AMC Showplace Bloomington 11

This is the worst theater I have ever been into. Except from the projection quality which is pretty good, everything else looked like they have been there for at least 30 years. The seats look so dirty and old that we didn’t really want to sit on them. The floor in the theater was not cleaned between movies and have spills, food, and garbage everywhere — not to mention that the room smells bad. The legroom for each seat is barely larger than flying economy — and if they had a packed house I might have understood that they want to squeeze in more seats and make them tiny but it’s not the case. And the worst part — the cups don’t even sit in the cup holders, they tilt in the awkward fit. Again, I have never been into a theater as bad as this, and I certainly do not expect an AMC franchise to be in this condition. Overall I would say the service worth 4 stars, the audio and video quality scores 3 stars, everything else score something below zero — totally unacceptable.

My husband and I just moved to Bloomington. We are so shocked for a college town that the theaters are so outdated! We were spoiled we use to live across the street from an IMAX. This theater had old school seats. No head rests. The chairs looked so old. Overall it was ok. The refreshments were ok. The customer service was excellent. Overall a decent experience. I am only giving two stars and that was for the friendliness of the workers. Bloomington needs and IMAX!

The service here was so so, but I always go to his theater for movies!
Have some latest movies imported from China only in this theater, and the drinks here are good LOL

We paid extra to see Rosewater with a John Stewart/​Stephan Colbert simulcast interview afterwards. Besides the theater being a bit rundown and expensive for what you get, they don’t seem to be able to provide what they advertise. After the movie played, the audience sat and sat and sat until someone asked management what was happening with the simulcast. Management claimed to know nothing about it and said that they were only informed of the interview segment 10 minutes before they finally showed it. We only got to see 10 minutes of the interview portion and for that we paid way, way too much. Management was only willing to provide a free movie pass. That’s fine but, since I don’t go to movies very often, getting a part of my money back would have been preferable. We had been looking forward to this and were greatly disappointed.

Decent place to see a movie. At least you can’t hear the train going by during the movie like at the AMC across town :)
Tickets are expensive, popcorn, drinks, candy, all expensive. Wish it wasn’t.
Typical American movie theater.

It’s easy to get to and convenient. (Way easier to find than the AMC 12 on the other side of town). I’ve never had a bad experience here, but I mostly go to the movies during weekdays when it is $ 5 and when the students are in classes.
Don’t let the other comments dissuade you. It smells way better than other theaters I’ve been to and it’s clean. I think they’re just upset because it’s not stadium seated. Or something.

They carded my 25-​year-​old girlfriend to get into an R-​rated movie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone get carded to get into an R-​rated movie.
The seats are pretty uncomfortable and tickets were $ 10 on the weekend. If you’re into the «vintage» thing, this may be the theater for you. Otherwise, I’d go somewhere else.

We bought our tickets then had to leave. I have a circulatory problem that means I can’t touch the arm rests or I lose feeling in my feet – and this place was FAR from disability friendly. The old-​school seats with the permanent arm rests – and permanent stains and stickiness – were not worth the distraction from the smaller screen and awkward neck cramping angle. All of the carpet is soiled, from entrance to seat, and the line for popcorn was more than a dozen deep, with no sign of another register opening. Frankly, I was relieved we left. A full refund and a trip to the other AMC in town was the right choice for us. I would only go here if I had really obnoxious, food throwing children to bring with me – since they can’t do anything to those carpets that hasn’t been done before for their entire lifetime.

Worse than ever and in dire need of renovation. Sound is terrible. Saw Moonrise Kingdom yesterday and could barely hear the dialogue. I wish AMC would put the quality films in the quality theater on the West Side instead.

Wow. 1988 called and wants its cinema back. It’s just as ugly inside as it is outside. Fortunately, they do play movies from this year so that’s a plus. I’d check out the newer cinema on the west side of town, unless you’re feeling like a little cinema «Hot Tub Time Machine» action.
I do appreciate the $ 7.50 ticket price, but I’m guessing that’s a southern Indiana thing…

What a dive. I understand that not all cinemas can be state of the art, but if you aren’t going to modernize a theater, the prices should be lowered.
It is also incredibly frustrating that they are showing 20 minutes of commercials before a feature (not previews of new movies. actual commercials. I Love your Bod).
When oh when will the age of straight to DVD movies come? I don’t want to go to cinemas like this anymore! Save me!
