    Did you know there are less than 100 IMAX laser projectors in the entire world? Chattanooga is home to one of them and this experience is amazing. I enjoy the movie experience in general. It goes up a notch when I walk into an IMAX theater. I am always impressed when I need to move my head around to see the entire movie screen in front of me. IMAX envelopes me into the film and the images are spectacular. Now take that up another notch. A 3D experience that surrounds and pulls me into each moment with almost surreal images really gets the blood pumping. Most of the TN Aquarium movies run 45 min and are focused on a good message regarding the world around us. We've had the pleasure of seeing space, oceans, and backyard nature in IMAX 3D and never disappointed. I highly recommend the experience anytime you get a chance!

    The theatre is beautiful and the workers are nice and helpful. They have a garden you can walk outside in while waiting for your movie to start. There's also a place to try virtual reality in their lobby. You have to pay for it-and I didn't do it because I'm super sensitive to motion sickness-but my friends did it and said it was awesome. The IMAX theatre is gigantic! The screen is huge and has a really beautiful picture. We saw The Great Barrier Reef and we loved it! I was hoping it wouldn't make me dizzy-and it didn't! We will most definitely be going back to this theatre

    Never going to come back here I walked in seemed ok at first but then I got into the theater and disgusting

    Awsome theater really cool inside seats nice but the service is horrible but overall it sucks. Don't come here if you want to be treated

    Great 3D Entertainment Came in for their 6 o'clock showing on a weekday night. Hurricane 3D The film was really well made. The whole time I was watching I kept asking myself how they were able to capture some of the shots they did. I mean they were able to capture the impact of a hurricane from the perspective of a stick insect. Talk about a micro - viewpoint The IMAX screen and surround sound made for a badass experience. It was only $8 extra with the purchase of an Aquarium of Tennessee ticket. Normally I get motion sickness from 3D films, so I was hesitant to go. But I'm so glad I did. Food - Disgusting story alert. I considered ordering popcorn but when I saw what I saw... I just couldn't The concessions attendant put BACK a bag of popcorn that had been physically touched by the customer ahead of me to check for temperature difference between the two popcorn bags he was about to buy. Gross! Overall Recommendation Skip the popcorn, catch a film, and you'll have a great time.

    I visited the Tennessee Aquarium's IMAX theater with some friends after visiting the Aquarium. Usually this IMAX theater only shows 40-45 minute educational fare in conjunction with the Aquarium. Current features are "Under the Sea 3D" and "African Adventure 3D". Occasionally, this IMAX theater does show a real feature film... we came to see the latest Star Trek on this six story tall screen! With only one theater, they don't have much time between clearing out the last show and seating for this show... so you do a lot of standing in line, waiting to go into the theater. They tell you they begin seating 15 minutes prior to the movie... it's actually more like 5 minutes prior to the movie. Hopefully you didn't consume all your snacks waiting in line, because for the 7 pm Star Trek show, they closed the concession stand at 7:01. I'm a big guy, and the seats were a little "cozy" for me. I prefer the seating of newer theaters where I have a little bit more room to spread out (or raise an armrest). So I wound up leaving an empty seat between me and my friend so that we both would be comfortable through the movie. Something I didn't notice right away, is that also, being a tall guy, my knees were jammed up against the back of the chairs in front of me... about halfway through the movie that started to become uncomfortable. The screen is huge and the sound system is pretty good. I heard in the cheesy "Welcome to IMAX" skit that the screen is nearly as wide as a basketball court. Or that you could fit a life-sized adult whale on the screen.... that's pretty big! It certainly made the movie experience very awesome. You feel like you're in the movie. As I just mentioned you do have to endure a two minute "Welcome to IMAX" skit that's pretty cheesy... but it does teach you a little bit about how the IMAX experience works, which is interesting. And right after the skit, they go right into the movie.... you don't have the 30 minutes of previews as you do in regular theaters. I gave this IMAX three stars for the movie experience. The massive screen and sound system are pretty fantastic. It would deserve another star if the seating was more comfortable and if they played regular Hollywood movies more often. In case you were wondering.... Star Trek on the IMAX? Very awesome!

I already bought my ticket online before coming which made it easier. They have a couple kiosks in front to buy or scan tickets, and to buy any extra things like snacks and drinks. The lobby was pretty small in front but it had everything it needed. The seats are very nice! I can't remember when's the last time I've been to a movie theater with nice recliners. You can recline it pretty far back and there's still enough space for people to pass by your seat. The seats were so spacious and comfy, I loved it. And even though I was reclined a little, I still had a great view of the screen. Service was great, they were fast, friendly, and helpful too. I have no complaints, I had a wonderful experience and I would definitely come back here.

We purchased our tickets online and then you scan them at the front and a ticket prints off. We had trouble with the first kiosk but we moved to a different one and it worked well. We ordered our concessions there too so when we got to the concession line and showed the ticket it was ready right away. The theater is nice the reclining seats can lay almost full back and there is still space for people to walk past without having to move your position. Nice size screen and sound quality.

    I recently visited AMC Theater 18 in Chattanooga, and unfortunately, the experience was far from…read moresatisfactory. Firstly, the movie was unbearably loud, to the point where it was uncomfortable to sit through the entire screening. It's surprising that a theater would neglect such a basic aspect of creating an enjoyable movie-watching environment. I even complained to an employee and they did nothing. To make matters worse, the theater itself was in a deplorable state. It was dirty, with noticeable grime and litter scattered throughout the seats and aisles. The overall condition of the theater felt old and run-down, clearly in dire need of a major renovation. The carpets looked worn, the seats were uncomfortable, and the general atmosphere was uninviting. In summary, my visit to AMC Theater 18 was highly disappointing. I hope management addresses these issues soon, as the theater has potential if given the proper attention and care. This is an older theater and really needs a cleaning and remodeling. Some of the seats are broken and damaged. Whatever you do don't take a uv light in here and look around as I did. See the photos if you dare.

Lol Luckily there were very few people in the theater and could mover over seats. Also the audio for the movie was like watching a regular tv at home. There was no surround sound at all.
