As a movie lover and AMC A-List member *flips hair*, I can't believe that it's my first time visiting this location. My partner and I decided to take in a matinee to watch the latest Gladiator and I'm so glad that we did.
Located in a huge plaza that also includes a spirits store and a Main Event on the lower level of the theater, this is really a one-stop shop. Due to the theater and Main Event, there's tons of parking available across the lot. When we arrived, it was packed but we still found a pretty okay spot for the car. The movie theater is on the second level, accessible by stairs, escalators and an elevator. Once we made it to the second floor, we knew we were in the right place. Although the ticket booth was lit up, gone are the days that anyone is actually sitting in there, lol. We always get our tickets online but it was funny to see. They also offer two stations outside where guests can purchase tickets before they head inside so that it's an easy transaction for all.
Upon entry, our tickets were quickly scanned and we were welcomed in. It was a weekend afternoon and surprisingly, the lobby wasn't packed with folks although I knew that people were in the theaters. Not a complaint though, that means a smoother snack pickup! Like most AMC theaters, this location has a MacGuffins bar located inside. Although I can't enjoy a cocktail these days, I do always appreciate that you can get a stiff drink, a glass of wine or one of their specialty cocktails if you'd like to enjoy a little buzz while you take in a movie. My focus was on the snack bar! I don't ever skip the snack bar, inflation or not. My traditional snack order is: nachos w/an extra cup of jalapenos and a glass of wine, which I've recently switched to the biggest Icee possible. My partner went with the mozzarella sticks which isn't out of the norm for him. Ordering was super simple and it's always great to rack up some points. Once you order, you go down to the pick-up area to grab your food. I was surprised that the order took about 10 minutes as they're just being heated up, and they almost forgot my nachos until my bf said something, but we got them! For my icee, I was SO hyped to see that the Wicked marketing craze had reached the drink dispensers as my green apple icee was everythingggg.
As we headed to our theater, I took notice of how clean the hallways were. I used the ladies room later and was happy to see that it was also clean. Always great to see. What I didn't expect was how much I would love the chairs! These are the basic recliners that I've seen at other theaters, these chairs allow you to recline your feet and your back, soooo needed for me these days. As soon as my partner saw me getting comfortable, he told me that I was going to fall asleep lol (which I did). I was SO comfy!
Such a great experience, I'll definitely be visiting this location again for upcoming movie days. read more
