AMC Magic Johnson Harlem 9

I really enjoyed watching a movie here. It gets incredibly crowded, but it only adds to the experience as I love watching movies when everyone else reacts. It helps me get into it. Other than that, it's a really nice place and it's comfortable, too!

I really wish I'd read the reviews for this theatre prior to going. Went there to see a 'A Quiet Place' on a Tuesday night. The theatre itself is fine - it's big and honestly it looked pretty clean when I was there (didn't use the bathrooms tho). There's a little arcade area too in the place where you buy your tickets. The big issue came once the movie started. People KEPT TALKING. Normally I don't care if people talk during movies, but the movie I was watching was so quiet and meant to be super suspenseful. But some audience members kept commenting and talking to each other during the first 30 min. It was so frustrating. Other people would try to shush them but the talking audience members would either ignore them or get indignant. Really soured the experience for me. If you don't like people talking I'd suggest going on a day/time with less traffic.

Well, shockingly some improvements happened. New (working!) ticket machines were installed, on the 2nd floor. You can get tickets upstairs now, too. I came to see a movie here recently: opening weekend and the 3D movie theater was empty on a Friday morning! I never thought that I could see an empty theater in Manhattan. :) I'll be coming here more often. Mostly clean, can't complain. AMC, thank you for caring about Harlem.

Not as fancy as the one in times square but, it is worth it. Especially good for those who want to get tickets for cheap. They sell tickets for cheap for the early morning shows. However, the seating system at that place is a little bit uncomfortable and no one follows the reserved seating system rule inside. If you reserve a seat, don't expect to find it not filled if you don't get there early. Moreover, outside food is not allowed except they don't check your bag. Overall, it is a good place to have fun for cheap once in a while.

It was horrible. The staff was still cleaning the theater 10 minutes before the next showing. The entire theater floor was littered with trash and popcorn. The one aisle my friend and I wanted to sit in was slick and sticky. My friend is disabled. If I hadn't made in aware of the condition of the aisle, her might have fallen and incurred an injury. The restroom was even worse. The floor was sticky or wet in places; the area too wash your hands was unattended; some of the hand soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers were empty. Our community shouldn't have to settle for sub- standard conditions. Especially when you're paying almost $20.00 for a movie ticket. I'm appalled!!!
