AMC Garden State 16

Better than most but it's still AMC. This theatre has traditional movie theatre seats, compared to the reclining seats some have, so it's up to the movie goer if that's a problem or not. The lobby is very pretty though, and the theaters are nicely sized. Though when I went to Thor there, the floor in the auditorium was really sticky, and the speakers were thin sounding. Lacked the punchiness I'd want from theater speakers, but that could be just me. Overall, not a bad theater, better than AMC palisades.

The workers are very slow. They disappeared for over 5 minutes when there were dozens of people waiting in line. Overpriced food. Popcorn was 12 dollars, one drink was 8 dollars, and water was 5 dollars. They didn't even have ice and the sodas went flat.

Nice theater. Good location. I like the large lobby area with the classic movie quotes on the floor and the montage of classic movie characters above. You can order tickets at the kiosks or at the ticket counter. For a 1st day showing of a highly rated film, i recomend buying tickets online (fandago etc) so you reserve the exact seats long before you arrive at the mall and theater. Lots of overpriced food and drinks. But also just upstairs from mall foodcourt, so you have lots of options. Screens are all nice and big. They have an imax too. Some of the theaters here have classic seats and some have leather recliners. All have excellent speakers and sound systems. All have excellent picture quality. Minimal sound bleed from adjacent screens. Theater 5 has stadium seats so tall people in front of you will probably not block your view so much. Arrive at least 40 mins before showtime due to long lines for tickets. Drink selection is really bad! Its a row of Freestyle machines which are usually out of stock of most flavors, and no matter what drink you ask for, it will not taste good since it will be mixed with all the past flavors that came out of the same tubes and spout. Warning; they have no real iced tea. The tea tgey serve is a disgusting flavor made with fake sugar. Really bad! The Seagrams Ginger Ale also tastes strange and disgusting. Again most likely due to the dumb Freestyle machine that mixes all flavors imadvertantly due to how it was built. Water is just $6 per bottle with tax 🙂 Pros: Good screens Good sound Lots of screens Lots of food & drink options Good seats Stadium seats on some screens Imax screen Good location near food court Plenty of parking Free parking Cons: Ticket prices can be a bit high depending on movie and days past the release date Food & drink prices are absurd. Just eat outside before or after movie in mall foodcourt instead

I’m a big fan of AMC theaters, but for some reason, the auditorium 9 has not recliner chairs and the seats were not 100% comfortable! Maybe because I watched kinda old movie, and they do have recliners for new ones!! But apart from this, I love AMC!
