I'm a regular at my local Starlight Cinema thanks to their $6 days, but my fiancée and I had a gift card from Christmastime so AMC was our Valentine's Day choice. Prices were rough, even with a gift card, but where isn't that the case these days. The guy at the concession stand was really nice, all smiles and friendly. I don't know how they stand it back there in the heat, I'd be grumpy as hell. So shout out to him. The theater quality was the thing though: I feel like it's the exact same theater from 15-20 years ago. Same screen, same uncomfortable seats, same everything. It feels like all this particular AMC's profits go to the lobby and the specialized theaters like the IMAX and the Dolby Digital or laser whatever. The plain Jane theaters don't seem to have gotten any love in many a year. So it wasn't the most comfortable or impressive experience despite the price. I'll stick to Starlight. read more

Had to go here because this was the closest theatre showing the movie we wanted to watch. The place is dirty and unkempt. Seats are torn and uncomfortable. Wouldn't go here again. read more

I come here often enough that I recognize some of the staff now lol. I really appreciate how friendly everyone is--sometimes I'm grumpy or just sad, but seeing them smile when I'm checking into my movie genuinely cheers me up. Little things like that make the theater experience better. Their Dolby and IMAX theaters are well-maintained; you can really see the difference in film quality and colors. One thing that's out of the staff's control is that it'd be nice if all the auditoriums had reclining chairs and more modern decor. But overall, they have an amazing film selection. I also like that I feel safe here, and it's pretty clean overall. They do get slammed sometimes (like any theater), but I think it's because they're understaffed and they have 30 auditoriums--that's a lot! Some recent movies I've seen here: Chicken Run (25th Anniversary), Predator: Badlands, and Wicked 2. - Chicken Run was shown in one of their smaller theaters, but the picture quality was A1. - Predator: Badlands in Dolby was my first AMC fan event! I even got a dope keychain with my ticket. - Wicked 2 in IMAX had amazing visuals. I did have an issue sitting next to a rude person, but the manager took care of it--thank you!

This is the biggest AMC theater I've been to so far that has 30 movie auditoriums and it's located inside Orange Outlet with some good restaurants & shopping stores! Staffs are very friendly and theater is very clean & neat but they definitely need to UPGRADE their seats in the auditoriums and no recliner seatings even in the IMAX room! read more

Came back to AMC for the first time in years! This theater used to be the theater I would come to a lot in my twenties. Brought my three children to watch the new Mario movie. Had gotten some amc black tickets but because seats are now reserved we arrived early to the theater. Paid $24 additional dollars at the window defeats the purpose of the black tickets. Anyway service was good. Got in line to purchase snacks: popcorn, nachos, and a soda. Movie experience took place in one of the four main theater rooms, was mostly full, and was good because it was not ruined by people talking. read more

4++ Large AMC located within The Outlets at Orange shopping mall. The concessions and folks working here seem pretty standard (a good thing!). The positives (for me): - 30 screens so you have a lot of showtimes and they probably have a few screenings of international and independent movies that are a little tougher to find. - thy have a large IMAX screen and theater with cushy seating. I came here specifically to watch Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning on an IMAX screen and thought it was such a treat since that movie was specifically shot for a theater/screen like this one. The negative: which isn't their fault really. Since it's in an Outlet Mall that's wildly popular, the logistics of getting here, parking, and walking over to the theater can be a little anxiety provoking. Some people might like going to crowded places, but sometimes I prefer being able to just drive up, find parking close by, and being able to get to the theater without weaving through large crowds and foot traffic. Overall, quality theater and great offerings due to its size. read more

It's been awhile since I was back watching movies at a theater - but I recently signed up for the AMC A-List membership subscription, and of the ones listed closest to me - AMC Orange 30 was convenient based on proximity to work and home. The plan gives you access to 4 movies each week - which is much more than I've seen, even in my busiest year of movies. I watched two movies on Saturday - HTTYD, and Lilo & Stitch - both movies where I've seen and are fond of the original versions. Live-action Lilo & Stitch remake wasn't as great - but HTTYD was awesome. I think it's party because of the visual and audio quality of the films. Both were seen in the "Laser at AMC" format - although they weren't clear whether 3D glasses were necessary or not. The visuals were spot on - sharp, vibrant, clear. Audio quality was amazing. When the score to HTTYD started playing - I was whisked away back down memory lane - realizing that I never did see the original films in the theater. Concessions were pricey as expected - but in AMC's defense, I think that's where most of their profits come from. The line was a bit long - even though I waited in the A-list line, I was practically ignored for like ten minutes before I walked away to find my seat. Oh another thing - you get reserved seating now - which is a huge plus from before, where you had to show up early to claim a good spot. The reservation system allows you to take your time to get to your seat - even forgoing the 30 minutes of commercials/trailers before your movie actually starts. The seats for both movies were comfortable - and had a high back - unlike other theaters I've been to. Temperature was a little warmer than I'd like though. Minus a star for the less-than-decent concessions experience - it was a slow/quiet day too - not sure why I was overlooked. Maybe they should rope off the line if their workers are going to ignore people waiting in it. Parking is easy - I parked in the back of the mall, closer to where the theater is. Will most likely be back sometime soon to check out the "Real 3D/3D-enabled" HTTYD. read more

We haven't been to this AMC since probably before the COVID pandemic, as nothing appears in my order history back through 2023. Walking in, the place looks EXACTLY like it did before. I wasn't expecting a major remodel, but I was hoping for something new besides the higher prices. I wanted to see Superman, and while we prefer the Dolby Theater, the times didn't match our schedule, so we opted for the AMC XL theater instead. The description implied a larger screen, but the screen we saw didn't seem any bigger. The seats were the regular seats in the basic theaters, and the sound was basic. Now, that's still not a bad experience, but just disappointing. What XL does claim is a 4K picture created by projecting lasers onto the screen. Although the image was quite crisp, it didn't enhance my enjoyment of the movie, and there really wasn't much difference from what you see in the Dolby Theater. In a nutshell, don't pay anything extra for XL if you don't have to. Otherwise, everything was just as I remembered. The bathrooms were clean, the employees we encountered were nice enough, and since we had eaten beforehand, which means we didn't purchase anything from the concession stand. So, really, no complaints, just disappointed in AMC XL. read more

Came here for the first time last week, which was a huge surprise to me, since I thought I had been to all the AMCs in SoCal! Parking was super easy in their giant lot, but it was a little confusing as to where the entrance was to the AMC. I walked through the mall and was able to find it. The AMC was bigger than I imagined but the theater numbers were all well marked. The theater itself was clean and well maintained and the smell of fresh popcorn lingered throughout. There are a large variety of formats here including IMAX and Dolby. The theater staff were also friendly and helpful. The seats could have been more plushy and comfortable and could offer more support, which is necessary for a longer film. I would definitely return to this theater, but probably only for the premium formats, as I imagine those seats are more comfortable. Regardless, the sound and picture quality was still very good. read more

What to Get/Do: IMAX, Dolby Cinema, XL, RealD 3D, and Standard showings are available options depending on the film you see Customer Service: Exceptional service, expectations exceeded. Bar service and concession stands are available Price: Approximately $20 for 1 movie admission; will be cheaper on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or early matinee showings. Bar service and concession stand options will add up more to the price of admission if you want a little extra during your movie experience Ambience: Indoor Seating at the bar, hallways and of course at the reserved movie theater seats. Rating would be 5 stars if they were to update the old seatings in the Standard movie theater options Overall: Good Experience. Look into their A-List AMC membership for 4 movies free every week in any format for $27.99 plus tax monthly read more

I used to frequent this movie theater as a teenager whenever I go out with friends and family to see the new movie releases. The theater I was in was outdated with pretty dirty seats and had a musky odor. The seats also do not recline. I would be fine with the condition of the theater had ticket prices reflect that. The prices for the tickets are on par with some other places that are newly remodeled. read more

Came here to watch a horror movie, seats so dirty and abandoned lowk made the experience scarier. 10/10! Wouldn't take kids here tho they'd probably get sick from all these germs. Hope parents read this before getting tickets! read more

AMC Orange 30 - Came here to watch a horror movie, seats so dirty and abandoned lowk made the experience scarier - Cinema Near Me - Orange, California

Let me start with the 3 star rating is solely based on the food service line. I'm an a-list stubs member so went to that right side premiere member line. There were 2 couples in front and only 2 couples in the regular line. They proceeded to help the reg line first as our line grew. A couple of workers were just chatting it up behind the counter with only two registers open as both regular and premier lines grew. It took over 25 mins to get two icees and nachos. I've been to multiple AMCs and even before signing up for there a-list membership have never had such a slow and unpleasant service were the cashier was just unfriendly and slow. Other than that my friend and I did say it was quite clean and the Dolby room was great. It was a Friday afternoon around 4pm you would think they would be better staffed going into the weekend. read more

The seats here are very narrow and uncomfortable. They don't recline either. Although the theater sits on the parking lot, there is no direct entrance. It was a very long walk around for my mother with her walker. I won't be coming to these theaters again. read more

AMC 30 is a scam, purchase tickets to watch Black Phone at 11: 15 and they refuse to let me enter because the theater was close, if the theater was close why do they sell tickets for 11:15 pm showing. They turn away others, not sure if it was because they were Latinos. It's wrong that AMC takes your money by selling tickets and not letting you in. read more

AMC Orange 30 - How's the theater close, but selling tickets at 11:15pm? - Cinema Near Me - Orange, California

I'm a new A List member and have been here a few times since having this membership, however my last visit wasn't loading my ticket. So I had to repurchase it, and was told to dispute my charge with my bank to get a refund. How inconvenient and annoying. On top of the slow service here, I will be cancelling this membership and find other means to watch newly released movies. read more

Went Friday night to see Devil Wears Prada 2 at 6:00 pm. The volume was so loud it was painful to sit through the entire movie. Especially when the previews and musings played during the movie. read more

Again There were 3 of us in the premiere line and the cashier kept calling the regular line

Really big theatre in the OC. My first time here it was busy for a Sunday the movie I was wasn't too full. It was one of the smaller theatre, I remember the audio was super loud, maybe its just my sensitive ears. Cleanliness and bathrooms is most important for me when I visit theatre and they were both sufficient. Maybe go back since theres easy parking and easy to go in and out read more

Today we came to see Lilo and stich and they have remodeled the movie theater, reclinable seats, very clean and organized. I ordered the tickets online, and yes there's a convenience fee, but if you are a member they waive the fee, Also you can order in advance candies, popcorn etc. There's a lot of parking outside. Come and try the new improvements. read more

Mari brightened my day, five stars for her! She was such a patient and sweet cashier. I had a bucket of questions, and then I saw something I wanted right after I checked out, and she patiently did another transaction for me. I've had good service all around at AMC Orange. The reason for four stars is the theatre itself. Without considering service, I'd give it 3 stars, because AMC Fullerton is so much nicer, and Orange needs to update at least some of the rooms with recliners, come on! Overall, not a bad place to see a film, especially since you can walk to eat or shop before or after your film. Parking isn't too bad either during off-peak times. read more

Huge screen and great sound but to charge extra for reclining seats that creak when they move and don't allow for other patrons to pass thru the aisle when seats are reclined is a zero star from me. Very inconvenient having to readjust your seats in the dark when other guests want to pass thru. Also good servers at snack bar don't know how to give credit to my stubs reward account so I was cheated there. Not impressed with my visit at all read more

Shoutout to Michael Ayala at Concessions -- he truly made our movie night special. His energy, professionalism, and kindness stood out so much that we ended up ordering more just because of the great service. We haven't been out much lately, so getting back into going to the movies felt extra special. This experience was smooth, welcoming, and genuinely enjoyable. AMC 30 in Orange is lucky to have Michael, and kudos to his manager Arelys for running a great team and creating such a positive atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

Finally I got a chance to see Jurassic Park World Rebirth before it is removed from the big screen. I saw it here with a POF date. It was nearby her apartment. Theater was difficult for me to find at night, due to the construction on nearby businesses. Parking lot is massive. As it is shared with other businesses in the mall. There are about 6 self-serve kiosks outside. But 3 weren't working and none takes ApplePay. I saw Jurassic Park World Rebirth in a standard theater. So the seats were not recliners. The sound was ok. The employees were friendly. Especially the cashier. I was able to buy tickets for a movie that started 30+ minutes ago. Although the ticket says that I missed the movie, the theater employee allowed my POF date and me to go in 30+ minutes late. It was a good movie. Only about 3 couples were in theater. The big screen is the only way to see any Jurassic Park movie. I didn't go to restroom or concession stand. So I cant talk about them. read more

Staff is good and helpful but I also order food and drink in the AMC app before I arrive. We saw "Running Man" remake here a few weeks ago -- it was my first time back at this theater after a few years (we live in a different part of Orange County). The screen was nice and big, good Dolby surround sound. So picture and sound is all good. But they gotta do something about the seats here: old and beaten up -- and they don't recline like they do at our local AMC theater. I've never been in the XL theater (is that IMAX rebranded by AMC?) and so I'll probably come back at some point to check that theater out. read more

We were in Orange County and decided to see a movie. Afternoon Sunday the mall was packed and we looked around and finally found parking. AMC 30 is the largest theater we have ever been to see a movie. The place is huge and the staff from the ticket booth to the ticket taker was friendly and kind. The MAX theater is huge and the seats are very comfy. If you are ever in Orange give this theater a try for a fabulous movie. read more

This was by far the worst experience I've ever had at a movie theater. The manager, Lui, was extremely rude and unprofessional, with no sense of customer service at all. We had reservations for an 11:45 PM showing and arrived at 12:03 AM. Despite this small delay, we were not allowed to enter. When we asked for a refund, we had to practically beg the security guard, who was also very rude, to call a manager. When the manager finally came out, he was dismissive, unhelpful, and gave us nothing but attitude. To make things worse, six of our friends were already inside the theater. They ended up leaving because we weren't allowed to join them. When they attempted to request a refund, no one responded to their calls at the guest relations desk, even after multiple attempts to speak with a manager. I've been coming to this theater for over 15 years, and this experience was extremely disappointing. The lack of professionalism, communication, and basic customer service was unacceptable. I truly expected better. read more

A larger AMC location with multiple auditoriums, a big entrance with nice display and decorations. They have the most cleanliness by far, from the theater seats to the restrooms, to the way they designed itself, make your movie experience better, especially with the intimate showing of Accidental Getaway Driver follow by a Q&A with cast and crew. Definitely come back for more movies if I am in the area read more

My bf and I frequent here for our movie dates.. not by choice but because it's the one nearest to us... This place is okay. If I comment on the facility itself, it does need improvement... Even on busy weekends, sometimes they only open the concession in the main lobby area, which has huge lines. They don't always open the other one, which usually had shorter lines. I wish they have a kiosk if people just want to buy a drink. If there is a separate just drink line that would be so nice. The place is not the cleanest either but I think they try... So overall, it's a place where it's more for the convenience rather than the experience that people come here. read more

This is a big theater located in the middle of The Block Outlets. Plenty of parking. It's clean with lots of amenities. Theaters are comfortable and have good sound quality. We saw Wicked and enjoyed every minute of our experience here. I love the large posters on the outside entrance. They have special pricing on Tuesdays. read more

This is a huge plus from the Norwalk AMC i visited but still, needs major work. Again I ran into the problem of small popcorn buckets and small recliners. My biggest issue is that only a small selection of theatres have reclining seats. Reclining seats are a must for me so although there 30 theatres less than 5 have recliners. I do enjoy that everything here was very tidy and kept. Parking was hard to find for a 9pm movie on a Sunday. This AMC location did have their a list priority line which i loved. Service here was also great Overall this AMC isn't bad but can use a refresh with their seating. read more

We went to AMC for a movie night and spent around $80 total. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match the price at all. The popcorn appeared to have been sitting in a bucket under a heat lamp, and the soda was completely flat. The theater overall felt run down, and the whole experience just felt stale and not worth the cost. We were only in the movie for about 10 minutes before deciding to leave. To be fair, the manager was kind and refunded everything, and the staff themselves were polite -- this isn't about them. That said, for the price, the overall vibe and quality just weren't there. Especially when theaters like Century at Orange offer cleaner theaters, comfy reclining seats, freshly popped popcorn scooped in front of you, and tickets for $12 (or $6 on Tuesdays), AMC just doesn't compare. We won't be returning read more

No air conditioning. It was hot asf inside the movie theater. Not enjoyable at all when it's hot. We left an hour in to the movie, because the heat was too much. The chairs suck and are uncomfortable. And the no air conditioning was disgusting. I had sweat dripping the entire time. I run hot anyway, but even my partner who runs cold normally said he was burning up. Come on AMC! Stop being cheap and not running the air conditioning in all of the theaters. The concession stand are had air conditioning, but not in the movie theater screen 8. Screen 8 had the old school chairs that were so uncomfortable! You have to do Dolby cinema for better experience. The seats are more comfortable too. read more

The theater does that job for sure. Not the cleanest theater sometimes. It has a nice IMAX and Dolby theater.

So we got tickets to see Stranger Things one day showing and let me tell you it was a mad house. Especially at the concessions area. I've been to the AMC 30 at the block and I've never seen it that packed. I was assisted by a gentleman I believe was named Boston. I think he's a manger. This dude was calm and collective in the midst of all the craziness. I worked retail for 20 years which means 20 years of Black Friday sales in the 90's and 2000's so I know what staring down a crowd looks like and this guy Boston was as cool as a cucumber. He Helped me get my pre ordered concessions easily and had a great attitude about it. It's nice to see people who actually are positive and upbeat in a situation that could have dictated otherwise. Good Show read more

Parking can be a little challenging on the weekends. Concessions are pricey as they are at most movie theaters. A large popcorn is only like $1 more than the regular size. Drinks are self serve Coke machines. This theater is older so the seats aren't very comfortable. You can reserve specific seats which has become the standard most places. To save some money, look at the deals they have on certain days or matinees. read more

I love this theater cuz it so close to home! Only bummer part is the chairs are so uncomfortable. With they were more of a recliner style so I could enjoy the movie more that is the only reason why the minus one star. I love being an A list member getting faster service is always my fav benefit. The rewards program seams pretty good for me also. Just those darn seats makes my life tough lol but we will always have AMC as an option read more

In all my years of coming to all kinds AMC's and movie theaters in general I have never met a more kind and knowledgeable bartender than Amanda!!
