Been here a few times and it's always been a solid experience ! Service is friendly, theater is clean and so are the bathrooms. Theater is not too crowded the times I've been. Seats must be dangerously comfy and spacious if my nephew knocked out mid-movie lol. Parking lot is huge, but it fills up quicker than you'd expect on busy days. read more

What a great place to com watch Devil Wears Prada 2 with the ladies! This location features a AMC McGuffin's Bar. We decided to gather libations before the movie. There are SO MANY specialty drinks at this full bar. All of them are prepared efficiently by 2 bartenders. They also have middle and top shelf alcohol available here. I spotted Glenlivet 12, Makers Mark, Dolce Vida, etc. here at the bar shelves. There is only 1 bartop seating for two option here. You can take your drinks into the theatre, which is nice. My drink was delicious. I ordered the OG Watermelon Crush. It was refreshing and well made. A couple of my friends did Aperol Spritz I think. The theatre is well maintained and clean. They have a lot of candy options, about 4-6 food options (pizzas, nuggets, hot dogs, popcorn, etc.), and a million drinks. Lines are split into regular customers and AMC A-List. Concession lines move quickly. Bar line moves a bit slower. Theatre was the Dolby Sound Max and it was great. Clean, not smelly, and seats were VERY COMFORTABLE FAUX LEATHER LOUNGERS! This was a great time. read more

Dolby Theater 7 remodel is incredible! Extending foot rests and cool or heated seats! A little more expensive but definitely a worthwhile upgrade. read more

AMC theatre's has come a long way. The theater was clean, the seats were super comfy and the sound was crisp and loud..just the way I like it ;) Staff were friendly. Macguffins Bar had good drinks but pricey which is typical for a theater, but hey, nothing beats that freshly made cocktail, fresh popcorn and ICEE combo. Perfect spot for a family night and so close to home! read more

This is my "go to" movie theatre as it is the closest theater to my home. Plus, I'm an AMC A-Lister! There's nothing that I can complain about regarding this AMC. The staff is very friendly. Oh wait, one complaint: I wish they would show an "art house" movie from time to time. read more

Public places should not have fabric seats!! Got 4 itchy bites on the back of my legs from the F9 seat in room 5. Crazy thing is my husband pulled out his flashlight before sitting down and I laughed about it smh. Also ticket clerk didn't give us glasses for a 3d movie. Realized it when we saw the blurry theater screen then looked at our tickets stating 3d. For this theater to be located in Otay Ranch it definitely needs to be better and properly maintained. read more

Clean movie theaters and bathrooms, friendly staff, fresh popcorn, variety of snacks and beverages, a bar located inside, and stadium style seating. Only downside about this location is they do not have reclining seats. This theater is located on the northeast end of the mall. There is plenty of free parking available on both side. You're able to pre order your tickets and select your seats online or in person. I recommend their AMC app, makes it easy and convenient to select a movie and even order food/beverages to have ready. I've seen this location really busy a handful of times, but for the most part it's been nice. Theaters are clean and spacious. Food and popcorn has been fresh and good quality. The bar ,Mac Guffins, located inside serves cocktails and beers. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The prices are average and there are discounts for early weekday showings. Overall, great location and nice to watch movies at. read more

AMC Otay Ranch 12 - Balgarian pretzel- very good & huge - Cinema Near Me - Chula Vista, California

I've been to many AMC movies and this one so so convenient because I can walk to it in minutes!!! There is ample parking. If you choose to eat before you go there are so many options. It's clean, from what I saw. The concession has the common options like others but this one has a bar!!! The seat are comfortable however if giving the choice and maybe one day they will upgrade to the recliner type chairs. One of the best features is you get to pick your own seat!! Like I always say try if you're in the Otay Ranch area, you may just like it. read more

This is my main go to theater as it's minutes away from my house. The lobby and screen rooms and even restrooms are always clean, and the staff always positive and helpful. Now on to the cons: outdated seatings and screens. No VIP screens, no recliners, no IMAX screens. I believe this theater would bring in more guests of these features would be added. read more

I was so excited to watch GOAT since it's been so hyped up on ROBLOX. Me and my boyfriend came in late because of traffic to meet up with my boyfriend's mom who already bought our tickets and she went inside with his younger brother since he was getting anxious about the movie starting. We got inside the theater and tried calling his mom but she wasn't answering her phone so we looked around the different theaters to try to hear where GOAT was playing and even asked other guests there if they were going to the same one. However, two employees rushed up to us and told us we had to leave which made us late to the movie. It was terrible and I am so disappointed. We told them about our whole situation and they rudely told us "doesn't matter you have to leave now." read more

Honestly This my Favorite AMC To come here and their food is great especially their hot dog and chicken tenders with their BBQ Sauce and Again Thank You AMC For Letting Me Wear The Ghostface Costume Oh And Sorry About Me walking around the rows my bad and oh if you have the video recording on camera post that on your channel That will be cool and the movie was good and Great Service and Comfortable Seats, GO AMC read more

What happened to this place? This place needs some SERIOUS DEEP CLEANING, maybe new management!! This place is awful!!, everything is now old--which I could understand; but on top of it, FILTHY, pretty gross!!! And that, is something else!! Please AMC, pay attention to this, immediately. I knew it was bad, I've heard comments, but now those 25-30 min with all the advertisements we must watch before the movie starts, it gives your customers the time to SEE ALL THE ACCUMULATED F I L T H !!! So yes, we are NOT consuming any popcorn, food, candy, etc--and probably will stop coming here too. SAD!! read more

"MOVIES" I enjoy hitting the "movies". Surprisingly this location is bigger than I thought. And clean.er than most AMC theaters. Please, keep it that way! Ample parking shared with Otay Ranch's little plaza shopping center. Lobby didn't stink like sweaty cheeks and buttered popcorn. No fancy leather seats that recline but I'm ok with that, my back didn't hurt and it was comfy. Employees are super friendly here with greetings when you enter and farewells when you leave. Do them a favor and pick up after yourself when exiting the theater! read more

CLEAN!? I don't think so! It was a nice movie theater. Just walking up to the entrance is grimmy and gum stuck to the ground. We understand that you can't control all things but do something about what you can. POWER WASH the entrance especially in the door way areas! The carpet should be shampooed or replaced. AMC Otay Ranch is supposed to be one of the nicest places to go and watch movies in San Diego, but not anymore. Some of the seats also need to be replaced. So uncomfortable! You can afford it. Don't talk about the staff they could be more polite and professional! Where do they think their paycheck comes from? read more

Each AMC you attend you can count on one thing, the popcorn is second to none. The AMC here at OTAY Ranch is awesome. Theaters are nice and roomy, they are kept clean and the seats are always comfy. Each time we are visiting my wife's family we usually make a stop at the movies if we stay the night. read more

My movie was at 8:15 and the screens were black til I called and told them that they weren't playing anything in the theater at around 8:40. When they turned on the movie ( I was around the top row) I could hear them laughing and talking about how there was only a few people in the theater at the time. Majority of it was small talk but I paid 35 bucks and ended up leaving early because I could hear them talking throughout the movie read more

Nice and clean movie theater with non-reclining seats. Love the variety of self-serve sodas. Popcorn was okay- first serving and refill was about 1/4 broken popcorn and unopposed kernels so beware. Loved The Holdovers btw. Recommend. read more

DOLBY SCREEN FINALLY !!!!!! that's exactly what this placed needed ! No longer Need to drive to Palm or Plaza Bonita !!! (Hopefully IMAX next) read more

Solid theater - a strong 3.5 in my book. Located in the Otay Ranch area amidst countless food and drinks options. The exterior is well maintained inside of the theater is clean. Service was friendly. Audio and visual quality were good as well. It doesn't earn a higher rating from me because the theater I watched the film in was on the smaller side and didn't have leather reclining seats. Don't get me wrong, it was clean and enjoyable, but I'll look forward to when they upgrade the seating setup. read more

Watched an 830pm movie on a Tuesday for $7 at Otay Ranch location. Great deal! Although Chula Vista AMC was my first choice (with reclining chairs), I didn't mind the 12 mile drive to Otay Ranch since the movie Goodrich had limited showings in Southbay area. Although Otay Ranch was much calmer and not so loud and busy as Chula Vista, I still preferred Chula Vista. I didn't like that Otay's drink station had closed down by 10pm when I went over to get a refill. Upon exiting the building, I thought it was weird not seeing any staff anywhere, not even by the entrance/exit area. Overall, my experience at Otay Ranch location was good one. read more

Seemed about the same as other AMCs. Clean, friendly. The only problem for me was my son couldn't handle the loudness (of Inside Out 2 lol) and so he and I ended up waiting in the car while his mom and sister watched the movie. read more

Love this theater because it rarely becomes busy. Chairs are comfortable and don't fold back. Employees are friendly and helpful as well. I have seen several movies at this theater and have enjoyed each experience. The theater is located inside Otay ranch mall. There are many dining options walking distance next to the theater which is also a plus if you want to have a nice date and meal without the hassle of parking. read more

Vince was cool. Nice bartender, great personality. He was willing to talk to me before my movie, which was nice!

I was told I couldn't show a picture of my Id, when a guy walks up right after me and shows a picture of his and gets in. Then an employee ran after me thinking i was going to another movie from the one I payed for and starts having the biggest attitude and saying stuff that were so irrelevant read more

if I was able to I would give 0 stars, I normally don't write reviews ever but I was talking to a supervisor named Angie and she was not friendly whatsoever. My boyfriend is an employee at a different location and we were just trying to refund two tickets because we wanted to reserve seats earlier, meaning we had to give up our seats for a couple of minutes and get them back. We didn't get our seats. It was a whole thing of trying to figure things out and since we payed through Apple Pay she ended up giving us two gift cards instead of a refunding it back to the card. Honestly, we were able to figure things out but what bothered me most was her attitude. We were being nice and understanding but her being unfriendly and apathetic was annoying. I understand things get busy and you're going through your own life but I genuinely would appreciate it if I can have a little bit of kindness for something we're paying for. I would like to hope that Angie the a supervisor shows a little more interest and kindness to other guests because we will not be coming back to this location. read more

I have been a a list member for a very long time now this amc most of the members know who I am cuz I see 3 or 4 movies a week the staff is very nice from the ones who check your ticket to the staff who clean the. Movie the popcorn is good and yummy and drinks both did go up in price but if you want to save. Get a kids pack. Popcorn drink and kids candy for 8 bucks or Tuesday small drink and small popcorn 5.00 Lots of parking. But if something is going on a big event. U might want to come early and it's near a lot of restaurants so eat some food before u come or try the chicken tenders and frys they have inside read more

Me and my wife love coming to this theater to watch movies! We even come late night in our pajamas (people of Walmart style) and come and watch late night movies when we want a late night date! We live down the street so it's quick and exciting whenever we have a chance. The theater is so convenient and the employees are always helpful and friendly. We usually just come to watch a movie but sometimes we order popcorn and snacks. But we recently found out that they have a bar inside so we might later have to take that into consideration next time we stop by. I just love the fact that you can relax and just take a breather and watch a good movie and throw all the stress away from the day. The theater is clean and the atmosphere is great and soothing! I will be coming here constantly till we move. Thank you AMC! read more

Second failed attempt to watch a Fandango sponsored movie at this theater. First time was 'The Return of the King'. The movie kept glitching, with the screen freezing, and every time someone from the theater had to go alert the staff. Second time was today, for a screening of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. After waiting for 10+ minutes for the movie to start, along with 3 people asking staff about the delay, the theater said "they couldn't show it." Do Better! read more

Clean and nice theatre been a regular for years. Recently they couldn't apply my $5 reward without the app which is annoying since I literally have always been able to do it by providing my email or phone number. I asked my manager to apply a discount for me and she refused and insisted I download the app. Well there is no Wi-Fi at the theater. And I ended up not buying a tickets because I felt very annoyed by the service. If this really is a system update I really hate it. I have gone for years without issue but I guess I just wait till the movie it out until HBO Max like everyone else. Good luck keeping up sales. read more

Standard, no frills movie theatre located in a shopping plaza so do give yourself some extra cushion to find parking before your movie time. Recommend purchasing tix ahead of time online so you can pick out your seats. The only draw back of the experience we had here was when we bought drinks at the bar. We saw that cocktails ranged from $13-16 and that seemed pretty average but since my husband and I usually just get gin and tonics, we were surprised when the total came out to $38?!? We confirmed with the bartender that we only wanted single shots also, so we're guessing he might've messed up and rang us up incorrectly, but $38 for a two ingredient drink?! At the movies?! Lmao definitely not worth it. I guess that's our bad for not asking beforehand but good lordt! read more

This movie theatre is A-OK! I came here to see the new Star Wars. We ordered our tickets online and accidentally ordered the wrong showtime and when we got to the window they refunded our tickets with no problem. It took a while because the girl working had to ask someone else how to help us. The girl at the ticket office just wasn't very enthusiastic about her job and did not smile once. She was very monotone and seemed depressed. The popcorn we ordered was very good and there was extra butter and salt on the side stand. Yum. They have one of those cool soda fountains with so many different flavor choices too. We saw the 3D movie of Star Wars and I must say the picture quality wasn't very clear. I think the 3D may have taken away from the quality. I didn't like having to wear the plastic 3D glasses either. It would have been better to have it 3D but not have to wear glasses. The seating was typical movie theatre seating- they don't have the recliners here like at other AMC locations. Overall just your average movie theatre. read more
