The Rolling Hills AMC is one of my go to movie theaters. It's one of two AMCs I go to. But it's also the place nearest my house that ever has art or foreign films. This evening it was about seeing The Odyssey in IMAX. Their IMAX theater is very nice. The seats are great. The screen and sound are great. They were the only place within 20 miles of my house playing The Odyssey in that format. I saw the movie in a regular theater while I was out of state at a seminar. I liked it, but it was filmed in IMAX and I wanted to see it that way. My wife decided she wanted to go to the movies for the first time this year, so there you go. It was great in IMAX. The visuals popped a lot more. It's an epic film that should be seen in IMAX. read more

We saw The Odyssey in IMAX at AMC Rolling Hills in Theater #10. The movie itself was great, the theatre was great, but unfortunately, the seats really took away from the experience. They were the AMC Club Rockers, and we found them extremely uncomfortable. It felt like we had to sit hunched over, which became especially difficult during a three-hour movie. For a movie that long, comfortable seating makes a big difference. We were disappointed with the seating in this theater and will definitely make sure to avoid booking movies in theaters with these types of seats in the future. Hopefully AMC considers upgrading or replacing them, because the movie experience would have been much better with more comfortable seating. read more

Twice in the last month I've seen movies in the smaller auditoriums where a notable amount of the movie was cut off the top and bottom, seemingly due to the projection being too tall for the screen. They were auditorium 18 for The Invite, and auditorium 8 for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (both movies standard 1.85:1 ratio). I can't confirm if the projection was also too wide, but the main indicator was opening credits being cut off on top and bottom of the screen. This would probably be a HUGE issue for any movie with subtitles. There's no way they'd recalibrate the projector mid-showing, so was going to inform them after. But both experiences were last showings so no employees were around when the movie got out. Oh well. I come here for convenience since it's close to home, but this kind of thing naturally makes a person venture elsewhere for movies they're excited for. Really lowers the overall value of a ticket purchase. (Edit: forgot to mention the men's bathrooms all STANK and all of them have urinals that have been out of order for ages with trash bags over them.) read more

Thanks to TLife and Atom, got my ticket to Superman, A Brand New Day. Plenty of parking. Price of popcorn has increased. Comfy seats. Way too many previews - 20 mins worth. Great movie!! Ok, bye. read more

Great IMAX screen and sound. Dirty seats and rows. Seats were uncomfortable. Really wanted to like this theater but I felt uncomfortable going into my movie. It could be because it was a later screening, i don't know. read more

Located inside the Rolling Hills Plaza this AMC theater feels a bit old! All the standard screen auditoriums are very small with uncomfortable outdated seats except the IMAX room which has club rockers (didn't check the Dolby & 3D auditoriums so cant say anything about those). This place has a chill relaxing vibe though which I do like, restrooms were clean but some of the screening auditoriums not so much !! read more

Easy to access ticketing and ordering food and drink via Stubs; rewards with every viewing used for both ticketing and refreshments. Only suggestions, but may be due to lack of participation: food selections were much better prior to COVID-restrictions. Only negative comment, maybe also due to lack of participation: noticed at Evening Performances: Popcorn is alteady starting to get soft: last week was really salty due to getting from the last kernels left ... tickets are more expensive in the evenings; with Stubs: get large size tub with free refill, get in the beginning ... so why isn't there fresh popped?? read more

The wife and the girl were getting their nails did and the boy has been "dying" to see FNAF as the cool kids call it. For us dumb parents, that's "Five Nights at Freddie's 2". Duh. For some reason, it was playing much later in the day at our Regal Theater in Rolling Hills so we chose to revisit the theater where I spent two super fun summers working way back in the early '90s and see it earlier in the day....which was cheaper anyway. So maybe I'm biased because of the old memories but that was over 30 years ago so I think it's ok to write a review of the joint purely based on yesterday's visit. The AMC app was giving me all sorts of problems...AND I'M GLAD. They charge a stupid $2.19/each "service fee" (what, for a computer to do its job??) for buying tickets through the app. Ticket prices are average compared to other theaters. There was no line at all at the Box Office so I just walked up, saved my shekels and easily bought the tickets. The theater in which FNAF was playing was pretty wide open too (because it's really kind of a dumb movie) so we were able to grab our usual two center seats in the way back. The boy wanted mozzarella sticks ($8) for lunch so I obliged and they were actually pretty darn good with a nice cheese pull. They were surprisingly very similar to those you'd get at any halfway decent sportsbar. Now, the theater itself has come a long way in 30 years (lol). There are comfy stadium seats now that replaced the (shudder) long gently sloping seats where you'd get stuck behind someone tall and have your experience ruined. The lobby is big, bright and spacious...and the kitchen is completely open! There used to be like a narrow galley where the registers were and then you'd have to 'go in the back' to whip up a new batch of nacho cheese which we 'made' by throwing the big can 'o cheese into the dispenser and added the juice from the big can 'o jalapenos. I do miss the days when you could just glop on extra hot piping cheese (and even add it to your popcorn!) straight out of the dispenser. They have pre-sealed cups of the stuff now. I like the open concept so you can keep an eye on the workers. Lastly, the workers...well, they do their jobs and the place is very clean (as are the bathrooms). But they certainly lack the oomph I had when I worked there back in the day. I was that annoying friendly usher, always with a smile on my face. And most of all the ushers we saw yesterday, well, they were just ushering. I know they're getting paid minimum wage or whatever, but have some pride in your work and appreciation for getting to watch all the new movies for free! Anyway, I do recommend this nice, clean theater because it delivers exactly what you want: new movies with great sound played in clean theaters with comfortable seats. RECOMMENDED! read more

The theater still needs refurbishing of the chairs. Popcorn is a bit stale, service is not as great as Regal theaters. The exit is part of the screen which is weird. This is AMC's IMAX theater. It's best to come during the weekday since is less crowded. The theaters are clean. Sound system is good, not excellent. The speakers need replacing. read more

This place is so outdated it's sad. Chairs were literally peeling away and the buttons barely worked to recline the seats. I got my bf and I tickets to Wicked in the dolby cinema theatre and when selecting our seats, the picture of our seats had it where the two seats were together but we actually had a decent gap between us. I was right next to a stranger where in the seat selecting photo, that seat was the one with a gap. Very awkward seating arrangement and the air was real musty in that theatre. Will never be coming here again. read more

Overall the theater is fairly clean and the staff are very helpful and friendly. However it could use some renovation and brought more up to date. The seats are still the OG fabric seats that do not recline, which is a bit nostalgic, but these seats are a bit uncomfortable to sit in for 2 hours. read more

One of my favorite things about this theatre is how low key and chill it is. If you are ever in the mood to watch a movie without the big crowd or the noise, this is def the perfect place. It is an older location so the restrooms aren't the best, but everything else was great. Lots of parking available. read more

The theatre was so-so. Customer service was great. Snack were amazing. Went to see Resident Evil(imax) with my GF and more horrified with the seats than the movie. The seats were barely holding on for dear life and found spots of black goo on the arm rest divider... so we left the armrest in the resting position as to avoid getting the goo on us. Definitely needs a renovations considering how much IMAX cost read more

This AMC probably has some of the best reclining seats I've experienced so far--like dangerously comfortable to the point where you could absolutely fall asleep mid-movie if you're not careful. The popcorn was also on point, perfectly fresh with that elite level of buttery goodness that makes movie theater popcorn worth the price every single time. They have four soda machines, which ended up being a small adventure because I need cherry coke at the movies. Two of the machines were out (tragic), but the third one pulled through, so crisis averted. This theater also had a very crisp and strong cherry flavor in the cola which helps this theater to rank high on my list. I was a little disappointed there was no Yoshi popcorn bucket (sold out the day before), but honestly... probably better for my wallet. Check-in itself was easy, but the scanner is placed really close to the entrance, which created a bit of a bottleneck. I walked in behind a large group, and we all ended up awkwardly shuffling and waiting right by the doorway while people tried to scan their tickets. Not a huge deal, just slightly chaotic. The two main downsides for me were the parking lot and the cleanliness. The parking lot layout is genuinely confusing--it feels like it was designed with zero logic, and I found myself second-guessing where I was even supposed to go. And when I got to my seat, it clearly hadn't been cleaned. There was popcorn all over and candy wrappers stuck in the cup holder, which... yeah. As someone who gets very bothered by sitting in other people's mess, I was pretty grossed out at first. I ended up wiping it down myself and, to be fair, once the movie started I forgot about it. But it definitely broke that illusion I like to maintain that theater seats aren't as dirty as they probably are. Like I know, logically, they're not pristine--but I prefer not to be reminded so directly Overall, still a really solid theater experience thanks to the seats, popcorn, and overall vibe, but a little more attention to cleanliness would easily make this a 5/5. read more

I hosted a birthday party at this location using the Private Rental Service! I never done this before and I'm so glad that I chose this location:AMC Rolling Hills20 - all of my guests and kids had a blast, and they enjoyed the experience and the movie- HOPPERS :) I would give 5 stars to the responsible management, friendly staff, and great service! The general manger Mr. Adame was on top of all the communications with me from initial inquiry, quotation confirmation, concessions ordering and emails for all my questions... this meant a lot to me - having somebody provides me professional advices along the event planning stage and on-site experience, he and his team provided the world-class services! ( I work in hospitality and customer service, so I know they put true efforts and they care about the customers with hearts very much! Highly appreciated!) Thank you! Some bullet points in short: 1. Great leadership and team work: great communications and customer service! If you want to put a party in the theatre, you are in good hands with the support from the team here! They set-up the auditorium before we arrive, including two 6-feet tables for the party. I preordered 40 packs of kid snack packs, they delivered to the auditorium on time! Impressive! We all greeted by the general manager and his team on the day, this warm welcome made us feel like home! 2. Clean and safe space: For family gathering and birthday celebration, this location is clean and safe, even kids were running around between the auditorium to the lobby area to get drinks refilled, there always staff pay attention to our party. Restroom and auditoriums are clean and comfy. 3. Facility and screen: We watched an animated movie in a standard laser room. Great sound and screen, good for the experience. read more

Oh how times have changed since my 1st review on this 16 YEARS AGO, back when I gave it such a low star rating! BUT... this is how you know that my reviews are extremely real and genuine! As years have gone by... this particular AMC actually listened to me and everyone else's criticisms and went into action by doing complete remodeling of damn near everything while STILL keeping a great balance of an old and new school-like vibe and feel! Everything from better management, to better employees have been a huge plus. They instilled the DOLBY, Laser , XL, 3D and even IMAX technologies! Many of their past to present managers and workers have given a great balance of classic and newer vibes when it comes to customer service, maybe because this theater isn't as busy as AMC 18, but I love it. It's such a great, refreshing, nostalgic alternative to have in general. The outside looks way different from back when they first played Jurassic Park, but it's improved while keeping somewhat of an updated classy look through the years. Restrooms are always in tip top shape and unlike the AMC 18, this one tends to keep their sodas way fresher, possibly because of how not as busy it is??? I don't care, it's a plus to me! To everyone working at this theater....please keep up the great work! The nostalgia and everything are so priceless about this theater to the point where I hope it actually never closes down. read more

We used to go to movies almost every weekend pre COVID. We bought a big screen TV and forgot about going back to the movies, especially since apps are now available for less than the price of a monthly app. A friend suggested going to see a new movie on the big screen and we figured it would be nice to support our local movie theatre. We went on the amc website and we were told to wait in line. That was bizarre, but I waited a minute. Then it was a fight every step of the way to begin a new account and then it would not take my credit card. It got to the point of ridiculous. I gave up and will now invest in a 97 in TV. A consumer is not doing the seller a favor, it's the other way around. I'm done with theatres, it's not my job to make them efficient. I do hope things change, or I can see theatres going the way of Kodak and blockbuster. read more

A great theater that I have many positive memories of growing up. Midnight showings here were great and I remember seeing the fountain near this place filled with soap so many times. It's a cool place. Looking forward to coming back. read more

This theater is old and run down this is the first and last time I will be coming here .the lobby is small and a mess by the soda machines there is popcorn everywhere . The bathroom looked like a truck stop, toilet paper and paper towels on the floors and sinks, also 2/4 sinks working. The theater itself was also just as bad. IMAX showing, sound was lacking for an IMAX experience unfortunately. The seats are tore up and old, my cup holder still had liquid inside it so I don't think it was even cleaned. The isle room for your legs is basically non existent, when people leave no matter where you try and put your feet you get stepped on and also there is a huge gap between the back of the seat and the floor where someone could really hurt their leg. Unfortunately I picked this theater for convenience but I will not be coming back here. read more

Went to watch Wicked with friends at a December Saturday 2:35 showtime. (Ticket was about $12, matinee showtime, I believe). This AMC is located at the Rolling Hills Plaza in Torrance. Super easy to get in from PCH. Lots of options for either non-covered or covered parking in the structure. I opted to park in a fairly close that was easy to exit from. My seat was comfy with pretty decent legroom. (I'm 5"2) didn't buy any beverages or snacks since I had eaten before. I had my hydroflask waiting for me in my car but maybe I should have snuck in a little plastic bottle of water bc it was about 2 and half hours. My friend snuck one in. Lol My friend said that the exterior of the theater is usually decorated nicely for the holidays. It was not decorated yet but perhaps other parts of the plaza are. Anyway, I rarely visit the movie theater and the last time I was at an AMC was for the Marvel movies but, I think that was at the del Amo location. With customer service, the ticket person at the booth outdoors and the ticket taker inside was nice. The ladies room needed attention and there was someone nearby about to start the cleanup. 3.5 stars rounded to 4! read more

My sister and I went to see a movie at this AMC location, because it was the only one showing the movie we wanted to see near our location. All tho the movie was great. The concession stand.where you get butter and napkins were dirty they had no butter in the butter dispensers. At the end of our movie before leaving we went to the restroom, to our surprise only 4 of the toilets were working. The others were out of service including the 2 handicap toilets. This caused the restroom to have a line. Employees should check and clean this area often, making sure there's butter in the butter dispenser. The handicap toilets stall should be working at all times. read more

The IMAX theater experience is completely ruined the moment you step inside theater #10, and realize that the seating is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. Seats are moldy, crusty, torn, worn, tattered and there's dried sticky who-knows-what on the seats (see photos). It's obvious that management does zero in the realm of basic sanitization checks -- or simple walk-throughs to inspect the quality or overall cleanliness at this location. This is a dismal example of a theater and an absolute tarnish on the AMC brand. read more

I don't ever want to go to this movie theater again. At the start off the movie you could only hear what was going on but nothing was playing on the screen. Then it finally started playing the movie on then screen but around 3/4ths the way through it completely stopped again. I definitely would not recommend going here. read more

I hate to leave such a bad review but this AMC is out dated. Theater 8 was out dated. Seats had stains, cup holders weren't clean, and why were the previews shown with the bright lights on? Please update the movie theater because I hate to have this as my local theater. read more

Movie theater with lots of parking right in front of the building. We normally go to South Bay Dine in theatre but this one had more convenient schedules for us.

Definitely will be our option B if the closest one is not available for some reason read more

Thank God The Odyssey was a phenomenal film otherwise I would've left. The cup holders were very dirty, like why did my group and I find wet popcorn crumbs in one of them, dirty napkins in another, and even a dental floss pick in another? Also, the A/C like stopped working halfway through the movie, I really thought I was going to pass out. Unfortunately everyone after the movie was talking about how hot the theater was in contrast to how good the movie was. We only chose this theater because it was available for IMAX and thankfully the movie was great, but wow they really need to improve on cleaning and conditions here. read more

Went to go see the 10th Anniversary of Interstellar in Imax. The theater is a little on the older side compared to other AMC's. Workers were very kind, food was your typical Theater Food. The main issue was the stereo and the volume of the IMAX Theater. We had gotten seats in the last row. The seats were uncomfortable as it sat you up at a 90 degree angle, it felt like we were sitting in an airplane. And when the movie had started the volume was uncomfortably loud. Many other watchers that were sitting in our area had either moved to the bottom rows that were open, kept covering their ears or flat out left the theater. It was an as if they just put the volume all the way to the Max and called it a day. For such an amazing movie we wish we could have had a better experience read more

I went to see a double feature and was helped out by the manager to see if I can change my seats. He was friendly and helpful. I was able to change my seats for the second movie I went in to see. The seats were comfortable for the first movie. It was the IMAX experience. The viewing room was clean. The second movie was a much smaller room. One noticeable observation was when I went to sit down on my seats I noticed tagging on the back of some seats. It was off putting. Other than that Brian was such a big help when changing my seats and the concession stand was organized and gave good service. I would recommend this place for a movie date! read more

The good: I had a gift card for AMC from Christmas that I didn't get to use until today. I watched a Korean romance movie called Past Lives. I tried garlic pretzel bites and popcorn. There is plenty of parking here. You choose your seats when you buy your ticket. The bathrooms are spacious. The sodas are self-serve. The bad: They forgot to turn off the lights in the theater when the movie started. Someone had to go alert staff to dim it. The seats were a bit dirty and dingy. The icees are so expensive! They also don't have kettle corn! The screen they show you for you to choose your seats is tiny and hard to view. I was pretty uncomfortable in my chair but it was because I was almost at my due date for my pregnancy. The interesting: This was my first movie theater experience since 2019. I ended up going into labor and having contractions later that night and my son was born the next day. read more

Good theater, clean and well run. Came on a Sunday afternoon it was pretty busy but we got checked in relatively quickly. There was a long line for concessions but it was maybe a 10 minute wait in line. Tried playing a couple of arcade games but it was pretty disappointing. 2 claw games, a shooting game that wasn't plugged in, and a racing game. The theater itself was fine and clean. Sound and screen was good. Movie started at 2:15 but of course there was like 15 mins of previews and AMC commercials. Like I'm here already I don't need a 30 second commercial on how clear the picture is. Overall a pretty good experience. read more

Why is this movie theater in such poor condition? The restrooms are consistently dirty, and the HVAC system either does not work or is grossly inadequate. We sat through a three-hour movie with no noticeable ventilation, air circulation, or filtration. That is not just uncomfortable--it is a potential health concern. The seats are worn out and literally falling apart. The theater rooms smell musty, almost like a wet dog, and the entire facility feels decades out of date. It genuinely feels as though this location has been neglected since the 1980s. When was the last time AMC invested in real maintenance at this theater? It appears abandoned rather than actively operated. It is hard to believe that the City of Rolling Hills and the residents of the Palos Verdes Peninsula are expected to accept this level of neglect. Especially when you compare it to AMC theaters in places like Century City, which are clean, modern, and well maintained, the contrast is unacceptable. This location deserves the same level of care and investment. The community should demand better. read more

This theater is so disgustingly filthy, the theater stink the chairs were dirty and you can tell there's no attempt to clean the theater in no way shape or form, I literally did not want my skin to touch the seats for the fear of catching something .

AMC Rolling Hills use to be one of my favorite theaters years ago but when I tell you I will never step foot in there again!!! I visited on 7/19/24 for the 4:30pm showing of Disciples in Moonlight (film was AMAZING! Definitely a must-see) but this theater has gone SUPER down hill. I had already purchased my ticket prior to showing up so when I walked up to the guy/greeter checked my ticket... he looked super irritated and annoyed - maybe he didn't want to be there!? (I don't know - not my problem nor my issue). The greeter/ticket checker guy said in a low voice which theater I needed to go to for my movie but he said it so low that I didn't even recall what he said once I walked away from him. Went in line for popcorn (which really wasn't a line... that was nice) but perhaps there wasn't a line because the popcorn was NASTY - it had burnt pieces in it. The butter off to the side, tasted OLD. The ice-ee machine pushed out runny liquid. The theater needs major upgrades, deep cleaning... the walls were dirty as well as the carpet in the hallways. The seats in the theater were not comfortable... they don't even recline... so you're sitting straight up thee whole entire time during your movie... SUPER UNCOMFORTABLE. I turned from side to side the whole movie. The restroom was horrendous and it was the one in the front (lobby): trash overflowing, sink tops had water all over, restroom stalls had tissue in the toilets it was just gross. Trash on the floors... I was totally shocked by the condition of this movie theater. I don't see how they're still operating. If the health department came there they would for sure be shut down. AND it smelled throughout the lobby, hallways and restrooms! Disgusting. It took everything in me to focus on my movie and not to leave... and they have the nerve to change $20 plus for movie tickets!? Tickets to this location should be FREE.99! And even then I still wouldn't return!!! read more
