AMC The Parks At Arlington 18

My wife and I have enjoyed amc for years. However, we recently entered the theatre and noticed four new signs posted on the windows at the ticket center that prohibited both «open carry» and «concealed» guns. I can understand the prohibition of openly carried weapons. But why would concealed weapons be prohibited? The signs certainly won’t stop someone with evil intent, but it may give pause to a law abiding citizen with a concealed carry license. I’m not prone to paranoia, but I couldn’t help thinking that the theatre is opening itself to potential problems, especially since I didn’t notice any police presence.

Going to a late showing for Revenant. Although it’s a weekday and we’re the only ones here, the theatre is clean and they have staff greeting us. Never had an issue before and love the new AMC theme with the bar inside. I do wish the air hockey was working to kill some time before our movie.
Also wish they had a sign that told you where to park for the theatre since its inside the mall.

It’s a great theater to go to. Plus its closest to where I live. The IMAX is great put its not much bigger than a regular movie theater screen.

I will never go back to this theater to see a movie. It’s a holiday weekend, so of course the movies is a popular place to be. We walked in and noticed as we passed by that the elevator was broken, then also realized that the up escalator was broken… red flags. At the ticket window, there were only 3 people selling tickets and one was worried more about his cell phone. Then comes the concessions line. It is barely moving. The employees are all crowded around the popcorn machines literally waiting on popcorn to pop. No kidding. Apparently there was «something wrong» with them. I just want a drink people!
Finally get my drink and barely make it into the theater just as the movie was starting. Randomly about ½ way thru the movie, the lights come on, then dim about half way. After about 5 minutes they finally get turned off. I told the girl at the front that it was the worst movie experience I have ever had, and she just kinda shrugged her shoulders.
I’ll stick the the Eastchase theater.

Great theater! Up to date, nice screens and seats, good price of $ 10 for an evening showing on a weekday. We saw Star Wars VII and were happy to see it here!
Didn’t get to try the popcorn as we were in a bit of a rush. Bathrooms were clean. I’d come back!

Biggest night of the year (Star Wars opening) and they’re short staffed, no one at the box office and they don’t have hot dogs cooking yet.

Stale popcorn that I had to butter myself and beverages that I had to fill myself, make me question why there are employees at the counter at all. Moreover, the cost for this lack of service was over $ 20.00 for one large popcorn and two drinks. Making the unplesantness even greater. Simply one of the worst film going experiences I have had. At least the film made up for the lousy atmosphere.

Wow. $ 16 per ticket for an IMAX film that you have to watch through dirty used plastic glasses? That just seems out of control to me. The quality of sound and picture is great and all, the seats are relatively comfy and spacious, and the staff seems nice enough, but bleh… the positives end there. This theater is overpriced and a mess.
Why do I have to butter my own popcorn? You hand me this giant bag of ridiculously priced subpar popcorn, and then I have to take it to the sticky dirty butter station where greasy liquid butter is dripping all over the place. Ew. I put my popcorn down below the butter dispenser (because how else would you do it?) give it a couple pumps, and then walk over the the drink machine because you also have to fill your own drinks. And you know what, I really can’t stand those stupid drink machines that have 1 dispenser for 2 628 567 different drink varieties. Whatever you get always tastes a little weird like something else and you have to mess with a dirty touch screen.
So I’m hugging my popcorn while I fill my drink because there’s literally no place besides the messy floor to put down your things, and I end up with butter all over my shirt. I guess my bag got drenched when I set it down to butter it? Whatever, maybe I’m an idiot, but the whole ordeal was just a serious mess and my shirt has huge grease stains.
Then, there’s melted candy stuck to my seat and trash all over the floors in the theater. Those fabric covered seats freak me out, like airplane seats. You know a million people sit in them and they don’t get cleaned well. Blah.
I’m not a fan of going to the movies, and this latest experience reinforced my disdain. What a bummer.

I don’t know why I don’t like going to the movies here that much, it is one of the pricier theatres in the area. It’s always clean, the seats are regular movie seats, but comfortable enough. Staff is always friendly. But you do have to walk a lil bit from the parking lot and a little inside to get to the place. Doesn’t ever seem to be too busy for the location in the mall. I guess I like to avoid the mall unless needing to shop.

One of the better movie theaters in the area. Seats are fairly comfortable, screens are midden and curved… a touch in the smaller side unless you’re in an imax showing. Theater is starting to show its age a bit and it was a bit warm. But still a ton better than the UA or the six flags mall theater.

Caught an afternoon matinée with the family (1:50pm show) and for the 4 of us it cost us $ 40, not including the normal overpriced popcorn and soft drinks. The seats were comfortable, but the theater was a tad on the warm side. The previews were in surround sound, but when the movie played, the sound was from the back of the screen. We saw Spy, and with all the laughter in the theater, surround sound would have been better.
I do like that they have a bar and you can take a beer into the theater.
Stay hungry my friends…

I typically prefer SMG or Cinemark because they have comfy leather seating but chose AMC due to a recent Fandango deal which made the movie free. Another downside with AMC is no reserved seating unlike SMG and Cinemark.
Presenting the QR code to the ticket booth was simple and we were given our stubs in seconds. Talk about efficiency!
Typical AMC cloth seats that get uncomfortable if the movie is over 90 minutes long.
I do like how the armrest moves up so if you’re at a matinée showing and there’s no one next to you, you can totally lie down for less stress on your lower back
Washrooms are kept clean, at least when I go in before noon.

This theater elevates there prices because of there location. We had to sit through 45min of trailers to see a less than two hour movie. When I asked management about the takers she rudely blamed it on the movie company, which doesn’t determine the trailers at all. In fact the sweet customer service lady that stood beside the manners that she called up had all already apologized just looked at the manager crazy as the manager proceeded to deny and lie.

Eh… I went to see Interstellar in IMAX on a weekday morning and found little to get enthused about.
I went in knowing that this theatre was what is known to film geeks as «LieMAX» — when a movie theater takes its largest auditorium, upgrades the screen, projector, and sound system, and then slaps the IMAX name on it. This differs from a «real» IMAX theatre, which is a purpose-​built IMAX auditorium that has a much larger screen than the retrofitted «LieMAX» auditoriums such as the one at this location. That being said, it wasn’t totally bad. The screen size was okay, and the digital projection was fine, but the sound system was very impressive. It was tremendously powerful and loud, yet clear even when pushed to the max. This was fantastic and really added to the experience.
What didn’t impress me was the beginning of my experience. When I walked into the auditorium (about 15 minutes before showtime), it was almost completely dark. The only lights on were the strip lights on the steps, and there was nothing showing on the screen. It was nearly pitch black; I had to use my phone’s flashlight function just to see where I was going! I sat in the dark waiting for the movie to start… and waited… and waited some more. Showtime comes and goes, no movie. Still waiting in the dark. Then, about 10 minutes after the scheduled showtime, the house lights were abruptly turned on for about one minute, then turned off, and THEN they started the trailers. Bizarre. I’ve been to some pretty crappy theatres, but none that had difficulty starting the movie on time.
I think being able to control the lights and staring the movie on time are pretty basic functions of a movie theatre, so for that I give this place two stars.

Not a bad place… but seats could be better… and food selection could be more abundant… but at the price point it’s great.

Good theater lots to look at if waiting for a movie: the rink, or stores. Big roomy chairs still clean armrests that can move out of the way an cup holders! Not very busy weeknights or early. They do have a bar lil pricy but not too bad! Get the STUBS REWARDS and your good.

I love this theatre. You would think since it’s attached to the mall that its constantly busy. But we went to a daytime showing of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes for my birthday just to go to during the day. It was nice not packed, there was still some people in there, but plenty of good seats. I love how they installed the new Fountain Drink machine where you can choose lots of more flavors of drinks, it’s the
. I love Cherry Coke, and from the Coke choices you can choose, Vanilla, Raspberry, Cherry and then some. TRY it. I dare you. Get some. ha ha
Just like all Movie Theatres, they are pricy at the Concession counter. But that’s what you pay for the experience.
I like the area that the Theatre is in, out of the way of all the hustle and bustle from the mall and the people. But still close to the Food Court too.

The theater is nice. has a bar inside full stock. The price is rather high especially for the IMAX. It was $ 16 each. the place was clean so a plus. It is inside the mall so it is crowded and parking sucks.

I love this movie theater, always clean, courtesy staff,. My husband brought me here today to see the movie Neighbors, so funny a must see. Oh yeah we always sit in the handicap seats, they are the best seats in the movie theater, of course we would move it some one needed them.

This theater is alright. I do have a gripe about it though. They can’t seem to keep the freaking lights off in theater 10. What on earth was going on there. I watched the Hobbit yesterday and it’s almost a 3 hour movie– the lights came on during the movie 3 times. It was very distracting and kinda killed the mood of the movie. I hope that was just a fluke.
I do watch movies here fairly often because I’m not a huge fan of Studio Movie Grill but I do wish their seats were more comfortable. Their matinée pricing makes it fairly affordable– be sure to check their the AMC website for pricing.
*Heads up* This is a mall theater so there will be a bunch of teenagers in here. Depending on the movie it can get really loud and obnoxious but I suppose it can be part of the movie experience –_–
