This our FAVORITE movie theater. It's clean and comfy. No worrying about where to sit when you get inside. It's all figured out when you buy your tickets at the cashier. The three rows at the front of the theaters are the best because the fully recline! Yes I said recline! Like, electronically! So cool! However, please NOTE! Not available in IMAX. Food is ok but very pricey like all other theaters. read more

AMC Assembly Row 12 - Cinema Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

This AMC is just okay. The theaters are a bit small and the reclining seats are limited to the very front and the sides. They have a decent selection of movie snacks and a MacGuffins Bar. I often find that the seats are in poor condition and the bathrooms aren't well maintained. It's unfortunate since they're in such a prime location. If I have the time, I'd rather venture up to the Burlington AMC which is much larger and every seat reclines. read more

I like the layout of this theater and the staff are usually quite helpful. For a fairly new theater, it has it's problems. Many seat covers are ripped and torn with stuffing coming out. Cleaning crews don't seem to have enough time between showings and a lot gets left behind. I paid for an IMAX 3d showing recently and the 3D was down. I was able to get a voucher, but only after word of mouth spread around the theater (no announcement was made re: reimbursement if you paid for the 3d showing). AMC is the more expensive theater in the area and the premium prices no longer match the premium experience of when this one opened just a few years ago. read more

The place has very nice seats. You get to pick your seat when you purchase your tickets. The side and front seats recline. The middle ones rock. The arm rests are larger than the ones at most amcs. You don't have to worry that you won't have a place to put your arm. The prices are a bit steep. We had gold tickets that we purchased for $8.50 each at costco. Amc only gives customers credit for $7.50 worth. (I'm not sure why. It seems a bit dishonest to me.) When we saw a 3d movie, we had to pay an extra $4 per person. That's a total of $12.50 per ticket. (Regular price would have been $13.50). That means we only saved $1 with our gold tickets. (Less than the 10% off I would have gotten with amc stubs.). Also, amc stubs can no longer be used with gold tickets. Gold tickets are no longer the great deal they used to be. read more

The seats are SO COMFORTABLE. The normal seats are plush armchairs that lean back slightly. There are also rows of seats on the left that recline all the way -- I'm not sure how to get those seats, if they cost more, and if they're as comfortable as they look (they look really comfortable -- bring a blanket). The theater was clean and they have a bar in addition to the typical concession stuff. The theater looks new and well-run. I'll still watch most of my movies at home on Netflix, but if I was going to go to the theater, this is a good place to be! read more

The most comfortable recliners to watch movies Reserved seats New giant cinema screens with amazing audio Touch screen soda machine with a lot of flavors Lot of places to eat around Big Parking lots What else would you want ? Better than Boston commons AMC theatre. Cheaper too. read more

I always go to this theater and have never had an issue, the few times I've needed to change tickets or request a refund it has been quick and easy. read more

This a review of the new Dolby Theatre. I don't know how to rate this -- on the face of it, it's a great offering, with reserved, reclining seats, etc. But there is one big problem: DONT GO WITH THIS OPTION UNLESS YOU ARE ALREADY DEAF OR WANT TO BE!!!! We had to ask for our money back - which they readily did -- as I became severely disoriented by the incredibly high volume level. We sat through the usual loud previews with our fingers pressed to our ears, hoping the main feature would be okay, but it was just as loud. The man at Guest Services told us Dolby wouldn't let them adjust it. AMC should have a warning label. read more

The movie theaters are great but the management really need up the concessions stand. Waited 30min for food even though I pre ordered on line. read more

I went with my girlfriend to watch Captain Marvel which is a great movie btw. The place isn't that big and the seats weren't the best. There was a big gap between our two seats which made it uncomfortable because we wanted to be closer together. Other than that, it is a fairly new place so everything was clean and up to date. read more

They don't have reclining seat except for the very front rows and some on the very sides of the theater. The seats are couches but don't recline. They are torn up and the theater itself is really dirty. There was so much trash in between the seats and on the floor that I felt uncomfortable sitting on their couches. The sound system was also horrible as you could hear an echo. They also lied about the reclining seats when I called. It smelled like alcohol and like something went rancid. I can't believe this is even an AMC. read more

Can't wait til they finish the T stop so I can start coming here regularly. Got there early so my friend and I sat and had beers. Guys. They serve 32 oz beers. And you can bring them into the theatre. Which has cushy leather seats that don't make your bum fall asleep. Big fan. read more

This place is pretty cool! so many snacks,food, and bar. Love the reclining seats.. I think this may be our new theater! read more

OK, would you like the good news first? Seats, sound. 3D effects, free parking, are all excellent. Everything else is a f'd-up mess. Concession area/human rat maze had no prices on any of the bottled beverages or candy. Huh? Are the Kit Kat bars $1.25 or $12.50? When I mentioned it to a staff member I got a confused look as if I was speaking some ancient Native American dialect. Bottle of water was $5. Fountain sodas are ridiculously expensive. Not sure of the exact price because there was no menu or signs. 3D glasses were all filthy dirty, not just fingerprints, they all had a thick rim of black crud around the lens edges. When did the theatre open? 2014? That was the last time they were cleaned. I strongly suggest bringing in your own food and drinks. You could probably carry in a entire picnic basket and a wheeled cooler and the zero-attention-span staff wouldn't even notice. Bring some anti-bacterial wipes as well and enjoy the movie! AMC, you should be doing a much better job. Assembly Row is a really nice shopping center. Too bad you're dragging it down. read more

Soooo glad this opened up! My new go to movie theater!! +Free parking lot attached to the movie theaters! +Butter dispensing machine +Coca Cola Free style machines +Rocking chairs or recliners in the front section +Seat selection!! +Huge arm rest in between seats! -Pricey but what movie theater isn't pricey nowadays? read more

Okay, so this place takes more planning than most. You're able to reserve your seats, so if you're going last minute, you might be screwed out of the good seats. But the seats are luxury - super comfy, recline, plenty of room. Super nice. A couple could raise the arm bar and basically lie down next to each other without bothering anyone else. They also have big full-sized recliners lining the walls with your own private booth. So yeah, as long as you're a planner - great theater, super comfy. read more

Great place to see a movie. My particular pet peeve, as a 6'3 man who has never kicked the back of a theater seat in front of me, is people who do so constantly for no reason at all. Those people usually sit behind me and this annoys me. You pick your seat for each theater and there are boxes that cost more, but give you the choice of having no one sit behind you. Extra, but worth it. Next time we might try just sitting in the back row, as the theaters are not huge in terms of seating but the screens are, so that should solve the problem and save a bit of money. Also nice that you have a wide range of food and even beer and wine if you so choose. read more

Love this place! It's awesome that you can pick you seats so if you buy your tickets online ahead of time, then you don't have to worry about rushing to the theatre an hour early on a friday/saturday night to get a good seat. When you buy your tickets at the theatre, you still have to pick your seats as well. The theatre I was in (#12) was smaller inside than i'm used to, but the seats are luxurious! We opted for the recliners in the front section. You may be close to the screen but if you are laying all the way back it doesn't matter. Also - its nice because they have a good amount of room between the seats so you aren't close to your neighbor. It looked like there was a large candy/food selection but I didn't look. There's also a bar as well. Definitely will be back! read more

For the best experience, get tickets in advance (requires choosing your seats on a seatmap.) All the seats are big ass leather recliners, but only the front half of seats have FOOTRESTS. I recommend going to Sugar Heaven nearby to stock up on candy before the show. read more

This is an awesome place to see a movie. Unlike some of the older theaters that just added reclining seats but still have the same old screens, this theater is totally modern with large screens and seats that are elevated so everyone can see the screen. Great selection of food as well as a bar. Place is kept very clean and staff is very friendly. Parking is plentiful and free. Prices are definitely higher than other movie theaters, but you get what you pay for. The biggest problem is actually the customers who, despite getting several announcements not to use cell phones, seem to think it is OK to text, tweet, and use Facebook the entire movie. This is really killing my enjoyment of movies. AMC needs to do a better job policing this and should have ushers in the theaters. read more

This a much nicer AMC then the one downtown, the seats recline and I have never seen a mouse in the auditorium (really sad standard). You also can preselect your seats which is great, you don't have to arrive early and then wait forever hoping to get a good seat, you can choose ahead of time and then just show up. read more

This is a pretty cool theater. It is located around all of the shops around assembly row. On one of the levels of the parking lot, I believe level 3, you are able to directly enter into the movie theater without having to go outside. The snacks and drinks can be pretty pricey. The nice thing about the location of the theater is that you can easily go eat at one of the many restaurants located near it. read more

Tickets were sold even when the HVAC was not working I booked a show for 06/25/2019 late night and on reaching the theatre found out that the HVAC for the theatre was not working. The problem was known for the whole day, so much so, that a notice was put on the door. But still, the management had no issue in selling the tickets and letting people find out on their own after reaching the theatre. Was able to get a refund, but what a waste of time and effort of a customer for a known issue!! Very frustrated with the management! read more

I love this theater! The seats are so comfy and I love how they recline. There is also so many food options too!

I was surprised at how nice the theater was. The seats are awesome big and cozy. It would be nice if they declined, but for $12 per ticket they were a mic surprise. I wasn't a huge fan of the way the ci session area was set up. I imagine that when the theater is busy it looks like a mad house. read more

This place was great when they first opened but now its ALWAYS dirty and unorganized from the food court to the bathrooms not to mention the theaters are already torn apart smh read more

Recliner seats for everyone!!! From now on I'm only coming here. Loved the seating which, besides being wicked comfortable, let's you pick where you want to sit beforehand. This eliminates the need to get to the theater extra early for good seats. Fancy schmancy soda machines, not too overpriced alcoholic beverages and a clean facility. read more

Okay, so I live about a five minute walk across the Common from the AMC Loews Boston Common, but begged my friend to take the drive to Assembly Row to see Zooptopia as I tend to feel like the Boston Common AMC has a lot of "riff raff" hanging around there. I was SO glad we took a "field trip" to AMC Assembly Row. The theater is beautiful and everything is brand new. Parking is also great and FREE (an amazing word to those of us living in the city) in a state-of-the-art garage that tells you exactly which spots are free through a digital lighting system (I had only seen this before in Europe). We had purchased our tickets on the online app so we just had to scan our phone to be admitted to the theater -- no waiting in line to get tickets with our "pre paid" receipt or anything. The concession area is fantastic and they have those fancy touch screen soda machines were you can pretty much make any concoction of flavored soda you would like! They also have a huge self-serve popcorn area. The bonus was a bar where you can order alcohol and bring it into the movie with you. Since we ordered online, we had our seats preassigned and were able to get there right before the movie started and find our seats no problem. The seats are huge and recline plus they have double cup holders and plenty of room so you are not sitting on the person beside you. My biggest complaints is that the bathrooms were pretty disguesting. They really need to step up their game with keeping the bathrooms cleaned and maintained. Totally worth getting in the car and driving out to Assembly Row! read more

When I first moved to Boston I thought it was ludicrous that you had to reserve a seat at a movie theater, I was so used to just walking into any theater back at home and knowing I'd be able to find seats. At first I hated it, now I love that I can plan a movie night with my beau and not have to worry about finding good seats. We always try to opt for the reclining seats in the first few rows but we recently sat in the normal seats towards the back and they were very comfortable as well. I love that they have a bar and you can bring your drinks into the theater. The snacks are a good variety and for such a popular place, it isn't ever extremely crowded like the one in Downtown Crossing is. read more

Good theatre. Has booze. Some seats recline but the middle seats don't. :( A bit pricey for tix but a nice spot. read more

I was here over Valentines day weekend. Such a great theater to see a movie. Spacious and totally updated. Every seat in every theater has a great view of the movie screen. The seats on the side and in front are full recliner, while the seats in the middle section are just comfortable chairs that don't lean all the way back. The concession stand has your typical movie theater food, however there is a bar at this location which was a nice plus. Free parking garage located right next door! read more

Buy your tickets early to get reserved seating on the recliners! They're only in the front, but they're so worth it. Or even try to get the seats where there's the railing so you can rack your feet on them. Still worth it. This place is great because the seats are mad comfy, reserved seating, free spacious parking, and clean. One of the nicest AMC theaters around Boston and its surroundings! read more

The best movie theater in Greater Boston. Clean, new, comfortable. Assigned seats (book online), many recline fully. Plenty of parking. Well staffed. And a perfect date spot. read more

I went to see The Revenent last night and enjoyed the experience at this theater! You select your seat, so I arrived with just enough time to grab a popcorn and didn't worry about finding a seat. It was super clean--and there were wide paths to walk to get to your seat so you could actually tell that it was clean. The seats were plush and comfy. The food ordering process was a little confusing for a first timer. There's real food here (chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, etc), tons of candy options, popcorn, those soda machines where you select your flavor, and booze. You order at one place and pay at another. I think they could make it a little more clear b/c a bunch of people seemed confused about the process. There's a free parking lot here. Park on the third floor and there's a direct exit to the parking garage from the theater. My only complaint is that the lights stayed on (dim-ish, but on, kind of like they usually are for the previews). read more

Great Movie theater. I was in #6 and realized that they have recliners not for every seat!!!! In the middle seats there were no controls for the seats and they did not recline. .. The seats on the floor close to the screen had controls and the suite boxes on the side had controls. Very Clean. Will come back again but will make sure I pick the right seat. (Oh yea AMC is doing more reserved seating in their theaters) read more

Awesome experience!!! We loved the cushy recliners! Personal space in public, hell yeah! So super comfy I didn't want to leave as the credits rolled! minus half a star for being all leather seats. Ick. I'm vegan, and yeah, I recognize the rest of the world isn't ... but I'd have liked a skin free option! minus half a star for the bartender ... he spent more time talking about himself (to folks who looked like they'd rather he not) than working the bar. When I'm paying for an overpriced beer I don't need attitude and an endlessly long life story on top of it! read more

My favorite movie theater around Boston so far! Very nice area and super comfy seats inside the theater. You can always find parking spots in the assembly square. read more

Terrible place. No parking in the area and they won't even let you use the bathroom unless you have a ticket. Don't waste your time.

Apparently, we couldn't wait in the lobby bar for friends without our tickets. Way to go, now we're standing out front waiting instead of spending extra cash on snacks. Your loss read more

While I did like the ease of an automated ticket kiosk, I almost wish the rest of it was automated. The food was fine, not great not awful but the staff seemed a little less than awesome. I was really frustrated to have the last almost 10 minutes of a movie being disturbed with an employee talking on his phone, on SPEAKER even. Like dude, if you aren't going to be actually working, please consider taking your conversation where you aren't disturbing the customers, it's part of your job! read more
