    My little family and I went to watch the Conjuring today and I must say that I really enjoy going to this AMC Theatre in Chula Vista. The reclining seats make the experience super comfortable and they have a fully stocked bar and concession stand with plenty of options. I usually buy my tickets on their AMC App and purchase during matinee hours since it's a great deal and totally worth it especially if you have family and friends with you. I Definitely recommend signing up for AMC Rewards because you can earn free goodies and discounts! I used my 5.00 off for my purchase today. Thanks AMC.

    This AMC has reclining seats making it more comfortable to sit through Avatar. We placed an order on the app for pick up and our order was made fresh and ready at the scheduled time. We have gone to other AMC theaters where the scheduled ready time is not accurate. This lobby is a little smaller than others but it makes it convenient to get snacks and use the bathroom.

    I came to AMC Chula Vista 10 on July 18, 2025, to celebrate my friend's graduation from nursing school with a movie night. We had a 4-year-old child with us and reserved three recliner seats in Theater 10 for the 9:40 PM showing of Eddington. Instead of a relaxing night, we were harassed and threatened by a volatile patron sitting near our assigned seats--and AMC staff failed at every opportunity to resolve the issue properly. We were aggressively told our seats were "saved" (they weren't), mocked when we tried to de-escalate, and even witnessed the couple actively smoking a weed pen inside the auditorium. When I calmly confronted them later to clear the air, the man escalated to profanity and threats. We immediately notified staff, but instead of removing the disruptive guests, AMC offered us the option to either sit elsewhere and be "monitored" occasionally or leave entirely. The theater failed to: * Verify tickets when the seat conflict was reported * Address drug use * Respond adequately to threats (the security guard looked completely untrained) * Protect a mother and child from targeted harassment I've since filed a formal corporate complaint outlining everything in detail--from the verbal abuse to AMC's lack of protocol and accountability. I will only consider updating this review once the corporate office responds appropriately and confirms that real action has been taken. AMC cannot claim to be a family-safe environment if guests who threaten, lie, and smoke inside are allowed to stay--while respectful patrons are forced to leave. We deserve better.

    It's no wonder AMC is tanking. Golly, I hate weiring negative reviews but Stan Durwood (founder of AMC) is rolling in his grave. One cashier/ticket taker so they were Al over the place. She was nice but you can't be in two places at once so we all suffered. The concession line was 22 people deep. Three lines that were poorly marked. So long we bypassed the stand altogether. Theatres four has 64 most of which are so close as to be painful. That's because The screen is very high off the floor, so neck pain is guaranteed. Add to this, the house lights came up about 2 hours into Wicked. We had to fetch someone and still it took ten minutes for them to go down.. Totally ruined the event. Over all a bad theatre and a bad experience. The sound was good and at a nice volume. Picture was clear and well lit. Go to Reading Grossmont or the Lot. Far better options.

    Nice comfy seats for his & her's.

    This has became my fav movie theater in the SouthBay. Customer service is good, food pricey yes, food is ok but service & friendliness is good. What I like here is the cleanliness & the seats. Love that the seats are comfortable & they recline. You can bring blankets to get more comfortable, so if on a date this theater is great for getting closer & comfortable reclining back with a blanket & enjoying the movie. You can bring your own snacks & bottle or can drinks they really don't check you or tell you no which is good. Overall a good little Movie Theater that is ran pretty good :)

    I love that I live so close to this theater! This is one of the few theaters that has reclining seats in the area. Always great service and a very clean theater. Plenty of parking as it's at the mall. Service has always been good never had any issues at this theater.

    Escalator that leads to theater, but the one going up has been inoperable for years , safety issue

    My all-time favorite AMC 10 movie theater Chula Vista, next the Palm Promenade 24. I call it my neighborhood theater. It's not a huge theater, it's simple layout, no long walks to get to your auditorium location, just one hallway, when it's busy, expect messy, expect chaos, expect loud, and longer food lines, there's always staff around at the ticket and food counter, there's a bar, and staff are busy cleaning Likes: premium member, spacious reclining chairs, popcorn, and lots of parking Dislikes: the escalator going up has been inoperable for years (could be lack of funds), this is a safety issue. There is one elevator and stairs. Always a good experience at this location with family. My young grand kids love it too. We can never get lost with one short corridor

    Definitely my go to for Amcscreenunseen viewings! Staff is friendly and professional and they're always someone around to assist.

    Out of all AMC theaters in San Diego, I enjoy this location the most. It's close to my place, plenty of parking and comfortable reclining seats. They also sell alcoholic beverages for adults. Only thing I dislike about this location is that only one area to purchase non alcoholic beverages and food. The line can rather be long so come early. Bathrooms are clean for the most part and clean in the theater. Never had a bad experience here.

    If you're gonna see the awesome Top Gun Maverick, bring sunglasses, a serious face and an F-14 ball cap!
    Ron R.

    I was so excited to finally go see Top Gun Maverick that I actually drove to the wrong theater initially! Fortunately I left early and made it right on the second run, just like Maverick did when he blew up the target in the test run! OK! No more spoilers!! I noticed first of all that this is a pretty small-sized theater. I think the Plaza Bonita is probably much larger from appearances on my mistaken run, but the size wasn't overly my concern about Chula Vista 10. Another ok feature was the limited size of the lobby, ticket, and concession area. I would say if two popular movies were showing at the same time, people will probably be stepping on each other. Well, I can say I wasn't overly impressed, but the pluses were the screen and the sound. Top Gun Maverick was made for the theater and I am so happy that I did that instead of waiting for the stream version or DVD. But what was concerning was the large hole and and tears in the upholstery in my recliner. When this happens, the seating doesn't get better with age. I wanted to be gracious and give the AMC CV 10 a higher score, but I think the owners need to get some Maverick motivation and make some renovation on the individual theaters, especially the seating recliners. Recommend: MED

    This is an example of what you get when you go to an early matinee besides 25% off an empty theater

    Workers were super friendly. Popcorn was fresh and not stale. The recliners are actually a lot more comfortable than the Dolby ones.

Well my 13 year old daughter went to the bathroom during the movie and apparently was needing to take more time than usual, she said her stomach hurt and she had trouble going. I went to check on her and was told she shouldn't be in the bathroom long and they were closing it so she had to get out now and we also were told we could not finish watching our movie and was forced to leave the theater. I didn't understand why as I asked if she had done anything to cause this. The staff lady said she's in the handicapped stall and she can't be in there so we have to get her out. My daughter has special needs and I asked if I could go inside the bathroom to check on her and get her out. I was told no! I had to stand there screaming to my daughter asking if she is ok. She is yelling back saying I'm coming mom. When she came out the staff escorted us out telling us we had to leave and could get a refund. I asked why and said we were watching a movie we would like to finish. They refused to allow us to watch the movie and refunded our tickets instead. This was the worst experience Ive ever had going to the movies with my well behaved children. I reached out to the corporate office to give feedback and were given ai responses saying that we got a refund so there's no issue. They stated it was their policy to remove us. I asked them to please share what their policy is and what did we do wrong to be kicked out? We've never been escorted out of a movie theater because my daughter used the handicapped bathroom. I persisted in trying to get a live persons response at their corporate office but they did absolutely nothing. Not even apologize for ruining our movie and making us feel like this was strictly discrimination. It's Avoid this theater! They will kick you out if you are brown or have special needs, just because they feel like it. Worst place to see a movie.

I love stadium seating but they are still the old chairs from decades ago. Most theaters have recliners now so it's a huge drawback. We came here in a pinch because this was the only showing in the city, but based on the seats this won't be a top contender for future movies. Also note that I am only referring to screen 1, since that's the only one I sat in. But if the IMAX theatre is like that I am assuming the rest are as well.
