AMC Studio 30

I love to be here every Saturday night, cool place to watches movies and relax with your beloved one
God bless America

They had The Big Short on the schedule for 2 showings and canceled both. What the hell?

I came here to watch Ip Man 3 with my boyfriend. Waited 6 years! This is the only place that plays foreign and bollywood movies that I know. There are 30 theaters including IMAX. Bathroom are pretty decent. Lots of stalls & no line. Theater seats are made out of cloth and it’s old. I’m sure it was dirty too. I wasn’t going to think about it too much since I had to sit on it for 2 hours. The floor wasn’t sticky but the floor paint was peeling. Tonight the movie theater was packed! The a/​c wasn’t on during the movie. It was super hot. I was roasting in there.

This theater has so much potential.
The theater has a modern design and have beverages for the kiddos, including a Coke mixer station, as well as adults for beverages. The theater pricing is with the normal range of all the AMC franchises. If you want bang for your buck, and you know you will go to an AMC studio often, get in the AMC stubs program. For $ 12 a year, you can keep track of what movies you have seen, as well as progressively earn rewards for tickets and concessions purchases. You start off by getting free popcorn, and ear all the way to a free movie ticket.
My issues with the theater is not room seating… it the sound. I saw a movie, and the volume wasn’t up high enough. When people laughed, I missed at least 3 seconds of dialogue. The sound issue irritated my soul.
All in all, this is just a normal and modernized AMC. That sound issue though…

Diverse movies we can select! Better environment than other AMC:)

Missed half the movie while waiting for two hot dogs.
Will never be back here.
The line was not huge for the order to take so long. Ridiculous queuing system.

Worst amc that we have been to. So dirty so lame. Seems no one clean up the theatre in between the movies. We could not even find a clean seat. The line was super long. The food court is a mess. I would never come here again. You get what you pay for. This is cheaper than other cinemas but definitely not a good experience. The one star is for the price and that is all.

Okay, so here’s my little soap box… I have stopped going to the theater for the third time and I’m really done with this location now.
The first time I had an issue with this theater I went out the wrong door and was chased by dogs only for the security who came to see what was going on to laugh. I ended up calling 9−1−1 to get to my car.
2^nd Chance: I pulled up to the theater to watch a movie and as I locked the door to my car and started walking toward the ticket booth, I noticed a small group of rowdy kids (teenagers) yelling, laughing and cursing about something with some one’s car and how they’re just going to do something everybody’s car in the lot. I told the manager on duty (after moving my car) and he seemed tho react as if I told him a drink spilled on the floor.
And now for the Coup de Gras! a friend and I went to this theater to see Maze Runner 2 a few months ago. When we sat down we skipped seats so I turn to my left to talk to him during the movie (sorry, I know that was rude) and I noticed something crawling on the seat. I was grossed out thinking that it was a little roach but after investigation with the light on my phone it turned out to be a BEDBUG! I know what it was because of my work and the television show «Infested». Needless to say and I got the hell out of there and haven’t been back since. I have no indications that the manager I spoke with will be doing anything about the conditions of that movie theater. A theatre that I once loved and defended so much because of the location, food selection and larger/​longer selection of movies.

Family movie time but just found out how dirty this place is with the lights on.
Cup holders full of wrappers. Chairs full of crumbs. Old bubble gums on the seats. Had to move around the studio before finding an acceptable spot.
Hopefully they’re not always this dirty on regular basis.
See the pictures posted with this review.

This place is a hassle to get to if you live or work on the southeast side of town. I came here last week for a free movie screening of Sisters (hilarious BTW). I honestly didn’t think I was going to make it since I got stuck in rush hour traffic. The movie theater was alright. The seats could have been a little more comfortable. The sound was okay; at one point I could hear this weird noise coming from the left speaker. Luckily it didn’t last too long. It was really distracting though.
The full bar is nice. They give you a plastic cup so you can bring your drink into the movie theater. And you best believe I brought that cup home with me as a souvenir. A large draft beer is $ 10. The concession stand reminds me of a small cafeteria. They have a line to order food and they have a grab and go section. There was one employee working the area where you order food. We didn’t have time to wait in the line so we grabbed nachos in the grab and go area. It was good enough. They also had popcorn, hot dogs, etc.
Even though I went to a free movie screening, I just can’t see myself coming out this far for a movie. I don’t have the patience to deal with the traffic.

The lines at Zoo Lights were ridiculously long so my companion and I decided to leave the Houston Zoo and have a chill night at the movies.
I looked up showtimes using Apple’s ‘Trailers’ app and also Fandango’s app. We saw a showtime for the Christmas comedy ‘Love the Coopers @9:30pm. We get to the box office and the movie is not even playing at this location. What gives! I double-​checked the apps just to make sure I wasn’t crazy and yep! Movie apps don’t match what’s playing at the theater. I didn’t trip too much about it. My companion really wanted to see the new and final installment of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Pt. 2, so we settled for that.
The lines for the box office were unusually long, especially for a Tuesday. To the left of the box office they had self-​serve booths to buy tickets, there are 4 of them. All of them were out of service except for one. Super annoying. What’s the point of having a convenient self-​serve ticket booth if they aren’t going to be actually functioning. There was an employee outside trying to fix the 3 that were broken but he. FAILED.
Picked up some movie theater goodies at the concession stand. Boxed Candy and an Icee. What I really wanted though was some mozzarella sticks they had advertised but there was no employee found at the ‘gourmet’ food area.
The entire floor was filthy, popcorn spilled all over the place, I mean, there was popcorn spilled all over the cashier counter and slowpoke homegirl didn’t take a minute to clean up just a bit. Like fo’real, there was so much popcorn all over the place my companion offered to put some in his pocket and save it for later. LMAO. Yeah, no. Gross.
The movie theater seating was decent, I’ve had worse. I did enjoy the arm rest on the seats, thick and soft enough to place my phone on and not have it fall. Yas!
Would I come her again? I’m sure at some point. I’ve been here a few times its just never been this bad.
If you’re on a date tho, stay away! Go to Edwards or Palladium for something much nicer.

Horrible. The seats are reserved but not the recliner type. The concessions are ridiculous. You get in a line to order a hotdog, then a line to grab popcorn, then a line to pay, then a line for your drink.
Doesn’t work! Too many people just standing around. No salt where it should be.
The WORSE concessions I’ve ever been too. Seats are not comfortable. Not Cool. Next time going to another theater in Houston.

Not sure if it’s because of nostalgia or what, but I prefer coming here since I have been coming here for years. Also I like that they show foreign films (including bollywood films) here. However, as others have mentioned the area is kind of sketch at night, so definitely avoid coming here at night.
However, despite my bias for this place, I must admit that my latest experience, although not the managements fault, was less than ideal. There was this lady who may or may not have been drunk or high or something as indicated by her laughing hysterically at non-​funny parts (movie was Straight Outta Compton) and struggling to walk when she decided to continuously leave and return. Also, there were literally only like 5 or 6 people in the entire theater, and she chose a seat in the row directly above the one I was sitting in, AND PUT HER BARE FEET ON THE TOP OF MY SEAT. This is before the movie started, so lights were still on. Luckily my friend’s stares made her realize her mistake, and she moved down one seat and also put her bare feet on that seat.
Anyways, I would probably come again, but not because of how great the theater is, but just out of habit. So my nonbiased rating is 2 stars (as opposed to 3) because on top of high prices, being kind of sketchy at night, and having weird people, the place is old and it seems like it’s not well maintained. Also they recently built a restaurant type set up inside and I wish they would have spent half that money updating their actual theaters instead. I’ll probably keep coming here until the day it closes.

This theater needs some TLC. The concession stand area has been modernized, but the seats in the theater are disgusting. We gave up trying to find chair without black tar-​looking stains. We saw a woman in the theater with us bring a blanket that she laid down on the chair. Good thinking for a theater that doesn’t have any clean seats!

One of the more disgusting theaters in the Houston area. Seats are old and stained. Concession lines take forever. This theater is badly in need of renovations. In its current state, it’s giving AMC a really bad name.
It’s also not in the best area. Keep all valuables out of sight in your vehicle.

Watching a movie is watching a movie but every theater is not the same. I purposely waited to see «Straight Out of Compton» so that I could enjoy it is peace. I picked a less popular theater to see if my movie going experience compared to more popular establishments. There was NO COMPARISON.
I hadn’t been to this theater in years. Boy, has it changed. The place just needs to be CLEANED! The first sign that things had changed was the ticket window. ALL of the station windows were dirty. Next, the grounds walking to the entrance were littered with trash. Finally, the actual theater itself had popcorn all over the floor. Although I saw plenty of employees milling around, none thought it wise to use a broom and sweep. I could understand if it was an evening show with a big crowd. But, I went at 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon.
Fortunately, the movie was EXCELLENT! That’s the only reason this place gets two stars from me.
I will not return.

I would rather not go to this theater again. Very dirty everywhere especially the Lobby where the food and drinks were sold/​served… Plus side of this theater plenty open seating and they make sure you get your money’s worth on your servings.

The free screening that I attended last night of Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation was the first time I had been to this AMC. I looks like this is one of the first stadium seating movie theaters and that it was once the place to go. Unfortunately the area is somewhat shady now and there was a faint unpleasant odor in the air.
The concessions were appalling! I stood in a line of 5 people for 10+ minutes waiting for the worlds slowest employee to take individual popcorn orders only to get a bag of popcorn flavored icicles when it was my turn. After I got my icicles, I went to stand in yet another line. This one about 14 people ahead of me. another 10+ minutes later I finally was able to pay one of the 2 cashiers working for my icicle and drink.
It get’s 2 stars because the «Meh. I’ve experienced better.» phrase categorized this theater perfectly.
Positive perk! I think they show Bollywood movies here! Not my culture but I’d be lying if I said I don’t like an occasional Bollywood film. I hope that’s what it is.

Sold us tickets for the wrong time for Jurassic World.
I had to get up to get them to turn the lights off.
The 3D glasses didn’t work bc they sold us tickets to the 3D showing so we had to get 3D IMAX glasses for the earlier showing.
It was really hot waiting in line for tickets with only one teller and broken outdoor sales kiosks.
This was on a Monday afternoon so hopefully it’s run better during peak times. The actual theatre was good once we actually got going after numerous trips to the help desk.

This is the theater I go to when Edwards, Sundance, or any other is no longer playing the movie I’d like to see when I’d like to see it. It does a great job of offering multiple time slots and screens for a variety of genres. That’s what I go to this cinema for.
I don’t care to drink alcohol before seeing a movie, but they do have more food/​snack options than other theaters if that’s what you’re into.
Oh, and some theaters smell like pee (at least I hope it’s pee…).
