AMC Destin Commons 14

Good selection of movies. Clean theatre. Kevin is a good manager. Good projection.

kind of disappointed in their customer service. went here a few weeks ago and had a good experience. I went to see diary of a teenage girl at 9:50pm. my friend and I arrived around 9:00pm and got our tickets. I really enjoyed their chicken strips last time, so I was going to order them again. wrong! they had already closed down all the «hot food» stuff because they had to clean them. really? an hour before the concession stand closes? my friend and I were both pretty hungry, so explored other options. they had one hot dog left — looked like they sucked all the life right out of that hot dog. most hot dogs I’ve eaten are a reddish color, this one was a pale brown color; it looked disgusting. I ended up ordering nachos — the cashier dug a nacho tray out of a big plastic bin full of their leftover supplies (nachos, icee cups, etc). I wasn’t impressed at all, I was rather annoyed that I couldn’t get my delicious chicken strips lol. we sat down at the empty theater and watched a screen that was staticky (looked like something off a 1980 TV set). we asked one of the workers if it was going to do that the whole movie. he said about 5 minutes into the previews it shouldn’t because it switches projectors. he was right. we ended up walking out about 10 minutes into the movie because the movie was just plain weird. I will be back for more chicken strips ;)

I don’t really have anything negative to say about this movie theater. The inside of the theater is always clean, the bathrooms are relatively clean, and the ticket prices are reasonable (I pay $ 5-​ish to see an early morning Sunday matinée, as opposed to when I lived in California matinée prices were close to $ 10 a ticket). It’s surrounded by outdoor shops and different places to eat like Johnny Rockets, Chipotle, Which Wich, Zoe’s, World of Beer, and the list goes on and on.
There is an early morning church service at the theater on Sundays and several members may ask you to join them. I always respectfully decline and have never felt pressured to be part of their group. Sunday mornings are the best because even during opening movie weekends, aside from the church goers, the crowd is relatively small. So seating is always open and never busy. All in all, it’s a good place to catch a flick and get away from the hot and humid Florida weather!

Nice enough theatre with all the typical options. Not too crowded either on a Sunday afternoon. Would be a 5
Star rating except that they made us throw away the water my 2 year old was drinking when we entered the lobby. It is 95 degrees outside today and a 2 year old gets hot and thirsty and a bottle of water seems like a reasonable item to allow a child to have on a hot day. Seemed almost in humane. Very unlikely we will return to this theatre unless they can explain this policy in a logical way.

This is a nice theater in the middle of an outdoor mall. It had a decent choice of movies, and a good array of times available, even for the regular movies (not 3D, 4D, or IMAX). One of the ticket kiosks were down, but they still had two more working.
We saw a movie that had been sold out for three other showings and was still packed. Even with a packed theater, it did not feel cramped. The seats are regular sized, but the leg room was great! People passed in front of our 6 foot group members and we didn’t have to move or get up to make room for them. The sound quality was very good, and they didn’t play as many of those crappy commercials that other theaters are playing before the movie.
The concession stand is the standard overpriced place you are used to. The service was good though, and the cashier even recommended items that he thought tasted better.

Excellent movie theater located in Destin Commons. Clean, safe and with up-​to-​date showings — whenever I’m in the area and want to see a movie, this is the theater of choice.

This was a terrific theater when run as a Rave. Now the theater is a tacky display of every cut out movie promo imaginable, understaffed concession stand, always messy, and generally unpleasant. This strikes me as odd as its only true competition in the immediate area is the Carmike in SanDestin.
This theater experience is consistently disappointing (in no way up to par with the classy shopping center). I’ve been a regular customer since the theater was built and this is the worst I’ve ever seen it.
I invite AMC to get it together and run an establishment suited to the local clientele.

Pretty large theatre. It has a bar inside. It has booths to get tickets and a line for tickets outside.

AMC is on their way to have the best theaters! This one has three separate concession stands so you don’t have to walk all the way out to the lobby if you need a refill during the movie (which I thought was pretty cool), but they only had the one in the lobby open. Plus, they have a bar inside & allow you to take your beer in the movie.
The only reason I gave this place 4 stars instead of five was the wait in line for the tickets. They had enough spots where 5 or 6 people could be taking money but they only had one person working. We ordered our tickets in advance on Fandango, so we wouldn’t miss any of the movie & ended up missing the first 5 – 10 minutes due to the long line.

We only came extra distance here to play the game room before the movie. Now it’s replaced with an overpriced alcohol bar.
We’ll be going to Boulevard 10 in the future since it’s closer and nicer.

If you use the self-​service kiosks, make sure you’ve waited for all of the items it spits out. Bought 2 tickets and it spit out three pieces of paper. Got to the entrance and that still wasn’t all of it. Had to run back to the kiosk and the other ticket was in the dispenser. My fault. Should’ve paid more attention. BUT. AMC needs to screen their entrance employees (ticket takers) a bit more. We got some serious attitude and rudeness.

I used to go there all the time when it was Rave. Just saw x men there today and the the air conditioner went dead during the movie. I sat through over an hour in a sauna. When I complained to management they said several people had already complained and said sorry; that was it. This is Florida. If you don’t have air conditioning you should fix it or close down. I won’t be going back.

I watch movies regularly and in this area this theatre tops all the rest. I will gladly make the further drive from where I live to get to a nice theatre. This place is surrounded by shops and restaurants to keep you busy if you have a later show. Add in the fact they are expanding A LOT this summer to the shopping area, makes this theatre that much better
As for the actual theatre, seats are comfortable and clean, never had issues with their showings either. Cops are always there if you fear something happening. Nice little arcade and their concession prices are what you would expect. They do offer free popcorn seasoning so that is pretty cool as well. All in all, definitely the best place to watch movie in the Destin/​Ft Walton area.

went to see LOTR-​Smauge in IMAX. very disappointed. $ 15/​ticket. definitely not worth it. the 3D glasses were used! there is no way this theater is IMAX. not even close! high snack prices. $ 5 bottled water.
I won’t make that mistake again.

Great place to catch a movies. The lines were a little long so plan ahead as there is not much of a plan as the theater gets overflowing.
Very clean when we finally got inside. Good theater but I think I will try another just to see what they are like.

Best seats ever at a theater. The shopping area around the theater is wonderful. The theaters are clean and the popcorn as expensive as ever. LOL
Great place to watch movies in Destin.

I really like what AMC has done with the place. They have a great staff, a lot of showtimes, and having an IMAX theater is great, even if you aren’t a big fan of wearing the 3-​D glasses.
If you have your credit card with you and think you have the 21^st Century wherewithal to navigate their ticket kiosk, you can buy your tickets that way and save yourself the time in the queue, unless you’re British, in which case you probably enjoy that more than the actual movie. Wanker.

I love watching movies on the big screen, and this theater is a nice place to see them. Everything runs smooth from buying tickets either at the window or the self serve kiosk, to buying snacks, to finding a good seat. Bonus, AMC offers 3D and IMAX… love! The midnight showings are a lot of fun too…
The place is well kept and the bathrooms are clean. There is a small gaming area up front for the kiddies, and you can’t beat the Destin Commons location.
Just be prepared to pay a premium for everything and 15 – 20 minutes of previews before your movie begins.
*TIP* If the movie you’re going to see is brand new or it’s raining outside get here early.
