Decent looking, clean, the seats are very comfy and have nice cushions that recline.Food however is HORRIBLE. Nuggets? Taste like the frozen stuff you get at discount when its going bad and very few, pizza is just not good, like cardboard. I could go on but its not necessary. Improve the food you serve at such high prices, people rather eat other places and AMC will just end up losing money unnecessarily.
Our journey to the post-Covid(ish) AMC on 34th street was made more interesting by the decay of expectations that affected the area around Penn Station.Once there, though, the theater was clean and ready to rock. The service was helpful. Their condiments aren’t fully loaded (limited food selection beyond popcorn and no hot dogs ready to be made), but the popcorn, soda, and candy are fit to be enjoyed in the comfy chairs.Our matinee was cheerful and entertaining, and the experience was what we needed: big loud funny images and sounds in the dark, with salt and sugar.The theater should work with local businesses, civic groups, and the city to find a humane and urgent plan to bring 34th back, so the movie and shopping and people watching trails can be tred again with a kid for a matinee.
One of my 3 go to amc theaters. Got a huge face lift during covid, and is better than ever. Every single theater has heated recliners. They have a bar now too. Always clean. Really enjoy coming here now. If its not imax at Lincoln, or Dolby at empire 25, Im watching here.
This theater became my go-to trusty dusty of all the AMCs in NYC. Three levels w/ lots of viewings. Heated leather seating throughout (except in Imax and Dolby I believe), and self-serve ticket kiosks.Is conveniently located in heart of Herald Square with easy access to several subway lines - A, C, 2, 3, N, R, others + buses.Frequented regularly. Staff was always friendly.
Decent multiplex with very friendly staff. The box office is on the ground floor as you enter and the screens span multiple floors above. Its very dated compared to all the other theaters that have undergone renovation with recliners but the screens and sound systems are fairly up-to-date. They offer seat reservations like other theaters and the snack selection is above average.
9.25.17 - saw IT on a Monday night and it was barely populated. Overall its a well kept the as yet with nice and responsive staff.The seats are a little old and beat up so for long movies it might get a little uncomfortable.The theater is right off the A,C,E train at Penn Station, so its very accessible. Overall, not a bad experience.
I love this movie theater. They are very organized. They are very clean. They are fast and patient. This theater is huge. 4 floors. They have bathrooms in the 3rd floor. The bathrooms where clean. I bought nachos and a big soda. They are expensive with the food so have a good amount of money. They have chipotle and five guys right next to the movie theaters. The a train is right in the corner.
Couldnt be more excited to watch a movie Ive been wanting to watch for so long, Free Guy. The cinemas were closed in my country, so when I visited the states I made sure to go to the cinema. Such a spacious building. I can imagine if it wasnt for covid the whole place would be packed! Loved the reclining and heated seats.
Awesome theater experience. The bartender was super friendly and sweet, and our popcorn was fresh and hot. I do wish that the theater was a bit cleaner. There was still popcorn on some of the seats from the movie that had let out before ours. I do get that the theater staff have a limited amount of time to clean up between movies, so its not such a big deal. Watching Spider-Man: No Way Home in Dolby was phenomenal. I highly recommend it if its an option. Worth every penny.
This is my go to movie theater in 34th Street. Its not as expensive as others around the area besides the popcorns and drinks. They also have good selection of the latest movies with various times available. Furthermore, there are so many floors available which is a good thing since the place tends to get crowded around evening time. Overall, Id really recommend this theater!
We visited this movie theatre in the afternoon to watch Nightschool. There were not many visitors, we were only with 5 people in the theatre. They have a pretty wide selection of movies here, which is very good, and already start early in the day.Employees are polite and friendly. There are 3 floors in this location, although our movie was shown on the first floor, we had to go to second floor for bathrooms( as they are not on every floor), which was a bit strange.
My favorite movie theater the most comfortable chairs in the house are in the digital ,and Dolby auditorium cushy comfort and recliner seats, option to warm the seat by pressing a button on the inside of the chair arm , great sound ,great picture wide screen, become a stubs member and you get great deals on tickets and concession food!
AMC has a consistency that you have to admire. As an AMC A List member, I take advantage of the perks quite a bit and frequent several different theaters in Houston, San Antonio, and NYC.The Times Square location offers a respite from the bombardment of ads and pictures by bombarding you with one projection, although one of your choice.The theaters are staggered across 5/6 levels throughout the building. The setup is mad awkward at first but once you know your theater number the helpful staff will help you.The location had a plethora of theaters; this theater also has some indie and off mainstream selections you wont find at other locations.Tip: Get your popcorn and sodas as soon as you get there. If you sit down to get your seats youll spend another 10 minutes going back down to the lower level. Drink refill fountains are on all levels so that helps during the movie.Tip 2: With so many people coming in with bags, the policy is very weak so feel free to bring a backpack loaded with whatever. We always sneak in drinks. Yup, Im those people.
Been coming to this movie theater for quite a few years now. Pretty big auditoriums and huge IMAX screens! They also recently added a Dolby theater which is great as well. Food snacks and drinks are what you would expect from AMC theaters and overall very satisfied with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the performance and friendliness of the staff!!!!
Gosh! I was honestly impressed by this movie house. At first, when I buy a ticket, the staff was very friendly, nice, and professional. When I was already inside, the seats were arranged comfortably, and the screen was too large and loud. The foods that they served were hot, and the drinks were good. Overall, this movie house was a nice place to visit. See you soon!
This is a multi-level movie theater so there are lots of potential choices.Good Features1) Many concession stands2) Advance seat booking online3) Tickets through an app or email4) Theater sound quality is okOpportunities For Improvement1) The popcorn is just ok2) there are no rest rooms on some floors so you have to go up or down stairs3) The decor is dated4) The seats are recliners like many of the newly renovated theatersPro Tip: Dont buy water if you plan on getting a soda too. The self serve soda station has a water dispenser so you can get both.
Usually clean and just an all around decent theater. Now heres what you really want to know. The crowd that comes here are usually respectful and courteous to other movies goers. So no one screaming at the screen or talking loudly throughout the movie. This has been my experience.
Went to go see Space Jam: A New Legacy last night with the Teens from my church and we all left with smiles. (If you know teens, you know pleasing all 10 of them is not an easy feat.) The service was EXCELLENT! A lot of high school/college aged young people are the service staff and they were WONDERFUL. When I arrived, Angel (staff) greeted me so politely and answered all my questions. He took he time to share his recommendations on the movies that were out as well as the different theatre they would be showing in. We wanted good seats, altogether, and not in the front. He offered great advice. What a great guy.Our next stop was concessions. The staff there was great as well. Polite, patient and speedy. The prices were what you would expect them to be at a movie theatre on 34th, so we were prepared - and we got our moneys worth. Tubs of popcorn and drinks are refillable. The concessions area was clean and tidy.Great job AMC 34. Thanks for making the Youth Group outing a blast.
Other than the Lincoln Center IMAX theater, this is the best Ive been to, anywhere. The Dolby Cinema experience is great: padded leather seats with electronic controls for reclining and a footrest. Its cleaner than most theaters from what Ive noticed and the movies look, sound (and feel) awesome. Food is regular, overpriced movie theater food but this is my go-to theater for my AMC A-List subscription.
This is my go-to theater in Manhattan. They have such a large selection of movies, and they have remodeled the seating where a table attachment similar to a school desk on an arm will hold your food. So that for the first time today, and I was a bit impressed by it. I just wish you could order food and they would bring it to you in the theater like they do in that theater up in Yonkers. However, this is a clean theater, the staff is friendly and the escalators are always in service which is important because they are pretty long escalators. I thought I saw a sign that said bar ahead in the food area, but I dont know if there is an actual bar in the theater. I say this because on the AMC app in the food ordering the drop-down menu tells you what states they have this in and there was an ad for a McGuffins bar, but that was in the Midwest I believe. Now that would be cool! But I digress, accident theater and I highly recommend it in the heart of midtown next to Penn station, Madison square garden, and all midtown New York has to offer.
I can’t be more grateful to AMC 34th street for the responsibility and care that they provided. I realized lost my ID after watching a midnight film a month ago. I went back the next day but the staff said they’ve never seen my ID. They asked for my name, number and address and then I left, not giving much hope for finding the ID. However a week later I received several call and when I finally see the call and picked up, it’s them discovered my ID!!Story haven’t ended, I was too busy these days so I did not get a chance to pick it up until 10 days later. However the staff that time told me they couldn’t find my ID in the lost and found office after many efforts. I was a bit confused but forget about it right after.Until today I finally checked my mailbox and realized the ID was mailed straight to me the day before I went to pick it up! Probably because I didn’t show up in the first few days so they decided to mail it to me.. I’m lost of words..!!I’m so grateful and suprised because it’s such a small thing but they kept my contact info all the time, keep caring about this item and made sure it’s safely handed to me eventually. I don’t know the name of the girl who helped and called me but all the staff I met there are so attentive and helpful and sweet. I’m in tears! Thank you so much AMC 34th st!!
The best movie experience ever! This cinema house is really on top when it comes to providing comfort and a better experience for moviegoers. Also, they have the best snacks available, and all of it was super tasty. I will definitely rate this place a five-star for providing me a great movie experience. WELL DONE!
This is my go to theater in midtown Manhattan. Especially after they remolded it and added new features and food apps. Plus I believe they keep this cleaner than all the rest. Also centrally located between Madison Square garden, Penn station and the west side highway. Its also staffed with friendly and helpful staff.
Felt great being able to go to the theaters again. Very clean, reserved seating, big screen and comfortable reclining chairs with heat nevertheless. Fancy! Get you popcorn and overpriced sodas. While I missed the wide screen, I dont miss the constant talking by people. Things never change.
I like this movie theater. Close to all public transportation. Clean for the most part. A slight negative would be automatic ticket sales only. What takes this up to 5 stars you ask? THIS MUTHA (U KNOW WHAT) SEATS!!!!!!!!They recline. Theres a table for your drink.Said table can be a lap table so you can enjoy whatever snacks of meal youre having.They ALSO have a full bar!!!Im sure it costs an arm, a leg and probably a liver.
Strictly critiquing the theaters itself. The chair i sat in is busted. The chair can partly bring my legs up but not bring my head down. Also, you can tell the theater havent been updated for a while. Otherwise, its still acceptable and the movie experience is very good. I would come again.
IMPRESSIVE! This cinema house is really worth the price because they have such an atmosphere that is so relaxing and the seats are very comfortable. This place is the best ever to enjoy a movie and relax together with your loved ones. I will surely recommend this to all of my friends and family! Thanks a bunch!
Man it was great being back at AMC you guys were missed! AMC STUBS A-LIST HAS AWESOME PERKS!Pros: Adjustable seats with tables to eat! Staff was very helpful, thank you. Very often when we go Juan at check in is always courteous & smiles.Cons: No refills on drinks anymore, bathroom wasn’t so clean.
I love the precautions being taken here. The seats are really comfortable. Def wasnt expecting that. It has a little tray with it. You can order your food in advance so there isnt really a long line. I fully enjoyed my time at this place. The bathroom was just a little gross. But hey, nothing new
This best movie theater in the city hands down. Its always clean its very spacious the staff is always friendly the restrooms are Always very clean its just the best I really missed this place during the pandemic but its back open now and Ive been back several time in fact Im. Going there today whoever is in charge of this theater can give other managers ideas on how to run a theater
All of the food was great. I ordered flat bread pizza, chicken tenders, curly fries, popcorn with double butter, nachos with salsa and cheese, and Strawberry/pink lemonade mixed. Everything was delicious. Movie experience IMAX was also excellent. I am giving my experience an overall great experience. I dont have anything negative to report.
Visited this AMC location to see The Matrix for the 20th anniversary in their Dolby theater. Comfortable reclining seats but the screen is much closer because its smaller than the one at 42nd Street AMC. The sound was at times loud too. And its in better shape than 42nd Street.The bathrooms on the 4th level are old but fairly clean (there is no restroom on the same floor as the Dolby theater), professional staff, concession is on the 3rd level along with a handful of arcade games.
Staff is friendly and courteous the popcorn getting on first show could be a little bit hot to warm they clean in between the showsOh there was an instant this guy had major stick up his you know where there was a person on the phone just low compared to the movie and then somebody decided to Puff Puff pass pass and the guy was like oh well I want to go get the manager friends like oh you got to get the man doing a puff past Manager came in after the movie was finished and distributed out movie tickets which was pretty nice and professional
I ran in on a hot day sweating, late for my showtime and my phone dead.Juliana stayed completely calm the whole time and helped me through it all. She was able to point me in the right direction to charge my phone and swapped my ticket for a upcoming show. Her customer service and empathy was amazing.
This is good, standard AMC theater for NYers. Been here several times. If you’re a non-NYer, you’ll be shocked at the box office pricing. If you’re a NYer, you’ve long accepted (and continued to grumble about) that you pay the highest prices in the US (and perhaps the world) for movies.
Just be mindful if you schedule to watch a movie that goes on until after 8:30 the snack bar/vendor for popcorn and soda will be closed. Employees trying to go home which is respected but why run a movie after 8:30 and then close down the snack stands. No wonder why AMC incurred the debt they did. What a dud.
OMG it was GLORIOUS to sit in a theater with a bucket of popcorn and enjoy a movie. Assigned seats were spaced out for social distancing. Masks were required except while snacking. I felt totally safe and HUMAN again! How lovely to experience this after a year of pandemic.
Amc 34th street is like a pay to play entertainment you wont get the red recliner experience in the non 3D theaters like AMC LOWES in Queens, just the old grey chairs. The facilities are clean and the screen is large, the concession stands are always out of one thing however.
For the most part it was okay. But for the location you would expect reclining seats, a staff that had a little more customer service training and not an attitude of personal indifference for no reason at all.the bathrooms were fairly clean but the theater for a matinee showing was completely filthy, doesnt make any sense.I prefer to view movies at AMC locations and my kids were happy to watch Sonic. All-in-all I guess it was ok.
This is bormally my go-to AMC theater in Manhattan because of the number of showing and movies available. Also full concessions always and the seats are usually comfy. Make sure to check the type of seats before buying your tickets. Different theaters have different style seating.
I dont play about bed bugs and would never try and write a negative review to bring down a business but bed bugs are a different topic. DO NOT GO HERE unless u want to bring these bugs home and end up having to get rid of all your furniture and have to move because of simply going to the movies.
I made a mistake and gave the 42nd Street location my 3 star rating on this location my three-star experience simply because the bathrooms and the concession stands on the upper levels was closed you had to keep going back downstairs to the lowest levels to use the bathroom or to go to the concession stand which is an inconvenience so for that Im rating this location three stars to my experience at the 42nd Street location experience is way better....
I attended a matinee show.I am giving this AMC three stars because the sound in the theater was way too loud. I had to put in the ear plugs that I carry just to make it through the film. An elderly couple next to me were making similar complaints.I also found the staff to be unavailable to help the guests. There is nobody in the main lobby to direct matinee guests. Once you finally find your way upstairs and scan your tickets, you are only greeted by employees at the concession stand.There are positives: The screens are bright and beautiful and the seats recline and vibrate to the big action sequences on-screen.This review is only my opinion, but I think some improvements would make this an amazing theater.
Nice theater.. Good seats.. Not plush recliners but comfy and they move back slightly.. They have a really good menu with pizza.. Mac and cheese.. Sliders.. Food is definitely a plus here. Bathrooms could be a bit cleaner and soda area floor was super sticky.. Overall its really good for the area.. Area can be a bit sketchy if you catch a late movie.. Workers were nice, ticket girl working on 2nd floor was really cool and had an awesome smile for everyone..
I really enjoyed visiting this theater. The staff was very friendly and respectful on both occasions. The environment and bathrooms are very clean. My grand daughter also commented on the cleanliness of the restrooms. There are many electrical outlets in the restroom, so you can charge your phone, if need be 😃 I will be revisiting 😇
The theater was clean and we had a pleasant experience. The theater we went to, and a few others, were up several tall flights of escalators. Be forewarned, some of them may not be working. The chairs were comfortable. We went on a weekend and it wasnt too crowded.The audio was at a nice level, not too loud like a couple of the theaters around the city weve been to recently.
Fantastic sound system. Dolby Prime rocks. The distance to the stage even from the back rows was too short. The theatre had no heating and I had to keep all my layers of clothing on, including my outdoor long coat. For $21 per ticket, I expected at least a warm place.
This place is groady. I wouldnt recommend it unless its super convenient time or location wise.The seats are super old and uncomfortable in the regular theaters. The concessions area are really gross, see pictures of the messy area by the drinking fountains. It makes me wonder what the kitchen/back of house areas are like - yikes!AMC has been doing minor renovations that dont impede on operations, but I hope they start to take some theaters offline to give them some needed attention. Like some of the theaters downtown have gotten some much needed TLC. Hopefully this theater does soon too!
I havent been here in a while. The location is great as its close to Penn Station with easy access to transit. Its also convenient for dining before or after viewing a movie.The lobby is super busy and sort of confusing. There should be clear lines and both that indicate where you can check in when using online tickets/apps.Theater was fine. Clean, no sticky floors, good sound, nice clear screen, and the perfect room temperature.The only thing that bugs me about this theater is the location of the bathroom. If your theater is on a different floor, than the bathroom, and you need to go during the movie, you could miss a chunk of the movie.In addition, the bathroom needs to be better maintained. Didnt order any thing from the concession stand so cannot comment on service.
Not my favorite theater. The seats are not luxury, as in they dont recline. Although they are soft and floofy so thats a plus. The sound in our particular theater was too loud though. Like calm down, Id like to keep my ear drums please. Everything else was fine, nothing unusual or noteable.
This is the theater I always go to everything runs pretty smoothly with me ordering my tickets ahead of time my only issue is when I come to pick up my food that I order aheaf of time it seems like the employees are unaware that they got an order so they dont know to expect someone to pick up food? Theres usually a line so I have to find someone elses attention so I can get my order other than that I love it there
Ive been come to this AMC theater a few times every year. It is pretty typical and is fairly big compared to other movie theaters. The facilities are pretty clean and the staff are helpful. However, in this day in age, more and more theaters, like the AMC Village 7 are replacing their standard seats with recliner seats and I feel like this theater could really benefit from it.
Parking validation is available for up to 4 hoursParking structure is availableMovie prices varyI watch pirates and tickets were $16.50Theaters were nice and clean. Very small and cozy.Yes I would recommend this place. Its surrounded by a variety of different restaurants. Perfect place for a date or hanging out with friends.The reason I gave it 4 out of 5 was because getting inside the parking structure took forever. Traffic was crazy. To get in and out.
We went to the Dolby cinema to watch Avengers - Endgame. The experience was really good! The seats were very comfortable and doesn’t matter where you seat (either the very left or right), you have the full view of the screen. The sound quality is perfect which brings the movie to life. Overall, great experience!
I love this theatre and the staff appears to be happy in their positions and this has to be because of management. Im an AMC rewards member and Im impressed how they acknowledge you. The food is pricey but quality is good. Its clean and I like the layout. Bathrooms are well kept and the seating is good. Not too crazy about the pre assigned seating but I guess it works. I love the $5 Tuesday deal. That works. Looking forward to my next visits and hopefully they will add some enhancements to the theatre experience. Kudos
BED BUG INFESTATION IN AUDITORIUM #7!!!!! PLEASE DO NOT GO THERE. I went here to see the 7:30 viewing for “don’t breathe 2”. Maybe like 30 minutes after I left, I started to feel itchy and found 2 bed bugs on me. One on my pants leg and the 2nd one on the outside of my book bag. THIS IS DISGUSTING ESPECIALLY DURING A TIME WHERE EVERYTHING SHOULD BE DISINFECTED DURING A PANDEMIC. THIS MOVIE THEATER IS LOCATED IN A HIGHLY POPULATED AREA SO TO EXPERIENCE THIS IS HIGHLY DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The theater is under renovation now and you can smell the materials in the arena but not in the movie section itself... but thats cool. Seats are comfortable with adjustments and heated through push-buttons. I do not like that the prices are so STEEP...$15 for adults. Too pricey.
Great theater, its my favorite AMC theater easily. The reason why I love it so much is near the concession stands you can buy awesome pop figures. But other than that is a beautiful theater with three floors and each floor is just as breathtaking, my only gripe is that the bathrooms are on the second floor, not on each floor. Only gripe. My favorite thing is the new Dolby Cinema. I saw Joker in that theater the prices skyrocket to 22 dollars per ticket. However the experience is incredible! I wont spoil much but just a small taste the sound is the best sound quality I have ever experienced in a theater period.
Its not the cleanest and idk if they ever going to change the chairs. Overall it was quiet, dark and nothing ever went wrong when I watched the movies there. Good staffs never gave me issues, when its cold they dont care if youre just there in the lobby and dont harass you. Standard ticket prices and food. Gladly the bathrooms are kept clean too at least that I exp. The theater itself can be cleaner, watch before you sit for sure.
Came and saw the Joker Movie and it was simply a great experience. The popcorn was PERFECT! The soft drink were soft drinks and candy is all the same. I do want acknowledge how great the staff there are. When as soon Id walked away, somebody knocked them out of my hands. I was visibly, but the staff jumped into action. Got me another soft drink and popcorn as well as cleaning up the spill Id made earlier
Nice venue for movies, the seats comfortable but not reclining as I would have expected. Moreover, the floor of the the theater was extremely sticky (too much soda spilled during previous shows?!? I hope only that...). Definitely not my first choice as you can clearly find better movie theaters in the city.

2022-03-27Large theater (14 screens) with great decor (including in their clean bathrooms), an actual bar !!! , good amount of food and snack options. Some of the screens have nice controllable recliner chairs. Location is great as there is great public transport right outside the theater (M34 bus) and 1 2 3 subway lines, along with Penn station.The restrooms are on the top floor though.

2022-07-15This location has dolby and imax and digital also has 3D. Huge complex. The seats are recliner if you go to dolby and the screens are pretty big. The tickets go till $25-$30. The seats are comfortable and huge entertainment. You will able to get liquor on this location too, so you can drink and watch movie. Being a- list member gives a lot of benefits too.Happy watching movie.

2022-01-22Watched the animated film Belle, was pretty good. Seats were comfortable - soft and bouncy. There was a heated option, but take note that it only heats the lower back area.
Review №5
2022-06-14Great movie theater, has like 7 floors of theaters. If you can ever go to IMAX I highly recommend it. It is a solid 10/10 over here. But it would cost you 25 USD per person to watch something. Still it’s a great theater and I love coming here.

2022-04-20Unique because of the 5 escalators, makes for a fun night out and very centrally located if youre staying in NYCs midtown. Be sure to ask for the BiG Apple Special; a gooey red candy apple driven deep into the heart of your buttered popcorn. Oh yeah, if youre going to order that, bring hand wipes lol

2022-05-16We had a 1pm movie and when we arrived at 12:35 the AMC was all locked up, we called but no employees answered the phone. We were later told they would open up in about 15 minutes which gave us only a handful of time to retrieve our e-tickets and go to con session

2021-08-28Had an amazing experience at this location. The movie theater was cleaned and well kept compared to other locations such as the amc at bay plaza shopping, Harlem and on 84th street. The location is also in one of the most urban location downtown Manhattan. The only downside compared to that of Bay plaza shopping mall is the lack of parking area for anyone driving. All in all, I had an amazing experience in general, the staffs were friendly and willing to answer any questions you might have. Just come experience this urban location with your loved ones and I promise youll never regret coming here.

2022-05-12Not my favorite spot to enjoy a movie but it might be what many prefer. I liked that the recliner seats are all seats, but if its your first time you might cook yourself up by pressing the heat button instead of the direction you want your chair to go.Luckily I wasnt here on a packed night as Im not so sure about the turn of phone enforcement here especially being my first time here in 3 years, lets just say I wasnt impressed.The screen experience didnt fail, sound was excellent. Overall not a bad experience. I just have been spoiled by better experiences. Ill like to check out the upcoming Avatar movie on their screen. I can imagine the sound and picture quality here being a win.
