AMC Altamonte Mall 18

This place must have gotten a facelift! It is so nice & new!
The theaters are big with plenty of seating. We came on an opening weekend so it was pretty busy, coming early seems to be key! They don’t have select your seat just yet so we saw some theaters set up a line outside before people went in.
Really clean too! I’m happy with the new changes!

Got the opportunity to check this place out as had won tickets to see the movie, «Eddie the Eagle» thanks to Gofobo. It’s a nice movie complex, well laid out and very clean (including the bathrooms!). Since the showing was on a Tuesday night, the place wasn’t too busy so parking close to the entrance was a breeze. (however did encounter line in the ladies loo, despite how many stalls were available).
The seats were super comfy and omg — their surround system was perfect! It didn’t blast away my ears, as has happened in some other local theaters I have been too. Plus plenty of ample space in front of seats meant it wasn’t a narrow squeeze or bumping into folks feet/​legs when walking to our seats in the middle.
However not a perfect 5-​star expereince as the food options available were all geared towards sugar/​salt/​fat. The people sitting next to me got that extra buttered popcorn, and the chemicals of the fake butter smell were just plain odious :-(
Wish there were healthy snack options, otherwise it was great expereince and will return.

Clean establishment with very warm and friendly staff. Large screens and warm popcorn.

I pre paid online with Fandango so I would not have to wait in the line and be able to smoothly enter my movie on time and hopefully get good seats I was as I was with a very hot date. Unfortunately the machine was not in agreement with me and said air tickets not found I tried this again and again even going as far as to entering the confirmation number that was in the email. People behind me were getting inpatient saying curse words you name it made me very uncomfortable ultimately I had to go inside to the manager who actually told me to wait a minute as he was helping another guest I finally and ultimately resolve the situation when he wrote his name on a piece of paper saying please let into movie based on this they get 4 out of 5 stars please fix your ticketing system with San Diego thank you

great experience

This theater used to be good. I’m not sure what has happened in the past couple years but service and the food quality has suffered. Just got done bringing undercooked chicken fingers back twice. I ate some of the fries so they didn’t replace them either just the chicken. Fries were cold and inedible. no ketchup cups to put it in at the condiment station so I asked for one and he gave me a small soda cup. I said to two employees there was nothing to put ketchup in and each time one of my group went to the stations they hadn’t stocked them and ketchup was empty in one of them. The stations by the way are continuously filthy and rarely cleaned. It’s easy to tell by looking at the ketchup dispenser. Gave up because waited at the counter to see a manager or any adult, so I went back to the line I was in. Challenge for you. Find an adult in here.

Mad Max: Fury Road was one movie I did not get a chance to see over the summer. And this was one movie that I really wanted to see, especially having seen the original Mad Max/​Road Warrior films starring Mel Gibson. So when I saw that AMC Altamonte Mall 18 had a screening of this film in their IMAX 3D theater, I was about as excited as a five year old on Christmas Eve.
So here I am, on a Wednesday afternoon, sitting in a cinema with my 3D glasses on watching Mad Max, when suddenly, the screen goes dark and the fire alarm goes on. Really?!
Having to evacuate the theater along with other patrons, we waited out front while the fire department came to the emergency call. Even though me and several patrons were upset about having to be interrupted during the showing of the film we came to see, everyone was understanding about having to leave the theater in a emergency. This AMC theater is looking out for the safety of their patrons and employees, which comes first. Following the orders of the fire department, a manager of AMC cinema made the announcement that the cinema would be closed until further notice and proceeded to distribute passes to the theater goers to come back for another screening.
So I used my pass for a screening this afternoon, and the box office attendant accepted my pass with no questions asked and issued me a ticket for the 12:45 showing of Mad Max: Fury Road. And as I gave the usher my ticket, he gave me back my ticket stub and told me that it was nice to see me again. And it was nice to see you again too. Especially after remembering that the film presented is in 3D and providing me with the necessary glasses for viewing the film.
The ticket price for the IMAX 3D screening is $ 17.50. Pricey, but it is not like you can view a film at home on a IMAX screen. And it is not as if I view a 3D film all the time. The only other movies I have seen in 3D was Avatar and Gravity. And both of those films were worth watching in 3D. Include the IMAX experience, and this is movie going at its finest. D.W. Griffith would have loved to have this technology available when filming his epics.
The cost of a large soda is $ 6.00.
Other than the inconvenience of having a fire alarm, I am happy about having the opportunity of watching Mad Mad: Fury Road on the IMAX 3D screen. And I am happy about the AMC cinema making good on making up for any problems their patrons experienced.
And I will most likely come back to this cinema to see the upcoming The Walk in October.
That will be one movie to experience in IMAX 3D. Especially after seeing the trailer.
And I am feeling like that five-​old on Christmas Eve again.

Reviewing the concessions area.
I still can not comprehend the prices charged at theaters for soft drinks and popcorn. Perhaps if they reduced the gallon-​sized small drinks and bushel of popcorn, they could make it more affordable. Try to order a child’s size drink and they won’t sell it to you unless you get the combo.
I like that they have changed to the self-​service soft drink fountain.
Theatre was clean and restrooms were well used (you know what I mean).

BEST THEATRE EVER! The action and adventure is limited to the actual movie you see but the service and amenities are the best! They have a bar that serves perfectly measured drinks for adults, those awesome new coca cola machines that let you choose as any varieties of flavors as you can stand and an AMAZING selection at concessions… and AMC stubs members get half off movies on Tuesdays. BEST EVER

This is one of the nicer movie theaters in Central Florida. The theaters are large, clean, and the seats are spacious and comfortable. Outside, there is always plenty of surface parking as well as a parking garage.

Very nice. Clean bathrooms, good food at the concessions, and nice staff. They also have a life blood bus outside that gives you an option to give blood for a movie ticket. That was pretty cool.

I think today was my first experience at this theatre. The staff was courteous. The screen was huge. More importantly, well most importantly, the chairs in the theatre were super comfortable. They recline and are cushiony. I’ll be choosing this theatre over and over again. My butt is super happy with my decision.

Every weekend the ticket machines on the right are out of paper!
1. Do a better job of checking them on a regular basis especially Fri — Sun
OR
2. Have the machines display a message before you go through the entire transaction to say it’s out of paper
I completed mine today and when it was time to print oops no paper. So then I had to waste time in another line getting my ticket and avoiding getting double charged.

This is a pretty nice theatre. There is covered parking up front… if can find a spot but it’s nice on those hot or raining days. Other than there is ample of parking since it’s adjacent to the mall. The staff is always friendly and the theatre is always clean, everything from the ticket and snack booth, to the bathrooms and theatre rooms. They have an Imax here which is usually my favorite choice especially when in 3D however that can be pricy at $ 16.50 a person. The sound systems are top of the line and sound perfect and not scratchy which I love love love. Always playing the new releases on release date so they have the popular movies everyone has been waiting for… oh and for those 21+ they have a full bar here… mmmm

Service was professional and nice. Theater was clean, and felt more intimate in size. The restrooms needed attention. You can walk across the parking lot inside the Altamonte mall. They also have a full bar when you first walk in.

This is my favorite amc theater in Orlando. Granted Friday nights were usually packed with high school kids but what are you going to do. Staff is well trained and always attentive. Theaters are always clean and they have a bar. What more can a movie goer ask for.

I had passes for a free movie screening last month, and like Cecille R. mentioned in her review, felt misled. I arrived very early, because it stated on the pass that seating was not guaranteed, but was turned away at the door along with dozens of other people.
I live very far away from this theater, and was extremely disappointed. It seemed as if way too many passes were given out because I was there more than 30 minutes early and there was a very large number of us being turned away.
The manager seemed understanding of our disappointment, and asked all of us who didn’t get in to write down our e-​mail address and we would be compensated in some way. Well, after more than a week passed with no such e-​mail, I contacted AMC through Twitter, and they asked for my e-​mail and said they contacted the mgmt of the theater and I would be hearing back soon. That was almost two weeks ago, and I have yet to hear anything. I’m disappointed by their broken promise to make up for our wasted trip.

What a nice theater & it even has a full service bar inside! Who knew?!? A bar inside a movie theater?! That’s my kind of theater! The seats are not the most comfortable I’ve ever had the experience of sitting in at a theater but the popcorn is super fresh & the aroma hits your senses the second you open the front door. This location has a super soda machine that most newer restaurants now have with probably about 60 options, as well as an ICEE machine with 3 flavor options. I noticed besides the traditional popcorn & nachos, this location also serves hot dogs, pizza, pretzels, & mozzarella sticks! Say word! For $ 50 two of you can get see a movie & buy some nice treats. Please note the sarcasm. The price of a large popcorn ($ 8.50) is practically almost as much as the price of two matinée ($ 13.50) tickets buts it’s pretty much impossible to not get the popcorn, even though the smell is alwats better than the taste… but that’s at any theater; the popcorn was damn good though. The sound system was superb & the movie «Into the Woods» was excellent! Is there anything Ms. Streep can’t do? Damn! Great movie & great experience with my mama :) good times had by all!

I LOVE this theater! They always have a great selection of movies for view, and the place is always clean.
They’ve recently put the fancy «Create your own» Coca Cola machines out in the lobby and quite frankly, can be the highlight of your pre-​movie routine since you can customize the type of beverage you’d like to drink.
Plenty of food options up front, and if you’re an AMC member, your earn cash back for what you spend! ($ 10 for every $ 100 spent) And last time I checked, everyone loves kick backs. :) hehe
The sound quality, seating, and cleanliness of the theater is on point, and is easily my favorite mainstream theater, and go-​to theater of choice. :)
Cheers!

This movie theater is definitely one of my go-​to since it is so close to me which is great! There are lots of parking spots, but if you’re trying to find one close by especially during a «opening weekend» event, good luck!
Every theater in the building is pretty spacious, which I love. I don’t like small theaters, yet alone feeling cramped in. The seats are comfy and can slightly recline back which is nice and a good thing since the aisle walk way is spacious, because we all know how hard it can be to get in and out through them without stepping on somebody’s foot.
Great theater and location, now go enjoy that movie!
