AMC Lincoln Square 13

Amazing screen and extraordinary visuals. Just cannot go wrong with this when it comes to IMAX. Gigantic screen but AMC got one thing completely wrong which is the spacing, too big screen too cramped up seating. Why couldn't they space out the seats a little more and make the whole theater a little bigger so that the seats were at a good amount of distance away from the screen, that would've really amped the experience. I was seated in the second last row and still couldn't even cover the seats and the screen in one picture. 1 star less for making it feel like I am watching a movie in a room rather than a theater. So ironic, Americans are all about movies and everything is so big here, yet they got the theatre size wrong which is small.

My first trip to this AMC theater and I found myself pleasantly surprised to see my Interstellar showing. When they said that this theater boasts one of the largest screens in the US, they weren't kidding. While the entrance was a bit hard to find, once I was in, it was fairly easy to navigate. I also received my food quickly (though I had ordered in advance to avoid any delays). The theater itself was gorgeous and well worth the three hour trip from PA. If there's another movie designed for a screen like this, this'll likely be my go to theater!

First time watching a film here and now I don't want to go anywhere else. Such a beautiful building and very clean. I went to see oppenheimer in Imax 70MM and the sound screen and the auditorium itself was perfect. 100% would come here each time for imax alone especially 70mm when it's offered.

While the imax screen is literally the best in the entire us I gotta say 70mm didn’t really add much to the movie. I’ve been hearing how amazing 70mm is for months but asides from the black specs on the screen I noticed no difference in resolution. Overall I was still very happy with the 100ft screen but not 70mm. I gave it a 4 star cause the imax seats are terrible. I was still ignorant about imax when I wrote this review, after writing this review I now know imax 70mm film is and have seen Oppenheimer, tenet, dune part 2 and joker folie a deux in 70mm film. I just went to the Dolby cinema here for the first time, it is not worth $27. The seats are super comfy but the screen is pretty small and it still had black bars on, if the movie is playing imax there’s no reason to go to Dolby cinema since they’re the same price. Also it should state if the seat your choosing has a limited view, when I leaned all the way back at the seat I chose the rail would block half of the screen I wouldn’t have chosen that seat if it said it obstructed view. Dolby cinema should exist for movies that don’t have a imax showing if that was the case I’d understand the existence of Dolby cinema.

they have balcony seating for Dolby Atmos and the best IMAX screen in the country, with 70mm for some films. Seeing interstellar in IMAX here was life changing.

2025 Update. New and improved leather seats though leg space is a bit limited. Theater is in a good location with more selections than Magic Johnson theater (unfortunately for me) but it's in need of repair and it's way too cold inside. Be nice if the water fountains worked and the bathroom had soap. And that the kiosk advised exactly which theater to go to (upstairs or downstairs)

Incredible IMAX screen, amazing viewing experience. Comfortable seats. Only thing holding back from 5 stars review is the dead rat I saw on the way out

Once you enter there are a few theatres downstairs (10-12) and then upstairs on the second floor a dolby cinema, and on the top floor an imax. The imax has its own enclosed area with its own concession stand - the restrooms are inside this area. Came here for a Wicked early access screening - I would sit further back than you think you'd need. Sitting in the middle of the theatre is still too close because the screen is so large. Seats do not recline, but they're comfortable and I didn't miss it.

This is a such a great and fun AMC Theater to see a movie. Its a huge complex spanning many floors with 13 rooms of varying sizes. The main draw is the IMAX which is at the top and biggest IMAX screen in the US. They have their own concession stand and bathrooms. I saw a movie here once and couldn't get over how huge the screen was. Definitly worth the trip to see something here at least once. Best to sit further back and as close to the center as you can possibly get. Another great room is the Dolby which has two floors in it. It's well spaced out and you can get in and out of the rows pretty easily. Best not to sit under the overhang if you want the best sound experience I've found, so dont sit any further back then rows F/G. The rest of the rooms are all nice as well. The whole space is themed to the Golden Age of movies. The rooms in the lower level were added a few years after the place opened and are on the smaller side. Little indie films always seem to be down there or something thats been out for a long time. Plenty of restrooms and the main concessions line moves pretty fast. They recently updated some, maybe all (?) the rooms with new chairs although they don't recline. I saw Wicked 2 weeks ago in Dobly and it was the old recliners but saw Babygirl yesterday in room 3 and it was the new chairs. Sound was awesome by the way in room 3. Not sure if they renovated the sound as well. My friend pointed out the floors are now faux hard wood as opposed to tile and he felt the sound is reflecting better due to this change. Bathrooms are a little old and could use a renovation. They often have movie premieres here, and costumes from current films are always on display!

The AMC Lincoln Square 13 in the Upper West Side is one of the busier theaters in Manhattan, frequently drawing large crowds, especially for premieres of films like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Waves (2019). However, my experience there was less than ideal, particularly in terms of cleanliness and overall quality. During my first ever visit in 2019, I was disturbed to encounter a mouse in the men's restroom, which raised concerns about the level of cleanliness. DO NOT BUY FOOD HERE OR EAT ANYTHING IN HERE as this location has faced ongoing issues with rodent sightings over the years. According to The New York Post, patrons have reported encounters with mice during movie screenings, with some accounts dating back to the early 2010s. In December 2023, moviegoers reported seeing multiple mice during a showing of The Color Purple describing the experience as "really gross." Between my visit to AMC Lincoln Square 13 in 2019 and reports of mice sightings as recently as December 2023, it's clear that the rodent issue at this theater has persisted for at least four years. While the theater's visual and sound quality is generally good, the building's layout could be better, with escalators to access the theaters, making it less accessible for individuals with disabilities. This location seems to be understaffed relative to the volume of visitors, and it feels like it's not being properly managed for the amount of traffic it gets, especially during peak times. Despite the location being quite popular and situated in a bustling area of Manhattan, I don't feel inclined to make this theater my first choice for movie screenings. With improvements in staffing and cleanliness, it could be a more inviting place for moviegoers.

I like this AMC! The screens are always super large and immersive, and I especially enjoy coming here to see the movies in IMAX (Oppenheimer and Interstellar!) Theaters are huge in general. The staff have been friendly to me, and lines move pretty quickly in general. The bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

The best AMC in the city. I'm here about 5 times a month and I'm always satisfied. The Dolby and IMAX theaters are fantastic. Lots of Q&As and special events at this location as well. Sometimes the seats can be a bit dirty but it is definitely one of the cleaner theaters in the city. The staff is always super friendly and welcoming. Ticket prices are definitely expensive so I would recommend signing up for a membership if you plan on coming to this theater often.

Ran directly to the AMC Lincoln Square 13 IMAX theater, in order to see the limited run of the Navy Blue Angels. The seats are comfortable, there are no obstructions from viewers in front of you, and the sound system is outstanding. This IMAX theater should be your ONLY choice to see movies of this caliber and I hope everyone will experience the technology that this theater presents.

We went here for pre screening of Beetlejuice. We were at theatre 9, there was a line for the concession stand. The sidewalks had garbage outside. After the movie, you can take pictures with the displays.

Hadn't been here in years but recently went for a spousal work movie screening. The service was great, the theatre was clean and the staff was fantastic! Will definitely return.

The biggest and best IMAX screen in the country is at AMC Lincoln Square - it's also one of the biggest IMAX screens in the world. This cinema often has special screenings and advanced releases before the rest of the nation. Sometimes they have screenings followed by in-person Q&A with the cast and filmmakers. I've experienced numerous celebrity sightings here. Because of all this, the AMC Lincoln Square is one of my favorite cinemas. The only negative about this theater is most screens don't have stadium seating, which is standard these days. Those auditoriums need some serious updating - but that's not a problem on the IMAX screen. Overall this place is very well run. I've always had a good time and never had a problem with the quality of service.

I like the new chairs although I do wish they reclined! This movie theatre is one of the better AMCs in nyc.

Food (2/5): Got an all beef hot dog which was alright. The bread seemed like the cheap potato bun and the hot dog seemed cheap too. Not the best food but it's alright especially since it was part of a promo. Service (3/5): Not particularly outstanding but got the order done with no issues and they gave us water cups. We ordered a hot dog and it came out reasonably quickly. Ambiance (3/5): While the exterior to the actual theater rooms are cool with nice gates and look nice, the interior where you watch the movie leaves much to be desired. Seats are nasty and not the most comfortable. They are also not angled so if someone is tall in front of you it may block the view. It's also hard to squeeze through the row when you need to step out of your seat to go to the bathroom. The interior of the theaters place could use an upgrade and deep cleaning.

I went to see the Barbie movie with my friend and we had a great time. We went upstairs, scanned our tickets, and purchased candy and drinks. My friend bought popcorn and a drink, I bought Twizzlers and a drink. We got our seats and they were comfortable. The theater was clean, and it was easy to find our seats. The employees behind the concessions stand and scanning tickets were super nice. The bathrooms were also clean with plenty of open and available stalls. The only thing that I really didn't like about the experience was the teenager with his friends sitting a few rows behind us who kept yelling at the screen like your obnoxious uncle watching football on Thanksgiving. It didn't matter how many times people told him to be quiet. He refused. Of course, that is at no fault of the theater so that doesn't affect the number of stars that I'm giving the business. I just wish there was a way to handle the situation without confrontation. The movie was great, and I'm glad that I saw it again. My movie experiences have been great ever since AMC upgraded their seats and concession stands. I would be happy to come back again the next time there's an exciting movie out.

Worth it if you're seeing something in iMAX. Otherwise, it's your typical nyc theater. Fairly worn down seats in almost all other auditoriums. Unless line is super long, better off ordering your food in the main area and then taking up to the imax theater. There is a concessions stand there but certain items are only on the main floor so you end up waiting until they bring up for you.

One of the cleaner AMC theaters I have been too. Some of the theaters in this building have reclining seats which are nice. There is a Dolby theater in here too. This theater is like 3-4 floors. They also have a little arcade area. The concession area is a good size and has plenty to choose from. They also have soda machines where you can pour your own soda. And they have a few of them so no one really should be waiting in a line for them. One of the few AMC I recommend going to.

This AMC has had 3.5 stars for as long as I can remember, and I feel like very few businesses capture the range of personalities, preferences and priorities on Yelp than those with 3.5 stars, especially if they've been operating for many years and have hundreds of reviews. Even within the 3.5-star rating realm, a large and decades-old multiplex offers an unusually fascinating slice of cultural anthropology, collecting disparate and evolving attitudes and expectations regarding one of the most universally popular forms of entertainment. Skim reviews from the past year or two, for example, and you'll find dramatically different ratings for what seem to be the same experience: Seeing a movie and eating some popcorn in a simple theater. Some people think that's exactly what they paid for, and others expect more of Manhattan moviegoing in the 2020s and in the age of Alamo Drafthouse-style hospitality. Similarly, there are glowing reviews that mention the cavernous IMAX theater boasting a 100-foot screen and the newer Dolby theater boasting huge luxury recliners that jostle patrons in sync with the most thunderous moments of the state-of-the-art audio. There are also brutal reviews that dismiss the IMAX and Dolby offerings as little more than two bright spots in an irredeemably archaic cineplex. Unlike a lot of 3.5-star businesses, I generally don't feel that anyone is right or wrong about their ratings here. If someone expects a leather chair or a craft beer while watching a movie at a big theater chain, I guess that's a valid opinion. And if someone really sees a mouse scurrying around somewhere, or was really treated terribly by employees, I'm not going to say that a 1-star review is unreasonable. But I will say that I live four blocks from this AMC, and I've been coming here for 12 years, and I've been getting my money's worth out of my A-List membership for as long as it's existed, and I've never encountered vermin or a single rude remark from any staff member. For a Broadway theater, the place is remarkably clean imo, and the employees are not just courteous and helpful but sometimes actually cool as hell. On top of all that basic stuff, this is a flagship NYC cinema, and so they're always having red carpet premieres (even on back-to-back nights earlier this month) and special Q&A events where you get to talk with superstar actors and directors after seeing a flick (a few that come to mind are Regina King, Barry Jenkins, Brendan Fraser and Bradley Cooper). I also adore the decor, which includes towering murals and elaborate ornamentation, e.g., faux Hollywood palm trees and theater entrances with sphinxes and pharaohs and other old-school movie palace details. And finally, the range of films is terrific, encompassing all the blockbusters plus a steady diet of borderline-arthouse fare. So yeah, whatever it says about my personality, preferences and priorities, I'm giving this AMC two thumbs up and a very enthusiastic five stars.

Fantastic movie theater has many theaters with good bathrooms. Good snack bar. Large screens seats extremely comfortable

Clean theater but old and uncomfortable seats in theater 6. Service at the concession stand was fast and friendly. Love the ambiance and decor though!

I'm a avid film buff. I love seeing movies up on the big screen. Nowadays many people just stay home and wait for the movie to drop online since they have huge screen TVs with BOSE surround systems but it's just not the same experience in my humble opinion. I see most films on the huge IMAX Screen @ AMC Lincoln Center, which is actually the biggest IMAX in the USA (75.6 feet tall & 101 feet wide) {the largest IMAX in the world is in Leonberg, Germany @ 127.2 ft x 68.8 ft -- to put this into perspective, the screen is wider than a Boeing 737 airliner}. An adult ticket for the IMAX is $26.99 + another $2.69 in online tick fees. Pretty darn pricey . That's why I'm an AMC A-List member. What's that you say? ‍ Well, I pay a flat $24.99 per month and I'm able to see up to 3 films per week in ANY format (IMAX, 3D, 70mm, etc). It's on a monthly basis as well so you don't have to commit to a yearly membership and you can cancel anytime. It's like the best kept secret in NYC for film buffs. The membership literally pays for itself even if you only see one IMAX film per month. It's much better than the competing plan at Regal Cinemas where you can see unlimited films but have to pay extra to see them in any format other than the regular 2D. ANYhow, I just saw DUNE Part 2, which was spectacular. I waited this long to see it because good center row seats have been sold out til now and still are, but I got lucky when someone cancelled so I got a decent seat. And for this film you really wanna wait to see it in IMAX. Plus the sound system at Lincoln Center is pretty tight too. So, if you're a film fan like I am what are you waiting for? Oh, and I run NYC GRINDHOUSE, a free film based group that focuses on the Horror, Grindhouse and Exploitation genres. Check it out @ www.NYCGRINDHOUSE.com

I used to go frequently to this theater, but saw a mouse during the 70 mm showing of the Brutalist last week. I wanted to alert the staff but there seemed to be no management around. A friend told me he'd also seen a mouse there recently. I'm reluctant to go back. I'm not particularly afraid of mice but it's creepy in the dark to have something scurrying around your feet. I hope they take care of this problem.

I've visited this AMC a few times. The employees are friendly, but there's a bit of a robotic vibe in the evenings (absolutely understandably from someone who used to work in a customer service role). Nonetheless, the employees are the heart of the theater and carry the vibe throughout. The theater itself is decent, nothing extraordinary. Everything is pretty easy to navigate and is self explanatory. Funny to note, last time I was here with a friend we got (accidentally) spit on by another moviegoer who was doing a spit take at the top of the escalators. A true 4D experience.

I came here on a Sunday to see a movie. It was surprisingly packed with large crowds of people to see the new Super Mario movie. I like checking out the different AMC theaters in the city because they all are different in their own way. I usually go to the one by 34th street because they have recliner seats. This one did not so I was a bit hesitant. Each of the screenings had a different name. My screen was Avalon. I thought that was creative. The seats were alright but not as comfortable as I hoped they would be. I missed the reclining seats in the other AMC theaters. The screening was packed and everyone was piled up next to each other. The staff had to come in a couple of times to move people from their seats because they were in the wrong ones. Overall the movie experience was fine. This is a nice theater if you are in the area but I think I will go back to my reclining seats.

I guess some of the other reviews mentioned some auditoriums have recliner seats. I was in auditorium 11 tonight which did not. I'm visiting from Southern California (needed to find something to do due to rain) and I have not seen a non recliner movie seat in at least 10 years. My 15 year old literally said "why are the floors sticky?" The seats also didn't seem very clean either. The initial price for the movie ticket was going to be $17.99 + service charge of purchasing online, which amounted to over $20 per ticket. BUT! Apparently I got some kind of Tuesday discount for being AMC premier and it came out to $14 for BOTH tickets! For this price I guess the old timey theater was just okay. I would have been mad if I actually paid $20 per ticket. How can New Yorkers put up with this rip off?!?

The employees I met here today are so kind. I had trouble with an older woman placing her coat over my seat and refusing to move it after I told her I had a ticket with that seat. I went and spoke to the man at the concession stand who's name starts with Ste. He was really nice and chatted with me while calling a box office manager [who's name I didn't catch ] to free my seat. This manager then escorted me to my seat. Neither of them had to do any of that, and I'm really glad that they did. The employees didn't know this but I deal with really bad anxiety and I was going to leave without watching my movie. Bless these 2 amazing AMC employee's. I was able to relax soon after the movie started and enjoy the movie. If you read this, thanks guys. I know you were just doing your job's but it meant so much to me. They also recently added new seats that are so much comfier then the ones they had a few years ago! Come by and check out the theater!

I was in the area for an appointment and this theater was a block away so I decided to go see Wonka. I bought my ticket on Fandango as I saw it was Recliner seats (I'm spoiled now and don't want to go to theaters without recliners lol) for that showtime and also said it was Dolby Cinema @AMC which I guess is supposed to have better picture & sound etc. I thought the ticket price was rather high ($27)! When you get there you have to immediately go up escalators, then there are signs that indicate you go up an elevator for the IMAX theater and the rest of the auditoriums are grouped together, including the one I was going to. Once I went into that area I saw most of the theaters had styled grand-looking entrances with names but I think those are older and most wouldn't have recliners. The auditorium I was in was Auditorium 1 and right in the front looking very different from the others (like a sleek black box). Inside it was a huge screen and a separate way to go up if you had balcony seats. The recliners were comfy although I wish the leg part went up more rather than leaving your leg bent at the knee. There was also some popcorn strewn about in the seats, so they could do a better job cleaning. But overall it was great reclining in comfortable chairs looking up at a giant screen with great picture quality & sound in a huge theater with good spacing. $27 is pricey for one ticket but still can be worth it for this quality. I would return to this particular auditorium but don't know about the others as they sound like they may be rundown. I would be interested in checking out the IMAX theater there even though I don't think that theater has recliners. There was one ladies restroom at the other end of the floor--decent number of stalls & ok cleanliness but they could probably benefit from another bathroom.

I would think a theatre in this location would be nicer. It was meh. If you're not in one of the fancy theatres, you're in an auditorium straight from the 90s, including folding style stadium seats and sticky floors. Bathrooms were dirty and smelled. On the plus side, reserved seating. While the theatres are marked by an auditorium number, they aren't marked by movie - so it's easy to get confused where you are supposed to go. There really isn't a ton of staff around, they are at their stations (checking stations and concessions). My friend actually got lost coming back from the bathroom because she forgot the theatre number and the lack of signage indicating which movie was in which theatre lol. Overall, it was a meh experience. I wish the seats were nicer and more comfortable. The general cleanliness left a lot to be desired.

I attended a screening at AMC Lincoln Square yesterday. The sound in the theater was broken (dialogue only coming through one speaker in a far corner of the theater), but the staff said it would be fixed, each of the several times we asked. It never was, and when I asked the theater manager, he said I'd need to contact Fandango for a refund. (He also said the sound issue was a known, ongoing problem, for at least a week, and that they "might call in a professional soon" if it didn't resolve itself.) Fandango refused to help, saying that the theater's refund policy required requests to be initiated "prior to showtime". It should be clear that it's impossible to ask for a refund before you are aware that the theater isn't working, and while you are actively being told by theater staff that they're working on the problem. So, warning to others: don't assume that because you were sold tickets, it means the theater is working. Don't buy tickets through a third-party service like Fandango. And if there is a problem, don't believe the staff when they say "we're working on it". Ask for a refund right away.

The last time I was there when they played the Dune part 2 in 70mm IMAX film the food and the popcorn are always made fresh and this is a good experience to see movie at AMC Lincoln Square 13

Nice theater that reminds me of Hollywood Mann Chinese Theater. They even had the stars on the floor just like in Hollywood Boulevard with all the palm trees. Of course had to have the popcorn. This is my go to AMC in NYC.

Still my fave movie theater in the city. The cool art deco look, art, themed rooms, and decor is a throwback to the golden age of movies. Terrific theaters here, IMAX, concessions, recliner seating in the Dolby cinema, nice staff, clean overall. Saw Top Gun here on IMAX and it was an amazing viewing experience. Saw it again in the Dolby Cinema last night and it was also great.

My first time coming here was a couple of weeks ago to see the film Theater Camp. It's one of the few theaters in the area that was playing this film so I decided to betray my usual movie place and give this one a visit. It didn't wow me too much. Let's just say that. One pro. It's in a great area on the upper west side with the 1, 2, 3 & A/C trains all within a few blocks. It's a huge movie theater. 3 floors with multiple theaters and is very spacious. There are arcade games and coin rides. The concessions are what give this spot a huge pro. They have Coke Freestyle machines all over so you have multiple options for drinks with easy refills. Free refills on popcorn as well. The food options are plenty and pretty good from what I had. I had the pretzel bites with everything bagel seasoning. Kind of pricey, but they do give you a lot and they were yummy. Con...the people that worked the concessions were not friendly in the least. Looked like they would rather be anywhere else but there. Now, the themed outsides of the theaters are interesting but kind of strange and really make no sense. I find it odd, but that's just me. My movie was in Theater 5 that's in the left-hand corner of the second floor. The sound was good. The picture quality was fine. The inside seemed really dingy and dated. The seats are a big con. The seats are so close together and they're rickety. Pales in comparison to the huge, spaced-out, reclining seating at the Regal theaters I go to. The bathrooms were kinda crummy as well. Dirty and not many things working. Will I come back to this spot? Quite possibly because they seem to have movies that not too many other places show. Maybe the next theater I'll be in will wow me more than #5 did.

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars for this AMC. I'm a devout AMC Stubs member(AMC's rewards program) and do enjoy their theaters and options. So I don't want to bash them too hard. First the negative...Went to see Tom Cruise/M:I Dead Reckoning in IMAX. Saw the movie at 9am on a rainy Sunday. Took forever at the concession stand to get my everything pretzel bites and large soda. I figured the everything pretzel bites were an equal alternative to an everything bagel without the egg and bacon. It did come with Nacho Cheese. It was pretty good despite taking forever to get prepared. The other downside to this is the "plush rockers." I've gotten so use to the recliners that the rockers don't do it for me anymore. IMAX only has rockers. Onto the good stuff. Overall Lincoln Square is very spacious. Definitely a nice theater to go to. I also have gone to Kips Bay on 2nd Ave and the AMC on W 34th. No real comment on the staff. They did their job. The ambience, nice decorations and sound level. I think in the odd moment I want to see a movie in IMAX would be the only reason I'd be going to Lincoln Square. I think I like Kips Bay the best.

I've been coming to this movie theater for years, it's one of my favs! I recently attended to see Minions: The Rise of Gru which I enjoyed because im a big kid at heart lol. The theaters are huge with tons of leg room for those with long legs like me. The chairs are also comfortable. Of course the air conditioner is always blasting so I'd recommend bringing a sweater! The bathrooms were clean and had a lot of stalls which limited the possibility of long lines. The snacks were a bit questionable. I got the nachos and the cheese tasted strange. I couldn't even finish it. The popcorn didn't have much butter on it. The icee is conveniently located in a separate section which is awesome because you can refill your cup if needed. I'd recommend but I'd suggest to eat before hand or bring your own snacks. It's not like they're checking bags or anything

This is my go to movie theatre in Manhattan. Came here to see Top Gun Maverick which is the sequel to my favorite movie of all time which is the original Top Gun. This did not disappoint and I won't comment so no spoiler alerts. Go see the movie. I've been coming to this theatre for a long time, the IMAX theater is always a great choice. Prices are getting expensive Adults are now up to $27.99 for IMAX for the evening movies. It's pretty clean overall, one fix would be to make the bathrooms bigger. Good place to see a movie, street parking is not bad on the weekends. I'm not a person who goes to the movies much anymore although this is one of the better places to see a movie.

A Cinematic Marvel in the Heart of NYC! AMC Lincoln Square is a movie lover's paradise with its 13 auditoriums, making it one of the largest and most diverse theaters in NYC. I appreciate the vast variety of films they showcase, from big-budget blockbusters to limited-release indie gems, catering to all movie tastes. The crown jewel of this theater is undoubtedly the IMAX theater, boasting the largest IMAX screen in the United States and one of the best in the world. Watching a movie on this colossal 6-story tall screen is an awe-inspiring experience. A helpful tip for fellow moviegoers: sit towards the back in the center of the theater to fully enjoy the massive screen without distorting the image and ensure the most immersive breathtaking surround sound experience. Additionally, the IMAX theater boasts the latest cutting-edge technology, enabling optimal visual and sound quality. I was thrilled to learn that this theater was one of the few locations in the entire northeast capable of screening films like "Oppenheimer" in Christopher Nolan's ideal format and replicated the same feat for James Cameron's "Avatar: The Way of Water." It's a testament to their commitment to providing moviegoers with the best cinematic experience possible. While the Dolby theater boasts incredibly comfortable recliners, I found the screen size to be a bit overwhelming for those sitting too close. For the best viewing experience, I recommend sitting a few rows back in the balcony or towards the back on the ground floor before the balcony. Alternatively, if you prefer Dolby screenings, you might consider visiting the Times Square theater, where the screen-to-seating ratio is better suited. In conclusion, AMC Lincoln Square is a moviegoer's dream destination, offering an exceptional variety of films in one of the largest theaters in NYC. The IMAX theater is a true gem, delivering an unparalleled visual and auditory spectacle. So, grab some popcorn and get ready to immerse yourself in a cinematic adventure at this impressive venue! Bonus Tip: If you're a frequent moviegoer at AMC, I highly recommend joining the AMC A-List program. It's a game-changer! This membership more than pays for itself after a single visit to the awe-inspiring IMAX theater or any Dolby theater in NYC. With AMC A-List, you'll get the incredible perk of visiting any AMC theater in the country up to three times per week with no limitations on premium formats. It's the ultimate pass for movie enthusiasts, granting you unlimited access to a world of cinematic wonders. Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to elevate your movie experience and explore the magic of the silver screen to the fullest!

From having to buy my ticket at a kiosk, which took about 10 times longer than if an employee gave me a ticket, to having to select a seat without seeing what the inside of the theater looks like (I mistakenly chose third row front thinking it was third row back, then had to move twice after I took other seats; finally I left without seeing the movie), this was an awful experience. Add to that the worst and endless pre-movie trivia and ads, a half hour of coming attractions, no clear indication which floor the movie was on. Never again.

Great theater. Fun themes and decorations. Finding the downstairs theaters can be kind of confusing so ask a worker if you get confused. They do lots of premieres here so you can spot celebs sometimes! Expensive tickets in the city but the AMC pass is worth it if you love movies.

AMCA-List member reviewing various AMCs throughout the country. It's been a while, but I used to attend this theater very regularly, at least 17 times according to Swarm. Seats: Vary based on individual theater but not all are reclining. Screens: Vary based on individual theaters - the IMAX is amazing. Macguffins: No, due to NYC regulations. If one location was going to have a Macguffins though (I think the only one in NYC is downtown), this would be a good candidate. Snacks: Have only had soda and popcorn here, all were good. Can have long lines even with the A-list VIP line. Crowd: Not a huge hot spot for rowdy teens. Bathrooms: Not the worst but not the cleanest. It's Manhattan. Parking: Lol. Take the train. Nicole Kidman AMC ad?: Insufficient data. Overall: 4/5. This theater is huge and features unique artwork and detailing related to historic movie palaces around the world. Great IMAX screens. I saw a press screening of Jurassic World 2 here and they took my phone and gave me Skittles, which I think is a fair trade. More theaters should have cool theming like this!

Once an awesome theater now sorely in need of a renovation. Seats are run down. Space has so much potential and was once the Grand Dam of NYC theaters. They let it get very rundown unfortunately. I hope they renovate and put in more comfortable and less seats.

This theater used to be such a nice one. Unfortunately the theater has declined and now it's only really good for IMAX or the Dolby screen. The "regular" movie screens are dingy, with uncomfortable and/or broken seating, and the ladies' bathroom on the main floor is totally falling apart (last night I saw broken toilet seats, missing flush handles, cabinets falling off of their hinges, and way overstuffed waste baskets.). Truly a disappointing experience. Go elsewhere unless you're specifically seeing a screening in the nicer theaters.

I'm a AMC Stubs Premiere member and this is definitely one of the cooler AMCs I've been to! A convenient location, 5 minute walk from the 72nd station (1, 2, and 3 lines). We came on a $5 Tuesday to watch Don't Worry Darling (great movie btw). Ordered the tickets ahead of time on the app and also got a large popcorn and drink. The service was great and our ticket scanner guy was super enthusiastic and friendly! He seemed to really love his job! He told us a bunch of great things about the movie we were about to watch, which really got me excited! What makes this AMC so special is that each individual theater entrance is themed! Our theater was called the Majestic and had a Chinese-theme. All the other theaters down the hall also had their own special entrances and there were big fake palm trees too -- very Las Vegas energy. The downstairs (which we didn't get to see) was lit up and looked really cool too! For a New York theater, this theater was fairly big and our seats (although no recliners) weren't bad! Will definitely be coming back to this AMC for more movies and to try all the fun theaters!

If you are an experienced filmgoer in Manhattan, you know that the only TRUE IMAX theater in the city is at AMC Lincoln Square. I've been coming here for over twenty years for IMAX screenings and it's always an amazing time! Pro Tip: If you plan on sitting in the back row in the IMAX theater, make sure to pick a wheelchair companion seat during the reservation process. That is the actual seat on the aisle and will let you go to the upstairs, rear bathrooms with ease.

Horrible in terms of cleanliness and they need to seriously consider some repairs and upgrades. For this theatre to be in this specific location and still house these disgusting seats is beyond me. For a matinee show to cost $13.50 and still hold cloth seats, dingy carpet and messy outdated bathrooms, AMC should be ashamed of themselves. This is by far one of the worst theatre's I've been to in this decade. I feel sorry for the people who live locally and in walking distance of this theatre because it's so smelly and nasty. The seats are uncomfortable and noisy, I don't even understand why they have reserved seating here the numbers were off half of the seats making it difficult to find the seat you actually booked online. My friend and I had to go to the concession stand to get paper towels and line our seats, that's how filthy they were. I really hope they use the extra money they charge their patrons and start making an effort to make this theatre actually look like the rest of the neighborhood. What an eyesore in such a beautiful neighborhood!

This theater is beautiful and located near a few subway lines. Generally speaking, it's not a bad theater. It's fairly clean. The theater seats and bathrooms can use an upgrade. The concession stand is miserable and so slow. The employees constantly look lost trying to do something as simple as fill a popcorn bag. I prefer going to Alamo Drafthouse but this isn't that bad last minute

Great place to watch movies. Close to Central Park so its nice to take a stroll before or after the movie. Plus tons of restaurants and cafes to visit in the area. Would come here again

The facility is OK but some of the staff is rude and nasty, specifically Rickie and Ali. I had an A List membership but dropped. Regal Cinemas is now my theater chain of choice. I wonder how many others have quit AMC because of them.

Employee told me there were 25 minutes of previews and there were not. It wasted several hours of my life. The app wasn't working. The one customer service person was busy and the kiosks didn't scan my phone property. What a pain. What a waste. Edit: they asked me to come back later and they would accommodate me but they did not. Horrible service. The manager wouldn't let me talk to the person I was originally talking to. Wasted 4-6 hours of my time including the wait and the commute.

my review is based solely on customer service .. every staff member was extremely sweet, helpful & made my experience very pleasant. This theatre is a lil outdated w most of the seats being Not reclining .. but great !! Customer service & satisfaction

First time to this theater and upon entry was pretty satisfied. Got into the premier line for concessions which there was only one person attending to a line of at least 15 deep. Odd as the regular line had three people along with others behind the scenes helping to grab stuff that was ordered. We waited for 20 minutes before they finally added two additional people for assisting the premier line which of course went fast. We got tickets for Spiderman and sat in the balcony area. First time experiencing such a unique theater. We had seats in row L #3 & 4. Not too bad only downside was the railing. Both the catch at the end of the balcony and the divider for the stairs. So, the bottom left portion of the screen was interrupted. Keep that note in case you are looking for balcony seats, the middle ones will be your best bet for uninterrupted views. Overall, I thought the theater was fine, minus the slow action taken at the concession stand.

Came here to see Black Panther (my boyfriend pretty much stated this is the only theater he would watch it at lol) Beautiful and very clean theater as well as comfortable chairs . Only downside is one , they ran out of chicken fingers which was a bummer as I was starving being that I went to catch a movie in between classes & it was only 12:30pm . ( Only food item I'll actually eat from a theater , besides snacks ) In addition to this , I believe I was charged for the tenders that I asked for as I realized once my movie started that I didn't get a receipt for my items and I was charged near 60 bucks, for which should have been no more than $40 .... The team that was there was helpful and the manger quickly resolved the matter .Def will be my go to movie theater due to the cleanness and the customer service provided .

I was invited to come here by AMEX for the advanced screening of Barbie. I sat in theater 4. The mezzanine of this theater was very uniquely decorated and I liked seeing different aspects of cinema portrayed. Theater 4 was one of the smaller theaters, the seats were comfortable but I felt like I was going to break them if I leaned too far back. The popcorn was tasty but a bit too salty for my liking. The movie started on time and I liked that there was security to ensure nobody had their phones out. Overall, I had a great time and would return here.
