Went last Friday evening to take my sons to watch Five Night at Freddy 2. I used the app to purchase tickets and super easy to check in (sidenote: I do have AT&T & noticed that the internet was on the slower side loading things on the app). Purchased popcorn and drinks and found our seats. As the trailers for other movies were playing I noticed a few employees helping customers with their chairs as they were not working. The employees were professional and took care of the chair issues promptly. The theater was full and with the movie being geared towards kids there was some excess noise yet nothing too distracting. The employees kept coming in and watched over the theater which definitely helped the movie experience. Overall, had a great experience! The only note is that the screen was dark which made the visual experience a bit lacking. read more

First time ever being in an AMC theater so didn't have much to expect. Cute little theater; it was clean and organized well. The workers seemed like they didn't want to be there but they didn't give us attitude or anything. Inside the rooms themselves are very small. Not even 50 people can be in each theater room. The screen is really in your face when seated. Their chairs are very uncomfortable, bonus points for them reclining and having a little bit of space to cuddle up with your partner next to you though. It was an okay experience. read more

The place was cramped and the counter area was a mess. The movie theatre was decent only had a hard time getting the right seat from the screen since I went as disabled they put me on the top row. Inconvenient for a wheel chair. I would find another theater from that experience. Maybe next time. The movie Anaconda was less than expected. read more

The speakers were a little loud but i do like the intro before every movie starts, and the seats were nice and comfy read more

AMC Bakersfield 6 - I saw "Roofman" starring Channing Tatum last week I liked it! I didn't know that it was based on a true story when hid inside a Toys "R" Us - Cinema Near Me - Bakersfield, California

One of, if not the smallest movie theater in town with only 6 theaters. Old location for the $Dollar theater, there really wasn't anything that excited me about this place. Ordered the tickets online which makes things easier, people can also order food available for pickup before the movie time. read more

I usually go to Maya for my movie outings, but I was invited to join a friend for her birthday here, so of course I tried it out. Sadly, I wasn't swayed to make this my new movie spot. The theater lobby is super small with only 6 individual theaters inside. This means they have a much more limited schedule because they can't have the same movie running in multiple theaters to overlap times. Also, the theaters themselves were VERY small. I was initially impressed with the mini bar because not many theaters have a liquor license, but the drinks were about $15 each and not very strong. Also, be aware that you are forced to tip if you pay with a card. I wish I knew this before dropping a few loose dollars in the tip cup. The seats are more like home recliners and very puffy; they also have the unique option of lifting the middle arm rest so you can really cuddle up with your date if you want to. The down side was that both me and my friend had issues with positioning the chairs because the buttons weren't working properly. All in all, the experience was ok, but nothing to write home about. I think I'll stick with Maya. read more

New to the Bakersfield area, we've been AMC A List members for years though, and have visited different AMC's throughout the United States not just Southern California. We were incredibly underwhelmed by the Bakersfield AMC and frankly a bit dissatisfied with the franchise. So much that we're actually considering termination our membership since this is the only AMC in the area and it's so terrible. This location does not offer any of the premium screens, the seats are old and weathered, just an old run down theater. We were told it used to be the old cheap theater before it was bought over by AMC, we have high hopes that AMC does something to bring it back to life. read more

Best theater in town. Seats are so comfortable! Lots of leg room. And great service. We went to other theaters and finally tried here after years. Now wont go anywhere else. read more

Screens are too dark. My neck hurts when watching movies. I would suggest other theatres in town.

I hate this theater! It's so small inside the theater and the screen is so close it gives you a headache trying to watch the movie that you paid for! I paid $28 for 2 adults and a child and the theater is a quarter the size of a theater. The screen is much smaller than normal. I'm so upset! They wouldn't even refund my money or give a credit. I don't recommend coming to this place at all. Over never seen such a small theater. read more

i have been a amc movie head for years. i used to have membership. since moving to bakersfield a few years back...i have only gone there to see 2 films. the only thing reason i don't give it 5 is because it is a little theatre. like a mini movie spot. i prefer bigger theatre's. read more

I've been a long time AMC customer and Stub member so I was completely shocked by how management handle our situation. My friend and I came to see a movie for our double date and had the worse experience I've ever had. I was told that we were talking too much during the movie and when I explained I was laughing at the movie, not talking she said that because we were reported multiple times for talking she needed to ask us to leave. I told her I believed the couple that was reporting us had a problem with my friend kissing her girlfriend (lesbian relationship) and that's why they wanted us to leave. While talking with management the couple came out from the movie and continued to harass and nothing was done about them and they were still able to see their movie. Thankfully I got my refund, but as a long time customer for AMC I'm definitely not coming back after the experience I had. read more

There might be bigger and better movie theatres around but this is the one I enjoy going to. I use the app and pick out my seats. You don't have to rush to get there and stand in line. The line for the concession stand has never been too long. If you use the app you get a refill on the popcorn and you get your own fountain drink. They do have a bar for the people who like to have a drink. I never saw a movie here when it was a discount theatre. I know they remodeled it and they put in nice reclining chairs. The bathroom is always clean when we have been here. I don't have any complaints except I wish it was closer to where I live. read more

We like coming here because the tickets are inexpensive and they have great bundles on popcorn and drinks and if you're a member (free) you get popcorn refills! There's a bar with everything you need, employees are friendly, and the theater is comfy and clean. read more

I've visited all the theaters in town and this one is just okay. It's not the best and it's not the worst either. In the past year or two this theater has upgraded into a regular theater. This theater used to be the dollar theater until recently. We had visited a few weeks back and we were grabbing our snacks at the concession stand and almost everything we tried to order... the lady was like... I don't know why they keep those pictures up, but we are not a full AMC theater so we don't carry that. Haha I was like... well then, what can we get then? Just give us that. Anyway, this theater is a little smaller than the other ones. The seats recline and are more comfy than what it used to be, but when I sit there for a long time, my neck and my back hurt from the way the chairs are. It's not bad, but it's not the best chairs either. Prices are reasonable and they play all the new movies. read more

If I was possible I would give it a one.The seats were stained,and I can't make this up a group of teenagers were smoking in the row next to me. Then they didn't even get kicked out even though I'm not sure but I'm pretty positive because I heard them talking.One in the group didn't pay for their tickets in Advance and a staff member had to come and they paid for it in the theater, while we were watching the movie.If you're looking for a good theater with good deals I would recommend the Maya the prices are very similar. read more

It's not a terrible theatre. There's just better choices. Concessions are lacking. If it's overcrowded, it means it'll possibly be worse than most because the reclining seats going into your knees. It's like being in an overcrowded airplane. You're sardine canned in, depending on where you sit. Which is touch with the assigned seating. (Do all theatres have assigned seating? It's kinda crappy. Too strict.) The staff are great. Same with managerial. I and my date were unfortunate enough to have started a movie and then a 7.1 earthquake hit, making us have to leave and then close. Not their fault. They refunded us with a "any movie" voucher, which is inclusive of any ticket, even if 3D or what have you. I'd only go to this theatre again if it's playing something the others aren't. read more

Came to see Mario it's 8:30pm the soda area was dirty only one side had ice, no kids combos, I figured they would make a small popcorn and no they just didn't sale none at all I would not come here again disappointed. read more

Group of 7 went to see the Super Mario Movie. The last seat in row D in theater 2 was broken. It was reclined at an uncomfortable angle and wouldn't move. So I had to have 2 kids sit in one seat. I told an employee so we wouldn't be blamed for breaking the chair and he said "ok". I wasn't expecting a refund since we did see the movie but it would have been nice of them to make sure we had enough seats. Then on the way out we stopped in the middle of the theater to say hello to friends and an employee asked us to move because we were blocking the flow of traffic. We turned around and nobody was coming in or out of the theaters. The only reason we chose this theater was because the Maya was sold out of the times we wanted to go. Next time I will just wait and go to the Maya. read more

I love this small movie theater. We went for $5.00 Tuesday... which all the theaters in town does this promotion. I chose my assigned seats online before I arrived. Time saver!!! Its clean in here. The concession stand is neat and they have a full bar! Their nachos are so good here and fresh!! They give you 2 cups of nacho cheese. Also, whatever drink size you get, it's free refills! Yes!!! The seats are so comfortable. They are Leather and they lean back. Only problem is when you sit too long it starts to heat up your bum. Since you have assigned seats and dont want to watch the previews/new trailers I recommend you come 20 mins after the start time.... it was 30 mins of trailers before the movie actually started which was pretty ridiculous! 3 trailers are more than plenty.... Overall it was a good experience, our snack bill was higher then our tickets. Tickets were 15.00 for 3 adults and snacks came out to 26.00... still saving though... so cant really complain. Enjoy!!! read more

Before I start this review I have to admit, over the last 2 years I have become a movie theatre snob. I usually visit the luxury theatre, Tulare Galaxy, but opted to try this place out since they've also claimed to be a luxury theatre. As soon as I walked into this place I was disgusted. This place was so dirty. There was Popcorn and dirt stains all over the floor. The lobby is not very big at all so I don't understand how this place could have gotten so dirty. Lost 1 star. The actual theatre is small, and the first row seats are very close to the screen itself. The doors are so thin and the theatre rooms are so close together that you can hear all the outside noise! All of it!!! It was very disturbing when you're trying to watch a movie. When the movie next to us released before we did it was so noisy!! Lost 2 stars. The restroom was DISGUSTING! Dirty floors, dirty sinks, dirty mirrors, dirty stalls, no toilet paper!!!! This bathroom was super tiny, so why? Why is it not being kept up? I looked for a bathroom check list, some places put them up where there customers can see that someone actual comes in every hour to tidy up. Lost 1 star. Their food was good!! My husband love their pizza and my daughter and her friend loved their mozzarella sticks! 1 Star! Come on.... let's clean house and try to keep it clean guys. read more

This would be the best theater in Bakersfield but . . . It is unbearably loud. So loud it's uncomfortable. I took my son here to see sonic and he had his hands on his ears the entire time. I've been here 4 times, and it's always the same. Lat time, my ears were ringing after the show. I have no idea what they are thinking. I just can't take it anymore. read more

Those seats !!!! Can't say enough about how comfy these reclining seats are. The arm rest moves up too , so if you decide to snuggle up you can. This is my favorite theater in town! I downloaded the AMC app , when you pre purchase tickets in the app, you also choose your seats. It's awesome !!! No more arriving super early to grab decent seats , your amazing comfy red recline seat awaits you read more

There was a cricket chirping in the room the whole damn time! Several of us went to complain and the worker took a while to come, and all he did was shake the curtains and left. The chirping did not stop for the entire movie. I really wish I could have asked for a refund but we had already paid for a babysitter so we stuck through it. We could barely concentrate on the movie and am disappointed that the staff didn't make any real efforts to get rid of the cricket! What a waste of a movie. read more

If I could help you get this place is zero for customer service I would !! Horrible horrible experience so horrible I can't even write about it .... Never again read more

Meh. I gave this place a try a handful of years ago, and I was disappointed that they advertised cocktails but they would only serve beer and wine because the bartender happened to be out. Flashforward to today, years later, and I give it another chance...and surprise surprise, there's still no bartender, which means no cocktails, and only beer and wine (I dont drink either). I'm starting to think this place doesn't actually have a bartender. If you advertise cocktails, they should be available to purchase. I never have this problem with at Studio Movie Grill, and this just reminds me why I'm loyal to that theater. Even the AMC pass isn't enough to make it enticing. read more

AMC you should be embarrassed. Seating is fine but customer service is awful. Way over priced disappointing food. Drink machine doesn't work, out of hamburger buns, all beef hot dogs won't be ready for 45 minutes and cookie missing from food. Totally opposite experience from the other food and bar theaters in town. Oh, and sweep the stinking floor. read more

A long time a ago, well before my time, there was a saying; Cadillac service... well AMC is trying to do this, but with a nice Cadillac driven by a crappy Kia! AMC has invested to make a nice physical experience. Nice seats, if you can figure the use out, a decent menu, with much wait and confusing lines, and EOTH service. Seriously, $10 bucks for an 8oz domestic beer?! ‍ what are you, Dodgers stadium? I digress... However, they fall so short. If you go a few miles, for about the same price, you get Studio movie grill. There you will get Cadillac service, mostly. They still have some issues to work out, but head and shoulders' over AMC in delivery. People were very nice and professional, just a poor execution of service with the lines and poor digital ticketing. DOS : 8/11 1620 showing of Hobbs and Shaw seat D10. read more

Have you ever watched the show Queer Eye? Each episode a scraggly person with outdated style spends the week with a group of five fabulous gay men with an amazing sense of style that see his hidden potential and transform his environment, his outside look, and his perception of himself, building his self confidence and turning him into an entirely new hip and edgy creature that friends and family barely recognize. The AMC Bakersfield 6 theater has gone through a similar radical change since my last review in 2012. Gone are the uncomfortable chairs, the air conditioning that struggled, and often failed to cool the small theaters that showed second run movies for pennies (well, dollars). Cue the fabulous presto change-o magic transformation - minus the devastatingly handsome gay men, sigh. Everything about this theater is hip, happening, edgy, insert appropriate adjective here. The theaters have recliners as seats. Not movie theater seats that lean back; actual recliners that are well stuffed, lean all the way back, have their own armrests, and a footpad that raises up to support your feet. It's like watching the movie from the comfort of home, but on the big screen with your buddies. All the recliners are numbered. When you purchase your tickets you select the actual seat you are going to sit in. This is a wonderful advance because you know exactly where you are going to sit so there is no reason to rush into the theater to try to save seats. Just be aware that if you want to sit next to a friend you will have to plan that out ahead of time to make sure that your friend purchases a ticket for the seat next to yours. No tradesies once you make your purchase. Once you purchase your ticket, head on over to the concession stand to purchase some food. Yes, they offer traditional options like soda and popcorn, but they also had real food options. The most exciting part? There is a bar next to the concession stand. Yes, you read that correctly. You can purchase alcoholic drinks at this theater. So far, I have not felt the urge to indulge in adult beverages, but it is nice to know that it is an option. If you are looking for a first class movie viewing (and drinking and munching) experience, AMC Bakersfield 6 is the place to go here in town. read more

Well the AMC needed to be more clean got sone got pictures are the floor very dirty counter area also & the bad part was not even busy this was a Thursday need to be better managed my 1st impression was bad.

My boyfriend took me to this theater to see The Super Mario Bros. in 3D. I enjoyed the movie but found the theater lacking in several ways: The seats were full of popcorn despite the fact that the theater had just opened. They serve food, but there are no tables or trays. The food is fairly greasy and comes in cardboard containers. I covered my lap with layers of napkins, but the grease soaked through and ruined my jeans. Additionally, the "MacGuffins Bar" was closed due to "software updates" that apparently didn't affect the other concessions. A margarita might have made it a more enjoyable experience. I won't return to this theater. read more

This Theater has seen many changes over the years, I'm so glad it's still here. I went today to see Scream and the employee at the concession stand was very friendly and outgoing. He made my experience better just by the conversation back and forth. The refill soda machine is awesome with many different flavors to chose from. With all the theaters upgrading to bigger, it's not always better. If you are simple kind of person and want a vintage movie going experience this is the theater for you. The area is small but I like that sort of environment. The popcorn is pretty good, so good I had to get a refill. The employees here helped with everything I needed. I love this place and will definitely return. read more

You can NOT rate this place any less, and can't complain too much of this place because HONESTLY, I am glad it's here. I can enjoy a 2wk or older movie with a simple budget Pros: -Less than $2 EVERYDAY for movie tickets -parking (hit or miss depending on the day and movie) -$1 hot dogs -$0.75 TUESDAYS! -LESS crowded -it's nice to go out once in a while and watch a movie at a theater instead of renting from a Redbox, netflix, blockbuster, or actually being at the Expensive theaters with a huge crowd. -Before you go you can hang out at the little ice cream shop in the front of the place, and enjoy a little piece of heaven at that mom&pop creamery! Cons: -Bathrooms, grossssss! why can't they maintain that bathroom? or why can't ladies just be LADIES and be CLEAN! yuck! it was decent in the beginning, now girls just down know how to FLUSH or use toilet paper! -theater size and seats, you can tell the seats are a little beat up and the theater space is not your typical THEATER "space" -They do not show ANY newly released movies, ( of course not, for less than $2? get real!) -sometimes you have to pay inside the theater, Can't you just really pay at the booth? at least give me feel of nostalgia going to those classic movie theater and let me pay at the BOOTH! (or that's just me..) All in all, this place is a huge hit or miss, it's nice because some days there arn't that many kids and some days there's a whole flock of them. I come here no matter what, gives me something to do and be out of the house in this town and not hurt my wallet so much. read more

Their movie theater was really clean although the popcorn was a bit hard to eat I think because of how long it was sitting but definitely would go back read more

I read the reviews about this theater before I went, and I think many of them date back to before the AMC merger. It's a much better experience now. First, it is a lot cleaner, partly due to the new tile in the foyer and concession area. The floor is no longer ancient stained and smelly carpet, and it gives the theater a sharper look. Service is still slow. We arrived at 11:35 for a noon movie, and the box office already had a long line. The window opened at 11:45, and there was only one person selling tickets. Very slow. The concession line was then similarly long, and at first there was only one worker there as well. Another person did arrive, and that helped. Prices are high on most things; $3.50 seems to be the cheapest candy or soda, $5 popcorn. You can get a hot dog for 99 cents, so I had two of those, and they were pretty good for average hot dogs. I sense that the upgrades to the theater itself have not yet trickled down to the employees; there need to be a few more bodies to make things run more efficiently. Still, for $1.50, I am really not complaining. There were numerous previews prior the film we saw, and the now-standard news and trivia roll as we waited. We liked that. Sound and projection were excellent. One thing I like about this theater is that they get movies after the first run is over, before they leave town. It gives us a little more time to get into see movies in our busy lives. Finally, the air conditioning is on full blast. I was very refreshed until I was freezing. I think maybe that's where they're putting most of your buck fifty, instead of hiring people. Glad I had a jacket! Overall, a B-, maybe, but we'll be back when they get their next films. read more

AMC Bakersfield 6 - Busy line! - Cinema Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Place should turn back into a Dollar Theater. Each subsequent visit this place has gotten dirtier and more trashy. Our last visit, there was trash covering the lobby floor, they ran out of overpriced water bottles, and were trying to sell soda cups, at soda prices for tap water. This was my favorite theater, when they reopened with the nice seats, screens and sound. Not worth the price of admission now. I don't see AMC lasting in this market. Manager was extremely rude with her inability, or unwillingness to correct horrible customer service. read more
