    Fun place! They are very good at coming in at the end of the movie to clean up. It is very dark in the theater, so I would suggest if you notice anything that bothers you then you should bring it to the attention of the staff. The staff was very responsive to anything that I needed cleaned up. I like getting popcorn freshly popped. There are more choices at different AMCs but I do get the nachos often and these are offered at all the theaters. Parking can get crowded but that just means you may have to walk more. Get there early and you can try any of the nearby restaurants.

    "...We come to AMC theaters to laugh, to cry, to care. Because we need that, all of us, that indescribable feeling we get when the lights begin to dim." Dazzling images at AMC Porter Ranch 9 at The Vineyards at Porter Ranch outdoor mall - dining, entertainment and shopping experience. Is tucked slightly back, so you don't notice if you first turn in off Porter Ranch Drive, like most. It's passed Nordstrom Rack, between Ulta (Beauty) and Finney's Crafthouse and looks great during the day but even more stunning at night with that gorgeous Red and White glow for AMC w/ Dolby Cinema. I've been lucky enough to see a few things at this theater over the years and most recently had a great movie date with my novio/boyfriend. Parking was super easy, we got something on the main row w/ the theater in perfect eyeline just passed a lot of the EV station spots. We got seats ahead of time using the AMC mobile app. And made our way in, greeted and guided by the ticket scanner. We took in an even more stylish lobby w/ a full crew at concessions, a savvy bartenders at the MacGuffins Bar and plenty of room to navigate. Also having just gone on a walk prior to our show since we arrive a bit early, we wanted to hydrate and found some water cups, easy to access and had plenty via their Coca-Cola freestyle machines. Restrooms are pretty pristine with a set of them when you first turn down the iconic man hall Nicole once strutted. They have even more as you go down the hall that I hadn't noticed before as I typically see a lot in Dolby and Prime. Theater 5 was just as nice as those and I'm assuming any. Picture and sound were amazing. And those seats extra clean and extra cozy. We joked that we almost feel asleep because it was like watching movies at home together holding hands, but then the action kicked in and we were super in to it lol. Definitely and AMC I recommend not just for the significance in nostalgia, but also the experience #TheyMakeMoviesBetter Open as early as 9:30am, earliest show at 10am until 11PM give or take for their last shows.

    Always love coming to this theater! Love the newness. The seats can heat up and recline. I'm a regular here. Staff is nice. It's always Clean. And I obviously have a great experience. The parking in the lot can be tough. It's usually always full because of the other restaurants and stores that are around, but it's worth it all. Of course there's great concessions and they even have a nice little bar area for anyone who likes additional refreshments. They have a lovely seating area as well and all in all it's just a fantastic Theater. I love AMC.

    Another great movie experience here at AMC Porter Ranch! This theater is top notch! Side Note: This is not the theaters fault at all but today I was a little bit bothered when I got to my seat and a family with 3 kids were sitting next to me and my entire seat was covered with popcorn and a buttery mess. The parents didnt care that I had to deal with that and make a trip back to the concession stand to get a ton of napkins to protect my clothing from soaking up the butter and staining. Please be aware of others and have a little concern for the fact that they paid for a ticket and expect not to have things like this effect their overall experience.

    AMC Porter Ranch has been our go-to theater since it opened. The kids love coming here for their movie dates with friends, and as AMC Premier members, our tickets are always free. It makes it super easy for us to take them to every movie they want to see. Just this week, we watched Elio and How to Train Your Dragon, and a few weeks ago we caught Lilo & Stitch. The only thing I just can't stand about this place is the lack of service and the fact that the WiFi never works. It's a huge pain, especially when we're out for a date night and can't be sure if someone can get in touch with us in case of an emergency with the kids. Also, parking can be challenging because of all the other businesses in the area. Overall, we love this theater and its vibe, but I really hope they fix the connectivity issue soon. It would make the experience a solid five experience.

    I have an A24 membership and try to check out a free A24 film screening at a different theater, and this one has become my favorite so far! It's one of the newest theaters around, so everything still looks modern, stylish, and super clean. My favorite time to go is Sunday morning -- it's quiet, there's plenty of parking, and it feels like you have the place to yourself. I didn't try the food or drinks this time, but there's a bar offering adult beverages if you want to make it a full experience. The recliner seats were spacious, heated, and incredibly comfortable. Honestly, I don't have a single complaint -- everything still feels so fresh and so clean! ;)

    We saw the last Conjuring at the Dolby cinema and it was so good! Great great movie and great effects. A nice sized movie theatre not too big or too small. The popcorns are huge and I love the big slurpees. Bathrooms are always clean, they just need to salt the popcorn a bit more but that's it. A lot of open parking but when it's busy you have to do a lap or 2. Never a big issue though,

    I love that this AMC branch frequently comes up with unique bar drinks that relate to movie releases or holidays. Recently on Valentine's day there were plentiful Valentine's themed drinks! When my boyfriend and I want to splurge, we try out one of those special drinks from the bar here. Although next time we probably will only share one because we both didn't finish the drinks. Lately we have been satisfied with getting a nice large popcorn with nachos and cheese. Parking is always full on the days we come here, so definitely don't come here late to a movie showing. Trailers are a decent anount of time and aren't too long. The staff here usually clean up pretty often and I never see any horrible messes. I like the lobby area where you can sit down and relax at. The Dolby Cinema is top notch in terms of sound and screen size. The recliners are set up in pairs with sharing an arm rest but you are still side by side with others. You can adjust the reclining angle of the seats and the seats I have been on always work. They're not overly comfortable but they are still nicely padded. If I were to watch a movie that I wanted to enjoy the experience for, I'd usually opt to go here!

    If you've been to an AMC theater, you've seen the Nicole Kidman ad. This is where that legend begins. This theater is relatively new, modern, and is a great place to go see a movie. Parking: The theater is located in a shopping plaza and shares parking with all other businesses and is free. You can park in front or behind the theater. There are EV chargers in the front near the theater. The charging rate at the time of this review was $4/hr via ChargePoint. Amenities: The theater is a small theater with just 9 screens. They are all regular features with some 3D. There is one Dolby and one Prime auditorium. Ticketing: There are no external kiosks but there are 3 immediately once you enter the lobby on the left. I recommend ordering your tickets online since this is a reserved seating theater. Food: They carry all the normal popcorn, drinks, and candy as well as the expanded food selection of hot foods like chicken tenders, flatbreads, curly fries, etc. This location also has a MacGuffins bar. Lobby: This theater has one of the nicest lobbies I've seen with ample, comfortable seating for you to hang out before or after your movie. It's located immediately inside the lobby with the massive glass windows/wall. Seats: This theater has upgraded recliner seats. These seats are softer and less plasticy than the normal recliner seats you find at AMC. The theaters have the walkways on the sides and what seats you see as center in the app, are actually centered in the theater.

    I haven't been to this movie theater in a couple of years, since I'm rarely in the area! I decided to check it out last night and it was just as amazing as I remember! It's still a pretty new movie theater and they do an amazing job of keeping it clean and well maintained. As soon as you walk in, there is a huge lobby area, with comfy seating. Since it was nighttime when I arrived, there was plenty of seating. I took a seat and relaxed for a bit and noticed the bar, as well as specials they are running. They have a happy hour 5-7pm, so I definitely need to return for that! The theater itself was very clean and the seats were large and comfortable. My movie was in the Prime theater, so the sound quality was superb! The picture quality was great too. Even in the back row, I had a great view of the screen! Parking was super easy in their large parking lot.

    Felt the need to leave a new review since it's been a while and also because of our experience from last night. This is our go to and they are usually pretty good about giving a box to share popcorn but the last few months, they've either been out of boxes completely and offered a weird bag option, out of salt, or just plain messy. Popcorn all over the floor, drink spilled, just a mess. Hot dog quality has gone down as well. The buns used to be super soft and now it's straight out of the bag as if they don't heat it up anymore? Idk. Last night they gave us a tiny bowl thing that you usually see at lunch rooms for like a small taco or something, that was what they offered to share popcorn. The problem is, you can't shake up or mix the popcorn like you normally would to mix the butter and salt. Do they expect us to not want butter or salt? Or just for the first scoop and that's it? It would honestly be nice if they offered boxes all the time to share, they can afford it for sure. Otherwise, let us put butter and salt half way through filling up the bucket. That sounds like a solution. lol. It just feels like they've been cutting down and being "cheap" lately which is sad since this is Porter Ranch and one of the better locations/areas. From a 5 star down to a 3. IG: @ammysalamii

    Ask the Community - AMC Porter Ranch 9

    What time do they close the food services ? I have a movie at 10:45 and I want to be able to buy food etc

    They won't close it before the last movie starts. They gotta make that popcorn scratch!

    Do they have Bluetooth capability to link with hearing aids & cochlear implants?

    That's a very good question. I will ask next time I'm here.

    I want to see Oppenheimer. The only seat left is the 3rd row on the side. Is that too close to sit? I usually sit in the middle.

    In my opinion if it's the Dolby theater anything in the first 4 rows is too close. Other theaters might be okay in the 3rd row, but I wouldn't want to sit that close.

    Can you drink alcohol inside the movie room?

    I don't believe they let you bring the drinks from the bar to the auditoriums.

    Can you bring a dog?

    No you cannot

    What is the best theater to see a movie?

    4DX, if you want an interactive experience, is available at Regal in North Hollywood not far from Universal Cinema.… Read more

    How much are the tickets?

    It all depends on when you see a movie & what format you want to see it in

    Do they ask for proof of vaccinations?

    They used to but stopped after the mask mandate became optional.

    Is the $5 Cameo Combo (on discount tuesdays) offered at this location?

    Yes :)

    Are they open today?

    Yes

Fast forward nearly 17 years, and it is honestly shocking to see how much the place has deteriorated. Stepping inside is like walking into a time capsule that hasn't been maintained. The carpets are visibly filthy & stained, & there's a heavy, unpleasant odor as soon as you enter the auditorium. Almost like moldy, dusty feces. The seating is the worst part, the chairs are literally falling apart, covered in grime, and the armrests are in horrific condition. While these are the older stiff style seats rather than the new recliners, most of them are broken and just feel unsanitary. The screen size is also smaller compared to more modern theaters, though it gets the job done. The one saving grace of this visit was the timing. My friend and I went for an early Thursday afternoon screening and we were practically the only people there. Having the leg space was great, but it doesn't make up for the lack of cleanliness. Bottom line, If you just need a quiet place to see a movie and don't mind a ghetto vibe, it's fine. But if you're looking for comfort or a clean environment, this place desperately needs a major renovation.

But my experience yesterday watching Obsessions was incredibly disappointing. I'm especially upset because I grew up coming to this exact theater all the time as a kid back when it was under Pacific Theaters. I never remember the service being this terrible, nor the theater itself being in such a sad state of disrepair. We were seated in Theater 2, in the back right-hand corner of the left section (facing the screen). The lack of upkeep is shocking. The large sound-dampening board along the wall was completely coming off and was literally touching my chair. When I tried to force it back out of my space, it looked like it was about to pop completely off the wall. Then, the moment I fully sat back and leaned into my seat, the entire front end of the chair collapsed forward, causing me to slip right off onto the floor. Because the chair was entirely broken, we had to move down a row, completely ruining our seating preference. While the broken seat ruined our comfort, I am honestly most upset about the concession service. I paid extra out of pocket for a soda when we arrived, with my card clearing the charge at 10:40 PM. When I went out to get a refill at 11:30 PM, every single soda machine had already been turned off. What makes this absolutely crazy is that it was a Saturday night--one of the busiest nights of the week--yet staff was already shutting down amenities while our movie still had an hour left and multiple auditoriums hadn't even let out. I paid for a drink that comes with refills, but I was only allowed the initial fill because the staff wanted to pre-close early. It's a shame to see a place I have so many good memories of turn into a place with hazardous seating and lazy management. AMC needs to do better.

Customer service here is honestly some of the worst I have experienced anywhere. Instead of making customers feel welcome, they make you feel like you are bothering them.
