Casi HochkeppelJuly 8, 2016Great service! Get there early or use the computerized ticket machines(when they work). Buy some snacks too they make the whole movie experience special!Upvote25Downvote
Mall parking can get a little zooy around the theater, but they have a good slate of films. If you want affordable, try for the matinees.Upvote21Downvote
Harold GarciaMay 5, 2014When looking for parking look at the strip of green lights indicate empty parking spaces and red for full parking spaces. There's a screen at the end that tells you how many are available.

leave a LOT of time to get there in time for the movie, parking is tough there, especially near Xmas season. make reservations for grand lux before your movie.Upvote11Downvote
Another indication of the pure gluttony that is the Garden State Plaza. But it IS a very nice movie theater, which is always good to have. Having a Stubs card certainly helps.Upvote5Downvote
Dolby Atmos, IMAX with reserved seating. Up to date accommodations and offers large format theaters. Get their loyalty card it absolutely pays itself off in just a few visits with tons of extras.UpvoteDownvote
It's my favorite movie theater in the area. Good seats, not very crowded despite being close to garden state plaza. Check out their Dolby @AMC. The best movie experienceUpvoteDownvote
Really comfortable seats and great viewing experience. Avoid coming here on weekends as the lines are really long and the theatre and mall are filled with teenagers.Upvote1Downvote
Jhonni LimaSeptember 7, 2013Popcorn. The whole place smells like popcorn which is a bit disgusting. However the 3D rooms are amazing and experience it's really goodUpvote5Downvote
Try this if you go with multiple people: buy 1 large popcorn and 1 large soda (refills on larges are free). Have a girl put a few paper lunch bags and cups in her purse. Fill everybody up and refill.Upvote3Downvote
Juan EstrellaAugust 8, 2014Great place for a date as long as you can find parking. The parking lot has green lights indicating open spots.

Bill, one of the theater managers here is the king of movie knowledge and you should count yourself lucky if you get to be at one of his q&a sessions before your movie starts...Upvote1Downvote
NikkaAugust 5, 2010Great movie theater, cheap ass tickets before noon, but don't expect to find parking within the mall's proximity. Park in one of the parking buildings by the department stores and walk through the malUpvote2Downvote
- The theater itself is great. Clean auditoriums, good sound. But get there early if you want to buy anything at concession stand. The slowest people you will ever find are behind the counter.Upvote6Downvote
Dave SossonJanuary 19, 2013So insane here on a Sat nite. Must be the apex of the universe. My tip is to valet park. It's only $5 and you can get your keys back and get car yourself.UpvoteDownvote
Be there an hour early if its a new release. But the top notch sound & projection and cool lobby make up for long lines and twenty-five minutes of previews.UpvoteDownvote- Erving OrtizJuly 14, 2012Avengers was very good. Considering it featured multiple "superheroes", the film manages to interweave the plot and each heroes input to preserving peace and freedom on earth. Cliche but entertaining.UpvoteDownvote
$7.50 tickets before noon (up from $6). Best to go on Sundays when the area stores are all closed, thus no traffic and easy parking!Upvote1Downvote
Mary-Irene MarekMarch 2, 2013Seating along large main aisles is perfect for kids who need to stand or move around a lot during the film.UpvoteDownvote
Great AMC, it’s very large and the lines are never awful.Upvote1Downvote
Meagan LooJuly 6, 2015Always a great place to see movies although parking sucks cause the mall is always crowded.UpvoteDownvote
You know you want to go for those Watermelon sour patch! (But only if you don't have a craving for chocolate right now!)Upvote2Downvote

Sergey BirioukovApril 9, 201212am on Thursday/Friday is when you can watch all new movies before rest see it on Friday night when it's packed.Upvote1Downvote
To move concession lines, I recommend that AMC staff concessions with money handlers and order fillers. We're trying to get to a movie, people... these lines are slow as balls!UpvoteDownvote
$6 for all shows before 12 noon daily. Want to see the new flicks for cheap without the crowd? Try weekend mornings.Upvote7Downvote
Definetly worth going early $6.00 movie tickets and no one is around I LOVE IT!!!!UpvoteDownvote- Get the stubs card.. help out with rediculous prices.. only $12 a yrUpvote1Downvote

KenitoJune 19, 2010Get here early for movie premiers, especially IMAX. Line was out into mall even an hour before the movie. A great theatre to see any movie.Upvote3Downvote

XimaDecember 29, 2012Sometimes can get away with buying a child ticket at the machine - they don't always check when they let you through.UpvoteDownvote
If you have the option to buy your tickets ahead of time, please do. This theater gets packed on Fridays & Saturdays. When new releases come out.Upvote3Downvote
People acting stupid and getting in fights over seats. 2 separate parties This is why I rent. AMC handled it as well as they could to their credit.UpvoteDownvote
Hamoud AlDabbousJune 3, 2016Decent cinema with good prices. Didn't like their popcorn but overall it's goodUpvoteDownvote
Stubs card is worth it if you watch lots of moviesUpvote1Downvote
