It's located on the inside of a mall, but there's not even a sign that specifies that AMC is there. Just know that once you've passed by Trader Joe's and start walking to Ralph's, you've gone too far. As for parking, I think on the lower level, which is also hard to pinpoint from the main road (depending on where you're driving from, I've been told there's a parking garage). For me, I just ended up parking near the Trader Joes's/PetSmart side, which offered plentiful and more manageable parking. Aside from that, I totally understand what everyone means by the odd parking situation now lol. Once I found the theatre, it wasn't a bad experience. Staff was friendly, bathrooms, for the most part were clean. The inside felt a little outdated, but the reclining seats were comfortable! Keep in mind that they WILL make some loud squeaky noises if you're trying to adjust the positions mid-movie. I'm not sure if I'll be back to this AMC specifically, but I can't say I had a completely terrible experience either.

Tuesdays are where it's at! It's $11 per ticket, or closer to $14 with fees and tax, but honestly,…read morethat's still a pretty good deal for a clean, convenient place to watch a movie. The seats recline, the theaters aren't overcrowded, and the snack selection is pretty good. I also enjoyed the refreshers. Best of all, the temperature was actually comfortable--not freezing and not weirdly warm. For a Tuesday movie night, I'm not complaining!

I've been coming to this theater for years, but over the past year I've noticed a steady decline in…read morethe quality of the seats, service, food, and overall experience. On my last two visits within the same month, the AC was not working properly. During The Odyssey, I sat through nearly three hours as the theater continued to get warmer. With the humidity we've been experiencing in San Diego, it was extremely uncomfortable. The same issue occurred during a movie I saw three weeks earlier, and the visit before that as well. At this point, I'm not sure if the AC is actually broken or if Cinepolis is simply not prioritizing the repair. If you're planning to see a movie during these hot summer months, I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm the AC is working in your theater. And don't be fooled by the freezing lobby--the individual theaters can be a completely different story.

After dropping off my car to a shop in Mira Mesa, for…read moremaintenance, I was told the job would take about 4 hours ugh! I took a 5 minute ride via Lyft to UTC La Jolla AMC and was able to get great seats at an IMAX theater to watch Odyssey a 3 hour movie. Theater 13 wasn't as hugh as I expected but the comfy reclining seats centered to the screen was great. The seats were comfy and theater was clean, with not too many people inside. Service by the staffers was just ok. It would have been better if there was a manager onsite, because there were some kids running around the lobby without parental supervision. I like kids playing but not in a lobby with marble floors, where there can be a potential slip and fall and some kid hurts themselves. A manager or some staffer should have some oversight. The concessions guy who helped me with the kiosk which inconveniently froze its screen must have done this before because he fixed it. Afterwards, I witnessed him washing his hands before getting my bottled water, I did thank him for his help. The movie: Odyssey had received great reviews, for director, actors and actresses, storyline and the cinematography. I enjoyed the many geographical scenes, which were spectacular on the 70mm screen, along with Dolby sound system. Was disappointed that this theater doesn't offer a more elevated luxury experience by offering better food and drinks service with a press of a button. The IPIC theater in Westwood Los Angeles does and IPIC theaters throughout the LA county, even if it costs more, the convenience and service during a 3 hour movie can justify the costs. With so many high end retail shops opening here at UTC, there are lots of people who are willing to splurge $$$$ for a better movie theater experience. This AMC theater at UTC La Jolla is not bad can be improved.

I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME THAT I ENDED UP CANCELING MY AMC MEMBERSHIP!!!…read more The experience here was just that good, and the customer service was truly top tier. I ordered a small popcorn and had to wait a few minutes for a fresh batch to be ready. Personally, I think that's completely reasonable because I'd much rather wait a few minutes for hot, fresh popcorn than receive something that's been sitting around. The employee still apologized for the wait, even though it was something completely outside of her control, and then went above and beyond by giving me a large popcorn for the short wait. I genuinely felt like we waited a very appropriate amount of time, so that gesture really stood out to me. It showed how much they care about making sure customers have a great experience. The theater itself was huge, the seats were incredibly comfortable, and the parking lot was super easy and convenient. Everything about the visit was smooth and enjoyable. I truly had the time of my life here and left feeling very impressed. Between the comfortable theater, fresh food, convenient parking, and especially the amazing customer service, Edwards Regal definitely earned all five stars from me. I'll absolutely be coming back for every movie!!

The Lot is very unique in that they not only serve as a movie theater, but have a full-service dinner and bar area as well. Adjoining ASA Bakery is also on-site, serving creative, too-pretty-to-eat pastries and matcha drinks. Honestly, the $24 price tag for a movie experience might seem steep, but other movies theaters are in and around that price anyways. At The Lot, at least you're getting comfortable, plush seats, a seemingly private viewing experience with your partner in your recline-ready love seat, food and drink wait service at your seat (if you desire it), and superb picture with okay enough sound. On that note, some cons: -We recently watched The Odyssey and some of the scenes were blaringly LOUD to the point where my ears felt like they could bleed. They do not divulge their sound system either, only that it's "high-end". The sound could definitely use better balance. -Mentioned love seats are very apparent upon booking now, making selection easy with no confusion. The theaters do cater to them so if you're in a group, you'll feel far from them. -Try as we might to pay in person, we could not avoid the service fee applied to all sales. Service fees are my biggest gripe, enough to teeter this rating. The atmosphere though is rather spectacular, so some things are to be ignored. -No true matinee prices unless you're a member. $20-22, otherwise, on Wednesday's for non-members.

I really enjoy the experience of The Lot, but between this location and the one on Liberty Station,…read morethe service always leaves something to be desired. Each visit (three separate occasions), something I've ordered was either forgotten or brought out very late. On this particular visit (Fri, July 3rd), I went to see a movie for my birthday. Unfortunately, due to public transportation, I was unable to make it to the theater as early as I wanted. My movie started @ 1:30, but I didn't make it inside until about 1:40 or so. The trailers were still playing, but the lights were off inside and the other guests seemed to already have their food/drinks. So, I attribute some of the mishap to that. However, there were less than ten people in the theater. So, keep that in mind as well. I ordered poke nachos, a popcorn, and a soda. Pretty simple order, right? My "host" brought out the popcorn + drink pretty swiftly. The popcorn tasted stale, just like another time I'd visited. Even though I'm pretty sure their 1:30 movies are their first showing. About halfway through the movie, I pressed the call button because I still hadn't received my nachos. The host said, "They might be ready now. Let me check." Translation: "I forgot them." That was pretty annoying. Especially as this is the third time something like this has occurred at The Lot. And I've only been three times in total. Luckily, the popcorn was free because it was my birthday, which I had to remind the host twice before he tried charging me. Do not order it unless you enjoy stale popcorn. The nachos and ginger ale were tasty, though. Overall, the vibe/setup is nice for viewing films. I only which the service and attention to detail was better.

My only complaints were that the food tray attached to the chair was angled, so I couldn't really put my food on it without worrying it would slide off. Also, the armrest doesn't lift, so you can't really cuddle up with your movie buddy. Overall, though, we had a great experience and would definitely come back!

I was excited to attend a movie here on Tuesday where they have half price showings. They had about…read morefour people on staff and the kiosk to buy a ticket were spotty in operation... stating a decline before giving a chance to swipe or tap. I didn't see half price reflected on the screen. My movie started in two minutes, and I was here on Tuesday to take advantage of the offer. I was told I'd have to pay full price for the movie unless I was a member and the only way to become a member was to go online. I wasn't directed to scan a barcode or anything. I just searched up the place on my phone and cell service was slow, so it took me a few minutes to register with their questionnaire and confirmation. We are now five minutes past the movie starting time and the kiosk aren't working. I can't pay for the half price ticket . Out of the four people behind the counter there's only one actively serving customers . I approach one to complain and tell them that I need to buy a ticket and that I'm late to my movie and that the kiosk are not working . Instead of offering to check me out, she asked me which one of the kiosk isn't working and goes over there . She was rude at my every question . I just want to pay the Tuesday rate and see a movie. It shouldn't be this hard ! So it's 10 minutes past movie starting time and I found myself waiting in line trying to buy a ticket. There still is only one person actively serving customers . I walk up to the counter and ask one of the two others who are just chatting behind the counter if they could sell me a ticket . I let them know that I was very disappointed with the experience at the theater so far I'm getting the machine to even accept a swipe or tap at the counter took a couple minutes ... To add to the experience, one of the crew members asked me 8 mins if I wanted to just buy a full price ticket... I had no response. I got into my movie after it started. I have no idea how much of it I missed. But it was good. I recommend verity. It seems like this theater is trying to make the experience quick and convenient with the kiosks, but it was anything but. I recommend an updated system that actually works reliably along with a way to sign up for their membership in store with way less questions to answer. The pricing seems decent for food. Watching a movie in the actual movie theater was comfortable. Getting to theater and to the bathroom afterward was not. The one bathroom was extremely crowded after the movie got out. I didn't feel like standing outside the door, so I just left and went to the bathroom at sprouts. This spot is a "no-go" for me, but you might like it. I will try other options in the area before ever returning. Them requiring you to provide them with your gender ZIP Code movie preferences email phone number,etc, before offering a discount on their Tuesday movies is an inconvenient information grab. That delayed me enjoying the movie made me never want to return and it was completely unnecessary. Without that, I might've enjoyed the movie come back and join the membership for rewards all on my own regularly on Tuesdays...

My seat G4 did not recline so we asked for assistance, and an employee checked out the chair. He pulled it out from the wall & flipped it over & wow, there was so much popcorn & debris behind the chair. Yikes! Anyway, he fiddled with it & flipped it back over & it reclined. Yay! But then my friend who was supposed to sit in G3 canceled last minute. I purchased the tickets for everyone so I went to the guest services desk to explain the situation, and Robert kindly processed a refund for that ticket without an issue. Very much appreciated! The employee scanning tickets at the entrance was also very nice. The 3:15 pm movie started at 3:43pm after 7 previews and a few commercials. When the movie began, the picture quality & sound were great. We enjoyed the film and we would come back to this theater. I just won't think about what is behind the seats! There are alcoholic drinks available at MacGuffins & the usual concessions are on offer at the concessions stand. They also have several of those soda machines with the touch screens where you can choose from hundreds of different soft drinks! We didn't purchased any treats this time because we'd just eaten at Shake Shack down the street, but the prices seemed reasonable. There's plenty of parking in the underground lot & the bathrooms, while still dated, were clean and functional. In my previous review, I mentioned the renovations happening in the mall. Well, they're done & the mall looks great. There's new beautiful flooring, lots of colorful & aesthetic planters, a grassy area for kids to play & folks to rest and lots of interesting businesses. In fact, there's a Kura Revolving Sushi across from the theater! So what are you waiting for? Time for sushi & a movie! :) Peace.

I went to the 1230 showing and Tuesday and Wednesday so I think it's half price in any case. I also got a senior discount added to the already Tuesday discount and I only paid $8.89 for my ticket.

I wasn't sure if I would like the movie since it is so long, but it completely held my attention, especially when I got to see the Greek mythology portions that I remember from reading in my seventh grade social studies classes. Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway did great jobs as Odysseus and Penelope and I thought the cast was very good. There were quite a few people in the theater and the ticket.

I was interested in this one because I heard it has rocking chairs. I really love the vibe of this AMC. It's vintage and very beach theme. I don't think I've ever been to AMC that's themed, so that was cool. I didn't get any food so I can't say anything about that but the theater we walked into was a bit old, which is OK. It's also bigger than I expected. It even had a downstairs area. The rocking chairs were also OK, not my favorite. We were seated right behind a guard rail, and I think that's the only way to enjoy the rocking chairs AMC. My favorite thing about this place was the restroom. I appreciated how big and clean the restrooms were. I especially loved that they offer free tampons and pads!
