    I don't know what the locals think but are all theaters this big up yonder? This one had more seats than I've ever seen. This theater was so clean compared to the ones we have in Pennsylvania. Every person was super friendly. Ya'll are spoiled.

    Theater 18, AMC plainville CT.

    Go here a lot gets worse every time. Went to 730 showing Resident Evil sun sept 20, 2026. Woman's bathroom had several bathroom stalls out of order running toilets and not working. Few that were had stuff in toilets had flush before using some wouldn't flush what was in toilets. Was in theater 18 sat in top row. One row below in J at far end was group middle eastern guys and yes that's what they were talking throughout whole movie loud and inconsiderate to rest people in theater not that they would ever care or know proper respect for a movie theater. Freaked of weed was disgusting sitting near. Several people were upset. I finally went down told employees exactly where they sat and how they were acting. Not sure if because of who they where or what but employees said they'd handle it they went to lady possibly manager for that night and I told them again how many and location they said they'd go in. Yeah they didn't. Whole movie with loud rude scumbags. Besides them the seats we where sitting on were slightly offset rest chairs and they don't recline to well. Won't be going back at night again and with prices being as ridiculous as they are kinda hard to justify spending so much on a miserable movie experience. Where we are from if we complained they'd go right in and tell them shut up or they'd be out here they clearly didn't care or were afraid to confront them. Between me and guy in next row we were both about to call them out but I didn't want to have this escalate and possibly get violent.

    Got to enjoy a yelp event here. The theater was comfortable. Loved the reclining chairs . The staff was very friendly. I got to enjoy a complimentary popcorn and soda. The soda machine had many options and there was a station with salt and butter.

    Enjoyed a movie here with my mother. Staff is friendly and helpful. Large variety of theaters here. Concession stand was good too.

    Employees must wash hands

    Employees handle tons of food. There's no soap in the bathroom which means they are returning to work with urine and fecal matter on their hands. Absolutely gross!

    This is definitely the better AMC in the area. They show more movies and allow IMAX and Dolby, which is a game changer. The popcorn and drinks are hit or miss. And there's always ample parking. Warning: the bathrooms are always filthy.

    "I'm working so hard, I'm working for the company I'm working so hard to keep you in the luxury" (Jagger/Richards) Luxury is the key word of your AMC Plainville 20 Experience. Big luxurious upholstered chairs that will likely put whatever you have in your living room to shame. And if you can locate the push button below your cup holder, you'll discover that your seat will recline as the footrest ascends. The theater is neat and clean and downright gorgeous. The sound system is fantastic and the place rumbles and vibrates accordingly with the action on the screen. And the quality of the images on the screen were crisp and clear. We bought our tickets at the lobby bank of kiosks and reserved our two seats. By not patronizing the concession stand we interacted with zero human beings - no cashier, no ticket taker, no usher. Nada. We just came back from the 12:05 showing of The Boys in the Boat. Our Senior tickets were nicely priced at $10.09. Thank you for a fantastic customer experience.

    I am extremely disappointed with the experience I had at AMC Plainville this evening. My family and friends are avid movie goers; most of have AMC A-List and after tonight's experience, we do not know if we can continue to support AMC. A group of 12 of us went to the movies to see the new Captain America movie; we all were in the same row but entered the theater at different times since some of us ordered from the concessions. One hour into the movie, an AMC worker entered the row and asked my friend to follow her out of the theater. Security was waiting at the front of the theater. A few minutes after my friend did not return, his girlfriend, my dad and I left the theater to see what was going on. We walked to the lobby to see 7 AMC workers surrounding my friend. We immediately walked over and asked what was going on, in which my friend told us that they are accusing him of recording the movie on his phone. The only evidence they had was a picture of a screen which was incredibly grainy, and you could only see the back of a person's head holding a phone. The picture was so grainy, you couldn't really even identify this person at all. They stated that the person in the video recorded the first 35 minutes of the movie, including the previews. My friend and his girlfriend MISSED the previews since they were ordering $70 worth of concession stand food (they have the receipt to show the time when they ordered the food) so obviously the person in the video could not have been him. Even the young woman who served them the concession stand food (who was one of the AMC workers surrounding my friend, which again why did they need to have 7 workers, including a security guard, surrounding him for allegedly recording a movie) confirmed that she served him at concessions. My friend also showed the AMC workers his photo library to show them that he did not record the movie at all and they said that he could of already "sent it, emailed it, or send it to the cloud." They told my friend that he needs to leave the premises or they would call the cops. My friend asked them to call the cops. The police officers arrived and even said that they don't think it was him in the picture (because even grainy, looks nothing like my friend), but said unfortunately since AMC is a private company they have the right to have people removed from the premises. My friend was being extremely respectful and understood that there was nothing that can be done other than contacting corporate at this point. Extremely, extremely disappointed in AMC. Like I mentioned, we are avid movie goers. Even during COVID, we would rent out private theaters so we can still continue to support and it's something we always look forward to doing. This has tainted our experience so much. AMC workers absolutely profiled my friend as someone who would record movies illegally and I'm writing this review to warn others. They escorted him out of the theaters and as they were walking to the lobby, my friend politely asked them who they were looking for and they were silent. They literally treated him as a criminal without having any legitimate proof that he did anything wrong. They also surrounded him in the center of the lobby area, as many people walked by and it was extremely humiliating for my friend. We are considering never supporting AMC again unless this situation is rectified. We have spent thousands of dollars at this theater just to be treated like criminals without proof.

    Me sitting in front of my seat I love these little tables that they have here

    The seats were really comfortable they reclined the theater was very clean and they made everything fresh for us. The movie quality was really good I really enjoyed honestly how clean the seats were the most. They offer a wide variety of popcorn sizes and snacks and drinks. They have mozzarella sticks and sliders as well as hot dogs and candy. They have slushie machines and the soda machines where you can mix match or pick from a bunch of different types.

    My movie spot! I signed up to be a free AMC stubs member and with my membership it includes 5$ Tuesdays! What a affordable option to take the kids out for a nice relaxing evening. Forget taco Tuesday, this is my new to go! Along with the great ticket price deal, AMC also included 5$ popcorn and icee deals til Jan. 2023 which was a hit for all us to be able to enjoy a nice snack during the show. Tonight's movie choice was Wakanda Forever which ended up being phenomenal. The recliner seats were clean and cozy and the quality of the big screen and sound were on point. The crowd was moderate and seating was spread out which was nice. I love the option of buying online and picking your seats before you go. Such a great feature and such a convenience to be able to book ahead. I'm so excited to see what the girls pick for the next Tuesday movie night!

    First time Lounging at this Joint.

    Still in business? I have driven to here twice in the last two months and it's closed. No signs--…

    It's still in business. I go there all the time, and don't usually see too many staff members; most of the purchasing you do there (tickets, concessions) can be done through a computer, which may be why they don't have much staff and aren't picking… 

    I've seen the kiosks, but i was wondering if they have a slot for dollar bills to pay? if not, then how would you pay if you don't have a card?

    If the self-serve kiosks don't have dollar bill slots to pay, there are still regular registers where you can see an attendant to get your tickets.

    Are there recliners in IMAX theater?

    Yes!

    Cinestudio is an independent film theater that opened on the campus of Trinity College in Hartford,…read moreConnecticut in February 1970. It was founded by a group of Trinity College students that included Peter Stott, Ted Kroll, Peter McMorris, Charles Rumsey, James Hanley, Anne Risdon, Larry Stires and Randy Man. The group of film-obsessed students made a home for themselves in a little-used lecture hall inside the Clement Chemistry Building. The room, unfortunately, possessed troubled acoustics. Within two years, and with the help of Ralph Mauro from National Theater Supply and Lonny Jennings at Dolby, the sound issues were rectified and the room was transformed into a recreation of a 1930s film house. The grand opening (a double feature of "Alice's Restaurant" and The Beatles' "Yellow Submarine") was sold out. Cinestudio screens a variety of second-run, independent, foreign, and classic films. The single-screen venue has a seating capacity of approximately 485, 4K Digital Cinema systems, as well as 35mm and 70mm film projectors for use in studio archive presentations. Cinestudio features a spectacular gold Austrian screen curtain that rises at every show, real balcony seating, and the gold lion courant insignia. I recently visited Cinestudio for the first time. I read about it and an online article and couldn't believe that I had never heard of it before. I parked in a small parking lot on Summit Street and followed the sign which led me through a stone archway. As I walked along the Main Quad, I saw the neon color-changing lights of Cinestudio. Entering Cinestudio is a blast from the past. I purchased my ticket at the Fred Pfeil Memorial Ticket Booth (only $10 a show) and then headed to the concessions area where I purchased a giant bucket of popcorn for only $5. A volunteer told me, "The balcony is nice, but if this is your first time here then I recommend the lower level. You can hear the sound system much better." The interior of the theater was absolutely gorgeous with red accents. The film that I was seeing during my visit was the 1978 remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers": part of the theater's ongoing series "Our National Nightmare: 2026 Anxieties in 1970s American Film". Many screenings at Cinestudio are introduced by a guest speaker; this one featured Roger Benham. Although I have seen this film a number of times before, this was my first time seeing it on the silver screen....and it was so much more frightening now. This was my first visit to Cinestudio, but it certainly won't be my last!

    Returned again tonight at 7 to watch "it was just an accident" (Jafar Panahi, 2025), super intense,…read morevery good international film. Highly recommend.
