    This is a smaller theater associated with a big brand. The cinemas were spacious and had reclining seats (which I like) covered with leather (which I do not). The movie selection had something worth seeing, and while the theater did not appear to have dedicated parking there were some garages for the small suburban shopping center in which this building rests. It was fairly crowded, but not to the point where I couldn't find something. The previews were quite long. It was a passable experience, but I didn't get the bigger, higher-quality screen that I was hoping for when I searched online.

    Affordable matinee prices

    Had a great time at this theater, came in for a matinee and it was practically empty. Everything is on one floor, which makes navigation super easy. Staff are friendly, and if you're not in the mood to socialize you can use the automated machines. The theater was clean, and well kept, plus the chairs recline which was an added surprise.

    Large screens Parking lot and garage parking (don't know if there's a few for the garage) Small lobby No paper towels in the bathroom Theater is spacious, comfy recliner chairs and was actually pretty clean for a late movie (8pm). Didn't interact with any staff besides the guy scanning your tickets. Snack food line was long so arrive early enough to join. The theater was full I believe I was in theater 4 which has a dent in the screen

    MY nephew is an anime fan, so we decided to snag tickets to DRAGON BALL SUPER: SUPER HERO during opening weekend. After leaving Pentagon City, we wanted to check out a new-to-us movie theater nearby, and AMC Shirlington was the closest. Comfy [reserved] seats + good audio/visual + cold drinks = two happy campers. We'll definitely return. Notes: PARKING - FREE: Lot, garage, street SERVICE - Polite OPTIONS - Suitable PRICE - Fair __ I eat. @f.hux I thrift. @DCthriftish

    Decided to catch a movie on my day off. I got there just in time to see "Are your there God? It's me Margaret." I decided to stop by MacGuffin's Bar on the way in. I got a glass of wine and some mozzarella sticks since I had not eaten yet. The wine was nice and cold, while the mozzarella sticks were hot and fresh. I liked that the theater had assigned seating. They also reclined and had a built in cup holder. I would definitely come back.

    Ask the Community - AMC Shirlington 7

    Is there free parking for the theater?

    Yes, but not specifically for the theater. There are several parking garages in the area for the retail (and entertainment) in the area. My advice is to budget an extra ten minutes for parking and walking to the theater.

    How is the parking?

    There are a couple of close by parking buildings and limited street parking. The closest building can get crowded, but we generally find a spot.

    25th July 2026 Crystal City…read more Arlington, VA Whilst attending our conference in Crystal City Arlington VA, we took Saturday afternoon break to go see the Christopher Nolan film, the ODYSSEY with a totally ripped Matt Damon (55) starring in the role of Odysseus on his treacherous journey home to Ithaca. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Crystal City is a 49,000 sq foot, 9 screen modern cinema, with the luxury of food and drink service at your reclining plush leather seat. To place your food order, use the QR code for the menu, make your choices and press the convenient built-in server call button to summon the server to take care of your order preference. For food, I prefer to stick to plain popcorn to consume in the dark, anything else would be distracting. A big plus is their enforced strict policy against talking or texting during films. I wish more cinemas would have the same warning given at the start of every film. The Alamo Drafthouse has a premium auditorium featuring an enormous 66 foot wide screen laser projection with immersive Dolby Atmos 52 speaker surround sound which really packs a punch. Thankfully, we wore our earbuds, or would have experienced some hearing stress or loss. ***Do arrive 30 minutes early to get your food and drinks orders in, thus to avoid being interrupted during the movie** Enjoy!

A Manager approached me, and told me ~I~ was the problem. I acknowledged trying to get these folks, who were ruining the movie for all of the patrons. Who ALSO paid ~$19 for this movie.. to PLEASE stop talking over the movie. I was told to leave. I'm not just presenting a problem... I'm presenting a possible solution: Maybe. Just maybe. Have managers not just hang out (hide) somewhere. How about for the 1st 1/2hrs of a $19 movie, with $15 popcorn, they hang in the actual theater, and check in a couple of times, to identify people who are disruptive in any way..? and ask them to be polite to everyone trying to enjoy a movie? Nahhh... I know... that's crazy talk. Expecting someone to be polite in public. Or a manager to be proactive to ensure ALL guests enjoy the show. Back to Netflix and Streaming for me. Such a disappointment.

But I have friends in Ballston and it also helps that compared to AMC Courthouse there's a food court in Ballston Quarter offering more food variety. The Regal in Ballston feels contemporary when you're in the theatre and dated when you're outside of it. There's not really a ton going on and there's a lot of big space between the theatres. Wish there was some decorations of upcoming films or something the main lobby where the concessions are has more character but also feels very limited and the lighting is a bit meh. But the theatre itself is good. It might not be my first pick for a theatre given Regal isn't a chain i usually see movies at but Ballston Quarter as a whole is just a nice spot overall that it's hard not to kill two birds with one stone.

You must park in the garage (not in the outdoor lot or street parking). They had a machine to validate the parking ticket at the guest services counter, and we were covered for the full three hours. It was easy to find the theater. We took the escalators up and found the kiosks parked right outside the movie theater entrance. They had multiple kiosks in the hallway where you can buy your tickets and order food in advance. Once you enter the theater lobby, there's even more kiosks set-up. There was even extra lobby/lounge seating if you want to enjoy your food and drinks outside the theater. (Note: this is for the movie theater food, not your own - outside food and drinks are not allowed.) There's another bar dining area and additional theaters (9-14) on the upper level. Reclining leather seats have become the norm at most movie theaters. But LOOK raises the bar with heated seats AND buttons to adjust the headrest. We are living in the future here! But wait, there's more. They have swinging trays attached for a "movie-dinner" experience and QR codes on said seat trays to scan and have the food delivered right to your seat! You can also order at the concessions stand, but it's just not as fun (though there is an 18% service fee tacked on... call it a built-in gratuity for the door-to-door service). Brunch items are served before 2pm. They also have alcoholic beverages for that adult dining experience. We ordered popcorn and a soda and one of their brunch items - Chicken and Pancakes! The popcorn and soda were brought directly to the seats within five minutes. The chicken and pancakes came about 30 minutes later, while the movie had already started. We actually thought they had forgotten about the chicken and pancakes because there was no acknowledgment of the order being worked on when the popcorn was delivered. Several other people received their food items throughout the movie (the staff have little flashlights and will make their way to you). It can be a little distracting, but it winds down as most people will be watching the movie instead of ordering more food on their phone. People ordered pizzas, bowls, chicken tenders, burgers, etc. Instead of the movie theater smelling like popcorn, it smells like a restaurant (primarily of hot fried foods). This can make you hungry during the movie and might make you want to order more food. I was tempted to order fries during the movie, but I opted to keep my phone away and enjoy the movie. At the end of the movie, four giant trash cans were near the exits and they were overflowing. Good for the theater for making all those concession sales, and good for the audience for cleaning up after themselves. We sat in Row D and I did find the sound to be a smidge too loud. Some scenes in the movie were a little pixelated. I'm not sure if that's due to me sitting in the fourth row (too close to the screen) or if that's more on the movie studio. Restrooms were okay... generally clean, which I would hope since we were one of the first screenings of the day. I will note that the sink water pressure wasn't great and some of the sinks didn't seem to work. But overall, this is a nice movie theater experience if you're looking to indulge, kick back, relax, and enjoy the show.

    Dear reader, AMC…read moreCourthouse Plaza 8 is one of my favourite neighborhood theatres. Located in Arlington's Courthouse area, it is literally just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Courthouse Metro station, making it incredibly convenient whether you're coming from DC, Alexandria, or elsewhere in Northern Virginia. Although it's a smaller AMC, it still offers a solid variety of movies and showtimes, so it never feels limiting. The staff are consistently friendly and quick, whether you're picking up mobile concessions or scanning your ticket to head inside. The theatres are always clean, everything is in good working order, and the biggest upgrade is the reclining seats. Every auditorium has the comfortable recliners, which make even the longest movies much more enjoyable. The lobby also has a few claw machines, which are a fun little distraction if you arrive early. Overall, this theatre combines convenience, comfort, and reliable service into exactly the kind of moviegoing experience I keep coming back for.

I also loved the older movie posters scattered throughout the theater. They add a nostalgic touch that feels like a little trip down movie-theater memory lane. And speaking of nostalgia...the carpet definitely looks like it could have been installed sometime in the late '80s or early '90s. The theater could use a slight refresh, but I kind of appreciate that it still has some of that old-school character. The theater is spread across three levels--three screens on the bottom floor, two on the main floor, and three upstairs. The auditorium we were in was one of the smaller ones, so there really wasn't a bad seat in the house. Staff was friendly and service was quick. One thing that really stood out was seeing a staff member cleaning the theater after the show. He made a point of thanking customers for coming, which was a nice personal touch. Concessions are pretty much what you'd expect at a movie theater. We grabbed chicken tenders, popcorn, and a drink, and of course, the Coke Freestyle machines are always a nice bonus. Overall, 4 stars. It may be an older theater that could use a refresh, but the comfortable recliners, friendly staff, smaller auditoriums, and nostalgic atmosphere make AMC Courthouse 8 a solid place to catch a movie.

    6/8/21 Yesterday my…read morewife and I decided to go to the movie theater and watch a movie.  The movie we picked is called Spiral. The movie happens to been a spinoff from the Saw Series, but has elements of what John Kramer wanted with the brutality of Amanda and Hoffman. I learned the meaning behind the name and it has to do with what John Kramer said to...not going to ruin it for you.  If you saw any or all of the Saw movies, than you might know what I am talking about already.  Enough said.  The movie was good, but I figured it out not to long after it started. I would have liked it if I was wrong, but I wasn't.  Still, I liked how Chris Rock played a serious roll.   I would like to see more of this style of acting from him. The movie theater was pretty empty,  but this is, because people were already watching movies. The theater did not have everything you could eat on the food menu. Food preparation wasn't done yet when we arrived.     Still talking to the employee (who's name I have forgotten) was a pleasure. She had a great attitude and wonderful smile.  Apparently we brighten her morning just by talking to her and making her laugh. As The Joker once said to goon, "haven't you heard the healing power of laughter?" The employee would remember us for most of the day. The cheese sticks dipped into cheese sauce tasted better than dipping the cheese sticks into ranch sauce.  My wife really enjoyed the pretzel bites. I went with the Mountain Dew frozen drink.  My wife went with a large cup if water. When we were heading to theater  4 (my favorite number) we saw a signs for a movie called Snake Eyes and Chang Chi: Legend Of The Ten Ring.  Without looking up the name of this movie, I wonder if this character was introduced in the Doctor Strange movie?  I would say yes, but I will find out sooner or later.  Still, I am glad to see more movies coming out as more and more people are getting vaccinated and fighting off this Coronavirus.  I must also say I saw movie previews and posters of Samuel L. Jackson in a lot of upcoming movies.    Watching the movie preview for The Protégé was exciting.   I like watching Maggie Q movies.  I think Michael Keaton plays fantastic villains.  I knew of one movie where he played a villain in the movie Pacific Heights, but never saw the movie. My first movie where I saw Michael Keaton play a nasty character was The Founder. You don't see Keaton's nasty side until half way through the movie. It really hits home if you have worked for McDonald's.  I am digressing again.  I saw Gretchen F. Talked about how the new lounge chairs are bigger so less people will be sitting in the room.  I have to agree with her on this.  Still these chairs are very comfortable.  After eatting I put my seat back  and enjoyed the movie.  We were the only two people in the movie theater for Spiral.  This was an outstanding experience.   Nobody sitting next to us. No crying baby ruining the movie.    On our way out of the theater we saw the inside if the unisex single use bathrooms. The one I used just happened to be near main entrance.  The unpleasant smell of urine in the toilet wasn't a nice thing to see.  I don't know if the toilet was broken or someone didn't bother to flush, but it was a nice thing to see...or smell.   Aside from seeing the mess in the toilet, the rest of the bathroom was very clean.   This movie theater  seating us definitely something and it kicks the hell out of many other movie theaters I have visited.   We or I will be back to see the Maggie Q movie The Protégé.   It feels good to ba back to the movie theaters because it has been longer than a year since I have been to the movies.   A sense of some normalcy has returned.  Eventually people  not masks will be a thing of the past.  I look forward to it.

We went on a Friday night the opening of the Spider-Man movie and those people were out...lol. Me and my partner came to see Odyssey which was really good. But back to the bar experience..does off miss thang that was at the bar wouldn't take our drink order as we sat at the bar. She going to say I have to get up and order at the cash register which was not even a foot from where we were sitting. Like girl really!?! Then there's an already 20% gratuity added to your bill which I cannot stand! How is that included when your service could be piss poor!?! We ordered our drinks they came out the strawberry mango lemon drop was good but a tad bit too sweet for my liken but drinkable. Now my partner he ordered a drink with Hennessy which was really good! I made sure I ordered another one of those while we were in the movie. He then got up to order our food and we headed into the movies. The burger was so damn good and the truffle fries were crispy and hot. Lord that burger was so good...lol Now the bathrooms were atrocious and disgusting! Toilets were all clogged and had urine and other substances just all in the toilets. Like are you serious! Folks flush the toilet by holding down the button long enough instead of just pressing and walking away. So I'm not sure if it's the pipes or what but y'all need to get this together. Would I go back...maybe...only because of the drinks and that burger. But I'll make sure I use the restroom in the mall before heading into there because that was just ridiculous...Smdh
