I'll never understand why people still pay money to see a movie at the long outdated Regal Birkdale Theater, when this welcoming cinema exists only 10 minutes up the interstate. Offering better amenities & cheaper admission prices. I really enjoy coming to this AmStar by Santikos Mooresville location and have been for many years. The staff are always very kind & helpful, & the reclining chairs in the auditorium are the best in the area. There's plenty of room to get in & out of the aisles also. I adore the well lit & vivid colors of the lobby, white & lime green (my favorite color)! This theater has been properly kept up with & reasonably updated over the last 5-6 years. Earlier this year, they finally got the Coca-Cola Free-Style machines & they also now have super cool self serve popcorn machines. Popcorn, Soda, and ICEES are ALL REFILLABLE regardless of the size you order. The ticket prices are also reasonable given the updates made recently (and still less expensive than Regal Birkdale). Just saying! There could be some better "real-food" options, but other than that AmStar by Santikos Mooresville is currently the best theater for a movie going experience (aside from the AMC's at the malls) in the Lake Norman area! (Note: Photos of the lobby & auditoriums are from Halloween 2025 & the photos of the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines & self serve popcorn machine are from February 2026). read more

Good..comfortable seats Bad...all to often have to prompt someone at the front desk to adjust volume or AC. Also. &10.65 for a large popcorn and $10.15 for a regular. Give me a break, obvious scam to extract more spending. Also don't take cash, how un American. read more

I love the theater as a whole, the staff are welcoming and it's kept relatively clean. This is the third time I've been recently though that people have talked loudly throughout the entire movie. Please do more staff check-ins of the theaters. read more

I was made to purchase a ticket so my 16 year old and his friend could watch The Backrooms (a rated R movie). I escorted them to the theater and then went to my car. I don't like horror movies or loud noises and frankly had better things to do. The theater staff watched me go to the bathroom, to my car and told my son and his friend they had to leave unless I came back. I went back in the theater and she, I think her name is Karen, came to check on me AGAIN and make sure I was in the theater. One more nail in the coffin for theaters. NEVER AGAIN! Having a policy and enforcing it are two different things. I bought a ticket and escorted them in. read more

I've been going to this theater for the last 15 years. Ever since AmStar 14 has been purchased-partnered(?) with Santikos, they check women's bags to get in the theater? Bet you they don't check men's pockets. Seems sexist. It's also a huge invasion of privacy. What if a man looks into my purse and sees my tampons. Embarrassing. My bag isn't even oversized, it's a large fannypack. They also don't accept cash at all. OR TAP?! And don't give me, "we are checking for weapons," when was the last time something dangerous happened at AmStar 14? If you're worried about danger reach out to the local police department or hire professionals to be security. Not invade the privacy of all the individuals who choose to carry purses. This theater is losing its spark. The theatre, cinema experience is dead. read more

AmStar - Santikos popcorn bucket - Cinema Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Really enjoy this theatre, especially the comfy, reclining seats. Would have given them 5 stars, but they've replaced the ticket booth employees with touch screens. I'm real tired of shitty self-check out and hate companies firing employees in favor of automation. That being said, I know theatres are struggling, which I why I'm not rating even them lower. read more

This theatre has an extremely friendly and courteous staff. The food menu is plentiful and their health score is 100!!!! They have wine, beer, soft drinks, hot dogs, pretzels, nachos and almost anything else you can think of to eat! Tons of candy options. The theatre has comfortable reclining seats and it's very clean. It's right off Hwy 150 and very close to the I-77 on/off ramp. I'd definitely come again. read more

Came here on opening weekend for Wicked. So easy to buy tickets online snd pick showtime and seats. Then you just show your ticket confirmation inside the theatre and you're told which screen to go to. So much better than lining up for tickets and getting random seats. The seats recline with footrests. Spacious and comfortable. Sound system is great and the temperature is comfortable. The last time I went to this theatre was during the last ownership. This is such an improvement. Bathrooms are clean too. Snacks are still expensive tho. read more

My family and I recently "discovered" Amstar in Mooresville even though it is not far from home. Earlier this month, my son Rusty, his wife Cody, and I watched "Gladiator II" there. We had not been to this theater before and were impressed with its cleanliness, 14 screens, modern and comfortable reclining seats, spacious access between rows, and the friendliness of the staff. We viewed the 1215 showing and enjoyed hot buttered popcorn for lunch. Let the record show that Cody is holding the mega-sized container of popcorn while Rusty and I have Coke Zeros. As a Vietnam veteran, I will be back to take advantage of the Monday special when veterans and first-responders get a five-dollar special on tickets and concession items. read more

This theatre is easy and convenient to locate and they have plenty of parking. The seats are extremely comfy and there's plenty of room if you are sitting near someone. You can determine what level of recline suits you which I loved. The layout is great and the sound system is awesome, especially for an action packed movie like MI. The only thing I will comment on is they charged $9.00 for a small popcorn. That's a bit steep in my opinion so I regrettably passed on the salty stuff and just enjoyed the movie. They also have a different option of watching a movie on a larger screen. read more

I found it appalling that no posters for The Color Purple were anywhere to be found in the theatre. When we asked if there were any, the staff looked at us as if we were crazy and said "no" with an attitude. Had I known it would be like this I would have chosen a different venue for the movie. Also, this will be MY LAST TIME coming to this theatre and I will tell everyone I speak with not to patronize this establishment. read more

I'm not a frequent moviegoer, but I dropped in here recently to watch a film. And I will confirm that the seating is comfortable. Kinda surprised I didn't fall asleep in that recliner. I was unimpressed by the sound system though. My flick of choice should have been a seat shaking experience of rumbles and roars, to be honest. Not so in this venue, I'm afraid. And about 90 minutes into the movie, my attention was drawn to two mice scampering to and fro on the stairway adjacent to my seat. Not a good sign for the cleanliness of the place, if you ask me. read more

Always easy parking. Now with reclining seats. Lower ticket prices than Mecklenburg theaters. Have never bought refreshments here, so can't rate those. Back entrance to Walmart is the way to get in to avoid traffic. read more

AmStar - New recliners - Cinema Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Great little cinema here in Mooresville. Good selection of movies. The seats are very comfortable!

Seats were so comfortable and room temperature wasn't freezing like usual. A little disappointed that the bar was out of everything. read more

WOW, this theater just received a new face lift! I was debating coming to this location because my last experience wasn't so great. The theater was dated and had a bad odor. Well not this time!!! I walked in and immediately noticed the new renovations which included the comfortable plush recliners with cup holders and new tile flooring. I kicked backed and enjoyed the new movie House of Gucci which was just okay. My highlight was feeling like a queen on her throne in these new plush seats. I can't wait to go back next month during the holiday screening of oldie but goodie movies. read more

I had the worst experience with a Manager named Jordan. She was extremely rude and very unprofessional. Amstar can reach out if they want specifics but I will never go there again as long as that manager works there. I will also advise anyone I know to not as well. read more

Definitely could be better. As you walk in through the front door there's so much space, I feel like it's a bit of a waste, if they added better games in that room maybe people would actually enjoy spending their time there. Plus I get that usually movie theaters overcharge in the concessions but 5.46 for a water bottle, cmon now. And let me not forget while I was watching the movie I noticed that one of the speakers was making a buzzing noise, speaker must've been damaged, should get that checked out. read more

AmStar - New Dragon ball movie - Cinema Near Me - Mooresville, North Carolina

Super comfortable reclining seats, clean, friendly staff! Wonderful cinema experience!!!

Nice new comfortable reclining chairs. Customer service is terrible, the theater refuses to give you glass of ice with you $5.50 purchase of water, wouldn't be a huge deal if the water was cold. What would it hurt to allow a cup of ice to be given with a purchase of water that is served warm? It's disappointing that employees are not allowed to take care of simple customer requests. read more

It's a nice clean and roomy neighborhood theater 5 minutes from my home. It's my go-to when it's time to watch something on the big screen. I have no complaints. My grandchildren love going there. read more

This is a cool theater. No frills, no bar, etc... but it was nice. The seats were comfortable. Recliners and all. Also, staff were pleasant and friendly. read more

They've upgraded the seats to this theater, which is a plus, but there are still areas they need to focus on. The bathrooms are terrible! Many of the women's stalls are missing doors and while there are a lot of sinks, a number of them don't have handles. It makes the bathroom run before or after a movie jarring after the more modern seats and theater experience. Additionally, the handicapped parking is right next to the dumpsters so every time I go with my family, it smells so horrible we have to fast walk out of the stench. The entire side parking lot has this problem, so next time we just have to park in another area. I do hope the bathrooms get addressed someday though, it is an area that sorely needs some attention. read more

This movie theater very nice but is ALWAYS super hot. I've said something numerous times but it's always the same. No matter the theater it's hot. So that's a no go for me. You pay serious money to go see movies and eat and drink. I think they can handle turning on the A/C read more

This movie theater is extremely well taken care of and very clean! Recently renovated inside with the most comfortable reclining leather seats in late 2019 and also received some fresh paint on the inside and outside! Highly recommend! read more

After dropping what I consider to be a good deal of money for our family of four to see a movie and a few snacks, I would've expected the bathrooms to be better kept. When I came to the front to find a manager they were all in the front office and at the counter I found the restroom checklist that had been marked just minutes before and the bathrooms were DISGUSTING. Doors missing, nasty toilets, messy. Unacceptable especially when I saw at least 4 employees in the front office just chatting. Then to top it off the Photo Booth took our money. No one ever came to the front to ask if I needed assistance. We went at matinee hours and they weren't busy, at all. Very disappointed. Those fancy recliners aren't worth the disgusting bathrooms in my opinion. read more

Hi-back chairs w/ drink holders in the arms, free refills, and ill mannered slobs who put their feet up on the chair-backs. Two out of three ain't bad... Regular tickets are about $11 each but you can save a little cash at the matinee showing (unless you're a senior, then it's one low price all day.) Add a refillable large popcorn and soda plus a box of Goobers® for under $20. Not a bad deal for an afternoon in comfy chairs that can accommodate the biggest movie fan. Screen room was a typically shallow stadium configuration that made the compact screen look bigger; same principle as watching your TV from the floor instead of the couch. Sound quality was sufficient to fill the room and distract from the silliness of the CGI bits; we even got a some rumble and thud from the bass-holes next door. Facility was clean and well kept, staff was agreeable and friendly, and the shows were current. What's not to like? read more

This theater has many issues. The bathrooms are gross and none of the urinals in the mens bathrooms work. I went for a 6:30 movie. It is 6:45 and the movie still hasn't started yet. I asked the gentleman that takes tickets he said oh yeah theater 10 always starts late. Really you can't fix the start of a movie. This place is a joke. read more

This is an excellent movie theater that is safe and fun for the whole family. 75% of the time their popcorn is better than AMC's. The arcade is limited and requires a trade of United States currency for tokens to play Ms Pac-Man that breaks at pretzel. Otherwise, the friendly service professionals are effective and the management is approachable and responsive. The digital projectors provide a wonderful picture with dynamic range and color depth of film. Highly recommend this place. read more

Typical old school theatre. Not to many bells and whistles here other than popcorn and soda. The place is clean and staff was fine.

Walked in with 3 adults 6 kids. We got incredible service at the counter from Chase , Joey and one other person. We went to see Thor so the kids were excited. Great service read more

The new recline chairs here are great except you still end up sharing the arm rest with the person next to you. That's my only issue with the new seats. Otherwise it's a good theater but would be nice if it were larger and had more screens. read more

This movie theater in Mooresville is always a top pick for our family. The staff is very helpful and friendly. If you choose online options for ticket ordering that is extremely faster and convenient. They have clean restrooms and clean theaters! The seating is very comfortable also. Their prices are about the same as other theaters , I have been to. I will definitely be returning in the future. read more

Hadn't been here since the pandemic began. They really have done an amazing job with this theater. Already been there twice in a months time. Very thankful they opened up again. read more

I feel spoiled by the brand new cinema near me back home, however, this theater did serve the purpose last night for seeing Jurassic World. We saw the 3D version at my cousins request, and at $14 per person, if I was responsible for paying, we would have seen the regular version. $14 is WAY TOO MUCH for a movie in my opinion. The theater is visibly old, does not have any "modern" features like alcoholic beverages or kettle Korn, but it does have stadium style seating. Also, 60 and older gets a $3 discount (my mom is probably the only 60 year old who will admit her age but she was all giddy to get the discount). read more

The seats are nice, the cound is great and Ive never had an issue with the quality of movies shown. I gave it 2 stars because the management and organization of this theatre is HORRIBLE! The customer service is a joke and the management changes with the seasons. Get in, watch your movie and get out. I only go when I dont want to drive into charlotte otherwise I wouldnt spend a dollar there. They also never seem to run weekday specials like the AMC line. read more

Late showings during the weekend even on new releases are easy to get into if not completely empty. Nice to get a good seat without worry. Concessions are typical expensive theater stuff and tickets are average price as well. Facilities are well maintained and always clean. Overall a good place. Should they offer solid comfortable theater seating down the road and alchohol/food options - which they don't today at all - I can up the review to 5 stars. read more

I paid to see an action film. I stepped out during the film and asked about the lack of sound. I was lied to twice about the cause of and remedy for the issue. I was given a pass to use for another screening and I left. Hey, take the whole family for a nice overpriced outing and maybe they'll lie to you too! Sounds like fun! I'm going to try to use the pass at another location. read more

Nice and clean. The staff are teenagers, but did a good job for us. Management has done a good job with this team. It could use refurbishing, but still a 4 star. read more

The theaters are comfortable, the staff is typical high school mentality, the bathrooms are almost always clean and the sound is good. The tickets are competitively price and they usually host a kid-friendly series each summer w/discount tickets and treats. The snack bar is RIDICULOUSLY priced - $19 for two drinks and popcorn. Three stars b/c of the overpriced, so-so snacks, they won't let you bring food from neighboring businesses and they are swarmed w/loud, rude teens nights/weekends (teens who make even accessing the box office a nightmare and the management doesn't seem to mind.) read more
