    There are few things I love and appreciate more than a small independent movie theater. The Paradiso of Hollywood is as small time and independent as all of Broward has to offer. It rarely has more then a few people in the theater, when you walk by you can't tell it's really open, and it gets by through donations from the movie patrons of Fort Lauderdale area. It's a new theater so it doesn't have the grimyness and the earthy smells of an old theater. That's a plus or a minus depending on if you appreciate that vintage vibe. It does have small theater quirks though. Some extra small lobby is homey and has a stairs that leads to offices above the main teller spot. The bathrooms are behind the screen so you to the right of the screen to go there. And there is usually only one or two showings of only one or two movies. I was just her again the other day and had a great time. We ordered a couple glasses of wine late and they just comped 'em to us. I'm not big on the bathroom being right by the screen, and the acoustics aren't great, but I know I will be back as often as possible for one of the best little theaters around.

    This is an old theater in between all the cool new restaurants. It is small and intimate. Love it. Saw Puzzle. Great movie. Interesting characters. Meandering plot. Lots of intense moments. Great evening with my the best friend of my life.

    I love the theater. It reminds me of my favorite IFC theater in the village in NYC. To me the best date movies spot and or the place where you go so you can see the movie in an intimate place with little crowding so you can really appreciate it.

    What a great little art house! This place is a non-profit and holds film festivals. Please support your local Indy cinema. There aren't enough of these places around anymore. Looking forward to going again.

    If you have never checked out what this opera story is about, it is as chilling as any psychological thriller.

    It's a new theater so it doesn't have the grimyness and the earthy smells of an old theater.

    A good enough AMC but man is this place in dire need of renovations. The theater still has old…read morestyle fabric chairs, that don't recline. While that isn't too bad, the bad part is the fact that more times than not, the seat are stained with who-knows-what. The place feels rundown enough that whenever I come here, as soon as I am home, I throw my clothes in the wash and take a shower. The popcorn and concessions are pretty good and the popcorn is always popping hot and fresh when I am here, even during time when there aren't many people or a slow time of the day! The staff here is usually friendly but there have been times when I get my ticket scanned, they don't point me in the right direction. That isn't horrible but the theater has many different paths to walk and can get confusing if you have never been here. They have a few cool arcade games but they are pricey for what they are and I would spend that money on some more concessions (that are also overpriced). I also really love that this theater has an IMAX screen and this theater also plays some of those movies that are harder to find if they are indie or a foreign film. A nice enough theater but one that needs to be renovated for my to be able to make this review anything more than 3 stars!

    While I genuinely mean it when I say this is a great theater in terms of movie offerings there's a…read morefew things that hold it back from getting the 4+ stars. In addition to it being a 24 screen theater, they have IMAX & Dolby screens as well as RealD 3D options to choose from. If I'm looking for a movie that isn't being screened at either of my local AMC 8's I know there's a good chance it'll be playing here. I've been coming here more in recent months, with no complaints, but there's some things that should be brought to attention. I know they've been open for many years & truly appreciate the fact that they're still thriving but they're definitely showing their age. Unfortunately, a lot of auditoriums have dirty seats & sometimes I'll have to move from my chosen one because it's in rough shape when I arrive. They're also the seats that don't recline so that's a knock considering most AMCs have the nice CLEAN leather recliners. The seats need to be the main focus for management here. If they're dealt with properly I'll gladly give them a higher rating; this truly is the one big thing holding them back. Concessions here are pretty much on par with what to expect at AMC. They're usually efficient, employees are friendly & the snacks are always delicious. This is a busier location so you should expect a bit of a wait but I personally don't have any complaints from my visits. I like the small arcade section in the main lobby. Although the games are more modern, it gives the nostalgic feel from back when theaters used to have awesome arcades! While cash might be a thing of the past at a lot of places now, they have a machine to convert it onto a game play card. Overall, I enjoy catching movies here but I can't say it's the best AMC in terms of cleanliness. My main reason for coming here is due to the variety of films they offer. It's not my first choice to come to Aventura, in general, but I'll make the trip when there's a movie I want to see.
