AMC Chula Vista 10

I go here all the time and I don’t know why I haven’t written a review yet. I LOVE this AMC. Though I live near the AMC 24 which is much cheaper, I will always choose this one to go to. Top perks: You can reserve your seat in advance online, the reclining chairs are super comfy, the entire theatre is so clean, and the menu selection is pretty good compared to others. They also have a bar to serve alcoholic drinks if you want any, which is different and something I must try soon! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. One employee remembered me and my boyfriend because we go there so often! They let you bring outside drinks in. SWEET! Brought our coffee in one morning and no complaints or people telling us to throw it away. The seating is sofa style, so if you go by yourself, you might have to share your seat with another person. but there’s a divider in between so I guess that’s a con? You’ll see me soon AMC 10!

Overall experience: Positive. Great customer service, clean and extremely convenient. Thursday nights aren’t as crowded which I enjoyed. I’ll be returning soon!

First time here since it became an AMC. We saw a 10:15am Star Wars screening on a Friday.
The $ 6.29 ticket price was cheap for the ability to reserve your seats and watch in recliners.
The reclining seats weren’t a huge sell to me until I actually sat in them. It makes a difference! They were also clean as was the theatre.
We didn’t purchase food or drink. The bar opens after 12noon on weekdays. I spied a $ 9.50 charge for Sangria. I would trade out large popcorn and soda for one of those!
Four stars for the snack selection. I hope they can offer better snack choices in the future and if they offered a «happy hour» from the bar, this place would take off!
I also wish they had restroom facilities on the theatre side for those middle of the movie moments and to better service customers with kids.
Very enjoyable experience. I will definitely be back.

Bad experience bringing the kids. We were greeted by a lady who asked us to buy the tickets with some one on the register who clearly did not want to be here, the kid never looked in to our eyes while demanding to know where we wanted to be seated. We did not know what he was talking about until after he pointed out the screen in front of us. We have not been at this theater in years, since before it got purchased by AMC. The AMC personnel over at Dennery Rd. Should come to this place to give a little RR, some training…
Bad experience will not return

Love the recline seats! Employees were nice, restrooms were clean and the theater wasn’t crowded! Will be my go-​to theater in SD from now on.

Clean movie theater. Decently priced. Bar in the lobby. Never tried the food. Comfortable reclining leather lazy boy type chairs. Great location at the mall. My favorite part is the reserved seating. This is my go to theater!

fair prices for the extra perks (reserved seating/​nicer chairs)!
i think it’s great for high in demand movies, we watched star wars second weekend and it was a relaxing experience from start to finish!
buy your ticket online, reserve your seats (i like e-​section or above) it’s like buying a plane ticket your seat is waiting for you no need to come too early and there’s alcohol available and the usual amc food as well.

Love how they upgraded this theater ! And the buying the tickets online to reserve seating is far more convient.
The recling seats are soooo comfortable… so comfortable that I accidentally fell asleep during a movie… oops.

I may not like this mall, but this movie theater has got to be the best one in the South Bay (San Diego area). We finally have an affordable luxury theater in this part of San Diego.
Its a great place for a date because there are many places to eat, the movie tickets are reserved seating, they sell alcohol (21+), and you can cuddle next to your date in the upgraded reclining chairs.
I absolutely love this theater because it is handicapped accessible and we had no problems finding and reserving seats when we take my wheelchair bound father to this location.
I recommend this theater if you want a luxury experience at regular movie ticket prices.
** Just note that the alcohol is almost the price of the movie ticket.

It doesn’t compare to Cineopolis (Del Mar) but it is affordable, seat were comfortable, better to reserve your seat before hand or you will up front.
They do service alcohol but food wise, it’s your typical AMC theatre choices.

I think I’ve found my favorite theater. Loving the recliner seats super comfy and not as cold as most theaters. They have a beverage bar for the adults and you can select your seats so make sure you buy online early to get better seats. Only thing I didn’t like is long lines for the small snack counter then waiting in the fill your own drink line and have to wait for the person in front of you to make up their minds on what drinks they want. Biggest suggestion is buy your tickets early and show up early depending on if it’s a new movie and showing times.

Great price great drinks and comfortable reclining leather seats. Fun time :)
Came on a late night Sunday n was pretty empty so it was a great experience

As noted by others, this is the South Bay’s alternative to Cinepolis due to its smaller theatre sizes & reserved recliner-​seating. The mall is also going through some much-​needed renovations & upgrades to make it a family venue. For those with small kids, the mall has a nice play area on the first level under the movie theatre.
My review is for the Stubs loyalty card program. So far, the $ 12 membership has paid for itself bc Stubs card members get discounted $ 5.99 ticket pricing at the AMC10 location all-​day Tuesdays. The discounted pricing is only honored in-​person at the ticket booth & not online.
The other cool thing about Stubs is that once registered, the Stubs Dashboard tracks how much you spend on tickets & concessions. We saved $ 10.50 in ticket prices & $ 2.00 in concessions — and that was on the day we joined!
I did dock a star — for all its pluses, the theatre can’t help three things: location, location, location. Hopefully the Bayfront Park project will make the H Street corridor a thriving business district; but otherwise, this is still an area in need of heavy gentrification. But the near-​future looks very bright.

This is probably one of the most comfortable and nicest AMC around! They have leather lazy boy style seating that recline so far back I swear you’ll fall asleep in your seat. They also have a full bar, so you can have anything from a craft beer to a mix drink. You can even take your drink with you inside the theater, and you have two cup holders to yourself with plenty of arm rest space.
You don’t have to worry about bumping elbows with the person seating next to you. The prices are not over priced at all. This is one theater that is definitely worth driving to if its not near you, because after one visit you ain’t gonna want to go anywhere else.

So I’ve never been to Cinepolis, but I imagine it to be a step up from this place. But I am in LOVE with this location. It’s definitely affordable, and basically free if you’re a couponer like me ;D
This has been the go-​to theatre for my boyfriend & I for the past few months now. We’re already so use to the routine. I love the fact that we can reserve our seats from home. For popular movies or new arrivals, I would suggest reserving tickets at least the night before (or earlier that day if you plan on seeing it in the evening). If you happen to show up a few hours early, you could grab a bite at one of the restaurants near by or at the mall– or even kill time shopping. Fandango makes this really easy for us. They even print your tickets for you at the kiosk, you just have to show the text message from fandango.
The lines for concessions is never a hassle since no one’s worried about finding a seat. Oh and the SEATS! Lezbhonest, the SEATS are what makes this viewing experience worthwhile. Literally kick back and relax, cuddle, bring your blankets, get comfy! It’s too perfect for the price. Also, THEY SERVE ALCOHOL! They have a bar! It’s fantastic. The reclining seats, the small theaters– you really can’t go wrong no matter where you’re sitting.

Officially my favorite theatre to watch movies at — especially if you can get your hands on some movie/​fandango coupons. You can end up paying roughly the same as a regular theatre, but you get all of the amenities of this wonderful location!
Truly it doesn’t get any better — at least in my person experience. This isn’t even the closest (or second for that matter) theatre to my house but I make it my goal to watch a movie here.
Also, I haven’t had any trouble with customer service here — ticketing or buying food/​alcohol.
NOTE: If you’re in a wheelchair they do have a mini-​elevator to bring you to level BUT make sure you let an employee know as there isn’t always one standing by to assist you.

Really awesome movie theater! Way to
Go!!! Walk In and you can buy tickets there or pick up tickets that you got online. Very convenient that you can pick were you want to sit down at. They have a Alcohol too wow nice!!! Thought it was really cool that when you order a drink. They give you a cup and you select what you want on a screen. They have variety of the fountain drinks. But kinda felt lost picking my drink and felt panic with a line behind me. Wish they can just serve you your drink. It’s just different but cool. When I walked in the movie room it was super spacious with red leathers seats. Super comfy surprised they recline!!! Very sweet. Unlike when people at the regular theater want to pass my and their butts are all over your face lol… Loved it. Will be going again soon. Gotta say it’s the best theater in the South Bay!!! For adults its 13.50 pricey but wow what comes along with it and the reclining seats it’s a plus

I don’t own a red lazy boy at home, so I came here to test it out for 90 minutes.
The theater is connected to the mall, so it may be difficult to get parking during peak hours.
They serve alcohol here… that’s right I daid it… they serve alcohol! Its the same price as going to a bar, but finally the big wigs upstairs have wised up to the game. We like our booze and sometimes we might like to enjoy or booze while in a movie theater.
The food was expensive, but so is every movie theater so no surprises there. The staff was good about cleaning up messes quickly.
When your purchase your ticket, you also select where you want to sit. Im not really sure how I feel about this, but it did seem to make things more orderly when in the movie theater. You don’t end up with a bunch of nimrods standing in the aisles having a debate which location is better.
The seats are very comfortable and they have an arm divider that is adjustable if you’re trying to cuddles with your date. Aw yeah!!!

Came to this theater today for the first time. I was a bit confused while we were paying. I have never been to a theater that you had to pre-​select our seats, but it was pretty cool. Each theater door had a digital screen as to what movie was playing. Their signage was great for future movies. Their seats? WHOOT, WHOOT! If you have a bad back and have problems sitting in movie chairs this is the place for you! Tired of people putting their feet on the back of your chair? This is the place for you. If you would like to enjoy a cold beer or a nice cocktail this is the place for you. Adam the bartender made me a specialty drink called «Star Trek» I do not remember what was in it but it was delicious. Just a bit pricey. I would totally come back here again.

Can’t believe there aren’t more of these theaters around. So many good things to say about this AMC!
First things first though, I HIGHLY suggest you get on AMCTHE​ATERS​.COM and reserve your seats! You pay $ 2 extra if you don’t have a stubs card but honestly it’s worth it… Many new movies get sold out for all of the times. I recommend Row D or C. Husband and I sat in D11&12 and it was almost dead center. Not too far, not too close. So if you’re near sighted, go to C row. The reclining chairs were the best part of the experience. It can go almost all the way back almost like you’re laying down lol. Also, the middle arm rest does go up guys so cuddling is allowed! Just don’t get crazy.
What I think was a neat addition was a bar. Didn’t see what they serve but you CAN get a beer while you watch a movie. Insane! It’s almost being at home, except you end up spending $ 50 tops.
All in all, I recommend this AMC to everyone. It’s now my favorite theater and will be watching all my movies there now!
