AMC Albuquerque 12

This movie theater seems to be newer. The floors are clean and so are the restrooms. The area for drinks and butter for popcorn are a mess, but that's every theater I go to. I'm in the IMAX theater and it's huge. Seats are pretty comfortable.

***AMC STUBS PREMIERE REWARDS MEMBER REVIEW***I've been going to this AMC location since it opened. AMC has the lowest ticket prices in town, starting at $5.49 +tax (before 4 pm). IMAX, RealD 3D and Digital movies are offered. Clean theater, leather large seats, helpful associates; ample parking, well lit areas. If you pre-order food and drinks through the AMC App, there is an Express Pickup kiosk where those items should be ready at your scheduled pickup time. Beverage area is usually clean and popcorn is tasty. Will continue going to AMC here or wherever my travels take me. Enjoy your movie...

AMC Classic 12 is located in South Valley, near the busy intersection of Rio Bravo and Coors. Depending on the time of day, the streets can get backed up and congested, usually the work scheduled times between 3pm and 6pm. So, if you're planning on seeing a movie around these time frames, then I'd say, come early. The parking lot is pretty large, so there shouldn't be an issue of finding a place. It's also surrounded by many department stores and restaurants, so finding something to eat nearby isn't an issue as well. The area is pretty safe, and the sheriff's office is one parking lot over, so I don't see any safety issues at all. Plus, they have their security guard outside, if needed. When you arrive at the movie theater, there are 2 order kiosks on opposite sides of the entrance if you want to quickly purchase your tickets or print your tickets, if you're in a hurry. I use their mobile app so it's quite nice and convenient. There is a guided, roped off area (stanchion) at the entrance, which makes getting in line more organized and the cashiers call who's next at the end of the line, if you're an AMC Stubs member, there is a separate line which makes getting to the front quicker and it's definitely worth the skipping ahead time. If you're in a super hurry and need to get to your theater room fast with some food, drinks or snacks, I'd recommend ordering your food/snacks on the app with your movie ticket, as they'll have it ready for you. Just have to read the fine print receipts on the already made food (squinting may be required). It beats standing in line, especially when a large family is in front of you and they aren't prepared on what they want and delays your turn by 5-15 mins. The food is good, the popcorn is fresh, and if you purchase the refillable bucket (30 bucks), you can refill your popcorn for 6 bucks each time, and a same-day free refill for AMC Stubs members (hold on to your receipt). Sodas and frozen Icees are also refillable, which is nice, and there are hundreds of flavor choices/combinations of flavored sodas. Vanilla Sugar-free Barq's Cream Soda is my favorite. Word of advice, the theater rooms marquees do not tell you what's showing in each room (aside from the IMAX room poster), so keep your ticket in hand so you know which room is yours. Seats are first come, first serve, so get there early if you want the perfect spot. The only room that has reserved seating is the IMAX room, and it's the best price in the area - compared to other theaters (normally 10 bucks cheaper) and the picture and sound quality is amazing. I've seen the latest Dune part 2 (7 times so far in this IMAX room). The staff is usually friendly. They are constantly cleaning and refilling their booths and stations. Sometimes, the soda fountain is down, but luckily, there are 6 stations, so finding a drink shouldn't be an issue, plus you can always ask at the counter if you need help. The movie trailers are about 15 to 20 mins long, so if you're running late, just keep that in mind. Unless this is my 7th time for the same movie, I take my time to get snacks and drinks. But if not, then I come early, so I am ready for the entrance line, the snack line, and the drink line. This should be a place to relax and immerse yourself into film and sound, and not a stressful environment, so keep it simple and enjoy cinema.

We came to see the new Buzz Lightyear movie by Disney/Pixar. The movie was really enjoyable, but when we checked in they did not give us the 3 D glasses to watch the movie. Had to go back to the lobby to get.They were out of almost every candy. They had no French fries and almost everything else. They did have popcorn, Mac and cheese balls, and hot dogs. They had sodas, but the Coke soda machines were out of carbonization. Ugh! No refund on the sodas. The staff was a bunch of useless teenagers that had no interest in really doing their job. They just kept saying they were out of everything, and not inspired to making this a good theater experience. They should have known to give us the 3D glasses when we checked in. I spent over $54 for 4 flat sodas, a small bag of popcorn, 1 hotdog, and a candy! A total rip off. We had purchased the tickets online and they were about $9 each. It was the same price for adults, children, and seniors.Do not rush out to this movie theater. Spend your money elsewhere.Tried to call management later, and after several calls with about 30 rings each, no one answered. Hello? Are you listening?

Date of visit: June 17, 2021While some people may think it crazy to spend time at the movies while on vacation, I think it's a great way to see how the locals spend their time and if they have any cool options for entertainment that we don't have back home.Plus most attractions, such as museums, are only open during the day. So you can catch a movie after dinner and spend less time channel surfing back at the hotel!The AMC Classic was a decent theatre. Nothing special, but also not bad. Of course, being a Classic, it didn't have any fancy extras like recliners, but it was clean and seemed to be in decent shape. You could do worse than this location should it be your local theatre.

I love this theater, AMC has great movies.Creed III - 3 Was the best movie ever.

Trash. They have no selection of food and drinks despite having those cringe 1000+ flavors machines.

Only a couple IMAX theaters in ABQ, and this one is pretty convenient to my house. Lots of dining options near the theater. 12 screens. The soda is self serve, so I guess you are allowed to get refills. Decent food selections. As good a place as any to see a movie as any.

Every worker was extremely kind, patient and attentive!! Seats do not recline but I still enjoyed my time!!

Probably will not be returning. The highlight was the first interaction I had with the kid working at concession, he was nice and polite. No one was checking tickets. Got to my theatre and the seats were not comfortable with quite a few being broken. The restroom was very dirty. At the end at around 7:20pm, I realized I had forgotten to get a receipt from concession. I asked two kids who were outside of concession if that was possible and neither knew, directing me to stand in a line behind 6 groups of people for the one person working concessions so I could ask him. Waited in line and asked once it was my turn. I was basically told that it is impossible for him to print a receipt and made it sound like a large inconvenience as he would have to get his manager and "it's a process." I worked at a movie theatre growing up, an AMC specifically, and there was always a way to print a receipt. In every job I have ever had where there were transactions taking place, there was always a quick and easy way to print a receipt so I am shocked. Upon leaving there were about 10 groups waiting for concession, the one kid doing his best working, one cleaning up the lobby, and two standing around doing absolutely nothing and didn't bother to help him. Overall disappointed as the negatives outweighed the positives at this theatre. Will check out Century next time.
