The 12 Best Movie Theaters in New York City

"If you're looking for ribcage-shaking Dolby Atmos sound and the biggest IMAX screen in the country (measuring in at 75.6 feet tall and 101 feet wide), the AMC at Lincoln Square is the king of the city's big chain theaters. The theater is a fun matinee excursion for families, fit with head-sized Icees cups, viral popcorn buckets, and wonderfully crisp 70 mm projection. As is the policy at every AMC theater in the country, tickets for screenings prior to 4 p.m. have 25% taken off the evening price, making a day at the theater one of the best-value things to do in the city. If your crew is hungry afterwards, the theater also places moviegoers near some great crowdpleasers—Magnolia Bakery is just one block up, and Parm's Upper West Side location is just another."

I’ve seen movies in a dozen states, and this has to be the coolest theatre that I’ve ever seen! On the second floor, the hallway and each theatre has been unique designed to reflect something related to film, Hollywood, or movie theatres. The IMAX entry is on the top floor and has its own concessions stand. The chairs weren’t incredible, they rocked but didn’t recline, but I assume that it’s to fit more people in.

Went there today to watch superman. Nice and clean. Went to the Imax theatre and screen was HUGE. Staff were very nice. Seating was nice and comfortable. Also went here 2 years ago Summer 2023 to see Oppenheimer. Will come again!

This theatre is amazing. Several floors. Very cool theater names. Great sound and picture. But very expensive.

I was here in october 2023. I checked out a movie in a normal cinema room downstairs. It was nothing special. The amount of commercials/trailer was crazy. Half an hour is way to much. I checked out some other rooms which looked better. Later this year when i'm back i will check out a movie in Imax, preferably in the evening with more crowd. I checked out the whole theater from top to bottom. It was pretty fun and the art on the walls looked great. The popcorn with butter was an interesting experience. Food is expensive though. The view from the top is good. All in all a fun experience.

Amazing screen and extraordinary visuals. Just cannot go wrong with this when it comes to IMAX. Gigantic screen but AMC got one thing completely wrong which is the spacing, too big screen too cramped up seating. Why couldn't they space out the seats a little more and make the whole theater a little bigger so that the seats were at a good amount of distance away from the screen, that would've really amped the experience. I was seated in the second last row and still couldn't even cover the seats and the screen in one picture. 1 star less for making it feel like I am watching a movie in a room rather than a theater. So ironic, Americans are all about movies and everything is so big here, yet they got the theatre size wrong which is small.

Four of us were able to attend the NY premier of Mission Impossible, the Final Reckoning at the beautiful giant IMAX theatre. The screen is huge and you really feel like you are a part of the movie. A great experience.

Greatest screen and IMAX on earth. The crown jewel of American cinema. In a world where we have 90” 4K atmos setups at home. It’s restored the magic of going to the movies.

They got rats crawling around and sh!t, hugging ya feet on the THIRD FLOOR. To add on, they are munching on my feet while l'm munching on my nachos. I cannot make this up, when I spoke to a worker here she said "we are in New York" and didn't want to give us a refund until niggs got loud. Do not waste your time and money here!!!!!

Best location for IMAX in NYC and great for Dolby as well! Yay! 2025 - Finally! All the theaters in this locations are now renovated with plush seats! Recently came to watch a movie in the lower level - black plush seats, but they don't recline or have heat though... some of locations do. Still good and glad it's renovated and can book tickets in advance. When your tickets tell you what theater to go to, you do need the check which theater number it's in...and know if going upstairs or downstairs IMAX on the 4th floor Theaters 1-9 are on the second floor (theater 1 is Dolby) Theaters 10-12 are the in lower level Get the AMC app if you don't have it... Yes, one pays a premium for tickets but get discount tickets or better yet get on AMC A-List! Now get 4 movies a week! $28/month (that's the price of 1 IMAX tix alone!)... Make sure to scan your ticket in (pay attention to the updated rules).

I get how much people love imax, I also understand the superior quality of picture and sound. With that said, I was in the 5th row and it still felt too close. The screen is blinding. And the fact that the seats are in one continuous row for like 40+ seats. I do not like it, very inconvenient for Bathroom or concession runs. Lastly, the quality of food is trash and as always overpriced. Wasn't compelled to take any pictures. Service was standard.

The ambiance of the theatre is wonderful. The entrance to all of the movies have different artwork. It feels like stepping back into time. The theater is clean. They do not have the heated seating or reclining seating like some of the other AMC theaters. The movies have great picture quality. Enjoy the movies!

When you walk into the theater, it is magical. The murals the box office . All of it! The aesthetics are beautiful. The theater is close to Subway line N 1-2-3 , right down the block. Not every theater has the recliners so you select your ticket you'd be able to tell which movie has the recliners on the AMC app. Pleasant employees work here as well. They have early matinee movies during the week.

This is a such a great and fun AMC Theater to see a movie. Its a huge complex spanning many floors with 13 rooms of varying sizes. The main draw is the IMAX which is at the top and biggest IMAX screen in the US. They have their own concession stand and bathrooms. I saw a movie here once and couldn't get over how huge the screen was. Definitly worth the trip to see something here at least once. Best to sit further back and as close to the center as you can possibly get. Another great room is the Dolby which has two floors in it. It's well spaced out and you can get in and out of the rows pretty easily. Best not to sit under the overhang if you want the best sound experience I've found, so dont sit any further back then rows F/G. The rest of the rooms are all nice as well. The whole space is themed to the Golden Age of movies. The rooms in the lower level were added a few years after the place opened and are on the smaller side. Little indie films always seem to be down there or something thats been out for a long time. Plenty of restrooms and the main concessions line moves pretty fast. They recently updated some, maybe all (?) the rooms with new chairs although they don't recline. I saw Wicked 2 weeks ago in Dobly and it was the old recliners but saw Babygirl yesterday in room 3 and it was the new chairs. Sound was awesome by the way in room 3. Not sure if they renovated the sound as well. My friend pointed out the floors are now faux hard wood as opposed to tile and he felt the sound is reflecting better due to this change. Bathrooms are a little old and could use a renovation. They often have movie premieres here, and costumes from current films are always on display!

Definitely a must go for movie lovers, 97 feet wide and 76 feet tall of beautiful silver screen if you choose the IMAX experience that you WON'T regret. Keep some money saved up thought because these ticket prices can definitely reach some budgets, the Tuesday ticket prices are a good alternative though so make sure to check that out.

I like this AMC! The screens are always super large and immersive, and I especially enjoy coming here to see the movies in IMAX (Oppenheimer and Interstellar!) Theaters are huge in general. The staff have been friendly to me, and lines move pretty quickly in general. The bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

What was meant to be a relaxing Sunday evening activity for two friends turned into a jump scare nightmare. Had I wanted to experience the feelings of a horror movie I would have gone to see one, but seeing as that is my least favorite genre I opted to see Materialists. To my dismay my friend and I had to RUN OUT of the theatre half way through the film because we noticed something crawling. We subtly turned on the flashlight in a way as to not disturb those around us and what did we see other than NOT one but TWO mice crawling around us. The worst part, is that one of them was ON THE WALL RIGHT BY OUR HEADS. Obviously we ran out of the theatre to report what we had seen and the reaction of the worker we told was to turn to his coworker and say "we have a micky sighting in theatre 4." Meaning this is not the first time this has occurred. I'm honestly shocked by the fact that this is so normalized seeing that tickets were 25 dollars each . The same way that I would expect a refund on a meal if I found a bug in my food, I expect a refund on this movie (that I did not get to finish). Really disappointing and while I understand it's New York and rodents are inevitable, the bare minimum is for customer service to apologize for the inconvenience and issue a refund. Also, the mice were both babies which means that a mother probably gave birth in that theatre!!! PSA false advertising - the chairs don't recline. Otherwise I could have lifted my legs up for protection from the mice.

Ran directly to the AMC Lincoln Square 13 IMAX theater, in order to see the limited run of the Navy Blue Angels. The seats are comfortable, there are no obstructions from viewers in front of you, and the sound system is outstanding. This IMAX theater should be your ONLY choice to see movies of this caliber and I hope everyone will experience the technology that this theater presents.

The biggest and best IMAX screen in the country is at AMC Lincoln Square - it's also one of the biggest IMAX screens in the world. This cinema often has special screenings and advanced releases before the rest of the nation. Sometimes they have screenings followed by in-person Q&A with the cast and filmmakers. I've experienced numerous celebrity sightings here. Because of all this, the AMC Lincoln Square is one of my favorite cinemas. The only negative about this theater is most screens don't have stadium seating, which is standard these days. Those auditoriums need some serious updating - but that's not a problem on the IMAX screen. Overall this place is very well run. I've always had a good time and never had a problem with the quality of service.

We went here for pre screening of Beetlejuice. We were at theatre 9, there was a line for the concession stand. The sidewalks had garbage outside. After the movie, you can take pictures with the displays.

We paid for a slushie and the machine wasn't working, so we waited forever to get a replacement drink. Also the theater seats are not clean. I moved from one to another to avoid a used foil wrapper stuck between the seats and the seat I moved to had the same issue. Clean the theater between showings, for crying out loud.

The best AMC in the city. I'm here about 5 times a month and I'm always satisfied. The Dolby and IMAX theaters are fantastic. Lots of Q&As and special events at this location as well. Sometimes the seats can be a bit dirty but it is definitely one of the cleaner theaters in the city. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. Ticket prices are definitely expensive so I would recommend signing up for a membership if you plan on coming to this theater often.

Food (2/5): Got an all beef hot dog which was alright. The bread seemed like the cheap potato bun and the hot dog seemed cheap too. Not the best food but it's alright especially since it was part of a promo. Service (3/5): Not particularly outstanding but got the order done with no issues and they gave us water cups. We ordered a hot dog and it came out reasonably quickly. Ambiance (3/5): While the exterior to the actual theater rooms are cool with nice gates and look nice, the interior where you watch the movie leaves much to be desired. Seats are nasty and not the most comfortable. They are also not angled so if someone is tall in front of you it may block the view. It's also hard to squeeze through the row when you need to step out of your seat to go to the bathroom. The interior of the theaters place could use an upgrade and deep cleaning.

I went to see the Barbie movie with my friend and we had a great time. We went upstairs, scanned our tickets, and purchased candy and drinks. My friend bought popcorn and a drink, I bought Twizzlers and a drink. We got our seats and they were comfortable. The theater was clean, and it was easy to find our seats. The employees behind the concessions stand and scanning tickets were super nice. The bathrooms were also clean with plenty of open and available stalls. The only thing that I really didn't like about the experience was the teenager with his friends sitting a few rows behind us who kept yelling at the screen like your obnoxious uncle watching football on Thanksgiving. It didn't matter how many times people told him to be quiet. He refused. Of course, that is at no fault of the theater so that doesn't affect the number of stars that I'm giving the business. I just wish there was a way to handle the situation without confrontation. The movie was great, and I'm glad that I saw it again. My movie experiences have been great ever since AMC upgraded their seats and concession stands. I would be happy to come back again the next time there's an exciting movie out.

Worth it if you're seeing something in iMAX. Otherwise, it's your typical nyc theater. Fairly worn down seats in almost all other auditoriums. Unless line is super long, better off ordering your food in the main area and then taking up to the imax theater. There is a concessions stand there but certain items are only on the main floor so you end up waiting until they bring up for you.

I guess some of the other reviews mentioned some auditoriums have recliner seats. I was in auditorium 11 tonight which did not. I'm visiting from Southern California (needed to find something to do due to rain) and I have not seen a non recliner movie seat in at least 10 years. My 15 year old literally said "why are the floors sticky?" The seats also didn't seem very clean either. The initial price for the movie ticket was going to be $17.99 + service charge of purchasing online, which amounted to over $20 per ticket. BUT! Apparently I got some kind of Tuesday discount for being AMC premier and it came out to $14 for BOTH tickets! For this price I guess the old timey theater was just okay. I would have been mad if I actually paid $20 per ticket. How can New Yorkers put up with this rip off?!?

One of the cleaner AMC theaters I have been too. Some of the theaters in this building have reclining seats which are nice. There is a Dolby theater in here too. This theater is like 3-4 floors. They also have a little arcade area. The concession area is a good size and has plenty to choose from. They also have soda machines where you can pour your own soda. And they have a few of them so no one really should be waiting in a line for them. One of the few AMC I recommend going to.

This AMC has had 3.5 stars for as long as I can remember, and I feel like very few businesses capture the range of personalities, preferences and priorities on Yelp than those with 3.5 stars, especially if they've been operating for many years and have hundreds of reviews. Even within the 3.5-star rating realm, a large and decades-old multiplex offers an unusually fascinating slice of cultural anthropology, collecting disparate and evolving attitudes and expectations regarding one of the most universally popular forms of entertainment. Skim reviews from the past year or two, for example, and you'll find dramatically different ratings for what seem to be the same experience: Seeing a movie and eating some popcorn in a simple theater. Some people think that's exactly what they paid for, and others expect more of Manhattan moviegoing in the 2020s and in the age of Alamo Drafthouse-style hospitality. Similarly, there are glowing reviews that mention the cavernous IMAX theater boasting a 100-foot screen and the newer Dolby theater boasting huge luxury recliners that jostle patrons in sync with the most thunderous moments of the state-of-the-art audio. There are also brutal reviews that dismiss the IMAX and Dolby offerings as little more than two bright spots in an irredeemably archaic cineplex. Unlike a lot of 3.5-star businesses, I generally don't feel that anyone is right or wrong about their ratings here. If someone expects a leather chair or a craft beer while watching a movie at a big theater chain, I guess that's a valid opinion. And if someone really sees a mouse scurrying around somewhere, or was really treated terribly by employees, I'm not going to say that a 1-star review is unreasonable. But I will say that I live four blocks from this AMC, and I've been coming here for 12 years, and I've been getting my money's worth out of my A-List membership for as long as it's existed, and I've never encountered vermin or a single rude remark from any staff member. For a Broadway theater, the place is remarkably clean imo, and the employees are not just courteous and helpful but sometimes actually cool as hell. On top of all that basic stuff, this is a flagship NYC cinema, and so they're always having red carpet premieres (even on back-to-back nights earlier this month) and special Q&A events where you get to talk with superstar actors and directors after seeing a flick (a few that come to mind are Regina King, Barry Jenkins, Brendan Fraser and Bradley Cooper). I also adore the decor, which includes towering murals and elaborate ornamentation, e.g., faux Hollywood palm trees and theater entrances with sphinxes and pharaohs and other old-school movie palace details. And finally, the range of films is terrific, encompassing all the blockbusters plus a steady diet of borderline-arthouse fare. So yeah, whatever it says about my personality, preferences and priorities, I'm giving this AMC two thumbs up and a very enthusiastic five stars.

Seats are great- food people and management have no idea what's going on. Ask me what time my order is supposed to be ready ex 3:10 and it's 3:14 and manager says oh they still have to make it and aren't helpful. Could run it better myself

The place is, I hate to say this, old and ru down. The seats are worn and uncomfortable. I think, it's about time a major renovation especially if this specific theater is competing with the newly renovated Regal Cinema (E-walk) right across the street !

I'm a avid film buff. I love seeing movies up on the big screen. Nowadays many people just stay home and wait for the movie to drop online since they have huge screen TVs with BOSE surround systems but it's just not the same experience in my humble opinion. I see most films on the huge IMAX Screen @ AMC Lincoln Center, which is actually the biggest IMAX in the USA (75.6 feet tall & 101 feet wide) {the largest IMAX in the world is in Leonberg, Germany @ 127.2 ft x 68.8 ft -- to put this into perspective, the screen is wider than a Boeing 737 airliner}. An adult ticket for the IMAX is $26.99 + another $2.69 in online tick fees. Pretty darn pricey . That's why I'm an AMC A-List member. What's that you say? ‍ Well, I pay a flat $24.99 per month and I'm able to see up to 3 films per week in ANY format (IMAX, 3D, 70mm, etc). It's on a monthly basis as well so you don't have to commit to a yearly membership and you can cancel anytime. It's like the best kept secret in NYC for film buffs. The membership literally pays for itself even if you only see one IMAX film per month. It's much better than the competing plan at Regal Cinemas where you can see unlimited films but have to pay extra to see them in any format other than the regular 2D. ANYhow, I just saw DUNE Part 2, which was spectacular. I waited this long to see it because good center row seats have been sold out til now and still are, but I got lucky when someone cancelled so I got a decent seat. And for this film you really wanna wait to see it in IMAX. Plus the sound system at Lincoln Center is pretty tight too. So, if you're a film fan like I am what are you waiting for? Oh, and I run NYC GRINDHOUSE, a free film based group that focuses on the Horror, Grindhouse and Exploitation genres. Check it out @ www.NYCGRINDHOUSE.com

There is a rodent issue. It is expensive and congestion pricing does not help the cause. This was my go to theater for decades. Not returning.

I spent the last 30 minutes of a film in sheer terror, convinced a rat was about to jump on me from the row behind. The IMAX seating is so steep that I was practically eye level with it, making the whole experience even more nauseating. This used to be one of my favorite theaters, but it's clearly falling into neglect, and it shows.

I came here on a Sunday to see a movie. It was surprisingly packed with large crowds of people to see the new Super Mario movie. I like checking out the different AMC theaters in the city because they all are different in their own way. I usually go to the one by 34th street because they have recliner seats. This one did not so I was a bit hesitant. Each of the screenings had a different name. My screen was Avalon. I thought that was creative. The seats were alright but not as comfortable as I hoped they would be. I missed the reclining seats in the other AMC theaters. The screening was packed and everyone was piled up next to each other. The staff had to come in a couple of times to move people from their seats because they were in the wrong ones. Overall the movie experience was fine. This is a nice theater if you are in the area but I think I will go back to my reclining seats.

I've visited this AMC a few times. The employees are friendly, but there's a bit of a robotic vibe in the evenings (absolutely understandably from someone who used to work in a customer service role). Nonetheless, the employees are the heart of the theater and carry the vibe throughout. The theater itself is decent, nothing extraordinary. Everything is pretty easy to navigate and is self explanatory. Funny to note, last time I was here with a friend we got (accidentally) spit on by another moviegoer who was doing a spit take at the top of the escalators. A true 4D experience.

Still my fave movie theater in the city. The cool art deco look, art, themed rooms, and decor is a throwback to the golden age of movies. Terrific theaters here, IMAX, concessions, recliner seating in the Dolby cinema, nice staff, clean overall. Saw Top Gun here on IMAX and it was an amazing viewing experience. Saw it again in the Dolby Cinema last night and it was also great.

Seriously disgusting. In Theater 2, I saw more than one mouse -- or possibly a small rat -- scurrying across the aisle during the movie. I will NEVER go back to that movie theater!

I've been coming to this movie theater for years, it's one of my favs! I recently attended to see Minions: The Rise of Gru which I enjoyed because im a big kid at heart lol. The theaters are huge with tons of leg room for those with long legs like me. The chairs are also comfortable. Of course the air conditioner is always blasting so I'd recommend bringing a sweater! The bathrooms were clean and had a lot of stalls which limited the possibility of long lines. The snacks were a bit questionable. I got the nachos and the cheese tasted strange. I couldn't even finish it. The popcorn didn't have much butter on it. The icee is conveniently located in a separate section which is awesome because you can refill your cup if needed. I'd recommend but I'd suggest to eat before hand or bring your own snacks. It's not like they're checking bags or anything

This is my go to movie theatre in Manhattan. Came here to see Top Gun Maverick which is the sequel to my favorite movie of all time which is the original Top Gun. This did not disappoint and I won't comment so no spoiler alerts. Go see the movie. I've been coming to this theatre for a long time, the IMAX theater is always a great choice. Prices are getting expensive Adults are now up to $27.99 for IMAX for the evening movies. It's pretty clean overall, one fix would be to make the bathrooms bigger. Good place to see a movie, street parking is not bad on the weekends. I'm not a person who goes to the movies much anymore although this is one of the better places to see a movie.

If you're not in one of the fancy theatres, you're in an auditorium straight from the 90s, including folding style stadium seats and sticky floors. Bathrooms were dirty and smelled. On the plus side, reserved seating. While the theatres are marked by an auditorium number, they aren't marked by movie - so it's easy to get confused where you are supposed to go. There really isn't a ton of staff around, they are at their stations (checking stations and concessions). My friend actually got lost coming back from the bathroom because she forgot the theatre number and the lack of signage indicating which movie was in which theatre lol. Overall, it was a meh experience. I wish the seats were nicer and more comfortable. The general cleanliness left a lot to be desired.

I was in the area for an appointment and this theater was a block away so I decided to go see Wonka. I bought my ticket on Fandango as I saw it was Recliner seats (I'm spoiled now and don't want to go to theaters without recliners lol) for that showtime and also said it was Dolby Cinema @AMC which I guess is supposed to have better picture & sound etc. I thought the ticket price was rather high ($27)! When you get there you have to immediately go up escalators, then there are signs that indicate you go up an elevator for the IMAX theater and the rest of the auditoriums are grouped together, including the one I was going to. Once I went into that area I saw most of the theaters had styled grand-looking entrances with names but I think those are older and most wouldn't have recliners. The auditorium I was in was Auditorium 1 and right in the front looking very different from the others (like a sleek black box). Inside it was a huge screen and a separate way to go up if you had balcony seats. The recliners were comfy although I wish the leg part went up more rather than leaving your leg bent at the knee. There was also some popcorn strewn about in the seats, so they could do a better job cleaning. But overall it was great reclining in comfortable chairs looking up at a giant screen with great picture quality & sound in a huge theater with good spacing. $27 is pricey for one ticket but still can be worth it for this quality. I would return to this particular auditorium but don't know about the others as they sound like they may be rundown. I would be interested in checking out the IMAX theater there even though I don't think that theater has recliners. There was one ladies restroom at the other end of the floor--decent number of stalls & ok cleanliness but they could probably benefit from another bathroom.

Nice theater that reminds me of Hollywood Mann Chinese Theater. They even had the stars on the floor just like in Hollywood Boulevard with all the palm trees. Of course had to have the popcorn. This is my go to AMC in NYC.

My first time coming here was a couple of weeks ago to see the film Theater Camp. It's one of the few theaters in the area that was playing this film so I decided to betray my usual movie place and give this one a visit. It didn't wow me too much. Let's just say that. One pro. It's in a great area on the upper west side with the 1, 2, 3 & A/C trains all within a few blocks. It's a huge movie theater. 3 floors with multiple theaters and is very spacious. There are arcade games and coin rides. The concessions are what give this spot a huge pro. They have Coke Freestyle machines all over so you have multiple options for drinks with easy refills. Free refills on popcorn as well. The food options are plenty and pretty good from what I had. I had the pretzel bites with everything bagel seasoning. Kind of pricey, but they do give you a lot and they were yummy. Con...the people that worked the concessions were not friendly in the least. Looked like they would rather be anywhere else but there. Now, the themed outsides of the theaters are interesting but kind of strange and really make no sense. I find it odd, but that's just me. My movie was in Theater 5 that's in the left-hand corner of the second floor. The sound was good. The picture quality was fine. The inside seemed really dingy and dated. The seats are a big con. The seats are so close together and they're rickety. Pales in comparison to the huge, spaced-out, reclining seating at the Regal theaters I go to. The bathrooms were kinda crummy as well. Dirty and not many things working. Will I come back to this spot? Quite possibly because they seem to have movies that not too many other places show. Maybe the next theater I'll be in will wow me more than #5 did.

I attended a screening at AMC Lincoln Square yesterday. The sound in the theater was broken (dialogue only coming through one speaker in a far corner of the theater), but the staff said it would be fixed, each of the several times we asked. It never was, and when I asked the theater manager, he said I'd need to contact Fandango for a refund. (He also said the sound issue was a known, ongoing problem, for at least a week, and that they "might call in a professional soon" if it didn't resolve itself.) Fandango refused to help, saying that the theater's refund policy required requests to be initiated "prior to showtime". It should be clear that it's impossible to ask for a refund before you are aware that the theater isn't working, and while you are actively being told by theater staff that they're working on the problem. So, warning to others: don't assume that because you were sold tickets, it means the theater is working. Don't buy tickets through a third-party service like Fandango. And if there is a problem, don't believe the staff when they say "we're working on it". Ask for a refund right away.

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars for this AMC. I'm a devout AMC Stubs member(AMC's rewards program) and do enjoy their theaters and options. So I don't want to bash them too hard. First the negative...Went to see Tom Cruise/M:I Dead Reckoning in IMAX. Saw the movie at 9am on a rainy Sunday. Took forever at the concession stand to get my everything pretzel bites and large soda. I figured the everything pretzel bites were an equal alternative to an everything bagel without the egg and bacon. It did come with Nacho Cheese. It was pretty good despite taking forever to get prepared. The other downside to this is the "plush rockers." I've gotten so use to the recliners that the rockers don't do it for me anymore. IMAX only has rockers. Onto the good stuff. Overall Lincoln Square is very spacious. Definitely a nice theater to go to. I also have gone to Kips Bay on 2nd Ave and the AMC on W 34th. No real comment on the staff. They did their job. The ambience, nice decorations and sound level. I think in the odd moment I want to see a movie in IMAX would be the only reason I'd be going to Lincoln Square. I think I like Kips Bay the best.

Came here to see Black Panther (my boyfriend pretty much stated this is the only theater he would watch it at lol) Beautiful and very clean theater as well as comfortable chairs . Only downside is one , they ran out of chicken fingers which was a bummer as I was starving being that I went to catch a movie in between classes & it was only 12:30pm . ( Only food item I'll actually eat from a theater , besides snacks ) In addition to this , I believe I was charged for the tenders that I asked for as I realized once my movie started that I didn't get a receipt for my items and I was charged near 60 bucks, for which should have been no more than $40 .... The team that was there was helpful and the manger quickly resolved the matter .Def will be my go to movie theater due to the cleanness and the customer service provided .

Jeffry who scans your tickets really made my movie experience. Me and my friend who live in the neighborhood love coming here, but haven't in a while. We walk in and he said, "ayyeee they're back! The two legends." I have no idea if he remembered us but it was so endearing. Me and my friend have been seeing movies together since high school and we haven't done it in so long. When we first walked in and Jeffry greeted us this way, we felt so special and we talked about it all night. It made us feel even more connected with our neighborhood. Him acknowledging us and taking genuine interest in our movie was so kind. I was looking forward to coming back to the movie theatre since I hadn't been since January, and his kindness really made an impact. I don't usually write reviews, but I hope someone who works here sees this and tells Jeffry he's doing amazing. In the world we live today, people like him change lives.

Great theater. Fun themes and decorations. Finding the downstairs theaters can be kind of confusing so ask a worker if you get confused. They do lots of premieres here so you can spot celebs sometimes! Expensive tickets in the city but the AMC pass is worth it if you love movies.

AMCA-List member reviewing various AMCs throughout the country. It's been a while, but I used to attend this theater very regularly, at least 17 times according to Swarm. Seats: Vary based on individual theater but not all are reclining. Screens: Vary based on individual theaters - the IMAX is amazing. Macguffins: No, due to NYC regulations. If one location was going to have a Macguffins though (I think the only one in NYC is downtown), this would be a good candidate. Snacks: Have only had soda and popcorn here, all were good. Can have long lines even with the A-list VIP line. Crowd: Not a huge hot spot for rowdy teens. Bathrooms: Not the worst but not the cleanest. It's Manhattan. Parking: Lol. Take the train. Nicole Kidman AMC ad?: Insufficient data. Overall: 4/5. This theater is huge and features unique artwork and detailing related to historic movie palaces around the world. Great IMAX screens. I saw a press screening of Jurassic World 2 here and they took my phone and gave me Skittles, which I think is a fair trade. More theaters should have cool theming like this!
