The last few movies I've seen in theaters have been at this location. I'm not sure if it's the day/time I select to attend, but almost always there's plenty of seating options available with very few crowds. I like that this location is within walking distance to a nearby metro train. There's also restaurants nearby in the adjacent shopping plaza. The sound isn't particularly loud but it could've just been the theater room that I was in. read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

Honestly, the managers seem to really be trying, but unfortunately the community is not respecting this theater at all. Maybe they need to raise the prices or just have stricter policies. We spent over $100 in there today. Walked into the theater hallway to get hit by the smell of urine. Then...went to the seats and bam...the urine smell is still there. So...we asked for a refund in our tickets and food. The managers had good customer service and simply refunded without a question. They just didn't seem to be surprised though. Now, we are at AMC Georgetown because...we never experienced that here. read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Just nasty. I did not take a photo of the bathroom. Oh my goodness. This place is awful. - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

This is the worst movie theater ever. This will be my family last time coming here. They have bad customer service. read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - This movie theater is the worst.They have bad customer service . This will be me and my family last time coming here . - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

Not a bad theater, they could use some upgrading but it's your average AMC theater. Sometimes the theaters aren't so clean but I assume that is due to being understaffed on some days. read more

If ghetto was a movie theatre this is it!! Let's talk about cleanliness ......ummmm it ain't!! It's was not clean and they didn't even have regular movie theatre butter popcorn this the main reason most people go to the movies! The atmosphere was very blah for it to be so big it gave very dry and empty!! I felt like something was crawling on me and it just wasn't given any where I would take anyone on a date! It's a no ever again for Me!!! 1 out of 1 never go again! Don't even recommend! read more

I went to AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 expecting a movie... I got a survival challenge. First of all, the lobby smelled like someone microwaved old hot dogs and regret. The ticket machine blinked at me like it was begging to be put out of its misery. I got to Theater 6 and sat down--well, tried to. The seat was so broken it leaned back like it owed child support. Halfway through the movie, the screen glitched and froze on Michael B Jordan's face for 10 full minutes. No one fixed it. Someone in the audience just narrated the rest like it was a bedtime story. The popcorn? Stale. Like, "left out since Avengers: Endgame" stale. The soda machine gave me something that tasted like a mix of Coke and windshield wiper fluid. And don't even ask about the bathroom. Just... don't. Let's just say I saw things no women should see and left with PTSD and wet shoes. Would I go back? Only if I lose a bet or the zombie apocalypse hits and I need somewhere abandoned to hide. read more

Came earlier in the day to pick up the tickets for an afternoon show. Upon arriving, trash was strewn at the entry point. I mentioned it to the employee issuing tickets. Came back at my stated movie time and the same strewn trash is still there...untouched. I mention it again and get the same empty assurance that someone will take care of it. Post movie (Mind you, at least 5 hours have gone by) and no one has given the cleanliness of the entrance the attention it deserves. If you're greeted by trash at the door, it might be an indication of what's to come. I saw how the concession stand and condiment area were and vowed not to eat anything they had. It just was not clean and I had my doubts about the food handling methods. So watching "Morbius" and knowing it's a Marvel movie anticipating a post credit end scene, we are sitting there and the person who came in to clean turns on the damn lights. I'm just like really? I wasn't the only one perturbed by his false sense of urgency to clean up. Other patrons were miffed about it too. Decided to use the ladies room before departing and wish I had just held it. The bathroom smelled of warm death and needed more attention than the entrance. Decisions, decisions...which do you clean first. I didn't post pictures of the bathroom because some things you can't unsee. There is a deep lack of concern for how this venue is kept. Magic Johnson wanted to have movie theaters in underserved areas to allow an opportunity for everyone to enjoy a trip to the movies. If this is the vision, someone needs glasses. The default seems to blame it on staffing shortages but when you see people lounging instead of working, it just becomes an excuse. Capable of accepting cash or contactless pay that isn't Apple Pay. Samsung pay works but ye of little faith working there want to argue with you about if it'll work. Parking is in an adjacent lot and behind the building. You can select your seats and pay online, but you won't get a military discount. Paying in person, you can do the same but pack your patience as there may be a line and little motivation by the staff. I got my tickets early and he tore them in half and just shrugged when I asked him why he did that. He said just bring both halves with you when you come back. Wow, just wow. Discount prices are offered for matinee showings. Check to see prices and times as it may change. Theatre two was clean and had no issues with seating. I'm extremely doubtful that I'll recommend this theater to others or return. read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Spring clean much? - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

I haven't been here in ages. The staff was in all motion and didn't seem eager to assist in the concession area. When I stepped to the line - there wasn't a line and there were 2 people working the counter - seemingly being busy but doing nothing. One person caught my eye and said "next" - now there's a line forming behind me. I was helped. Nothing great or remarkable about the service. 6$ for a bottle of smart water is kinda insane! Theater 1 was clean. Seats are assigned. That's cool but I didnt remember it being like this years ago. I like that the seats weee assigned. The restroom was clean on the surface BUT smelled awful. The smell was like urine mixed with Lysol then add a hot summer day where air isn't circulating properly. I would suggest getting new mops and using more cleaning products and changing the ventilation system. Sadly, I would not be back to this amc location and I'm really surprised that this location is still open - seeing that many other stores have closed in this "shopping area". read more

Genuinely odd team. Not only disrespected my family but also when buying a kid ticket for my kid they asked for a ID from my kid?

Very poor service by ticket checker. She dismissed my 12 year old childs ticket and would not let me through until I purchased an adult ticket for him despite him being the age for a child ticket. She asked I could show her ID to which I wondered why would my 12 year old need a state ID present on him at all times. I felt very discriminated and had to go through loops to even get offered a refund for the previous purchased ticket and was met with a rude attitude at my request. Would not be coming back, the theater has already been going downhill. read more

Bruuuuh. No words can explain how this experience has been. The movie hasn't even started and I'm already pissed off. 1-The wait for the concessions is entirely too long. Especially when you've been waiting in line for over 30 mins just for them to tell you they don't have ANY hot snacks. So I waited that long just for you to tell me it was for nothing. Then I can only use my stubs if you can scan it. And last but not least, you don't accept Apple Pay. We've been to other AMCs where this was never an issue. Although this location is closest to our home, I don't mind driving 30 mins to go somewhere else. The icing on the cake was the women's restroom smelling like straight urine. There was toilet paper on the floors but none in most of the stalls. We get to our seats and there's trash and popcorn in the chairs and cup holders. NEVER AGAIN read more

I spent $70 taking my 9yr old to see Aqua Man. $27 for a large popcorn and two drinks. The slushee machines were broken. The drink and popcorn stations are not clean at all. The bathrooms are not clean. I like to support businesses in my community, but this is ridiculous. I will take my money elsewhere until they improve this theater. read more

Spacious... what's not to love... I'm glad this theater is here.. I would love if the seats reclined though

Why are you still open for business during a pandemic when your establishment is a petri dish for bacteria and a breeding ground for viral infection?! It is utterly disgusting and grimy! The bathrooms have broken and damaged fixtures, filthy everything, toilets that haven't been flushed, sticky floors, cloudy windows, and just nothing clean -- it also STINKS! And then you have the audacity to serve food??? People deserve better! I am angry that you are allowed to conduct business this way. Your poor employees. Just GROSS!! I'll see if I can go back to get pix read more

First Magic Johnson AMC theater I've been in. Not sure why I thought it be a nice theater. But it was your typical theater. This one was little outdated with the carpet and furniture in the theaters. The sound system today in theater was very laugh. To loud. Clear like AMC picture. Not theater, but nothing to give a high rating for read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Great comedy. - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

Caught a movie here yesterday. The theater was in decent condition. The staff was cool. I'd check it out again.

Ok I hope someone from Corporate or Management sees this. This movie theater is absolutely DISGUSTING. The theaters are filthy, the snack area is empty, no tops for cups, no sugar free drinks in 3 of the 4 dispensers. The staff is kind enough but this place is an absolute mess: Someone needs to take pride in this theater. Maybe I would be willing to come more often with my family. I'm so sad and disappointed I don't know how this place even stays open. Our movie days were a treat, I don't feel special And excited being here. Do better. Fix this place, clean it and fill up supplies. read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS THEATER! As soon as we walk in to check in to our movie, we get ID checked as if we look like we're underaged. It was whatever because me and my wife just wanted to get to our auditorium... We get here and the previews aren't even playing and it's 16 minutes late from when it's supposed to start. If you value your time and money, don't come here.. it has a weird odor and they don't even have reclining seats. read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

The temperature outside is 18 degrees and it feels like it's 29 degrees inside. Went to see Mean Girls and I had to zipper my jacket and put my hood on. Everything else just froze! The theater isn't up to date so the seats are not the comfortable reclining seats that are in the newer theaters. The theater was clean and smelled fine. I would come back but only as a last resort. read more

Came here to see Wakanda. Otherwise you would never catch me at this theater. When I used to live in the neighborhood I was here often. The way that not much has changed at this place is astonishing and sad. The theater was okay. The bathrooms were disgusting and not well kept up. The movie was great tho! read more

I am in no way a movie enthusiast, but when I do go, I have never even thought to visit this theater, due to the negative press it receives. On this specific day, my sister's ministry at church had a private showing of the movie, "Harriet" and had discounted tickets for guest in attendance. My family and I obliged. The AMC movie theater is pretty large in space and has 12 theaters. No real big bells and whistles, because the seats don't recline, but it was clean, had several arcade games near the entrance, the usual concession stand, and very spacious bathrooms. Located in the now defunct Capital Center Boulevard, the movie theater along with a few restaurants, are the only businesses left standing now that the new hospital is being built. I'm truly thankful the church decided to partner up with this theater because we really enjoyed ourselves. The staff was accommodating and friendly and it gave me an opportunity to try it out. Maybe we came on the right day, the right time, or was fortunate to sit with the right group of people, but sometimes you have to try places out on your own to see if you like it. You can never judge a book by its cover and in this case, this book was very good and I wouldn't mind returning to this movie theater in the future. PS looks like the movie theater is sticking around once the revitalization is completed for the hospital and the surrounding area. read more

This is the type of establishment where the experience is so bad that the Yelp page slowly begins to morph into a support group. I want to publicly apologize for previously rating this at 4 stars and leaving it up since 2017. I recently came here to see The Batman with some friends from out of town. I warned them that shenanigans may ensue, but even with my disclaimer, it exceeded their expectations. For starters, the outside of the theater was trashy. Once we were in the movie, we had about 15 minutes of good experience before some teenagers scurried in like roaches. Like clockwork, they began to talk loud, curse, and walk around the theater randomly. Next, someone behind us kept flashing a bright light at the screen. I'm not sure if they were looking for something or being obnoxious. Top it off with someone throwing a food trays and murmurings of an altercation and we've got the grand slam. All of this happened with no more than 10/15 people in the theater. Imagine if it were packed! Have some self respect and take your money to a civilized theater. read more

One thing I despise when entering a movie theater is to walk in and immediately see junk and trash on the floors. Especially when you see staff walking around not doing much of anything..it's just ewwww! I can understand a straw or two.. maybe some popcorn but to see sticky stuff in multiple places that you have to do a bit of a hop skip to avoid it .. YUCK! To add to the misery which is this place, the seats don't actually recline, there's no foot rest (C'mon it's 2019 ) and there isn't ample space between the rows so unfortunately Bob with the huge dome in front of you is now blocking partial view of the screen..not sure if his name was Bob but you get my drift. Staff was blah and unwelcoming. Parking is in the rear..not enough for a theater if you ask me but they are doing construction so that may soon change I'd suggest they lower their prices AND clean and sanitize the place..no really it smells disgusting. This is the first time I think I didn't stop by the concession for at least some popcorn..never again read more

AMC Magic Johnson Capital Center 12 - Cinema Near Me - Largo, Maryland

Took my daughter to see the Barbie movie. I recently moved back to the area so I have not been to this movie theater since the 2000s. When we walked in the whole lobby is outdated and smells stale. The ticket agent was nice. The snack bar was unreasonably overpriced and they are stingy on the popcorn had to ask her to fill it up more. The theater was so outdated like they haven't updated it since it's been built. Just go ahead and shut it down looks like it barely gets business. read more

Now this review has nothing to do with the actual services I received today from the wonderfully accommodating staff members but everything to do with the presentation of this place. I won't lie, I should've known better considering this movie theater was located at the outskirts of a completely dilapidated, vacant and overall depressing looking town-center. But here's the run down: Theater One smelled like somebody elected to urinate on the floor instead of going to the bathroom which is understandable because the rest room had two doors hanging off of their hinges so the theater itself probably did provide more privacy. Initially I thought that the carpet on the stairs leading up to my seat were uniquely designed until I tripped and almost broke my neck. It seems as if every other step the carpet had come unglued and ignored for years. Lastly, the damn misspelled words at the concession stand just annoyed the hell out of me. What the hell is "BBQ SAUSE and RANCH SAUSE?" Don't let me call Magic himself... Use spellcheck or something read more

How yall gon make me sit through 30+ minutes of previews after 9 pm on a weeknight then show the WRONG DAMN MOVIE?! "HOW, SWAY?!" That explains why this theater was all but deserted. You had one job.... read more

My visit to AMC was made worse by the rude manager on duty. Also, the seats and the floors are not clean whatsoever.

If I can give 0 star I would so trash unprofessional staff is unprofessional and I was in the auditorium with no visual no sound for an hour. After the movie started there was no sound no preview Jesus Christ read more

I swear this place is hit or miss, but it's close to home, so I keep torturing myself. -------- Update: I tried to give this theater a decent chance. I've come here about three more times since my initial review, but today is the day I decided I can't return. The seats aren't horrible, but not great. However, the restroom was the deciding factor. Last time I used it, it wasn't the best, but the overall smell of human waste is just disgusting and I can no longer return here. -----------__ I've lived in this area for years and today was my first time visiting this theater. I saw Deadpool 2. I purchased my tickets through the app and the woman at the register printed my tickets since no one was at the stand. I used the restroom while there and it wasn't disgusting, but it wasn't that clean either. Some stalls are pretty dark and it had an overall smell of poop. The theater was clean and the seats were ok. At first the screen seemed jumpy, but that resolved before the movie started. Overall, it is a decent spot would return. read more

I should've probably read the reviews before coming to this place. Bathrooms disgusting, super hot, stinky and just disgusting. Never coming back!! read more

The theatre was clean and bathroom freshly painted. The movie I went to see was Bad Boys: Ride or Die and it was great! I love the fact that you can refill your icee cup and if you're a AMC member you can refill your large bucket of popcorn! read more

A very iconic place in my community. The Husband and I went to see Hobbs and Shaw. The lobby was clean. The concession stand was well stocked and the workers were very nice. No issues there. There were only 3 other people in the theater with us which was great. What was not great was how this dude comes in late and decides to sit directly behind us.....directly. I'm like, whaaaat?! But I digress. The seats were comfortable for me but my Husband is a tall man. It was a tight fit. He was uncomfortable which is the only reason I'm giving 4 stars. read more

Took my grandson to see MIB International for his birthday and purchased my tickets on Atom to avoid lines. Wrong! Arrived to find that the once thriving Capital Center is a ghost town. Which frankly has nothing to do with the theater except for the parking lot being a mess. We go into the theater and there is no ticket taker or kiosk to scan for the tickets we purchased so we need to stand in line to scan with folks that were purchasing tickets, ok, not a huge deal except the 2 people behind the counter were slow as molasses and when you have a 6 year old whose patience is that if a flea, it's an issue. Concession stand help, well, let's just leave it with we didn't have to get our own popcorn. I get it, the area is depressed right now, but your tickets prices don't reflect that, so let's keep the standards high. If not I suggest AMC make this a $5 movie theater, because that is the level we are experiencing right now. read more

My experience with the staff wasn't bad. The theater smell like weed. I mean that area in general so I can't say I should have expected anything better. They do what they can. The movie was good though. read more

Where do I start. It's been here a minute and it's time for renovation. The seats are dirty and don't recline. The bathrooms are nasty. Its smells of urine as soon as you enter. Half of the stalls have wet floors and the others no toilet paper. Come on AMC Magic Johnson, give us a clean, updated, safe movie theater in our black neighborhood. Next time I'll take pictures. I did tell a Mgr on my way out. He looked unconcerned about my comments. read more

I'm guessing the manager Domonique had no clue that Black Panther was coming out this weekend! They only had 2 ppl working the concession stand that had ppl waiting 45 min for snakes. They didn't let anybody in the movie theater till 5 min before the movie started (this was on Sunday the movie came out Thursday night). I saw 2 different ppl go and ask to speak to the manager Domonique and she never came out! Instead she told them to contact corporate.... smh PS Black Panther was great!!!! read more

In major need of a renovation. There's clearly no maintenance of the theaters because It's filthy. It smells bad, the floors are sticky and the seat I bought ahead of time was broken. I'm tempted to get a refund and forget the movie because I feel like I'm going to leave with bed bugs. read more

this is the first time i came here. this is the worst AMC. as a matter of fact, it's the worst theatre ive ever been to. the auditorium stinks and I don't even feel like the ac is on. im sweating. it really ruins the experience. if i could give 0/5 star, i would. im never coming back here. read more

For an industry that is trying to retain and attract customers and barely has customers, it was very surprising that the theater was very dirty. Bathroom was especially dirty... like it hadn't been cleaned in days. It's really disappointing because the area is changing and there isn't much to do there. I would not be surprised if that theater gone in the next year or so...Maybe go to VA or Bowie for a movie. read more
