    So, unfortunately, I am having to update my review of AMC Council Bluffs to a 4 star ranking now…read more They recently closed their Dolby and IMAX theaters, I assume to renovate and fix things with those theaters - but ever since they opened the IMAX back up, it has been terrible. The IMAX screen has faint vertical lines all through it and they are very evident when a bright/white scene is playing. (The Fortress of Solitude scene in Superman was unwatchable.) I will say the Dolby theater is still top notch. Great screen and so loud your seat shakes, if you're into that style of sound (I am). AMC Council Bluffs also does have way better snacks than their Omaha Westroads counterpart, so I appreciate that. But I don't go to the movies for the overpriced snacks. It's unfortunate that the IMAX is seemingly in disrepair or needs to be cleaned or something, because we loved that particular theater so much and would travel to CB just for that. But for now, we will see IMAX movies at the Westroads AMC and only head over to Council Bluffs if there is a Dolby screening we want to check out.

    Went to the 30th Anniversary screening of Clueless with a friend, and let me just say... how is…read moreClueless 30 years old? I haven't aged a day. I mean, hello!!! I ordered my tickets online, got scanned in with a smile, and everything ran smoother than Cher's computerized closet. No stress, no drama. We hit up concessions for the essentials: sodas, popcorn, and pretzel bites. Sure, the total felt like we were financing a small car, but it's the movie experience. You just lean in and pray your credit card doesn't judge you. Huge shoutout to the FreeStyle Coke machines. The real MVP. I love having 500 drink options and still going with a Coke Zero like a creature of habit. I regret nothing. The theater was clean, well-kept, and the Sunday 4 pm crowd was super chill. The movie started promptly at 4, which was nice. Punctuality is a virtue, people. I even brought a sweater, expecting the usual movie theater meat locker, but it was actually a comfortable temp. No icicles, no frostbite, just good vibes. All in all, a totally fun night. This place never disappoints. I'll definitely be back--assuming the movie studios get it together and release something worth leaving the house for. Until then, I'm outie.

    If you are a cinephile and want to enjoy movies, new or old, with others who love movies, the Alamo…read moreis the place for you. My family and I love going to the movies, and we have opted for the season pass at times because of how often we come here. The ambiance is very comfortable, lush, and reminds me of old school movie theaters. Each set of seats has a table (and a purse hook, which I love) to give you a true dining experience while watching your favorite films. The Alamo consistently does movie series, and will show reruns or specials, one of my favorites being the Max Fleischer series featuring Betty Boop shorts. I love the opportunity to see older movies in theaters, and the Alamo does an amazing job of making the experience all-encompassing. I have been to one of their special brunch showings of White Christmas, for which they had a fun themed menu. It was truly the most fun and festive movie showing, and I would highly recommend getting the Alamo app to see what is showing in the future. Some movies are better on the big screen, and the Alamo consistently delivers. The menu is also great and I have always enjoyed everything I eat from here. I always try a burger and a new mixed drink, but their loaded fries are A+ and I would advise ordering them! The staff is incredibly kind, and very speedy. In the rare instance that my order has been forgotten, they have been very prompt in correcting the mistake. As someone who is tired of attending movies just to hear chatting and snickering, which I have had to deal with at other Omaha theaters, the Alamo has a strict no-phone, no-talk, no arriving late policy, which I personally feel makes the experience even better. They truly value the customer experience, and I will continue to come here time and time again.

    Not the same. All quality and what set this theatre apart is no longer there. So many better…read moreoptions in the area as many theatres strived to improve and this theatre took 10 steps back. And FORCING a minimum tip is a move, for sure. I tip well as it is but there is something gross about forcing people to pay a minimum of 18%. It's basically telling their customers to pay the wages for the company's employees!
