1st Review Went to see the Barbie movie. It was decent. I definitely won't see it again. It's always cold in the theater room so and I forgot a sweater, so I was freezing for 2 hours, but it's also 80° outside, so I can't complain too much. Was in room 3, my college had a private room for this showing. The chairs weren't the best and were close together. I'm more used to IMAX or Dolby chairs, but since no one was in front of me, I just put my feet up on the chair in front of me. ***UPDATE: 2nd Review I attended an early screening of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which will be released on Disney+ in two days. The first two episodes were great, and I am excited to watch the rest of the series. I even got to meet the author of the original book series and received free popcorn and a drink. At the end of the screening, we were given posters and shirts like the ones worn at the camp. However, the audience was a bit annoying with their constant shouting at every little thing that happened. There were no cameras present, so the screaming was uncalled for.
Theater with easy access to the T. Seats were no recliners, but comfortable and could see screen really well. Was happy to see a movie with an early release date here.
Take the T for a short walk to the theater. Food choices are above average and staff are pleasant and helpful. Lots of comfortable seating with chairs that lean back and armrests that move up so you can cuddle. Big screens, great sound, clean bathrooms--you can't go wrong!6
I was here today to watch Star wars, and there were no reclining seats, the place just felt super old and greasy, and the projector was broken, so it kept flickering red blue and green squares in random spots on the screen. The employees were all pleasant so I guess they have that going for them.
I love this place, and all new released movies are shown here! The IMAX experience is amazing and must watch. They have movie shows from world wide releases. Movie starts 15-20 Min after the ticket mentioned time. Buy tickets online or via AMC app. Almost no waiting time. Limited food options are served. 50 meters from BOYLSTON T station. Tons of restaurants options nearby to eat after the movie. Go here for your next movie.
Some context first, I came here while on family vacation in Boston. This is certainly not the quality venue I expect from an AMC. You can tell whomever is running the place either doesn’t care about cleanliness standards or is way short staffed for them to keep up. I have never seen an AMC this dirty and neglected. Everything was sticky, popcorn literally everywhere under the counter, behind the counter, etc. The actual movie, sound, totally fine but this place grossed us out. Not pictured below, the equally dirty carpets. This place needs to shutdown for a few days and get some professional cleaners in here ASAP.
This theater is outdated, doesn't smell good, and feels dirty. I get that they're trying to preserve history, but it comes at a cost. And it's been 10 years since I sat on old movie theater seats. No recliners in the theater I was in. The only thing that this place has going for it is the location.
This is my go-to big theatre. Would recommend purchasing tickets online prior to arriving as seats tend to go fast. They have a bar indoors with very expensive but fun drinks. Usually very clean with lots of restrooms near the theatres.
I have never been so frustrated with a movie theater. Uncomfortable seats, annoying policy of scanning tickets every single time you need to go to a different part of the theatre, and just in general it’s confusing. So many people crowding the entryway being like, “wait ok what? Where do we go?” But I will say, very clean bathrooms, and looked like a vintage theater— plus people were generally nice. I still hated my experience here, and if you’re in a rush trying to make your movie on time I would say stay away from this place. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by Assembly Row, but would definitely recommend that over this place! No thanks!
The theatre is conviently located near dining and other entertainment options across from the Boylston T stop. The building inside is dirty and worn. The escalators and floors were showing wear and dirt. We were there on a Friday at 4pm, before the crowd arrived for the day. The men's bathroom was HEINOUSLY gross. It smelled like stale pee. Urinals had pee on the floor around them. A paper towel dispenser was empty or broken. The bathroom appeared to not have been cleaned in at least a day or two. Yuck. The theatre was nice, easy to navigate and the chairs were comfortable. We were in a regular theatre #8 for the Taylor Swift Eras concert movie. Big positive- The staff were so pleasant and helpful. At the snack bar, I appreciated their navigation of the special commemorative containers, price, sizes, options. Incredibly kind and patient. After the movie, the theatre cleaning staff were also very nice. One traded a friendship bracelet with my daughter. Really great experience. Glad we went to an early showing. Wish the building had been cleaner especially the men's bathroom.
