    The concert ad said 6:30-11. We stood outside in the cold rain until after 7:00. Almost 7:30 and the concert hasn't started yet. WTF!!

    A good theater! I split my time between here and 16 and I like that the showtimes are different to…read moregive a good variety to fit your schedule. Love the app and the AMC stubs program. Also love that they offer discount Tuesday's if you have a stubs account, where tickets are cheaper Tuesday nights. This isn't the best theater I've ever been to, but things on average seem to be well-maintained and the staff is very friendly. I just wish the food and drink prices were lower, but that's every movie theater nowadays.

    My wife and I were excited to watch Project Hail Mary at Theater 14. We don't normally go to the…read moretheatre but I was really excited to see this one on the big screen and I was surprised that my wife wanted to go as well! So this was a special night out. So we arrive 20 minutes before the 5:10 pm start time and there was no one at the registers... I mean three people waiting to purchase tickets but no one there at all. So we walk right into line to get popcorn and pretzels which cost $48...what? YES $48! that's $13 more than the tickets cost. I have no words. Moving on, we spot a manager at the desk behind the counters and ask where to scan our tickets. Matt was very polite and scanned our tickets and directed us to the correct theater. Here's where the fun begins. Even been a captive audience? Like on a plane or train? Same thing here!! The commercials started at 5 PM, then at 5:12 pm the trailers started and continued for 30 more minutes!! So we sat though nearly 45 minutes of commercials and trailers while we enjoyed our $50 of popcorn and pretzel bites. So, in conclusion, nearly $100 to see a good movie. Love the big screen, no idea why the sound is at 100 db... my wife brought and used ear plugs!! And we are not old by any measure!! Once in a while is cool, but not the whole movie!! The money I get... you're all greedy fu***. But you will never take my time again, or my wife's, or my children's, if I have any say in it. 45 minutes of captive commercials and trailers... Would I sit through this anyplace else, Absolutely not! Well you went way, way over board for this family. So, you'll never see us in your theater again. And I will tell this story every time the topic comes up. Shame on you. You traded 3 generations of my family for $100 bucks. Hope you met your profit margin.

    Unfortunately, for the final two weeks of this year I've suffered from a sprain ankle and a sinus…read moreinfection. So I've been pretty bedridden. However, the other day I was feeling much better and mustered up the energy to finally see Wicked For Good. I always drive past this theatre when I'm running errands, and it's actually the closest theatre to my house. So, I figured it was time to test this place out. I came without purchasing a ticket in advance. First thing I like about this theatre is you can purchase your ticket on the kiosk. You select your movie, then you select what type of seat you want- a standard recliner or a cuddlier seat. It was just me so I selected the recliner which was $7.95. I do like the idea of the cuddlier sofa though, that's super cute for couples. However, when I tried to pick where I wanted to sit only one seat was available to book. Which was very surprising to me because the theater wasn't that full and the movie has been out for months now. Thinking it was a glitch of the kiosk, I went to the counter to purchase tickets. Then I saw the screen where I could pick my seat and again there was only one seat I could pick. So I picked that seat thinking the theater wasn't going to be jammed packed (spoiler it wasn't). So, that's the only thing I was confused about. Why were seats block off when the theater wasn't full. Other than this mishap I really enjoyed my experience here. Luckily my seat ended up being a decent seat and it was exceptionally comfortable. There was a red button you could push which I assumed was a seat warmer, I pushed it but I didn't notice any changes in the temperature of my seat. For food I got a medium sprite and a large popcorn. It costs me about $18. Which is typical. I will say next time I'll order a medium popcorn, the large was so big I wasn't able to finish it before the movie was over! All in all this is a very solid theater. Very friendly employees, seats are comfortable and clean, oh and I forgot to mention they have a bar. So that's pretty cool. I can definitely see myself returning here again!

    This is how movies were meant to be watched. Comfy seats that recline, every flavor of coke product…read moreyou could want. They offer cheese and Carmel corn and a choice of butter. Absolutely my new favorite theater!

On the ground level, there are intangibles, such as for the past several years, he has always had personnel regularly check on patrons in darkened theaters and is not beyond walking and assisting patrons to their seats, when there is not a rush for tickets and concessions. This is a sign of a manager always willing to go the extra mile. Further, the main auditorium is spectacular, one of a kind, and is frequently recognized as one of the most beautiful showpieces in the country, with a flawless restoration under the direction of the general manager, but wit one twist, beautifully comfortable recliner seats that are easy to maintain, and hygein friendly. What a wonderful experience it has been to attend this lovely theatre that is a treasure of McHenry County. I often purchase tickets for children to see a lovely film for only 2.00 in the summer, and all reports are the same, clean theater, spotless and high quality concessions and an attentive and safe environment for people of all ages. I have witnessed many staff members over the years, when the sudden rush is over, assisting patrons in theters, to insure their saftey abd well being. I especially am a fan of the mystery series, and the fun surprise movies. What a beautifully managed theater!

The tickets are super affordable, and you get to reserve the exact seat you want. You can order tickets online in advance or at a kiosk when you arrive at the theater. At the concessions station, the staff will scan your tickets before you place your order, so make sure you stop there regardless. They have a combo meal for a large popcorn + 2 medium drinks, and you can upgrade to an ICEE if you'd like. For two adults with our tickets and combo and a bag of M&Ms on opening weekend for this movie, the total was around $40. For the quality of the items you receive and the luxury you have in the theater, it's WELL worth this price, and dare I say, it might be cheap?

I love that the owner of the chain gets on before the movie starts and thanks everybody for coming... classy thing to do! Another classy thing: when you are exiting the theater, an employee is out there with mints!! Even the tickets are cheaper than AMC.... This is what you need to do to survive. Many people have home theaters now, but it's just not the same as the communal experience...
