AMC Loews Quarry Cinemas 14

Disgusting and filthy! There wasn’t a single garbage can was not overflowing with trash. The counter where you get the snacks was covered in trash and butter. This was early in the afternoon. If it had been late at night I could have understood a little. Theater had regular old seats, not the comfortable ones most theaters have. Go somewhere else.

Watching a newly released movie here feels like your watching it on a crowded plane: absolutely no personal space, i couldn’t cross my legs because lifting one leg i could’ve accidently kicked the person seated in front of me in the head… and the seats dont recline at all which gets pretty uncomfortable along with the shared armrests.

This place has went downhill. I went last week & it was super dirty. Popcorn was all over the floor & benches. The stand with the extra butter & napkins was beyond gross. There were no cup lids available & the soda machine was disgusting. All this while there were several employees at the concession stand just standing around talking. I had to wait in line to make my purchase because these same employees told me their line was not open. At the ticket counter, employees were standing around talking as well. Management needs to have these teenagers keep busy & clean up the place on slow nights. Give me a job there where I can just chit chat with my friends & get paid for it. I’m also a stubs member. I purchased a small popcorn with my rewards card attached & was suppose to get upgraded to a medium for the price of a small. I was not & it wasn’t the first that has happened. Please train your employees. In the meantime, I will take my business elsewhere even if that means a longer drive to get there.

This use to be my go to theater but I refuse now. Why would I pay $ 11 to sit in crappy uncomfortable seats when I could drive a couple extra minutes and pay $ 9-​$ 10 to sit in the nice recliners. This they’re NEEDS an upgrade.

Yo this place is horrible. It’s disgusting, so dirty. Also I think the air conditioning didn’t work so it was hot as hell in the theater

They need new seats in every theatre here. For some reason AMC does not want to put money into this place. Why?! The popcorn is pretty decent and I love putting on my own oily fake butter topping! YUM! The staff here are friendly.

It’s pretty clean, I usually go to the 11am shows to save $. I feel the negative reviews are un-​warranted. It is pretty average for the area.

This is the worst theater I have ever been to in my life. This is also pretty sad because I usually come here for movies.
The concession stands are expensive! It’s usually a $ 4 Skittles here, and at Walgreens I get them for only a dollar! That’s pathetic! Also, the movie tickets are bad prices!
The staff are not bad. They are friendly. I think it’s kind of ridiculous that the ICEEs are out at noon on a Wednesday. They never told us what happened to them. I bet there are no custodians here because the station for butter on your popcorn is extremely dirty. There are pieces of popcorn and straws EVERYWHERE!
The popcorn is not worth it. It can be really salty if you add salt. The butter doesn’t really add flavor to the popcorn.
The exterior look does not look like your average theater. It just looks like a bland box with nothing special.
Here’s my overall look. On the commercials for AMC, the speaker usually says AMC Amazing. They forgot the word «not» on it. In my opinion, it should say AMC Not Amazing. I’d suggest going to Marcus Theaters in Orland, La Grange Theater, or Hollywood Boulevard in Woodridge.

Saw «SPY». VERY funny. Theatre was comfortable. However, you could hear and feel sound effects from theatre next door. Took away from a good time.
Concessions, way to expensive PKUS you had to go fill up your own drinks at prices from $ 4.79 — to $ 5.50, and half the machines didn’t work.
Struggle for me to give 3 stars!

It has been a very long time since I have been here for a movie and it actually has not changed a bit from how I remember it.
I am not sure this is a blessing or a curse. I have never had a bad experience here as I like to go see movies during the middle of the day so i don’t run into many big crowds.
I had a very enjoyable time watching my movie!

This place is dirty, has the worst employees and by far the worst manager I’ve ever seen. You can’t even call corporate to complain so you have to write a letter. This place is a total joke and should be sold to someone else that can manage it and bring the quality up. This place is the reason poeple don’t want to go out and watch a movie in the theaters anymore. These are probably the kinds of idiots that think they deserve $ 15 per hour for minimum wage. This place stinks and I hope they go out of business.

Just your average theatre in your average Chicago suburb. There is nothing to remember or forget about my experience. Would I like to pay $ 15 for a drink and popcorn? No. Is the popcorn worth $ 15 on its best day? Absolutely not. Is the coke watered down? Yep
This is what you get. The theatre is reasonably clean the staff slightly less miserable than the next… yadayada same olé same olé

They need to upgrade the seating at this place. Uncomfortable. hard to enjoy a movie when your constantly moving round because your body starts hurting. Once you’ve watched a movie at the new theaters with recliner seats it’s hard to go back to these types of movie theaters. Only went cause the movie we wanted to see wasn’t playing at our usual place

This AMC is not nearly as nice as the others, but its just as expensive. I went to a 4pm showing and still paid full price. What happened to matinée prices? I also ordered a popcorn & icee. It took 20 mins tooo long due to them overcharging another customer so my cashier had to go to the other cashier. It was a joke. I probably will not be back to this location.

I have been going to this theater for probably for 15 yrs., but yesterday was my worst experience. Went to the 1:25 pm show (earliest time). I was the only person in the theater. Theater #2. The previews started and I noticed the picture was very dark and the side speakers along the right side were not on. This is very annoying. Imagine holding your hand over your right ear for the next 2 hrs. The surround sound experience was totally lost. I left the theater and informed the ticket counter and she said she will tell the manager. I went back in and about 15 mins. Later, a man walked in looked at me, walked around the whole theater looking at the speakers and walked out. The entire length of the movie the speakers were off. I was the only in the theater so I expected a refund or free pass or something. Nothing. Probably won’t be seeing any movies there anymore. Not worth the gamble.

I really enjoyed my visit here! From what I could tell the staff was very friendly and they had reasonable movie times. All the movies were up to date and it was really clean which I always appreciate. The only negative thing I could say about this place would be that they do charge a lot. I payed 11 dollars for a movie which is pricey especially considering it’s in the suburbs. I don’t pay that much even in the city. Other than that it was great!

Review #100. I come to this theater most often only because it’s the closest to my house. I much more prefer the AMC at Yorktown or the Marcus in Orland. And I have plenty of reasons.
The ticketing windows are not well marked as to which ones are open. And the placement right at the entry doors causes lines to go different directions and customers get upset because it can be a mess just to get a ticket. It the ticket counters were moved just 20 feet farther in it would make a huge difference. And this theater has plenty of room to do that.
There is just one set of restrooms here. And with them being behind the concession stand if you’re seeing a movie in theater 8 or the IMAX screen and need to use the restroom during the movie you’ll waste a long time just in the walk to and from the restroom. There must be a way to remodel the end of the hall by the never used exit doors to add small restrooms like Yorktown has.
The restrooms they do have are always filthy. There was recently some fresh paint added and broken tiles fixed but there are often urinals out of order, broken towel dispensers, and broken hand blowers. This on top of used towels everywhere and rarely cleaned toilets is just plain disgusting.
The optimal viewing theater seats are often broken and lean too far down. They get used more and should either be made stronger or repaired more often. I often get to the theater early just to be sure I can find an unbroken seat with a good view.
Concession prices are out of control. I realize that it’s an industry standard but Marcus in Orland and the theater in Warrenville have better prices even if it’s just a dollar or two lower. When I see a movie here I feel the need to stop at WalMart or Walgreens first to get soda and candy. I find that very frustrating.
The employees here are just average. They smile and say thank you. But if they were good or properly managed then the condiment stations and restrooms would look much better and there doesn’t seem to be a shortage of employees, just an unwillingness to clean. I blame management.

It’s been a long time since I have gone to the movies, after this latest visit I remember why.
Pros: the movie was pretty good «x-​men: days of future past.»
Cons: and there are a lot so hang on!
The price of a ticket, $ 10.25 (ouch)
Concessions, combo deal: 1 large popcorn, 2 large drinks $ 19.95 (wowsers)
Seating, typical fabric seats not very comfortable at all.
Sound: loud mid range levels, but the bass and treble are all over the place. The surround sound was there just not impressive in comparison to other theaters I’ve been to.
Cleanliness, leaves a lot to be desired. The condiment stands were messy and sticky, bathrooms were ok, the inside of the theater was halfway swept but clearly not a lot of effort was out in.
Overall I just can’t see myself spending this kind of money for a sub-​par time in the future. I think the theater business is in need of a revitalization and major overhaul. In the meantime I’ll stick to digital rentals at home.

I don’t go to movies much because of the sheer expense of it. Here, adult tickets are 10.25 a piece! Holy cow… I’d much rather wait for redbox, I think. But I was looking to see one of the Oscar nominees, so we came to see the Wolf of Wallstreet.
This is pretty much your typical theater, it looks like they’ve expanded their food menu to include pizzas and ice creams, but no one was really buying it. It was a Sunday evening, and not super busy at the theater, but the bathrooms were so nasty! Paper towels strewn everywhere, there was a huge puddle like something had overflown– I’m hoping it was a sink! I just tried to get out of there as fast as possible.
The actual theater was in much better shape. The floors were clean and non-​sticky, thank goodness! The chairs were comfortable, but there wasn’t much for leg room. By the end of the movie, I needed to do some serious stretching. The movie started in a timely fashion and previews were kept to a minimum.
I would come back, I’ll just make sure to eat and pee beforehand!

After hearing the sad news that Roger Ebert, the renowned film critic from good olé Illinois, died today after a long battle with cancer, I knew I wanted to write a review in his memory. After all, writing reviews is something he did as his career. Therefore, I thought it would be fitting to write a review for the Quarry, a theater I have frequented for my entire life, a place that ignited my passion for the movies.
The Quarry is a perfectly respectable, «normal» movie theater located in the Chicago suburbs. Naturally, that means that the Quarry fulfills many of the annoying qualities of theaters in 2013. Are the tickets expensive? Yes. ($ 10, in case you were wondering.) Are the snacks egregiously expensive? Yes. Is the popcorn egregiously unhealthy? Only if you give it a butter bath at the popcorn facelift table. Are the floors that house the individual movie screens sticky? Very much so.
Even if the Quarry is your standard movie theater, there is nothing wrong with that. I go to see a movie on the «big screen» when it’s something special and when I can afford to go. I go in knowing the prices of tickets and concessions and I can deal with the sticky floor. After all, the workers can only do so much cleaning between movies and I doubt there’s time to mop.
I have plenty of fond movie memories from the Quarry. I saw all of the Lord of the Rings movies here and all of the Harry Potter movies here. I saw my first IMAX 3-​D movie here (Avatar). I saw Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith here at the midnight showing. The Quarry is A-​OK by me and I know I’ll be back many times in the future to feed my passion for movies. I know Roger Ebert would be proud!
