Worst

A great place to see a movie in a poorly designed shoebox with sound that goes over your head and a distorted screen. Add the crowds of bozos who flock there and the AMC logo and...

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/13/2014

A good movie theater. First night releases are really busying though. To beat the line buy your ticket at the self serve kiosk. This theater does offer showing for enhance audio and visual experience. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/1/2014

The parking here is really sketchy and inconvenient. I'm sure the staff includes some great people but most of the employees I encountered were unfriendly and rude, and acted as if they had a grudge against me and my family for no good reason. The seat I sat down in was soaked wet with some soda drink and when I went to the bathroom to clean up, there was vomit all over two of the sinks. When I informed the bathroom cleaner/attendant, she told me that there was nothing she could do because her shift was ending in 10 minutes. I was very disappointed with this AMC. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 2/1/2014

I really like AMC theaters but the customer service here was pretty bad. I am black and when I bought my ticket, the blonde lady at the counter gave me a ""reminder"" that the ticket was only for one movie and that when it was over I had to leave and couldn't watch another without buying another ticket. I was confused as to why she was telling me this so I said ""what?"" and she repeated her ""reminder"" in a Jamaican accent and called me ""mon."" I'm not even from Jamaica. more

best theater in LA 12/29/2011

One of the better theaters in LA. The tickets can be a bit pricey, but compared to other theaters in Burbank/Downtown LA its not THAT bad. The place is pretty upkept and clean. Each theater is pretty big and has amazing seating no matter where it is you sit, not to mention the chairs themselves are rather comfortable. Especially if its not that packed you can lift the armrest up and kinda lay down. Probably the best IMAX theater I've been to as well. more

Love the Ambiance, Hate the Parking 6/29/2009

We love the experience once we are there but the parking is often difficult. With that in mind we went today, early evening on a Monday, to avoid the madness. The experience was great until we got back to our car and someone smashed the back corner. Few grand is what that night will cost us. Burbank needs to work on the problems of parking and security. I am hoping they had cameras rolling so we can catch the culprit on video tape. Pros: Really great theatres, food choices, entertaining Cons: Someone Crashed our Car and Bailed more

Good movie theater experience 5/28/2008

It was the first time I have ever been to the movies since I arrived in the US (I have never been to the US before) and I really have enjoyed it! Generally I think that this is a pretty pricey kind of entertainment--also in Europe. Nevertheless the theater was provided with comfortable seats, the sound was not too loud and the theater hall was conveniently arranged. I liked the beverage container holder attached to every seat. It was nice to experience that people don't go to the late night show only. Pros: Comfortable seats, sound not too loud Cons: A sort of overpriced more

in burbank ... the only game in town 11/28/2007

i can actually remember when there weren't movie theaters in burbank, then there was the first amc in the late 80s, finally we didn't have to go to noho or glendale anymore for movies. now there are like 30 screens in 3 locations! crazy. these are pretty good theaters. i think movies are overpriced in general, but they've proven to the backbone of revitalizing this area. the film strip guy that comes on before each movie is cute. Pros: comfortable seats, Cons: prices, parking more

Sparkling New Word-Class Megaplex 4/25/2007

Despite surrounding construction, AMC's flagship Burbank theatre is a beautiful, convenient, and comfortable experience. Multi-tiered mega-stadiums show the newest blockbusters. A reliable place for lively, multi-screen midnight openings. Great, diverse restaurants surround the giant theatre. A short walk to the 3-story Media Center mall. One of the best summer blockbuster theatres in the entire Metro L.A. area. Pros: One of the Great AMC's Cons: Like walking up to the US Capitol if the escalators are out more

Best theater in Burbank 11/13/2006

This may actually be my favorite theater overall in the greater LA area. Now that I think of it, most other places I'm used to have terrible parking or little in the way of variety in nearby shops. Even on weekends, there's usually free parking in one of the many mall lots nearby, and a ton of restaurants. The theater itself is large, clean, and the screens are giant and the seats excellent. When I can't make it to the westside, I usually end up here. more

in need of some tlc 11/13/2006

while the rest of burbank was being torn down, the amc threatre moved a few yards north and rose from the rubble. however, three years and millions of viewers later, the theatre is back to a state of needing a little more tlc. Pros: movie selection Cons: still not enough theatres of an opening night more

Best Neighborhood Theater 11/6/2006

This theater has great sound, over-sized comfortable seats with liftable arm rests and is very well-maintained. They serve only Tostitos brand nachos which (I think) are excellent. I try to catch the first and second shows on the weekends to avoid the big crowds. The first show is around 10:30am and there are several self-serve ticket kiosks available. There's a big parking lot but if that's full, you can park at the mall and walk one block over. Speaking of which, the best shopping and junk food is right there and they don't harrass you for bringing food with you. Fuddrucker's, ColdStone Creamery, Starbucks, Urban Outfitters and Ross are browsing distance if you need something to do while waiting for a movie to start. If free movie screenings are your thing, there are always people offering flyers for the coming week. If you want to avoid crowds, don't go on a Friday or Saturday after 7pm. Pros: Clean, Comfortable, Early/discount shows Cons: Mainstream films only more

Best for the Burbs 6/1/2006

I don't consider this an "Event" theatre like Mann's Chinese, Fox or Bruin but, overall, this is one of the best theatres for comfort and visuals. I end up seeing most of my movies here because of its location. My only pet peeve is how busy it gets on the weekends but seeing a flick on the weekdays or early weekend afternoons tempers this. The theatres have stadium seating, the visuals always look good and the sound is great. You can also lift the arm rails if you prefer. Definitely one of my favorties for the suburbs of Los Angeles. Pros: Stadium seating, Quality video & sound Cons: Lots of people more
