2026 Review. Tried the bar for the very first time. We looked through the menu and found assorted alcholic beverages. Once we know what we wanted, we walked up to the counter where we were greeted. Ordered a Michelob Ultra and specialized drink called Hail Mary, in reference to the movie with Ryan Gosling. Our drinks were served in a a few minutes. The bartender made it to perfection. Cold and refreshing. I am going to do this more often. The prices are not bad at all. Its like going to a regular bar like hooters. I always assumed the prices were going to be outrages like Disneyland. I was wrong all this time. Affordable drinks and they were delicous. Definitely come back. read more

This might be my favorite theater in Long Beach! I've had average experiences at Cinemark at the Pike and Regal Edwards at Towne Center, but I like that AMC 12 is somewhat tucked away in the plaza and finding parking was easy on the weeknights when I went to see the 25th anniversary showings of Lord of the Rings. Since I'd pre-bought my tickets on Fandango, all I had to do was check which auditorium I was in, have the QR code scanned, and take my seat. The associates were friendly and made finding my way easy. I've only been in auditoriums 5 and 6, and both are very spacious - even fully reclined, there's at least 2 feet in front, making it easy for others to navigate to their seats. Something interesting about the layout is that instead of an incline like many places, i.e. going up as you head to the back of the theater, these are mostly level. The handicap seats are actually in the rear instead of the front. Surround sound is excellent and truly made the viewings feel immersive. If I had to nitpick, the first showing I attended I could briefly hear the vacuum next door. They also seem to keep the temperature moderately warm, which I actually don't mind since I get cold easily, but dress accordingly if you run hot! Ladies' restroom is to the left and men's restrooms are to the right for auditoriums 5 and 6. read more

I want to give a shout out to this place! Yes, I have an AMC pass and can see 4 movies a week for less than $30 a month. YES, you could stay home and stream new movies for less but on a big screen AND NOT be distracted is WONDERFUL. The staff is friendly, the bathrooms clean, popcorn smells awesome (my dental work won't allow me to nibble it) and ample parking. This would be a great holiday gift! read more

Great well ventilated theater- cozy seats with full recliner & cup holders . Plenty of space, you are free to kick back and enjoy the flick . We saw Wicked in 3D and i was pleasantly surprised....

I had an amazing experience in amc due to the outstanding customer service from the manager Jose my partner and I bought the tickets for the wrong day and he without question or difficulty reinstated our tickets that same night thank you Jose! read more

I came a few weeks ago, and it was a mediocre experience. My friend wanted to order drinks, and we were told that the bartender was on the opposite part of the theater across the way. Really strange configuration. We were told it would be a 5 minute wait and we ended up waiting 10-15 minutes. The theater itself was fine. It was clean, and the seats reclined, which is all I really cared about. This is definitely not my preferred location, but I would go on a whim if I'm in the area, and if the stars align. read more

Just saw "Marty Supreme" at this theater. It's probably a good film. I say "probably," because my ears still hurt from the unbearable volume hours later. My companion and I missed vital elements of the plot, because the volume made the fast-paced and overlapping dialogue impossible to follow at least half the time. Like a fool I went to see the manager after to tell him of our experience. He said that some people like their movies louder than others. My takeaway was that we had been told to pound sand. If I were a theater manager, I would at least have offered a pair of fee passes to another matinee, when the theater was almost empty, as it was at this performance. I wasn't looking for compensation, and would probably never have used them. But I would have felt heard, and that AMC acknowledges some responsibility for the quality of its patrons' experience. As it is I'll never go back. And movie theaters complain that people prefer to watch at home. . . read more

This is a good move theater for mainstream movies. It's in an odd location, not bad, just odd. It's kind of underground. The theater is split into two parts, each with six theaters of varied sizes. The seats are upgraded lounge type seats. I've been coming here for almost 20 years, and i've seen the transition. The sound is good, as is the picture. AMC doesn't have small popcorn anymore, which is a drag. I go to the movies alone a lot. My wife doesn't have the same movie passion I do. The bigger sizes are way too much. This is a post-covid thing and, i'm sure, meant to increase profits. My most recent visit I made the mistake of ordering the Bavarian pretzel. If 2 or 3 people are sharing it, fine. But it's ridiculously big. It's the size of a pizza. Don't get it if you're on your own, I barely dented it and put it on the ground. What a waste. Having that huge box handed to me in my seat was an unpleasant shock. The theater otherwise is nice. I'll still come here. But i won't get popcorn ever again and I won't ever get that insane pretzel. read more

Really solid AMC with some indie theater flare... The AMC Marina Pacifica 12 of Long Beach, California is definitely one of a kind with two seperate buildings divided into two 6 house theaters with 1 thru 6 to the left of the front entrance where the outdoor box office is for purchase of physical tickets, showtimes and movie posters lined around this cylinder mini dome on the lower half of the Marina Pacifica Shopping Center. As well as fun staircases on each side that lead to the parking lot behind it. Naturally these means theaters 7 thru 12 are on the right side. I've never seen a split house theater setup like this, but have been to smaller AMC locations with 5, 6, or 7 screens that had this more intimate neighborhood theater vibe. They have concessions and restrooms on each side as well as their signature MacGuffin Bar with the only downside being that you have to cross through all of this to get to your theaters and or use the facilities. Saw Barbie for a second time with an amazing date in the perfect seats in theater six. Being over six feet tall when I reclined my foot was fully on the seats in front of me as soon as they reclined lol I just propped myself up more... no big deal at all! Everything was really nice including the sound, lights, temperature, layout and the floors. Definitely will be back again soon most likely with the same date. Way to go Marina Pacific! read more

My cousins and I chose this theater because it is located centrally to all of us. We decided to watch Joyride here with our respective husbands so we purchased our tickets in advance. My DH and I had discounted Atom tickets from T-Mobile (thanks T-Mobile) so we were able to reserve ours in advance easily. The theater is located near the Eat Fantastic Café, Starbucks, and Buffalo Wild Wings on PCH in Long Beach. Parking is easily found in the shared lot. My husband and I arrived early so we circled a bit to find appropriate parking that was close to the theater but wasn't restricted to time. The theater has been here for years but had been updated for reserved seating. All of the seats recline but there are no seat warmers. To be honest, I enjoy AMC theaters but the nearest one to me is still two cities over, so I frequent the Regal Cinemas more often. The lobby is small and there is a concessions counter. We opted not to get any concessions as we ate at the Eat Fantastic Café next door prior to the start of the movie and went to dinner nearby afterwards. Joyride was hilarious and raunchy. The 4 female Asian leads are fantastic. The movie was executively produced by Seth Rogan, so if you like his brand of comedy, you'll enjoy this movie. All in all, this theater is clean and the seats are comfortable. read more

So, this is usually my go to theater because my wife and I love the location and the fact that it's mainly adults. However, we recently had a horrible experience while watching "Together". There was a group of ppl that felt the need to give their own commentary. They were incredibly obnoxious, and ruined several scenes of the movie. We almost walked out because of their outbursts and lack of self control. If you come here beware, idiots apparently found this place. read more

Definitely a smaller theatre than your typical massive AMC.. but in a plaza with plenty of parking. This AMC location feels more old school, the theatre sizes are much smaller and the concessions match the small ratio. However, it feels more intimate & I like how quiet and calm it is. Definitely a more chill vibe here than your typical city AMC. All the staff have been really helpful and kind - good vibes all around. read more

karoline from the concession stand was very polite and attentive. the bathrooms were well stocked and clean

I like this small theater. It's in a nice location by the marina. Walk behind Barnes & Noble to enjoy the calm of the water and chat about the movie you just watched with a friend. Anyway...the service is good. The kids who work there are polite. The bathrooms are always clean. No complaints about the seating...there's never any trash leftover in the theaters. As far as concessions, I usually just get popcorn and vegan Impossible 'chicken' nuggets. #vegansnacks There's not much else for vegans to eat there. Maybe some of the candy snacks they have there...I don't know check the AMC website for more info. Also I'm a Stubs Insider member and AMC stock shareholder. CEO Adam Aron answers to me! $AMC GET MORE VEGAN ITEMS AA! read more

First time at this theater. I went to see The Woman King. This theater is located in the Marina Pacifica plaza on a lower level. You have to take the elevator or stairs to go down. The interior is updated and has reclining seats. Will definitely go back to this location. They have ample parking available as well as a few restaurants in close proximity. read more

Place and cinema quality is amazing, realistically I would rate this a 5 stars and the experience itself would've been a solid 5 stars. The ONLY reason i'm giving it a 1 star is because of Jose. He was being EXTREMELY unreasonable while me and my buddies were trying to watch the new Fantastic 4 movie. He was being very sassy, rude, and unprofessional. He even made one of my friends pay for another ticket even though he already had paid for one and had the receipt. He was overall very unpleasant to be around. I pray that someone does something about it. read more

The volume for the films is way too loud. We wear earplugs, and it's still loud. Why??? Everything else at this theater is very good: ordering tickets, the check-in, the staff, clean restrooms, concessions' service, etc. I became a Stubs member, but after seeing four films that were all too loud, my husband and I don't want to return. We'll try another theater. Manager, please respond read more

One of my LB go to theaters. Great loyalty program. I get to take a friend for "free".

This is my go to theater ! I've been coming here for couple of years now. Each experience here is great no matter what time you come. Super clean and nice staff. Shoutout to Tatiana( i think that's her name) had an uplifting attitude and made me experience even better at the register. read more

This is my go-to theater, and not just due to location (close to my home and near multiple dinner options). It's within the Marina Pacifica Plaza (across from 2nd & PCH) on the left-hand side, and there's lots of free parking available. You can get tickets online, which is convenient since it gives you first choice at available seats. Or, you can get them the more traditional way at the ticket counter on your way into the theater. The theaters are on the smaller size, though that means that there's very few areas with a terrible view. All seats recline, which is comfortable. I've seen 3D and traditional films here, each with great screen and sound quality. No commentary on snacks, it's the standard popcorn / candy situation, though they do have a decently large assortment of beer / wine / liquor. I haven't had a bad experience yet, and will continue coming since it's so convenient and consistent. read more

This is probably the theater I've visited the most in the area and by now I think I've been in every theater, from the normal sized ones to the tiny ones. This AMC is a bit unique in their seating arrangements. Some of the theaters are incredibly small, like a dozen seats. Others have seats oddly spread out, like a lone seat or pair of seats in the top corner. This doesn't really impact a viewer's ability to see the movie, just an interesting note. Pros- -Reclining seats in every theater -Smaller and less popular titles shown here (compared to some of the larger theaters) -Normal AMC upgrades like better food and drink choices including a bar -Lots of parking Cons- -Smaller theatre means less showtimes and seats so try to book early -No seat heaters (compared to some other AMC locations) Tip: park near Pier 1 for easiest options read more

This theater is a hidden gem. I'm an A-List member and this by far is my absolute FAVORITE AMC! I live in the Pasadena area and whenever I have an excuse to come down here, I make sure to drop by. Really quiet theater. Super clean and the workers are always nice. My popcorn is always fresh, and the seats inside are clean, up to date and the sound quality great. I also love the location, as there's a Barnes and Noble next door, so it's a win win for me! read more

I have been going to this theater since I was a kid and it a very nice place to see movies. I commend AMC trying to keep up with the times. However, with trying to keep up with ordering food mobile, or making pizzas and mozzarella sticks, something is lagging. There was a woman in line who ordered through the app who was a little bothered she had to wait longer than people who walked up. While I was waiting for the impossible nuggets which I won't order again, it was difficult to wait because you are either standing in front of a restroom or the popcorn area where people can put butter. The reason why I won't order the nuggets is for two reasons. First, for having waited as long as I did, they should have been more fresh but tasted like they had been sitting around d for a while. Second, I saw the girl working there sling them on the grill and then said "nuggets." Again, for just having been baked and sitting on the grill for the time they did until I got them, they should have tasted better. The first time I got them I really liked them. Overall a good theater though. read more
