Hey friends! I've been to the mall a thousand times but this was my first time visiting this AMC. I enjoyed my visit. The seats recline back pretty far, it's easy to get cozy in them. I sat in row C which was perfect visibility for me. The theater was clean. Customer service was friendly. I didn't get any snacks this time surprisingly LOL. Restrooms needed some TLC. I definitely would return for more movies here! read more

Wicked for Good was amazing! AMC Montgomery has big screens and Dolby surround sound. That was so important with the music and the sound effects in this movie. I love how you can reserve your seats online. We chose the theater with the comfortable reclining chairs. I was hoping that we didn't have to suffer through the 30 minutes of advertising and coming attractions, but that is still part of the process. They changed the way you order drinks and popcorn. You have to order at a kiosk and then take your receipt over to the counter. We ordered a large popcorn, 3 drinks, and some candy. The price was high, about $50 for the concession stand. But, they did have cool Wicked drinks and I got the Galinda drink combination and it was delicious. We really enjoyed the movie, although there were a few tears shed. If you are a Wicked fan, then, I would recommend seeing the movie at AMC Montgomery 16. It worked out splendioshly (as we say in Oz). read more

AMC Montgomery 16 - Comfy seats - Cinema Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

This was my first time at a newer AMC theater and I was pleasantly surprised by the comfortable setting they created for their viewers. The seats are far enough apart for a degree of privacy in your own viewership, they recline a lot, and having cooling and heating functionality built in. The sound quality was great and I was fortunate enough to have the theater mostly to myself for the showing of 100 Nights of Hero. There were some technical issues at the start, our showing was scheduled for 1:30 and previews didn't start until much closer to 2 but the staff was able to resolve things without us missing any of the film itself. read more

AMC Montgomery 16 - Theater 14 - Cinema Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

I've been to this theater several times over the years and it looks like they've renovated the entire place fairly recently. Smell of new paint was in the air, makeshift theater number signs were posted on walls, and brand new huge leather recliners with heatable seats for customer comfort! The theater we were in (no. 8) had only about 8 rows but was still spacious, super clean, and comfortable. read more

First time here. Watched good fortune in theater 11 in the back row seats G7 & G6. Mid film I hear mice squeaking behind our seats munching on food. Gross. read more

I like this theater better than the RIO..too bad there are not in walking distance of me. If you park by the food ct entrance, you can take the escalator straight up to the theater. I have the A list membership, it pays itself in 2 visit. You pay monthly. I saw The Fire within. Great movie. The Prime theaters have better seats. Idk they have heated seats!! Rio why don't you have this??? The concession stand employees are nice and always have everything in stock. Unlike other places... Only thing that gets on my nerves is 20 minutes of Movie previews!! Im kinda annoyed seeing Nicole Kidman....each time at the end of the last preview before the movie starts...however... I'll frequent this location more! read more

Came recently to watch a showing of Superman and was placed in theater 11. The seats all recline which is nice. At this theatre, you can buy your snacks and beverages before the ticket check so it's super easy to hop in line while waiting for people. At spots like Tysons Corner, it can be less convenient when waiting to enter together if you also want to buy snacks. The seats in the theater were a little creaky, which meant that the small children next to us who kept playing with their seat were fairly disruptive. There was also some popcorn on my seat before I sat down. All in all though, I frequent this movie theater fairly often and rarely do these issues present themselves. read more

This location is such a nice location because parking is easy at the Montgomery Mall. In addition, the entrance is so close from parking to get to the theater, you do not need to be bothered by the stores in the mall. However, some might not like the location because it's with the mall, but I think it's a co-benefit. I also am excited that it's right by the food court, because, while I like popcorn, this AMC does not have dine-in food options. So, that problem is solved with dozens of options right nearby. In my book, that makes this movie theater location a winner. The service is great if you have incredible patience, plan ahead and are in no rush. Thankfully, you buy your tickets early and reserve seats, so you no where to go after you get through concessions. The folks working concessions seemed a little confused and a lot of lackadaisical laissez-faire demeanor.... so, that's something to contend with. I think that's the main gripe with folks attending this theater, which is a valid complaint! But, if you plan accordingly, it doesn't really hamper the experience, it's just kind of funny. I always think: do I want to do that job, what must that feel like? Then, I magically find more patience when it wasn't maybe in abundance before. The theater itself is lovely. The entrance has a lovely wall of movie posters, mini-sized in quilt-like pattern, to greet you. It's nice. The entrance area is pretty expansive for the space, but, if it were super busy, it might not feel as expansive. The individual theaters are fantastic with plenty of room for each seat that reclines and heats up if you're cold. The restrooms are lovely, spacious and clean. The theater space was clean. The popcorn was fresh. The prices were as expected. The staff was doing their thing, whatever that was. So, all in all, I'm not disappointed because I didn't hope to get super fast or fast service - when only 2 people are at concessions, it's a combination of factors making the line go slow. Will I be back? Yes. I really appreciate the location! read more

It's a pretty typical mall movie theater, but it's the closest one to my house and the theaters and seats have been recently renovated, so the theaters are nice quality (screen and otherwise) with seats that recline, heat and cool themselves. They also have some cool niche showings that I think most theaters have, but make me happy like the Studio Ghibli films recently and the Daft Punk re-release of Interstella 5555. Beyond that, there's a bar which has a decent, but not great beer selection, but there never seems to be anyone staffing it when I'm there which makes it less ideal. read more

Bob Marley Night at Movie --AMC Edition There's another brand of theater, I sometimes prefer but all the tickets were sold out for the Bob Marley movie opening night. AMC came through with available tickets and a better price ticket. Plus, did you know for Black History they have certain movies for just $5, until March 2? AMC will let you pre-purchase your tickets and preorder your snacks before your arrival. Everything is so convenient. Plus, they have the magical Icee Machines, for that delicious coolness. If you are going for a night at the movie theater with family, this is a really good venue, should you have to purchase multiple tickets. **Spoilers: Read No Further, I'll now review the Bob Marley Movie (Feb 2024). *** If you see the Bob Marley Movie, ask for the free movie poster. The night we went, it felt like they were hoarding the posters, as they are limited edition. The movie gives glimpses of Bob's childhood, as a beautiful little boy being raised by his mom and abandoned by his Caucasian father. We see how Bob was raised in humble conditions but eventually moved and impacted the entire world. He was to become the Biggest Star from Jamaica. We also see scenes from when a young teenage Bob, finding his way and sound in the early days. The movie primarily focuses on the last 5ish years of Mr. Marley's life. His creative process, his passions, religion, his family and his inspiration. It also speaks to his raising fame, the turmoil within his country, community, band and family. It was an excellent movie, that hitting you in the heart, when dealing with the trials and tribulations of Bob's life. I highly recommend this movie. read more

My favorite movie theater. Heated seats and clean environment. I have the amc pass and out of all the theaters in the area this one is the best read more

I can't believe this is the first time I've been to this theatre. The AMC at Rio is closer so I go there 2-4 times a week. AMC at Montgomery Mall is 1000% cleaner and even tho Rio was renovated it's nothing compared to AMC Montgomery which has more comfortable and heated/cooled seats, new floors and carpet, new clean bathrooms, excellent lighting in the theatre before and after movies so you don't face plant trying to get to your seat!!!! It's a bit further from home but I will def spend way more time at AMC Montgomery going forward. read more

Friday February 27th went to AMC Montgomery 16 for a double feature. I go here every Friday. I am A Stubs member but after this I may unfortunately will have to unsubscribe and not go to the theaters again. While waiting in Theater 13 for the movie to start I saw a mouse climbing the stairs! I was in shock! In all my years going here I have never seen a mouse! As it ran up to the row behind me I looked to see where it was headed and noticed that under all of the seats was a mountain of popcorn. So I am not surprised seeing that mouse. Then I went to another movie after and saw a mouse running under the trash can. Sadly I don't think that I will be going to this theater anymore or any theater. It's so unfortunate because I love going to the movies. I spoke to the manager and they just kind of brushed it off. Don't go to this theater unless you don't mind mice running all over the place. read more

I'm super excited to say this movie theater has a full bar!! Located at the top of Montgomery mall it's pretty big and the chairs are comfy. They don't recline but they are plush and spacious. They have a decent food menu with the usuals like popcorn, nachos, and candy. But you can also get chicken tenders and pizza here. Large selection of Coke products and lots of butter for your popcorn. They also have slushes. We caught a matinee so the prices were reasonable and no one was in there theater. They have plenty of times for most movies so you can see all the new stuff anytime of the day. The bathrooms are clean and the staff were pretty friendly. Parking kinda sucks because it's at the mall but that's inevitable. read more

This is the movie theater inside Montgomery mall. It was clean and the recliners are super comfy! Bought our tickets ahead of time. We got in fairly quickly and out the same. No complaints! read more

We visited this location a few months ago and then yesterday. I knew they were doing rennovations which honestly is a big plus! The ease of buying tickets (through fandango) was easy and the check in was smooth. We stopped passed the concession stand and picked up a sprite. The machine is self serve and has what seems like 100s of flavors. My husband got peach sprite which was yummy. I like that this movie theater is tight above the food court in Montgomery mall which make it convenient for a bite vegorw your show. The sound was great and the new laser view was crystal clear. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves yesterday. They do have food options there but honestly it prob would be cheaper to get food beforehand. We will def be back. read more

I've been here several times before. However, I think they may have updated some of their theaters this location. Theater 2 was top tier! The seats are extremely comfortable. They recline, which i know most good movie theaters do. But these seats have temperature controls built in too! Being that it's winter, the seat warmer was clutch!! The sound quality was much better too. It was loud, but clear. A lot of other places are loud, but the sound is muddy. This sound was crystal clear. I also think the screen was clearer than some of their competitors in nearby Rio and/or Rockville. They even have a bar in the concession area which was a nice option since it was date night. Overall, I like this location more than other nearby places. I'll definitely be back! read more

What an improvement the last six months have been at AMC Montgomery! I'm an AMC A-list member and came here regularly, but the recent renovation to replace all the chairs to HEATED recliners has been a game changer! A new concession area, Coca-Cola freestyles, and fresh carpet is also great. There are huge bathrooms and I've never had to wait. It's also a great location right above the mall eatery for grabbing a bite before or after your movie. read more

Theater seating is great. Very comfortable. The sound is good. Good viewing experience Concessions are lackluster. The pretzel bites are awful complete trash. Don't order read more

Geez what a rough start to our "private screening." Spoiler alert, it didn't happen. Too bad on-site management wasn't up to the customer service task of making it right for the customer. Our amazing group leader put this event together weeks in advance. The management emailed her HOURS prior to the event saying the theater was having AV issues and would not be able to accommodate our private screening. WORSE than any of the poor equipment and inept communication issues, the woman interacting with our organizer lied and assaulted her character. Completely unacceptable. read more

Worst movie theater! No popcorn, already paid for it. Can't get refund unless I wait for ten minutes. 11$!

AMC is my local theater and on a whim, I decided to splurge and get a Big Pretzel for the show. This is a huge, doughy, chewy pretzel that's actually shaped like a pretzel (not those godforsaken pretzel "bites" that are all over the place now). With a little ramekin of sweet/spicy mustard (AMC corporate management take note: true pretzels come with YELLOW mustard), I settled in to watch Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The pretzel was big enough that with each bite, I could ponder important life questions, like "In what world would there be gravity coming from the sky *and* the ground?" and "Why would these huge monsters tolerate us puny humans poking around in their world?" and most importantly, "Why was there no antenna atop the Empire State Building in the final scene of King Kong the Musical on Broadway?!?!" We all know the antenna is what makes the Empire State Building. And with that, I found myself on my last bite of pretzel, watching Godzilla and Kong save the world and make peace with themselves (no kiss at the end?). There are bad movie theater pretzels and even worse movie theater pretzels (don't get me started on pretzel "bites"). But this gigantic pretzel was worth it. read more

AMC Montgomery 16 - The Big Pretzel - Cinema Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Staff were rude, the line system made no sense, it was a free for all to get attention. I placed my order ahead of time and when I finally got someone who knew what he was doing he was not only rude but he said they hadn't gotten my order yet. What is the point in ordering ahead of it's not ready when you arrive? I don't mind waiting an extra minute but nobody appeared able/willing to answer my questions about my order. Felt like they were trying to put me in my place. I have been a customer at AMC theaters since I was little and never seen this kind of unprofessionalism. I understand most of the employees are college of highschool kids here just for a paycheck but come on. It wasn't until I asked about getting a refund I got any attention. On top of that the only adult employee was quick to say they can't give me a refund. I had to threaten to call my bank to cancel the payment for them to make my popcorn. read more

AMC A-List member reviewing various AMCs throughout the country. This is my second most visited theater currently. Seats: Not reclining. No USB. Not heated. This used to be a different brand so the seats are not standard AMC seats (at least in the theaters I've been in). Screens: Small but decent. Macguffins: Yes. Haven't gotten to try it yet but the set-up is cute and my friend says it's good. Snacks: Mid. The AMC Pizza here is not good (usually my fav snack). Tried pretzel bites and had to throw them out. Nice staff though. Bathrooms: Clean. Nicole Kidman AMC ad: yes! Crowd: It's a mall but I have yet to encounter rowdy teens. Parking: Plentiful but confusing. Overall: my favorite thing about this theater is the massive wall of posters for terrible movies you're greeted with upon entry. They change them pretty frequently, and 95% of the films featured are bad. I love it. This is a quiet theater (at least on weekdays when I usually go) and has an interesting set-up as it used to be a different chain that I think was owned by Scientologists? Employees are very nice. Overall: 4/5 plz make better pizza read more

Came to see the conjuring tonight they again don't have any food I came to see a 10:00 feature but they have movies that don't start till 10:45 so how do you just stop serving food whenever you feel like it poor management and ever poorer staffing with attitudes dirty theatres and no common sense. Save your time read more

Great movie theater, but a little confusing to find unless you're familiar with the mall. It's located up two levels, above the food court inside of the mall. Tickets are purchased at a self-service kiosk, but a worker stands nearby to help if assistance is needed. The floors and countertops were clean. The seats were pretty comfortable too, being a little wider and roomier than other theaters I've been to. Sign up to be a member on the AMC app (it's free), and you can get $5 tickets all day Tuesday! I think you also get free refills on large popcorn with the free membership. read more

Probably the most immaculately clean AMC I've ever been to, theatre was flawless and in great condition, bathrooms spotless, however service was just terrible and I won't be returning. Sat at the bar for fifteen minutes before the one employee who was likely old enough to serve alcohol came to assist. There was no line at concessions at any point during that time. I went and saw a R Rated horror film and my theatre quickly filled up with preteens who spent the entire time talking, on their bright phones, and walking around shoeless. They did NOT have a guardian in the theatre so I assume they simply weren't ID'd. Seat reservations didn't matter as they just sat wherever and got into arguments with others who had reserved the seats they claimed. No walkthroughs by theatre staff occurred. I could forgive all of this if I didn't pay like $50 for a ticket, medium popcorn, and a medium soda. If you're going to charge premium experience prices, you have to PROVIDE A PREMIUM EXPERIENCE. read more

Went to the movies this evening and hadn't been in a long, long while. Everything in this theater was great except the popcorn that was just popped was stale and SUPER SALTY! Bathroom needed sweeping; paper towels everywhere. read more

Theatre was clean and staff was helpful but tried calling the number at least 10 times because I lost my airpods and no one picked up.

A hole. Bar closed ("no barstaff"), snack bar closed except for popcorn and one surly staffer, make it very clear they couldn't care less, still you get t to pay full price. Go anywhere else. Or stay home and watch Netflix. Waste of time, gas and money. read more

Brutal experience at AMC today. Went to an early show (10am) knowing that we needed to get out for a second feature at 12:15. By 10:10, show hadn't started so went to the front lobby to see what was up. Indeed, the movie wasn't starting and they had no idea if / when it would. This is evidently a recurring problem for them as the staff told us they "just skip the previews when this happens. In addition they told us after cutting previews the movie previews it would "start on time." They told us this potentially useful info AFTER we explained the timing issues that required a refund and after spending 5 minutes trying to process the refund. That info was soon corrected when they conferred and conceded that they still had no idea what was wrong and everybody was likely to need a refund. Well, at least we got our refund . . . but we didn't. AMC keeps the ~ $5 "convenience fee." Your never getting that money back from AMC. It's sad that AMC moved into what was (and to an extent still is) a nice space formerly run by ArcLight, which had much better service and a far better quality experience overall. read more

They played about 30 minutes of reviews. These reviews of other moves and of their own theater were extremely loud and intrusive. I was about to leave the theater. They sound effects were even louder, they hit you. You can't talk over these. Finally our movie started, but at this rate, I would prefer seeing a movie at home where I can FF through all the irrelevant reviews. read more

This place is a very standard movie theater - most of which are very underwhelming these days. It's located in the Westfield mall, which is pretty convenient, and my friends and I come here often for $5 movie Tuesdays with AMC. For a while, we also had a coupon for $5 popcorn and drink, which was pretty reasonable, but now that it's expired, food there is super expensive. For example, a single ICEE drink costs $7! And don't get me started on the popcorn. The theaters are pretty small, which isn't usually an issue since they're mostly deserted, and the chairs are covered with old, cloth upholstery. However, it's generally pretty clean, which I appreciate. Like I said, the only reason I keep coming back is the $5 movies - but honestly, with so few movies worth seeing these days, I might recommend to save your money altogether. read more

Great location, but chaotic parking lot. This AMC movie theater is inside the Westfield mall, above the food court. I like that the tickets are self-service. The drinks and snacks are pretty typical in terms of quality and price. The seats are comfy but not the "lean back" style some places have adopted. I went on a Sunday afternoon for the new marvel movie, and didn't have a hard time getting tickets. I will say, even for an afternoon matinee, it was pretty expensive but hey that's a movie theater for ya. read more

Firstly, I got overcharged for my ticket. I'm 66, wasn't offered a senior ticket. I've never paid $16+! New employees, whatever,...I let it go. On to the Ladies room, my stall out of TP. The entire place was so cold it felt like a meat locker. I asked why and the employee said they didn't know how to adjust it? Wow,get it together AMC !! I realize you just reopened a theater owned by Arc Light, but...unacceptable. On the plus side it was not too busy and the untrained employees were pleasant. read more

I wont go back to this theater again. Non-stop commercials, mostly for their own company, before the movie. At the movie start time, they switched to a combo of previews and commercials for the next 25 minutes. The movie began 25 minutes after the scheduled show time! I'm going back to streaming,, or may try Regal next time. read more
