Reviews

This is absolutely the dirtiest, cramped, and run down theatre I have visited.  For all the press about 70mm imax, imax should be appalled to have this as 1 of its signature properties in the US.  It is hard to find seats, small seats, and bad lighting. Very disappointing.

Most of it was great! The concessions didn't take long. The lobby, bathrooms, and theater were all clean. Those seats, though! Lost 2 stars for the seats. I didn't know any theater still used the shared armrest seating. The sound and screen were AMAZING!!

Nice place! It gets cold inside so bring a blanket if you're normally cold. Concessions were very good,nice selections.

Movies have always been a tradition for my family. AMC is a great company. I would like to see a few things addressed here. We went to the IMAX today. The theater had a smell. The carpet looked dirty and needed a cleaning or replaced. The seat I sat in was broken, and the arm rest felt sticky. The restrooms needed some TLC as well. The theater was cold and made it difficult to watch the movie comfortably. There were 2 guys on staff that didn't appear to be happy to work there. I am an investor, and this experience at the IMAX didn't help to instill confidence in the success of AMC. We can get there, but we need to address the opportunities.

This is my 3rd time going to the IMAX theater and overall I had a good experience. The picture quality was excellent and the sound was very immersive. However, I had a few minor issues.  First, the seat numbering was difficult to see. The numbers were small and hard to read, especially in the dark. This made it difficult to find my seat.  Second, the parking garage was difficult to get to after the movie was over.  The mall closes off certain sections so it was like a maze to try to get to your car!  Also, if you do park in the mall's partaking garage, don't forget that you can get your parking ticket validated!  Overall, I would recommend the IMAX theater in San Antonio, but be aware of the seating and parking issues. If you are going to a late-night showing, I would recommend arriving early so you have plenty of time to find your seat and get to your car.  I hope this helps!

After many weeks of anticipation, and due to the amount of reviews stating that the movie theater would not play due to technical difficulties, I am happy that I got to enjoy watching Oppenheimer in 70 MM in IMAX. That's what I wanted. My priorities were on watching it how it was intended to be watched, and I enjoyed it. Yes, the seats were outdated and not reclinable, and we were a bit crammed. In the end, I got what I wanted. Even after driving for hours, I got to watch and enjoy the movie without any technical difficulties.

Excellent service. Very clean facilities. I just saw Oppenheimer at 70mm IMAX.  There was a woman in our reserved seats that refused to leave but the issue was resolved quickly and with such patience and kindness from the employees! Was very worried about how the rest of the experience would be but it went off without a hitch. Picture looked beautiful, sound was synced perfectly. Seats were slightly uncomfortable and might need to be updated soon but other than that, we had an amazing experience at this theater! I hope we can come again soon.

Very dirty! Most seats are torn. I know it's not their fault it's mostly the customers.  For a movie theater being downtown it's disgusting. You would think it would be a very clean nice place being that a lot of tourist visit downtown but nope. I don't recommend. The young gentleman workers were very nice. That was the only good thing.

Theater validates parking tickets by giving you a sticker with a bar code,  however upon exiting the parking garage we got a message that the bar code was invalid as it had already been used the day before at 3:11pm.  We called the theater to complain/inform them but they would never answer the phone.  So if you go, don’t be shocked if the garage validation sticker they give you has already been used. We ended up paying an extra $17 for parking that we shouldn’t have had to pay.

Air is super stale and damp in the theaters. Chairs are very uncomfortable and small. When it says IMAX you're not getting the full experience unless it specifically says 70MM/4:3 format so you're just seeing a movie on a screen slightly larger than a normal movie theater.
