I'd seen enough hype about the chocolate popcorn to finally try it myself. It was well-balanced and the portion was massive. My company and I barely made a dent in a medium. That said, if you're a classic butter popcorn person, this probably won't convert you. Overall, a solid experience. Would recommend.

Unfortunately, when we arrived the theater was almost completely full (even though it was still about 20 minutes to show time) and we had to sit in the second row from the screen. We were still able to see okay but it was a bit annoying. We would make sure to get there earlier next time. The bathroom was nice and clean. The concessions are priced lower than a typical theater. And you are still getting a lot of food. All the staff was very friendly and helpful.

I've been going to this place for many years, and even signed up for the rewards a few years ago, and it's one that actually pays off with many perks and benefits It's clean, well lit in main area, comfortable seats, and pretty good sound.

I've been here many times over the years and my most recent visit it looks exactly the same. Seats could be comfier and wish they had recliners but definitely aren't the worst. Staff were nice. Popcorn was tasty. Butter station was clean. The sound and screen quality was good. Overall we had a great time. We saw Exit 8 here on my birthday night and it was an amazing movie! Thank you AMC :)

I would like to say the best thing about theater is the people who work there. The worst is that…read morethe bathrooms are only on one floor (in between the two floors where the movies show). I am in a wheelchair so it's a pain to go up and down and wait for the elevator, which can be slow at times (and I had to cancel a trip due to the elevator being down one day). Other than that, it's usually quite clean and the food is usually hot and ready. However, they only have concessions on one floor, and there was a time I had to skip refreshments as no one was at the counter, I think they were in the back putting up new stock, and I had to leave due to my movie starting. A few times I missed out on specific food items as they were either totally out, or they didn't have an extra employee to go to where they stored it to get more. Understanding, but disappointed. I've worked retail all of my life, so I know how those things can happen. I would say they need to get new carpet, but that is a small quibble. I noticed a few people comment on the drink area being a mess. Usually, this is the direct result of rude customers, not cleaning up after themselves or not watching their children. Usually, the issue doesn't last long. It does get cleaned up. But if you are one of the people who are following the rude customers, you probably, don't care. You're just upset with what you are walking into. Just politely let one of the workers there know and I'm sure you they will tend to it right away. Unfortunately, the employees can't keep an eye on all of the customers all of the time, so, politely letting them know, will help them fix the problem. I recently moved close to the theater, so I am taking full advantage of their unlimited program. Very nice. I will say the selections of the classic movies, that are for one day only, can either be great or very lackluster. And for some reason in the summer, they don't show the extra movies (classics). The quality of the movies coming out can be rather hit or miss and lately, they have been more miss than hit, so it's always nice to have a classic movie to fall back on. I love how they show older B&W movies since TCM is no longer available to me. But I also love all of the classics from the B&W era through the 90s and even more current movies that have been out of the theater more than 5 years or so. It's always a great way to catch up to everything I missed before. I love movies. I have a huge physical media collection, but nothing replaces the magic of the Big Screen. Big pluses are the staff, the theaters are nice, 4DX is great (and even though you have to pay a surcharge if you have the unlimited pass, it's only a fraction of the full 4DX price). I would recommend if you go more than twice a month to get the unlimited pass, as it's a definite bargain. I would highly recommend this theater.

If I lived in Seattle I would be frequenting this Regal theater!…read more I moved from the Boise Idaho area to Puyallup, WA at the beginning of the year and one thing I had been missing from my time in Boise was seeing movies in 4DX! if you don't know what that is, it's an intense and thrilling amusement park style movie format with seats that move like a ride, and special effects like scents, water, flashing lights that happen throughout the movie! It's my favorite cinema experience and worth every penny but sadly Washington state only has this format at this theater an hour away from me. Me and my cousins were having a girls day in Seattle though and I suggested we see the new Michael Jackson movie in 4DX- it was incredible! I will return whenever possible to see a film in 4DX!

Overall, I've had good experiences with events here. Parking options include paid street parking nearby or the parking garage across the street.

Oh, Hump!! They definitely don't have film festivals like this back home! Hump! is an annual film…read morefestival that is typically held in Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon. The film festival has gained in popularity so much that it has been touring outside of those two cities in recent years. The Hump! film festival specializes in home movie erotica, amateur sex cinema and locally produced pornography. Typically when each film festival is held Dan Savage is the host. Now I know the description of the film festival may sound like you are going to an adult arcade where you watch poorly made and grainy sex films but that simply isn't the case here. The amateur films are arranged where you can experience a whole range of material to the humorous and the sexy to the nerve wracking and the suspenseful. The films explore mainly straight and gay material but it does journey outside of those two sexualities as well. Most of the films are very well made and highly entertaining and not just in the stereotypical way that you may think with films like this. There are indeed rules that need to be adhered during the show. You are not allowed to have your phones out during the show at all. Anyone that does you could get your phone taken away until the end of the show. Another thing is that no jeering is allowed during any of the show at all. If you are involved in such a thing you are bound to be escorted out. And of course the obvious... this film festival is not an adult arcade so doing certain other... activities involving yourself is a sure thing you won't be at the film festival for long. When I went everyone behaved themselves. Always a good thing. When Steve and I went to Hump! I enjoyed all of the films that were featured. There were two that really stuck in my mind. I mentioned some of the films could induce suspense and there was one involving flash paper that you simply couldn't tear your eyes away from. There was several others that were very sensual and steamy. I give major kudos to the film makers that contribute to Hump! for creating these daring, sexy, artful and often humorous films. I would love to go back for another showing sometime!

If you film it, someone will come…read more Bravo to the Stranger, purveyors of the strange and kinky, for thinking this up and making it happen. While I thought it would be more awkward than fun, it wasn't at all. Not even going with a group of friends that included someone I barely knew and a couple. Good to know: Tickets sell out SO FAST so if you're in any way interested, grab them immediately. There are 'themes' for the year this time packing peanuts was one of them, heh. You can drink in the lobby but not the theater other than the shots they sold on stage at the opening monologue (by none other than Dan Savage) It's 'get em in, get 'em out' so you're waiting in the lobby, rush to your seat, watch 20 or so 5 min and under amateur porn movies, fill out your voting card for 'Sex' 'Kink' and "Humor' as well as 'Best in Show'. Oh, and plan for some uncomfortable moments no matter what your comfort level is, mine were of the slightly disassociated straight couple sex set to Massive Attack. Yuck.

Love it here! The staff is fabulous and the movies are great. Highly recommend this hidden gemread more

Read this review if you're lost finding the theater! Ignore Google/Apple Maps which will land you…read moreat the wrong end of the park. Go to the corner of Republican Street and Warren Ave N (use directions for the restaurant "Taylor Shellfish" at 124 Republican St and you're there). Walk into the park from this entrance (August Wilson Way), and after a minute of walking your first right will be the SIFF building. It's tucked away and once you see it through the window, you have to make another left to get inside. Now for the review...I'm obsessed with SIFF and every cinephile in Seattle should support them, but I really recommend you visit their Egyptian theater in Capitol Hill or their Uptown theater in Queen Anne over this location. If the movie you want to see is only showing at the Film Center, be prepared for less comfortable seating and plan to show up early to find the theater. Google Maps takes you to the wrong spot (unless you follow the directions above) and there's no signage. Pros: + An impressive slate of art house, wide release, and seasonal film fest picks in line with SIFF's overall line up. Often there will be SIFF films that are only show here. + Many in person/virtual film appreciation one-night class opportunities. I took an awesome week night session analyzing The Shining that was pretty cheap and reminded me of college film courses! + No noticeable issues with the screen or sound. I've enjoyed every movie I've seen here...once I got there. Cons: - Hard to find location, with no signs directing you where to go. Google Maps will take you to the Space Needle, this is not where the theater is. During my first visit, I found myself wandering through the park in the dark for 15 minutes with no signs for SIFF in sight. This is like that college class that you can't find on the map your first day of a new semester. - Very small theater that's less charming than other ones hosted by SIFF. Following this college theme, the Film Center feels like an old school stadium style lecture hall. - Uncomfortable, creaky old chairs with no cup holders. Tips: * Punch in the address for the restaurant "Taylor Shellfish" which is at the corner of Warren Ave N into your maps app to park in the right spot. Cross the street to enter the park, SIFF should be one of the first turns on the right. * I've heard anecdotally that they don't let people in 15 minutes after the movie starts.
