Theatre has definitely improved over the years, something changed it's a lot cleaner & nicer than it was in the past. Some of the older seats could use some cleaning/replacing but overall I like coming here nowadays it's a pretty cool theatre read more

We didn't order food as this was our first time to AMC. Service for tickets was a bit confusing maybe because we went to the matinee. It wasn't clear upon entering the upper level of theatre how to get tickets and the staff was minimal in numbers because they just opened. When we got our tickets and entered the theatre we were impressed by the size of the space. Clean, refreshing but seats of theatre didn't recline as I expected. It did up to a point but not to my comfort. We felt price was reasonable and we will return for other shows and pay close attention to the types of comfort. read more

Not great, but not horrible either. When we arrived, there was popcorn left on the seat from the previous guests, which was in plain sight and made it seem like the area hadn't been cleaned as well as it should have been. We sat in one of the family-style rooms. The concept is nice, but the volume was turned up way too loud, which made it a little hard to relax and enjoy the experience. The seats were comfortable at first, but after about an hour they started to feel pretty uncomfortable. Overall, it was an okay experience, but there are definitely a few things that could be improved. read more

AMC Vancouver Mall 23 - Cinema Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

This is a theater I visit often, and I love seeing the recent upgrades! The addition of Dolby Cinema and new recliners is a huge plus. However, some of the older auditoriums-specifically the ones toward the back-could use some refurbishment. During my last visit, I sat in the center of a row, and every time I leaned back, the four seats next to me moved in unison. It definitely feels like the seating hardware needs a safety check. That aside, the snacks are great and the service is exactly what you'd expect from a standard AMC. It might not have the same luxury feel of the old Cinetopia days, but it's still a solid, reliable choice for a movie night at the mall. read more

Went to this AMC to watch the Superman 2025 movie. We went in the GCL experience which was very similar to IMAX. The seats were quite comfortable and the screens were nice. Audio quality was solid as well. My dad needed a wheelchair and they were friendly and helped accommodate. Overall positive experience at the theater. We also liked how they had free water cups. Only went once and my experience was good, so not sure why there's so many negative reviews. Perhaps if I went more times, I may notice more aspects but for now seemed good. read more

You know I loved it when it was cinetopia. As amc meh. But they did not change the architecture. I love the living room theater. Only way to watch new movies. The popcorn is pretty good and the pretzels. Free refills on large sodas and and popcorn. Of course the food and drink items are pricey, but atleast the staff are friendly. read more

The staff were friendly and the popcorn mixed with caramel corn was delicious!! The theater was lovely and very comfy!! We will be going again soon :) read more

Went to see a kids movie so of course we had to be downstairs. Downstairs is downgraded and the upstairs is the comfortable seating of course. When I was sitting in auditorium 8 in the far back seats watching a movie tolerating for a couple of hours it was annoying. View was fin but the chairs made cheap shiney slippery leather that I kept slipping as Im just wearing cotton fabrics. Moved around a lot and couldn't enjoy the movie. It's worse than sitting in a plane with spirit airlines seating and I could even tolerate being on an airplane than this. The auditorium was clean and lay out was nice. But they need to change the seating. Mind you I'm healthy and don't have any back problems. Im usually good about tolerating most things but this was the worse seats ever. Upstairs in the Parlor rooms of course are nice and plush but they can't half ass it. read more

I returned here on 8/15/25 to watch the movie Freakier Friday. We got a large popcorn and large drinks. We sat in theater room #8. We sat all the way up at the top on the opposite side of the Enterance on the end. When we got seated in our seats. The bottom of the seat seemed to be broke and was tilted toward and lower in the front. The movie was great. The popcorn was fresh, and the drinks had free refills. The one star raiting is not based on the popcorn, drinks, or the movie. It is based only on the comfort of the seating. This place needs a remodel in their theater seating. When people pay good money for a movie ticket. They deserve comfortable seating. This is the second time I have been here in a month and both reviews in 2 different theater rooms was very uncomfortable! I guess Regal Theater is my choice from now on. read more

Very nice, large, clean facility with personable staff members. Popcorn was fresh and delicious, and my daughter tried the sliders and liked them as well. read more

I've been coming to this theater since it was Cinetopia. Usually I go to the big screen GXL theater. This time, opted to try their 21 & over theater. The screen was smaller of course, than the big theater with GXL. But I did love how comfortable the loveseats were, and the ottoman to put my feet up. The smaller theater for 21 & over, is ideal for couples. read more

Auditorium 21 is on the 2nd floor. It is a row of seats for adult only 21+. The seats were torn up. You have room rest which is decent if no one is walking by. The section could us a update. You can are far back and high up to see the bottom of the movie screen. Overall, parking was easy and they had the bucket I wanted. read more

I Went to go see Moana and during the whole movie, the sound kept cutting in and out. Wasn't able to fully watch the movie. Also, the difference in seats want to see wicked the week prior and I have recliner chairs, but in Moana you're just some basic seating. Tickets were the same price. read more

It's been years since I've been in a movie theater. Stopped in last night and the staff was so nice and friendly. The young gentleman working the concession stand was so friendly and happy. Greeted us with a smile and such good vibes and energy. When my husband and I walked into our theater room, I realized I had accidentally gotten regular seats and I meant to buy 21+ seats. The young man working the front was so kind and allowed us to switch to 21+ seats with no hassle or issues at all. So nice walking into an establishment where everyone is happy and helpful! read more

This place is disgusting. Seats are worn and broken. The theater was itself disgusting, take a look at the photos. @ almost $20/person... I will never return... read more

This is my go-to movie theater. It's convenient, the price is right (join there A list club for cheaper tickets and money back rewards), and the theaters are clean. Could it be better? I'm sure it could but all in all, it serves its purpose and we happily attend at least twice a month. Idk what all the fuss is about in the bad reviews. It's a movie theater, not a 5 star establishment. The bathrooms aren't Walmart level but they sure aren't the Ritz Carlton either. read more

It is literally no wonder the movie theater industry is dying. The pandemic taught most of us that we can tolerate our entertainment at home. As is with most places in public, movie theaters are good breeding grounds for germs, so coming and partaking in a movie with a group of other strangers better yield a positive experience. There is something magical about watching an amazing movie with a giant crowd (ie. RRR), but those films are few and far between nowadays. I don't subscribe to monthly cinema programs because I don't really want to see everything, but when I do come, I would like the place dark and quiet so that the movie can truly be enjoyed. You still have to deal with the nitwit talkers, and testers from time to time, but damn - the snack packaging is plastic and noise a lot of the times so you have to contend with that. Maybe offer some small paper cups so that the contents of these bags can be emptied before the endless barrage of trailers ends. That wasn't a particular issue at this screening, but it has been a long one coming. Today the trailers ended and the ceiling lights dimmed, but these side lights stayed on. While this was a quick iPhone photo that held the iris a little longer than usual, make no mistake these lights were bright. I spent a good 30 minutes of the almost three hour movie noticing them and trying to ignore them. The only light one should see in a movie theater is the Exit sign and the image bouncing off the screen. That's it. I thought about going and finding someone, but this place is a ghost town, there was barely one employee for selling tickets and concessions for the entire second floor. Actual crimes could be committed and nobody working here would find out about it. So upon leaving and bringing it up to an employee - she said its because of tripping hazards. I know the seats below have no tripping hazards, and these seats with the ottomans are way behind these lights. So if this is seriously the theater's response....Sure, Jan. Ok. The ottomans can be a little tricky as they can either be against the wall or pulled towards the seat. It is obvious from any angle that these movie theater companies are not spending any money on anything to improve the experience. They want you to drop nearly $30 on a concessions bundle when you buy your ticket online. I've been in the bigger auditoriums many times. I've seen a good 10+ films at this theater alone in the last two years and these lights weren't that bright. I am certainly not coming back if this is the new normal. AMC likes to use Nicole Kidman's fancy accent to tell us all "We Make Movies Better" just before the overhead lights dim. No AMC. No. You aren't making movies better at the Vancouver Mall 23. read more

AMC Vancouver Mall 23 - From the second floor - in auditorium 18 - these side lights were practically on bright the entire time. - Cinema Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

it smells like fecals in the movies it's dirty as hell and after i went home i was itching and the soda taste like nothing at all

Worst seats in any theater I've ever been. Shockingly uncomfortable seats. Very short seat that tilts slightly forward and slippery. Backs recline ONLY in combination with seat itself, meaning you have to push constantly with your legs on the floor to get entire seat to recline. And you must recline to be aligned with high screen. Walked out 5 minutes into movie. Popcorn mediocre. Staff very friendly. We had to get a seat change initially because of broken seats. If there were such a thing as a negative star- that's what this theater would get. read more

Finn at the front counter was very charismatic and kind. My husband and I came to watch nosferatu and we were 10x more excited to watch after Finn's recommendation! My husband says "He is the MVP" thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

I used to go to this theatre when it was a Cinetopia, and I was actually really excited for it to become an AMC as we had AMC's on the East Coast that were SUPER nice (like, electric reclining seats and booze in the theatre nice). This is not that AMC. Cinetopia had let the place go down hill toward the end of its life, and we hoped AMC would revamp the place. Unfortunately from my last 4-5 visits, they just rebranded Cinetopia's leftovers. Yes, they got Coca-Cola Freestyle machines which is very nice. But their bar got worse (its pay per drink, you can't run a tab, and you can't take the drink to your seats anymore), their upstairs concessions charges 15 dollars for a pretzel (seriously) and almost is never open (they only regularly keep the downstairs open), and the seats are ripped and often not clean. On the past two visits we had to find an usher (which was difficult upstairs) and then have them come and clean the seats/footstools because they were greasy from someone's buttered popcorn fingers. The floors were sticky too, and we were the first showing of the day which tells me they didn't clean it the night before. It's the closest to our home which is why we go, but they really need to put less money into advertising and more into actually fixing up their theatres. read more

Worst movie experience in a long time. Granted, I hadn't been there since Cinetopia went away so the whole vibe was depressing, as is the mall. Greeted with " btw, our manager said to let you know the movie may not last until the end but we'll give you free passes if it ends early". Oooohkay. Looking forward to ordering cocktails. Well my husband uses a walker and can't carry his drink, so I got him seated and went back to the bar "nope, only one at a time". I missed part of the movie to go back for another and the bar was closed. The sound was TERRIBLE, could barely hear. I feel really really sorry for the the employees here who have to deliver the bad news from management, because THAT is definitely the problem. AMC sucks. Time to go out of business. read more

I've now come here for 3 movies over the last 6 months. I gave a huge pass this summer with COVID closing everything. But I've never been in a more disgusting bathroom as I have here. EVERY. TIME. I'll caution to say that I'm a facility manager so I've seen some messed up stuff. But here we are 6 months later and I'm now certain that no one is cleaning these bathrooms and they're DISGUSTING. WTH are the employees doing here between movies???? I've gone to the bathroom twice and both times have seen 2 people at the ticket check in when no one is up here. One of them could be cleaning?!?!? It's absolutely gross!! read more

The sound is terrible!! Had a weird cracking noise the whole time. This is my absolute biggest complaint. There is no outside entrance. You have to go inside the mall and walk to it and there's no real easy way to get there. Confusing layout and uncomfortable seats. read more

I've always loved this theater since it was a Cinetopia. It's basically just had a name change, I'm not even kidding. (It was lowkey painful seeing how exactly the same it was, honestly.) It's a big theater, with so many screens that you'd think they'd get every movie. But that's not the case, they stick to the usual close to 12-15. I think I've gone to the snack bar ONCE, but my MOM went, and I just waited with her. So I can't speak on that, or anything else besides the screen rooms. They have pretty good screen rooms that are pretty comfortable. Then they've got their high quality ones, and their low quality ones. Their low ones are unfortunately small and uncomfortable. I think they're usually reserved for less popular/leaving soon movies. Although they usually try to stick to popular movies, so usually less popular just means ranking all the popular ones, and choosing one of those. Not something obscure. It's in the mall, which is nice. Vancouver (not Westfield anymore, weird) Mall is my favorite mall to go to. Maybe not my favorite overall, but too easy to access, to say a Portland hard to access one is better. I think the quality of employees is normal, not stand out amazing or horrible, just good. I guess their missing outdoor access/a closer mall outdoor access. I think every entrance to the mall puts it a bit of a walk away. But within the mall while shopping, it's super easy. Right in the middle. This is a classic theater that needs no introduction. Good quality screen rooms. Easy access within the mall. Thanks for reading! read more

they didnt let us buy food, they didnt give us our ticket on time. we couldnt leave even with our ticket, they made us wait inside and called security for no reason. they kicked us out and the only reason they gave was that we had our feet up, even with nobody infront of us. Overall never coming back. Horrible. read more

horrible, kicked me out of the theatre with my family because my daughter went out twice to go to use the restroom. also when i asked for a refund they say no. read more

Absolutely horrible location the employees are a bunch of lazy people that would rather sit on their phones than help customers out. The one in particular that I had trouble with was a younger gentleman wearing glasses with blonde hair, had a genuine disinterest in being at his job and acted like it was the end of the world because you came up trying to buy tickets. read more

I wish I could leave negative stars. How the mighty have fallen. AMC has absolutely ruined what was once Cinetopia. What was once a very desirable venue for an evening out has become a shameful absolute goddamn dump Not only are the auditoriums complete threadbare, torn up getto which AMC can't be bothered to maintain, but all former food services are now a joke. Not only are they unable to maintain what now passes for a pathetic concessions menu but they can't even keep the napkin supply stocked. (Who doesn't love going home covered in fake butter grease for lack of the ability to wipe their hands?) The prices for this dump are beyond insulting and the seating is worn and uncomfortable. I have literally walked out of two recent blockbuster films in the course fo a single week due to the piss-poor service and unmaintained seating discomfort. I will be formally contacting AMC to demand refunds for less-than sub par service but I have no expectations of any positive ackknowlegement. Anyone and everyone should do themselves a favor and avoid this dumpster fire like a plague. Better still, contact AMC management and tell them what to do with this disaster. read more

Horrible experience. No one from AMC monitors theater guests or the serving of alcohol to obviously impaired (drunk) individuals. Couple next to us were over-served, talked the whole time, vaped, and thru garbage in open seat next to us. We won't be back. Don't recommend you go unless you are going there to ruin movie for others get served beyond legal limits (AMC your welcome, I may have increased you sales. Not tickets but more alcohol please!) read more

I went to watch Dan Da Dan with some friends in the lounge number 12. Worst movie experience of my life. Id rather watch this movie from a public bathroom in portland on my phone with some crackhead jerking off in the stall next to us than go here again. I had to cover my ears because they had their shitty speakers at full blast and every "high" note like a yell or scream or god forbid a "smack" during the fight scenes (which happened every other second) was the most piercing sound of my life. Id rather enlist in the military and have hearing loss from nukes and guns than go to this theater again for its audio quality. Me and my friends ears were ringing and definitely experienced hearing loss no doubt. It was so bad i actually couldn't read the subtitles AT ALL because any high pitch noise possible made it sound like a jackhammer was smacking fucking vibranium metal. This pain made it so i couldn't keep my eyes open because i involuntarily would shut my eyes at any little noise unless i shoved some fingers in my ears. It felt like a challenge just to eat popcorn. I had to make the mental and physical sacrifice of taking one finger out of my ear to grab a handful of popcorn real quick. Sometimes i just wouldnt think that sacrifice was even worth it just for some buttery goodness in my mouth. Im never going to this theater or place again for an anime movie premiere. This shit had to have been a war crime or something read more

Horrible experience. Their soda carbonation was broken, the AC was off, and the workers were very unhelpful.

I've only had amazing experiences with this theater. And their refund policy has been amazing as well, I wasn't feeling good and decided to cancel half hour before and got a full refund. Excellent service always and amazing showings and seating options. I will only be doing business and coming to this theater. read more

I have always came here and it has always been amazing, I do think that for the stages of 21+ they should be more cleaned in the cup holders, wiping down seats & feet rests and trying to keep it smelling as fresh as possible. It was really muggy in the air, once the movie was over the trash smelt horrendous like someone had taken a literal sh*t in the trash... worst I've ever seen & smelt it to be definitely wasn't pleasing. Lastly the worker that works in the 21+ area is not welcoming at all, I don't know what it is but I have seen him the last 2 times I've been there and he's never changed his attitude seems like he doesn't want to be there either. The Barbie movie on the other hand was amazing! read more

Clean, reclining seats, no bad odors, good screen, good sound system, friendly staff. Great place to see a film!

Got to see the Eternals on the GXL screen. First time watching on a GXL. While the sound system was good, I prefer the Dolby Cinema system. Didn't order any food, but the fact that you had to go to another floor for food seemed inconvenient. The staff was very friendly and I loved their wall decorations. read more
