AMC CLASSIC Bloomington 12

We love this theater! Close to our house and in the last couple years they have done extensive cleaning-seats/floors have been deep cleaned. Which was desperately needed. Staff is always nice and helpful-once I ordered a hot dog (which are out of this world!) and the person told me to go ahead and get seated and he would bring it to me. And he did! Whoa!! Great service! I never thought he would find me. Ha Movies are always playing at decent, variable times too so easy to find a good time for us. Try the pretzels too-so good!

It's outdated and desperately needs an upgrade. Can't reserve your seat and the cushions are stained from years of butts leaving whatever remnants they have behind. I suspect the seats were originally red (without the streaks of gray), but that's just my best guess. Bloomington should have a good theater and hopefully this becomes that one day. The staff is always nice - no complaint there. Whoever owns it needs to step their game up though. I shouldn't be so willing to drive to Indy every time a must-see movie comes out.

This is the last big box traditional movie theater in town unfortunately post pandemic. They get three stars because sometimes it's a little sticky and you all know it's expensive, but I still have great times with my kids there. A lot of their specials aren't very well marketed and the only way I know is by going to look at the website. If I ask, they'll give them to me, but they definitely don't advertise. The theater could thrive and not just survive by adding alcoholic beverages to the menu and getting more bougie with service to the venues, etc. My kids and I are obsessed with the theaters in Indianapolis that serve alcohol and bring your food and popcorn to you in your chair. I think something like that in Bloomington would do amazing. However, I just don't know if they have the bandwidth left to think outside the box and expand into new realms. We had a great time seeing cartoons, Aquaman 2, & Barbie here.

Meh, it's the only game in town so I'm glad it's there. Floor and seats were still dirty from the previous showing. You can get some mediocre pizza for $17. I've heard good things about their rewards club.

Employees are always terrific and professional. However-- Seats and theater are increasingly filthy and always hot in the summer (HVAC doesn't work), food and popcorn is cold and unappealing, popcorn and nachos are only reliable menu items anyway, and the smell inside the entire place is musty and disgusting. Owners have up at least a decade ago. They need to either invest in this theater or close it down ASAP because it is only one step away from the Monroe county health department closing it down anyway. Which is likely what happened to the closing down of AMC on the East side a few years ago. It was even worse. This is a college town with money to spend on movies. So why isn't Cinemark or Regal taking up slack?

I have been going the "Showplace12" since it was built and in the past it's been a great theater. Top notch audio and picture. But now the theater is just nasty with the filthiest seats of any theater I have ever been to. Just saw Indiana Jones 7/3/23 and Theater #1 seats look Oil covered the dirt was so thick. The floors are always sticky no matter what theater you get. If management would spring for some TLC and keep it clean I'd go to movies more often.

Theater was dated, but it served its purpose, Lg popcorn, candy & drink will run you about $20. The staff was friendly & helpful. Loved that it was not too busy so it was nice being able to watch my movies (yes its our pass time between loads so we, end up watching 2 shows) in peace & sit where we wanted. Hubby & I are drivers, so for other drivers, there is plenty of space in the parking lot for Bob tail. Would definitely return.

Good enough. We were in theatre 5 and no stickiness. Decent admission prices. Clean restrooms.

We were to see Horizon at 3:30 Sunday June 30th. There's was an Anime movie on that didn't end until 3:55 pm. What's wrong with the management of this theatre???

Seats dirty upholstery needs cleaned badly. All coke machines empty of almost every drink. Paid for a lg drink had to get water because all the machines were almost empty all but 2 frozen drinks were unfrozen and working. Food prices ridiculous.
