As someone with back pain, I personally prefer theaters with reclining seats. Its definitely a very clean and safe theater. The employees are really nice and helpful. I just avoid this theater because of the lack of reclining seats. Occasionally we have dinner on this side of town so its convenient but Paying $20 for IMax tickets and seats dont recline? Grrrr. Lol. Today we were on this side of town and the family wanted to watch the world cup game so we stopped her. Its cool that the games are an option. read more

I haven't been to AMC for a while. I was anticipating the newly released Michael movie and decided to go to AMC Altamonte Mall. The facilities, to include the restroom, were clean. The IMAX theater stadium was well maintained and the seating in good condition. By the way, we loved the movie. Great casting and excellent performances. read more

I specifically can do this AMC location to try out their IMAX theater! I didn't know what to expect since I've never been to an IMAX screening of a movie before. The theater itself was great. I went during the afternoon and the parking seemed fine. It's located near a mall but didn't seem to be an issue. IMAX theater had what AMC calls "Rocker Chairs" which are bigger than normal theater seats but they do not recline. I think their Dolby theater has recliners seats. As someone whose home theater is Disney Springs, this IMAx theater seemed the same size as Dolby in Springs but who knows. But to compare to a normal size screen IMAX is HUGE read more

I went to view Project Hail Mary in IMax and the sound level really shocked me at first with the overwhelming strength of it. I cannot recall the last time I did IMax. I ran over right after work and needed something in my belly so I went with the chicken tenders (5 for $12) and they were pretty danged good. Crispy, good sized pieces which took away my hunger. I also got a regular sized fountain drink ($8) and started with the ginger ale but threw it out for the Gold Peak tea, mixing the sweet and unsweetened to get the perfect level. I couldn't drink a lot because my bladder needed to last the movie but I wound up needing to do a potty run. This theater is pretty good with a good amount of parking to accommodate users and enough screens for several to view. They have the concession stand plus a small bar area if you want something a bit more adult to drink down. read more

First movie in a long time - will be my last! So disappointed the SOUND was so loud during Toy Story 5. ONLY 7 people in the theater - the sound was terribly loud! $30.00 spent as we walked out after 30 min. Absolutely zero reason for the volume to be so loud! NEVER AGAIN! read more

I typically go to this theater when I want to catch a movie in a calm setting. The show prices are good and they have a bar! I waited a while to order a drink because they seemed a bit short staffed but that wasn't an issue. The drink selections were a bit pricey for what's offered but that's to be expected at the movies. The seats a comfortable but can stand to be cleaned. All in all, I enjoy this theater and plan to continue to visit. read more

I went to see Masters of the Universe as a matinee. The staff at the counter really were not friendly. They had enough staff to take orders but the staff would not say "next" they would just stand there. Their drink machine and icee machine are self serve so people were using water cups to fill up their cups with soda and icee after I paid full price. The snack area was kinda messy because it was a free for all. Seats were comfy but not much leg room if you are over 6' tall. read more

we had a blast taking my son to his very first movie (we saw zootopia 2) !! the concessions was a smooth process overall - and although we were eyeing the fully stocked bar we stuck w/ our original buttered popcorn, crunch chocolate, & coke, of course. the inside seating was nice - we were in a smaller theatre so it was cozy. the only reason star is docked is because there were no reclining options but we knew that in advance! it's just so nice when you have that option. we will definitely be back! i am a through & through 90's girl who loved to frequent the mall & a movie so this place has my heart. read more

First, the sodas contain too much carbonated soda and very little flavor. Secondly, the seats are NOT reclining chairs and finally, the carpets are filthy...the theater we were in smelled bad. The odor was awful. read more

We love this place! I first came to this theater on a sneak peek for a movie, not too long ago. I walked in and was surprised by how many options they had for food and drinks. They even had a bar inside. I ordered some nachos and headed to the theater. The nachos were fresh, and the cheese was warm, they even provided jalapeños on the side. As I walked into the theater, I immediately recognized how clean it was. I've been to theaters in the past, that were somewhat dirty because it's difficult to upkeep in between shows, but this definitely was not the case. The staff was kind and friendly. They were quick to get us inside and the theater had overall really good energy. We have been back several times since & look forward to continuing to support this business. read more

Movie Review A Must See: Melania Grace with backbone. Class with purpose. Last night, a group of friends and I went to check out Melania, and I walked out genuinely proud of what we had just watched. This is a well-documented, thoughtfully produced film--one I can say without hesitation I highly recommend to family and friends. At a time when most documentaries confuse volume with value, Melania takes a far more confident--and far more effective--approach. It offers a positive, respectful portrait of a woman who has lived under relentless scrutiny and never surrendered her dignity to the noise. The film beautifully captures Melania Trump in the roles that matter most and are too often minimized today: mother, wife, and First Lady. Rather than treating these responsibilities as side notes, the documentary honors them as pillars. It shows a woman who understood duty, respected tradition, and carried herself with quiet confidence while the world demanded spectacle. What stands out most is how naturally the film presents her as an intelligent, classy, and beautiful woman--not as talking points, but as lived truth. Her intelligence shows in restraint. Her class in consistency. Her beauty in composure and grace under pressure. This is strength without theatrics and leadership without self-promotion. Visually, the documentary is polished and elegant. The pacing is deliberate, the storytelling measured, and the tone refreshingly fair. There's no rush to manufacture controversy. Instead, the filmmakers trust the audience to recognize character when they see it--something documentaries used to do, and should do again. One of the film's most endearing and human moments comes when Melania shares her favorite song: Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. It's a small detail, but it lands powerfully--peeling back the formality and reminding viewers that behind the titles is a woman shaped by culture, memory, and timeless influences. It's genuine, relatable, and quietly charming. In the end, Melania succeeds because it refuses to apologize for dignity. It doesn't shout, posture, or preach. It simply presents a life lived with discipline, loyalty, and grace--and lets that speak for itself. Verdict: A warm, uplifting, and respectful documentary that made me proud to watch and confident in recommending. A reminder that character still matters--and always will. read more

The sad thing about this review is that I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews. But after today, I felt obligated to share my experience. Firstly, I'm here a lot as I often get out of the house to go see movies because it helps my anxiety. Call me old-school if you want, but I can remember a time when people filled movie seats and now it just feels like a dying trend. Production studios don't earn a cent until weeks after a movie is released, so the only way movie theaters like this continue to stay in business is the overpriced concession stands. I am an AMC A-List member, which means I pay a monthly fee to see as many movies as I want, when I want and in any format. Coming in today, my friend was late to pick me up and since I don't have a car myself, I ordered my large drink, large popcorn and candy combo ahead of time. Craving an ICEE instead of a soda, I filled my large cup with a yummy frozen drink instead of a soft beverage. When browsing the front counter for a water cup, the manager gave me a lecture on filling my cup with ICEE instead of a soft drink. Explaining that I should've gotten an ICEE with a dome lid and how it screws up her inventory. As often I visit this movie theater and considering how much I spent on my combo on top of my monthly subscription, I will continue to fill my large drink with whatever I feel like. I've been doing it for years and really don't care about their limited inventory. As a former restaurant manager, I couldn't believe that I was getting a lecture about inventory from a concession stand manager. It honestly ruined my experience and it ruined the movie as I couldn't stop thinking about her attitude. And considering we were the only ones there on a slow Monday afternoon, I genuinely think they need the business more than they need to be giving valuable customers opinions about what I put into my large cup when I already paid more for the drink in my hand to begin with. I filled it with water for the second movie and took some iced tea when I left just out of funny protest. But the next time I ask for a free water cup, I will contact corporate if she ever rolls her eyes at me again. For a movie theater with sticky floors, brown seats and popcorn on floors that doesn't get cleaned up, I didn't appreciate this particular manager's comments at all... On a more positive note, the pepperoni pizza, even though overpriced as with everything else, was very good. But I don't recommend the chicken tenders... And if I ever see her again, I will be contacting AMC support for a full refund... It's not about the manager who's name I can't remember as the interaction kind of ruined the first flick for me..it's about the principle of the whole thing... read more

Order ahead was served on time and the drink machines were all working. Our order was correct. The seats are old and uncomfortable unless you pay for nicer theaters, but the new movie was only in digital theaters. Pretzel bites are greasy but the popcorn is always great. read more

I haven't been to the movies in multiple years. It's all different now. They have recliners which was super comfy. The seats are very close together. When my son had to use the bathroom, it was a hassle to get out with everybody reclining and some people not adjusting. That was interesting. The concessions are expensive but for a group of us sharing popcorn, it was a good option. We were able to get refills and the drink machine allowed us to get whatver drink we wanted. The theater was clean and we enjoyed our time. read more

While this is not my usual theater (I usually go to Pointe Orlando), I really appreciate that this theater has an IMAX, free parking, and is in the same plaza as the mall. So, I can go catch a movie, shop, and eat all in one area. I decided to visit this theater because I wanted to rewatch the movie Sinners again but in IMAX. I didn't want to pay for the prices at Pointe Orlando nor did I want to have to catch a late showing. So, naturally, AMC Altamonte Mall 18 had a time that worked well with my schedule and I didn't have to deal with the I-Drive hustle and bustle at Pointe Orlando. Overall, the theater is fine. It is an older one so it doesn't have all the fancy powered seats like some of the newer or recently upgraded theaters have. However, price points tend to be a bit cheaper at the older theaters too, so, that's always a perk. It was not too busy, so the lines moved quickly. The staff were kind. The bathrooms were clean. The seats' cup holders could have been cleaned better but hey, it was mid-day so I wasn't expecting a spotless theater. To be expected, the seats didn't recline, but they were comfortable enough. The theater also wasn't super freezing--like some tend to get. The movie, of course, was phenomenal. I'll probably be going to see it once more, to be honest. Ultimately, it was a good experience. I don't have a ton of complaints about this theater outside of not having powered reclining seats. Otherwise, it's a good theater. read more

Ive had it with this place! For years Ive put up with high prices, dirty theatures, long lines, slow employees...tonight we droped the kids off at 7pm to watch a PG13 movie after buying the tickets on Fandango. The kids came running back to the car because the 16 year old (probably) told my kids that there was an 8pm curfew and they had to be acompanied by a parent... if I had known, we could have easily gone somewhere else. Now the night is ruined, we, the parents, couldnt just leave them outside of the mall for 2 hours, so we brought them back home which made us too late to do what we had plans. There is only 1 night a week that we can go out and do things...i guess we will try again next week...you people suck! read more

I would consider this theater to be vintage as it's been around forever. I remember coming here as a kid to Spice World with a South Park the movie trailer running before it. That being said there is some wear and tear on old rusty the theater these days but AMC is still hanging in there! Massive amounts of parking as the mall parking garage is right next to it. Concessions are at up great so you can out your own butter on your popcorn and fill up your own drink. Love that. Seats need some work lol read more

Big theater even for movies a few weeks into their release. I wish they had the reclining seats, but it did not take away from the experience. So. Many. Snack. Options. We got the giant pretzel, and we could have fed a family of four. Worth it. The concession line was super long, and everyone's food seemed to take forever. Just budget some time for that. I like that they had the Freestyle Coke machines. read more

I live 2 minutes from this movie theater so it is clean, convenient, and reliable to see any of the new movies that I want to go see in the theaters. Unfortunately they do not have reclining seats in all their theaters as most Regal Movie Theaters do these days so it feels like I am paying the same price for a less enjoyable experience at AMC when I can see the same movie and pay the same price at Regal, but watch in a reclining seats. I will certainly continue to go to this theater as it is clean and it always has plenty of available showings of whatever movie I'm trying to watch but mainly it's because it is closest to my home. If you go and watch in the Dolby theater they have, it's a REALLY good experience. I would certainly recommend that, but it will cost you extra money. read more

This AMC needs some work. The IMAX theater is fairly nice with leather chairs and a huge screen, awesome sound. The other theaters are a bit outdated with dingy seats. The West Oaks Mall AMC theater has newly renovated theater seats with power reclining despite being in a dilapidated struggling shopping mall. This AMC is like the complete opposite despite the better location. I only come here because it's a lot closer to where I live. read more

Good theater. Older seats but the staff was helpful when we needed a ticket correction. AMC is a great theater for the family

i come here often, but it is not worth the price of a ticket for imax. the seats are comfortable but could be better for the cost along with the screen being imax it's not an overwhelming difference for the price difference read more

Every month or so I go to early movie screenings and the screenings are held here at this theater. The theater is nice , clean and the bar is usually pretty solid.

I will say I love going to the movies or even to movie screening at this location. It's really a special place that lets your imagination sparkle.

I would recommend that and the curly fries, of course. Their decor is still 90's type themed throughout the establishment. It makes it feel like you're walking into a special like a secret hideout.

Believe it or not there are still movie theaters at malls, a mall that still has great traffic and a theater that has great attendance and late showings! Welcome to AMC Altamonte Mall 18! It's all true...there is a thriving local theater; Disney Springs AMC is an anomaly because there is so much built in traffic that it's not a fair comparison. That being said, AMC Altamonte is a refreshing breath of air giving us hope that traditional movies may not all by dying. My only quasi-complaint is the lack of comfy recliners. If you want a recliner then you're going to Dolby however those reclines lot and I tend to fall asleep because of that lmao. I usually go to late showings and there is a decent crowd of people and gives you pleasure of a good group laugh or gasp at the peaks of the movie. That's what makes the "live at the movies" experience what it is....human interaction and enjoyment. The concession stand is good and usually well staffed for the late/last showings. The prices are what they are and you can't blame them locally. Popcorn is usually on point but this visit was a bit salty...hey it happens; not the end of the world. Overall this is a great theater that's well kept and even though we don't have giant recliners and dine in theaters it's still one of my local favorites. read more

Hm. where to start. We wanted to see bettle juice. We were tired of the theater closer to our house because of the worn out seats. We'll this was much worse. Dirty sticky cup holders dirty stained seats. I guess they do not clean between showings. I will under no circumstances come to this pig stye ever again. my skin will probably crawl for years to come. I need a memory scrub to forget this experience. I would rate the movie but that is a moot point considering the environment. I'm sure the TV room at the local state max prison is better kept read more

Love this theater. Come and visit. The only thing I don't like is the popcorn is easy to be handed out.

This movie theater really needs to update their seating within their theaters. There is only one theater that has reclining chairs. All the others have hard velvet seats the bend backwards slightly. Yes there is stadium seating but the actual chairs are not cutting KT. The prices of the popcorn, drinks, and food is high dollar so they should be able to afford an upgrade to their seating. This is not my theater of choice. I like to be comfortable while watching movies and there are other theaters that are not only cheaper but all their theaters have reclining chairs. This AMC needs to do better! read more

Pros: *Dolby Cinema *location *coke products Cons: *The only theaters with recliners are the 2 Dolby/imax theaters. All the other ones are the outdated, uncomfortable, way-too-close-together seats *For some reason, this theater doesn't believe in air conditioning. It is always so hot in there that I bring a personal fan, which is ridiculous *Bathrooms are always gross *Concessions is a joke. AMC Stubs offers mobile ordering but none of the employees are designated to fulfill them. I've had to wait 15-20 minutes for food I ordered 2 hours in advance because no one is paying attention or working. They have like 6 people behind the counter and all but one are working so slow, managers are nonexistent...it's terrible. This is the closest, somewhat decent theater to me in Sanford, but they keep being consistently worse that I'd rather drive even further to a good theater. So sad. read more

I personally would not go back to this theater. I feel so cramped in the seats are so old school they don't even recline. I don't know if they were being cheap, but it was hot in the theater. We went to see Mission impossible in IMAX and I was not impressed at all. read more
