AMC Streets of Woodfield 20

Although its a little difficult to leave a glowing review after seeing a super lame movie, it’s not the theater’s fault that the movie sucked so here goes… There’s a 5 story parking garage which helped us avoid dusting the snow off the car after the movie was over. Brownie points for that! The inside of the theater is clean, spacious, and well lit. I purchased tickets online but the line seemed to move fast based on my observation. The seats are comfortable unlike a theater that we went to last month. Besides the movie itself, a great experience.

I have a feeling this location gets away with a lot simply because of where they are. They’ll get patrons no matter how disgustingly dirty it is, so why care right?
The only positive about this AMC is the reclining seats and generally the staff have been pleasant.
Our theater was opened and people were allowed to sit down without it being cleaned. There was popcorn all over the floor and seats, and garbage still in the cup holders. One girl wandered in I guess to clean at some point but she did a few rows and then left. The seats were still covered in oil and garbage left everywhere. How does this happen?
We also noticed coming in that at the top of the escalator someone had spilled popcorn so it was a trampled mess of popcorn and oil. I can’t even believe it but guess what? 2 and a half hours later after the movie was over it was still there! Unbelievable that employees would just walk over the mess and not think to clean.
The restrooms were also not being taken care of as the garbage was overflowing with paper towels and most of the soap dispensers were empty.
I haven’t been to a theater this gross in a long time. I can’t believe management allows this neglect to go on.

Never coming here again. OMG I thought this AMC would offer the same or even more of an amazing experience like the Yorktown location. It is Woodfield after all… I set myself up with high expectations and was completely let down.
No quick scan QR lady at the front … You either stay in the massive long line or go to a lady who has to manually type in your confirmation code when you purchase tickets via phone… WTH! Concession food is horrible here when you’re used to being able to get salads, milkshakes, ice cream desserts… Ugh, and they only had two checkout people for the food. What s joke. You can order your food at Yorktown AMC and someone brings it to your seat. OR you can order at your seat not deal with lines. Never ever coming back here again, AMC Yorktown is the place to go.
Ps — to the overprotective boyfriend I was standing in front of– let your «darling/​baby» get her damn peanut m&m’s to snack on without giving her the 4^th degree. I looked at the both of you, she’s a skinny size 2, no more than size 4 and from the looks of you, you’re quite lucky to have her, sorry… Just sayin’ never make a girl feel bad for eating something, jerk! Especially when she’s skinny and can use the extra calories!

Unfortunately, there isn’t a reasonable alternative for those who want to watch a movie after dinner or shopping at Woodfield. That’s a shame because AMC Streets of Woodfield 20 is simply overpriced for what you get. We have been coming here for years (mostly by default), and there’s a noticeable decline with each visit, even with the latest upgrades to reserved, reclining leather seats. The individual theaters and common areas could definitely benefit from a more thorough cleaning. Also, because this theater gets a lot of patrons, a movie that you wouldn’t think would be sold out might actually be sold out. And while the screens are large and clear, the screen quality is not enough of a draw. There are better theaters, but because of its prime location, AMC Woodfield will continue to attract lots of moviegoers.

This theater is by far my favorite. I love the fact that I can choose my seats ahead of time and the reclining feature is the best. When I was pregnant this was the only theater I would go to because it was the most comfortable. And it is way more inexpensive than Muvico which has the same chair feature. This is the only theater that I want to go to.

After tonight we will never go back to this theater again! They are so much higher in price than any other theater around, even when you go during the day when many places offer matinée prices! Not to mention who wants a mile hike to the restroom in the middle of a movie? The place is ungodly huge and they are not smart enough to add a few small restrooms! Other complaints from before were that is was freezing in the theater, the lighting in the movie was so horrible once & the projector apparently had a bulb out, & in some of the theaters with the recliners, your feet actually bump into the little glass wall making it hard for my husband who is 5’10 to fully extend his legs!

This is easily my favorite theater in the Schaumburg area. The covered parking next door is definitely a plus, especially in the winter! There are plenty of screens, and the theaters are always very clean. The reserved seating is great, and the seats themselves are soooooo comfortable.

Love the new reclining seats very comfortable but for the price I pay to watch a movie I do expect the seats to be clean. As arriving, my seat still had popcorn in it, butter on the arm rests and where you sit, and a dirty napkin in the cup holder. Did the workers even come in to clean?! I would hate to see a nice new theater get ruined because the workers are too lazy to give it a proper clean. Other than that it was ok.

I think after all of the remodeling done to this movie theater everything has gotten better. I do enjoy the fact that they have a bar in the first floor so you can wait for your movie or just catch a drink before/​after a show. The new recliner seats are pretty cool and spoil you! This is usually our meeting point for my friends and I who all live in different areas of the state. This movie theater is def worth a visit if you are in the area however I would not drive to Schaumburg from Chicago just to go here.

We went for a 3-​D IMAX movie. Although the theater was clean, the hallways and restroom were not. There were only 2 workers at the food and drink counter. The theater is just OK.

Just had a life-​changing experience watching a movie in a leather recliner this past weekend! And WOW. I have seen the light. I will never watch a movie in those other kind of seats. You know the ones I’m talking about, and they clearly cannot compete with the leather recliner — the Iron Throne of seats.
Yes, I know this is not new news by any means. But, you shall have to pardon my lack of knowledge when it comes to the movie-​going/​movie-​watching experience. I clearly have been living under a rock. It takes a lot for me to actually go out and see one, and I’m extremely picky about what I see.
My hubby-​to-​be and I found ourselves at the 4:30 showing of Carol Sunday afternoon since I had this overwhelming desire to see it again. I saw it on Christmas with my little sister at the Regal in Lincolnshire and those seats were very uncomfortable.
I hopped on Unilocal a few days prior to research the hell out of theaters since I wanted the best accommodations possible and was unconcerned with the cost. That is how I discovered the AMC in Schaumburg.
Best of all, I was able to purchase the tickets and reserve our recliners online. I totally appreciate how efficient that whole process was, and I didn’t mind paying a small convenience fee to do it. I saw people waiting in line to purchase tickets and felt like a total rock star since I had purchased mine ahead of time. I had the confirmation sent to my phone, showed it to the ticket agent who scanned it, and we were off to the theater.
We showed up right as the previews started. We misjudged how long they’d run and failed to get snacks, which was a bit of a bummer as they do have more than just popcorn and candy. I saw chicken fingers and mozzarella sticks on the menu. Prices are exorbitant as always with the concessions. For those into pop drinkers, they have the machines that have tons of different flavors. For those wanting something stronger, they’ve got a bar and you can bring your booze into the theater with you.
And yeah… watching Carol again was wonderful and really solidified my love for that movie. *fangirls wildly* I can’t wait for the DVD to come out so I can watch it whenever my heart desires. It’s a shame it didn’t win anything at the Golden Globes, but maybe it’ll win some at the Academy Awards this year.
Some individuals in the theater with us, clearly people without taste, complained about how slow the movie was, and I was so tempted to give ‘em a piece of my mind.
Hello! The movie takes place in the 1950s! Women who love women can’t exactly flaunt it in everyone’s faces!
Carol is subtle and not dialogue driven by any means. The women communicate through their body language — soft, lingering touches & looks and a couple pretty intense eye f**ks that had me blushing and squirming in my seat and wishing that those ladies would look at me like that, *wink wink*, but I digress…
Seriously, if you want something that slaps you in the face, go watch Star Wars and the like (no disrespect).
There weren’t really any cons with our experience, save for our poor planning and being unable to get snacks. I did notice some popcorn at the top of the stairs, but overall, the theater was clean. I didn’t use the restroom so I can’t comment on its state.
You can find parking in the garage across the street from the theater or in the big lot near the shops and restaurants. It was busy when we arrived, so thankfully I had purchased our tickets online!
If you’re like me and haven’t been to the theater in a while, find a flick and give this AMC a try. I’d definitely consider seeing a movie at this theater again if it isn’t playing at the AMC in Vernon Hills. If you are cost-​conscious, you can watch a film in the late morning/​early afternoon to get better pricing.
And, I cannot stress it enough: leather recliners for the win!

Love the new recliners, but this place is filthy. Popcorn is littered all over the lobby. The women’s restroom was disgusting. The people at the concession stand couldn’t care less about waiting on people. I am not sure I will return.

Definitely one of my favorite movie theaters to go to! The chairs are sooooo comfortable & they recline! (It’s hard not to want to take a nap! Lol) We always try to go in the morning to catch the matinée since it’s cheaper but regardless I still think the price is worth it. I also like the fact you get to choose your seats.

I would give this theater more stars since they have seat selection and leather reclining seats in their theaters.
What threw me off and most likely will affect my decision to go back was the lack of cleanliness of every part of the theater. From the theaters itself, to the dirty rest rooms and horrible aroma in the common area spaces, this place was/​is not maintained like a place I’d frequent often.

Thank goodness this AMC jumped on the comfortable reclining pre-​selected seats bandwagon, because that is just about the only thing it has going for it. I was at AMC Streets of Woodfield twice in two days last week, once to see Sisters (a late show on ¹²⁄₂₄) and then again to see Joy (a noonish matinée on Christmas day). Both times the seats were marvelous, but the whole building was a filthy pig sty. There was popcorn on the ground all over the concessions stand, the bathrooms were appalling, and both times they didn’t clean the theaters before opening the doors for the next show. The people behind the concessions counter were rude as all getout, and the kid taking the tickets was too busy texting to actually notice people walking right by him.
Long story short, put your blinders on and enjoy the recliners.

Economy class at twice the price…
So the upgrade is complete and I went to see Star Wars in the Imax theater.
It was like I was transported back to the late ’90’s.
The seats were NOT new, but were the old, very narrow, plastic seats from yesteryear. The arm rests don’t move up and there’s a sharp ridge on the inside of them. As people moved across the row behind me, I could feel their clothes brushing across the back of my head. My leg started to fall asleep from holding the same position too long, but luckily the seat on my right was unoccupied so I stretched in that direction.
Otherwise, the projection was good, sound was ok.
They really want to squeeeeze as many seats as possible into the room. Why not have two Imax theaters?
oh yeah… check your 3D glasses when you get them, mine were scratched with permanent light spots all over the lenses.

The seats were reclining and huge and there was never anyone sitting in front of us on any rows. I want to come back to this theater for every movie but we live out of town.

The remodel is done! Now with awesome seats and a full bar. Movie goers get an elevated experience!

This is my new favorite theater for watching any not all movies as they have reclining seats in the entire theater.

So, We just saw Hunger Games Part 2. We decided last minute to go to the theater and ran a little behind. After racing to the Theater I dropped my girlfriend off to get the tickets printed out. (we ordered them online and reserved the seats) I was able to get first row parking which was nice so I was able to run inside pretty easy, There is a nice parking garage that is free right across the street of the main entrance of the theater.
The concession stand is where i have the issue. It was a Sunday night yes, but Common people, why do you only have one person working the stand with a line of 10 people. we got our order in time to just miss a couple preview and after that we enjoyed the movie. Nice reclining seats with good overlooking views of the rows in front of you. Overall good quality.

Love the new reclining seats but had a not great experience today. First the movie times posted online were wrong. We had to leave by a certain time for our diner reseevations so we chose a different movie. Then went to the bar to order a glass of wine. The bar menu says $ 6.79 but the bartender said it would be over $ 15. When I said that isn’t the price listed in the menu he said the menu was old. Talked to a manager and he said the same thing. They wouldn’t honor the price listed. Then go into the theater and the equipment malfunctioned. Thirty minutes past the start time still no movie. We left. They did refund us and gave us passes for a another movie

Nice recliners here. The theater is good but not as nice as Yorktown which seems to be the most updated of the AMC in this area being a Dine-​In and having updated ticket handling kiosks.

Sometime recently, the AMC at Streets of Woodfield went through an upgrade. I think it has always been nice, but they’ve added a bar, expanded their selection of food and drinks. The greatest though is they added automatic reclining seats in the theaters.
Unlike the rocking theater chairs at many of the newer theater complexes, these have buttons on the side that recline the seats to your liking. They are quite comfortable and add to the experience.
Their digital projectors are amazing as is their sound system. The large screens add to the fun of a great movie. Lastly, I sometimes notice sound bleeding through the walls in most of these large theater complexes but I have to say I didn’t hear any sounds coming from other theaters. We saw a comedy and not a violent film, so the sound in our theater was quiet. If they did not have great sound insulation, we would have certainly heard the movies on either side of us.
This was our third trip to this theater since they remodeled. Each time our experience was as good as the last. Consistency means a lot for repeat business.

I feel like this review is overdue considering how many times I’ve been to this AMC. Overall great theatre. They seem to use space efficiently with both an upstairs and downstairs so no theatre is overcrowded.
The staff always seem nice. You usually can tell when people absolutely hate their job because of the environment, but not here. I like the new seats as well. They recline nicely and not too close to the next person. Only drawback is that if you sit in the front of the second section (right behind the short glass dividers), the recline space is limited. Soon as you recline, your feet are in the wall. Otherwise, still a nice theatre.

Absolutely love all the updates! Most theaters now have reclining, leather chairs which is my favorite part! Another nice perk about this theatre is the bar in the lobby with the delicious drinks. This theatre is top on my list when seeing a movie!
