AMC Ford City 14

This rating may seem a bit low (I’m being really stingy today!), but let me be clear: the new Ford City is a VAST improvement over the old one. Bigger screens, more comfortable seats, more food options, reservations, and much cleaner and slicker than the old place. That said, it’s still got a few problems; the staff isn’t especially attentive, and they tend to program the same dull mainstream fare as they always did, which is probably understandable as they’re the only multiplex of its size for miles on the South Side, but is still a reason why I rarely go there. Still, it’s at least raised its game to be the equal of most other big-​box theaters, and that’s good.

omgoodness i was truly amazed st what i saw on jan 27, 2016,. i hadn’t been to ford city amc since march of 2014, to watch the movie noah and the theater wasn’t remodeled then– it was outdated & nasty!!! thanks to the new developers who made the change in a theater needed for decent people &families to enjoy without having to travel outside our locality!!! it is honestly a honor and much respect to your insight of making it better. i hope & pray people will respect and appreciate what your company is trying to bring to an area that was becoming «dreaded»!!! people be thankful and help keep this theater a ‘wanna go to place”, do your part to make it happen please! be thankful people because there was a time when certain people could not go past western avenue. appreciate the change don’t destroy it!!!

Don’t waste your time and money, what a ghetto dump. We have recently moved to the area and are dismayed this is one of our movie options. Waited in a short line to buy tickets, became total chaos. Where is the manager, who cannot even figure out how to have an organized line? Finally got the tickets ordered and seats picked out, then the computer wouldn’t work so they send us to a different line. By the time the order comes up the seats are gone and only front row on side seats are left. My husband said «let’s get out of here» and my son was disappointed but I think we were saved from a miserable experience. I can’t imagine how bad the theatre experience would be if they can’t even sell a ticket.

Only 3 stars overall? What the hell? 1 person said it was hot in the ticket line get ac. Ok well no line and not hot today. Another person stated it was busy on Saturday and there were lots of kids running around… hello? It’s a theater of course it’s busy and people take their kids. Someone said it was dirty by the beverages and condiments when they were there and that they should clean it up. Well it was clean when we were here, but I’ve noticed people are pigs and they would need an attendant just to clean continually since people are too lazy to throw away extra lids and be careful not to dump popcorn everywhere while buttering. The seats recline! It’s like being in your living room! And my cherry ginger ale is friggin delicious! I’m happy and we’re still working on the previews. There is a BAR in the lobby! This theater deserves 5 stars to bring up the overall rating.

I love this place but I give it only 2 stars because it is TOO HOT waiting in line to buy tickets. What is that about? That kind of oppressive heat would cause me to leave and go somewhere else. GET AIR CONDITIONING IN THE TICKET LINE PLEASE!!!

Decided to try this theater out. after years of not going to this place because of past experiences. Everything seemed to be different, new seats new look but underneath was another story. Went to see minions at 6:15pm we got there at 6:00pm which should be enough time to get tickets and snacks. First the tickets took forever because the ticket taker was either new or just not familiar with the system. Once we got the tickets I decided to get snacks and only finding 2 open stations with a billion people running around behind made no sense. It looked more like a hang out for the workers. once I was able to finally order the snacks I noticed that the popcorn didnt have that fresh popcorn smell but I though its ok doesnt always mean anything. Got to the butter station and no butter on one, and the other it came out slow and almost chunky so i decided to not put more. during the movie while eating the popcorn i started to feel weird and not because of the movie mostly because the popcorn. Next day I am throwing up popcorn. so 2 stars because the service was awful and it seems that the food is not right.

When they renovated this theater about a year ago it turned out divine with those beautiful red leather recliners and state of the art pop machines but of course it all turned to shit with the people who make it unbearable. Extremely ghetto and classless to say the least, just bc you’re poor doesn’t mean you should act like an animal. Anyways don’t recommend this movie theater at all unless you’re catching the matinée show

Came for the 9:15 PM of Avengers but they cancelled that show time. However, customer service was cool and hooked me up with free popcorn and drink for my next visit.

My friend warned me about this movie theater since I was not from the area. While waiting to purchase my ticket this guy started to fight and yell with the women he was with which was already alarming to me. Then we went inside the movie theater and I have to say this was the most dirty movies I have ever been too! The whole place was covered with popcorn on the floors and the condiment area was nasty! I didn’t see anyone cleaning up while waiting about 30 min before entering the movie. The best thing I can say about this place is they have these reclining seats! I haven’t seen them in any other theater I have been before and they recline all the way back almost like its a bed. Not the best place but I guess it will have to do if your from the area.

I love the new Ford City movie theater! There is a bar next to the concession stand, the whole theater is renovated, there are red leather recliners that reclined almost all the way back… So comfy! You pick your seat when you purchase your ticket at the front. Pretty cool! Love love love!

While I can appreciate the effort in making this a nicer movie theatre by changing to reclining seats and self serve soda machines and remodeled bathrooms I also have to point the attention to how important it is to keep the place clean. It’s not nice to see that smashed popcorn looks like part of the carpet design and the condiment station is kept in such a disgusting state. It almost looked like all the janitor personnel had quit at the same time and no one was available to clean. Shame on you guys, try and fix this problem or not even the new reclining seat will bring more people.

Very busy on Saturday during the day. I could hear kids yelling the whole time I was watching the movie. The bathroom was disgusting, pee on the floor in one of the stalls. Wasn’t happy with this visit.
With hubby, saw Gravity. Very good movie

New seating – fantastic! But, if you are opening a bar… train your staff accordingly. I ordered an apple martini (off the drinks menu), and the bartender had to go look up the recipe. The customer next to me was equally frustrated and all she ordered was a cranberry & vodka. I understand this is a movie theatre; but, if you open a bar… take the time to properly train your staff to make the basics… or at least what is ON THE DRINKS MENU. You owe that to your customer when charging top shelf prices.

5 stars is extreme, but with such low reviews the past years, it’s important to get this theater’s reviews high again.
The renovations allow you to sit in leather seats that recline all the way back, while still being able to have tons of room to walk through the row.
If anything, come here for the seats… stay for the movie.
