AMC Marina Pacifica 12

I’ll gladly spend more money and drive a couple miles further to Edwards cinemas in town center than ever come here again. You’ve got a rude staff here who don’t have the decency to stop chatting with one another and help out the ONLY person there. I literally was the only person around. I had to ask, uhh, is one of u gonna help me or something? Seriously, don’t put these kind of employees as the first point of contact for consumers/​guests. U need people who are happy out who can at least fake a smile and say hi. Seriously, how hard is it to say hello??? Last time here.

The wife and I have been taking the kids to see movies for a few years and NOW because of a new Disney movie they have you stand outside in the hot California weather instead of standing inside were is cold. Very disappointed

I don’t even know where to start, first there was no one at the lobby, no one tells you where the theater is at, what got me mad (I know some wouldn’t care) I paid for 2 tickets and no one asked to see our tickets anywhere, seems like anyone could just walk in and see a free movie, if I would’ve know that I would have never paid. Sure I got to watch the movie kinda small, but I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you watch to shop around and see a movie that has been out for a while.

Serious scam on refreshment prices. Ordered a large was given a medium. «The large only comes with a large drink» uhh… what??? The only response we got to our complaint was a shrug. Yep. Will definitely go elsewhere. Too many theaters around to be treated poorly.

In regards to location this theater is in a great one! Nice views close to restaurants & view of the bay. However, the theater isn’t that great & worse part is they don’t have stadium seating like most theaters… there’s just a slight incline so if the person in front of you is tall your screwed. On top of it being out dated there prices are expensive!
Save money and go to the Cinemark theaters! Cinemark theaters are so nice… stadium seating, great movie & time selection and the best part is they have fully reclining luxury seating! Pricing starts at $ 7 & even for an evening showing the price is around $ 12 & AMC the price starts at $ 9/​$ 10 up to $ 14.

Been coming here for years, and the place has steadily declined. The movie selections and times are good, but the place has deteriorated in cleanliness.
From missing ceiling tiles to sticky floors in the theaters, the place needs some TLC and maintenance.
Staff are usually friendly and haven’t every had any complaints.
Location is great as it is near 2^nd street/​Belmont Shore or Seal Beach if you are looking to start or end somewhere else. Lots of shopping nearby (Sport’s Authority, Barns & Noble, Starbucks, Chipotle, Best Buy, Norstrom Rack, etc).

I recently brought the kids here to see Zootopia. The matinée price was only $ 6.29pp for 2D. What a great deal! We had a huge theater and it was maybe 50% at capacity. Considering how expensive it is to watch a movie at the theaters these days, this was a steal.
Parking was easy breezy. Theater was clean and well maintained. I would definitely come back here to avoid the crowds at other major AMC theaters.

Came in to bring the kids to see Zootopia. Theater is «ok». A lot smaller than expected. It was warm in the theatre and could have been cooler. Didn’t try the concession stand because it looked a lil sketchy. Parking lot was packed. Probably won’t be coming back here again.

This theatre is set up kinda weird, exterior box office is in the middle and then ½ the theatres are in a building to your right and the other half in a building to the left. This theatre is clean and plays current movies. One thing I appreciate is they have movies they It could use some updating for sure. Especially since they are charging the same as updated locations.
One thing I love is I am able to find movies here that are not playing other places like the Hateful 8 was very limited, but I caught here.

Keep your ID out at all times here… They will ask for it at least 3 times. Just let me relax and enjoy my damn movie, sheesh. On less whiny terms, small theaters with less than optimal sound quality. I’d rather go anywhere else, but this one is close by.

Clean, friendly staff, and comfortable seating. Just your standard movie theater. No complaints.

Came to see 13 hours and the showed it in a small screen, WTH? Took a bathroom beak and they were out of toilet paper & paper towels. Premium ticket price should equal premium services!

AMC marina Pacifica located on PCH and 2^nd this movie theater is a good theater very well-​kept floors are not sticky restroom is pretty clean decent enough everything here is good the food is a little same natural same prices so but other than that I would take the kids here

Pros:
–Convenient location
–Lots of good food in the immediate area
–Very good clientele– never any problems
–Friendly staff
Cons:
–Shitty sound (bass speaker was blown out and rattling for Star Wars = fuckery)
–Some of the theaters have really flat seating, so if someone tall sits directly in front of you, you’re screwed
–Gets very crowded
–Parking can suck during peak hours and weekends

I believe this is the closest AMC to Long Beach and I only came here bc I was given gift cards for Xmas. You can see the sign from PCH but once you park, you can miss it because its on a lower level as compared to the other business. That is not to say its underground but it is hidden from plain view. And the theatres are separated into two separate buildings divided by the ticket booth. Its a strange and perculiar set up but this might help prevent people from sneaking into other movies they did not pay for. The lobby I saw was clean and the theatre was bigger than the Cinemark on Pine. It felt a little more old-​school. The seats are traditional and do not recline, I repeat, DO NOT RECLINE. Sound and picture quality were both good even though the movie was a HUGE disappointment. (SWIIV) Snooze fest all the way.

The location is convenient if I just want to take in a movie without dealing with crowds, parking structures, etc. It’s definitely not new or fancy but it’s clean and maintained pretty well. The people are nice and the prices are reasonable compared to most other theaters. A good option if you’re close to the area and don’t need a super-​fancy theatergoing experience.
STEPH JUDGEMENT: Showing its age but decent.

Seats here are very nice — large, well spaced and comfortable. I usually see films at AMCals at home in NJ and they aren’t as nice but for some reasons are a bit more expensive. What gives? Tickets were $ 2 – 3 less WITH a Fandango fee (which I don’t normally pay).
The front desk staff was helpful when the printer didn’t work on the Fandango machine.
I would see a movie here again. I wish my local AMC was more like this location.

The theater was nothing special and like most theaters you wonder if the chairs are ever cleaned. The floors while not sticky weren’t thoroughly clean either. The movie screen while big had a distracting wrinkle or tear in right side.
Volume was deafening. We had to park near Bestbuy. Star Wars was great.

I go to this theater a lot. Some of the rooms are tinny but I always have a good time :))

They need to update there coffee service, when they won’t let you bring is coffee from Starbucks next door they need to serve hot fresh coffee. it’s not been fresh or hot and the staff don’t seem to care

I did not like or expect to be bitten by bugs and then given the run around about the situation of theatre show room 12. On 9÷22÷15 in show room 12. At marina pacifica of long beach. The moment I set foot into the showroom my party and I noticed a few rows taped off with caution tape. Thinking that maybe there were a few broken seats, ceiling leak or maybe these rows just weren’t cleaned we took a detour to seat higher than the roped off areas. A few minutes into the show I noticed my back being irritated, thinking it was just a stray hair in my shirt i ignored it, until i felt welts that seemed to be scratch marks. Upon further investigation i noticed they were bumps. I ignored it. 10 – 15 minutes later i became more irritated along the lower left sid of my back, i checked and it felt and looked more like bug bites. Then i felt a bug crawling along my left arm. I took a picture for evidence that it could be the culprit. We reported the incident immediately. Filled out request forms. And asked about the other incidents that caused them to actually rope off the rows of seats. They didnt give a straight answer, more on the lines of blaming the company that was responsible for ridding the infestation. We completely avoided the seats and i was still bitten. Wish i could display the pitctures of the bites and the bugs. If the caution tape was needed why would they keep this show room open, if theres a big infestation that can possibly be spread to peoples homes why leave your attendees vulnerable. AMC Marina Pacifica cares about money over attendees. We ultimately couldnt finish the movie with fear of bringing bed bugs or an infestation home to deal with.

This has always been one of my favorite movie theaters. It’s all about location, location, location! There’s a side with stadium seats and an side with old school seating. Unfortunately, you never know beforehand which side your movie will play on. That’s not a big deal to me. They play the latest movies. Lines can get long, but they move pretty fast because they are usually well staffed. Because there’s so many restaurants, a book store, and other places nearby, parking can be horrible! I suggest parking on the back side near Khamal Palace. Sadly, the women’s bathrooms are often terribly nasty and it’s been this way for years. Perhaps more cleaning staff can be hired or something!

Surprisingly, there aren’t that many movie theaters in Long Beach. I went here this past weekend because it was the middle of the heat wave and I needed air conditioning. Of course, many people had my similar mindset — as shown by the 48 230 948 204 people at the movies that day. However, the ticket line moves fast, which was a pleasant surprise. The actual movie theater itself seems to be on the old side and the concession stand seemed pretty limited, but seeing that this theater is in a great location — right off of PCH — I will continue to go here.
The parking situation is horrible since the lot is small and there are many businesses in this plaza, but oh well, parking is horrible in all of Long Beach anyway.

Was in the neighborhood and wanted to watch Minions on our down time after lunch. Got our tickets and got a drink before we went into the theaters. This theater is very tiny. This theater seems like it is those old school theaters that had $ 1 showings.
the seating was very straight, so it seemed like you had to look up to see the movie no matter where you were sitting. I guess we just wanted to find a place to watch minions and we did.
Im pretty sure I will not be going back to this place.
One good thing about this place, is that it is next to a grocery store so if you need to get groceries after the movies, you are right there.

I used to come here more often a few years ago when any movie before noon was $ 5 which then jumped to $ 6. Now the morning shows are $ 7.39, not much of a discount from the AMC vouchers I can buy at work for $ 8.
A different aspect of this theater than any other is that it’s split into two completely separate sections, across from each other. The box office is in between. Theaters 1 – 6 to the left, closest to Sports Authority and 7 – 12 to the right, on the same side as Barnes & Noble.
As far as parking goes, I avoid the Best Buy entrance and enter where City National Bank is, parking in the back near Pier 1. It tends to be less busy back here, however, one Friday evening, I found it hard to find parking all around.
I’ll continue to come here because it’s conveniently located to me and it’s pretty clean with comfy seats. It never gets as crazy busy as that one place at the Towne Center.

Been here a few times with friends.
It’s a good little AMC. Fairly clean and smells of buttered popcorn. What I like is that because it’s a considerably small theater, not too many people seem to go there during the matinees or weekday nights. So, it’s a good chance that you can get an entire theater to yourself.
Movie selections are always good. It’s AMC, so they tend to get all of the popular movies without too much issue. Quality of the picture is fine.
Clientele is fine. Nothing that ever really happened that made me cringe or get annoyed. People are fairly calm during the movies, and no real assholes that disrupt the movie. Cell phones mostly off.
Service has been polite. Once again, never any real issues.
Parking isn’t too bad. It can definitely fill up during the afternoons and evenings, though.

The way to my heart is to take me out to watch an awesome movie
And this is the place to go. I love the mellowness of it. It’s never over crowded even on the weekends. The movie rooms are pretty spacious, the temperature is never too cold, and the chairs are comfy. I also like that it is conveniently located next to the book store and coffee shop so you can go there and wait for your movie to start. The people who work here are always really nice and friendly. They also know how to keep the place clean.
Can’t wait to enjoy the next movie out here =).

I have been coming to this theater for some time, and being a resident of Long Beach I enjoy it much better than Edward’s 26 in the Town Center. The theater is a bit smaller, but other than that there isn’t much to complain about. They offer great matinée pricing at $ 7.50 a show, and also offer a military discount (Not during matinée). They also do not mind if you bring in coffee from the local Starbucks, and don’t seem to fuss too much on outside food. The staff is friendly and they keep the place clean.
Definitely a fan, and I will be coming here more often, since Edwards 26 sucks even though it is closer.
Keep up the good work AMC, and thank you for supporting the military (Edwards does not).

What can you say about this place? It’s reasonably clean, the popcorn and a large Dasani still runs you $ 12, but who cares, its not like they are gouging or anything, we all know how expensive popcorn is to buy.
On a Saturday night you would think they would have more than 2 cashiers to serve 8 theaters so service was lacking. Its still our local go-​to theater, I just wish they would try a little harder.
