though the Rea is new and beautiful, there are constantly police cars due to the fact that it has become a Mecca for muggers, taking advantage of unsuspecting movie goers. Secondly, the movie theaters aren’t always cleaned adequately between shows.
The seats are comfortable and

True story: My little sister gifted me with AMC tickets this past Christmas. Since the boyfriend and I usually watch movies at Regal cinemas (because it’s closer to our place), AMC Hoffman was the closest one to us with the best times for «The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.»
It’s a huge movie theater with 22 screens. You can find parking in their lot, or the $ 1 garage around the corner. Our movie was being played upstairs, and there’s also a concession stand as well as bathrooms upstairs for your convenience. Our theater was super crowded and there were even people sitting in the front row!
We had a pleasant experience, but we’ll most likely stick closer to home next time around.
