Amc Oak Brook

Super comfy recliner chairs with a motorized reclining feature, matinée tickets (thru fandango) were in the $ 8 range, which wasn’t bad! It’s a small theatre, but it’s nice and clean inside. The seat selection feature is nice too, guaranteeing you to sit where you want to sit, or be able to pick another movie if they don’t have a suitable option for you.
Bathrooms were clean too.
They serve beer and wine here, all food was expensive though, so I can only imagine the liquor prices, but it’s all on par with all the other expensive food items at other movie theaters I check out. I would definitely return!

It would have been great if there was better signage to the theater for those of us that did not use the parking decks. So many people confused outside in the cold. We all figured it out but the mall or AMC needs to step up the game slightly.
Theaters were somewhat trashed. Did not seem like there was a lot of staff on duty. Could have been an off night.
Soda machines were a disaster. Two out of three were out of ice and one had bad vanilla coke.
I like that I can pre-​buy tickets and select seats at home before I go to the theater. The seats are nicer than a standard movie theater. Sound quality was good, 3D experience was good.

This is a great theater, with reasonable prices, good parking and excellent leather reclining seats. Definitely get your tickets online in advance. I recommend rows D — H for the best view. It is hard find, so I posted a map to the orange parking garage. Once you get there follow the signs towards Nordstrom and you will run right into it.

Shitbox. Did you want to see a movie? Dont bother here. Seeing a movie here requires prepaid theater tickets or you’ll be lucky to walk up and get the seat closest to the screen. I’ve had an easier time buying airline tickets and boarding a plane. Which is sort of funny because the ticket prices to see a movie here are more than a round trip to Vegas. I’ll stand and applaud when AMC goes under.

This movie theater is the best! I love the big comfy seats and you can even order right from your seat… this beats out Hollywood Palms and those office chairs any day! A couple of things I would like to recommend to people going to this amc…1. Make sure you purchase your movie tickets ahead of time online or using the amc app because seats fill up quickly since it is reserved seating… and 2. Try the chocolate shake! It’s severed with a brownie! Yummm

Minimally staffed and there was a problem selecting my desired seat on the touch screen. Yet, well kept and operational. Liked the chairs and it won’t feel packed. I’ll be back.

This newer theater is small, which I like as I don’t care for crowds. The location is in a slightly secluded area at Oak Brook shopping center. There are plenty of signs to help you find your way. The check in process was not efficient in my case. I did not purchase my tickets ahead of time. I used the kiosk, which worked until right after I swiped my credit card. So I had to go to the ticket window to purchase my tickets. Staff in window was not helpful when I told her what happened at the kiosk. I hope I wasn’t charged twice. Facility is clean and modern. The electric plush recliners were very comfortable. There was plenty of space in the theater. Some kind of tray or table would have been nice. Audio and visual qualities were on par. Ticket and concession offerings/​prices were typical. Bathrooms were clean. Off the beaten path, I recommend you check out this small theater.

My buddy, Brande O. and I have basically founded our entire friendship on disliking everything the other person likes Statler and Waldorf-​style, so truly it should come as no surprise to her that I’m not a fan of her most favorite movie theatre in the whole wide area.
Admittedly, I love me some new AMC theatre concept. And when I found out there was a lil’ baby one happening in Oakbrook Center I was pretty jazzed. But it has a few things working against it.
First, parking at Oakbrook Center is always a downright bitch. I mean, seriously, sometimes you have to park clear on the opposite side of the mall to where you’re actually trying to get to. And unless you’re a nazi about getting in those 10,000 steps each day then maybe you want to find a theater with a bit better parking solution. Y’know, like near it. I know I don’t tend to get to the movies too much before the show starts, so I like to sneak in quickly. But here you kinda have to plan for that extra walking to the car.
Second? You buy your tickets online (or at least I did) and then you get a handy QR code on your phone, but you still have to have the guy at the ticket window scan your phone which seems like an added and unnecessary step. At the AMC Yorktown they just scan it on your way in and let you through. Here the guy actually took my phone, scanned it and printed me regular tickets. I hate when people take my phone, because DON’T TOUCH MY STUFF!
Third, the ticket-​taker dude was totally off his game. I breezed right past his little podium and he ran after us for the tickets. He was a lil’ irked by this. Yo, you weren’t there, dude. Bruh, do you even ticket?
Finally we got to our seats and they felt somehow smaller and more cramped than what I’ve become accustomed to at Yorktown. There are no fancy tables beside you and no nifty trays that swivel around in front of you. These are just regular sized seats that happen to recline. It felt much less private too.
Finally, the screen and picture weren’t as sharp as Yorktown.
I was really surprised to hear that this theater once existed at another time, and AMC basically remodeled it and fashioned it with their fancy recliners and that was it. Did it just sit dark for years and get forgotten? I dunno.
Basically, the moral of my story is this. Drive a few extra miles and go to the Yorktown theater. This one just isn’t worth the hassle to me.

This theater isn’t very big and like everyone said, it would have been a little difficult to find if I hadn’t been following someone, but the pluses out-​way the minuses.
First thing — similar to dine-​in theaters or theaters with reclining seats — you can pick your own seats for this theater. This is always a bonus. And the seats had a wide aisle in front of them, so you could use the recliner and kick back to relax. The only negative was there was no tray table for your foods, so I had to keep my nachos on my lap. There is a very small counter area between seats where you could set things, though.
And compared to AMC Yorktown’s fancy foods menu — this theater had more what I consider theater food — nachos, pizza, popcorn with different flavored toppings, candy, chicken fingers, pretzels and all different sizes for popcorn and drinks. I know that AMC Yorktown renovated their menu, but I haven’t been back there since they did that, so I can’t exactly compare their new menu to Oak Brook’s menu, but I know I liked OB’s menu. Although the prices were extremely high. Chicken fingers, fries and a drink was a combo meal for $ 17. My order of nachos and a drink was just over $ 12. Bring your gold card… And buy discount movie tickets from somewhere, then you won’t need to sell your firstborn as well. They do have the Freestyle Coke machine, so that lessened the sting of the high prices, a little.
This probably isn’t good for the theater, but when we went to see Magic Mike last night, we were the only three people in the theater. This was nice as it allowed us to chat amongst ourselves about the hotties up on screen. The theater itself was pretty small especially now that all chairs are recliners. Not alot of people can fit in one theater.
Staff was friendly at the ticket counters and the concession stands.
Good place to go if you don’t want to deal with the crowds at some of the other theaters. Just leave breadcrumbs on your way in, so you can find your way back to your car!

Its almost like they dont want you to find it! I cant even explain how to get there because Oak Brook mall is already so complicated. Park in the garage between the container store and macy’s. the entrance is small and there are only 4 screens. On the bright side, there are only 4 screens, so for those in the area, this makes a good alternative to Yorktown. Jurassic World was sold out for the whole weekend while i was able to find next day tickets here. There is no Red Kitchen but there is a bar. I repeat, there is a bar! The new assigned seating thing AMC is doing means you have to buy tickets online in advance if you want good seats. Walk ins are welcome but the close seats are very close. I love the new electric recliners with the lifting armrests for cuddle time with the bae.

This is totally my go to theater now. Just opened a few months ago, but already we check here before anywhere else. Yes, it is teeny tiny, and it is also super duper secret and hidden but that’s exactly why we like it! It is an introvert’s heaven.
If you’re a fan of the new AMC design (aka super plush reclining loveseats and improved concessions), you should like this theater. Granted, they only have 4 screens, so their movie offerings are more limited. BUT… they only have 4 screens… so you won’t walk into a crowd of 1,000 giggling teenagers upon entry, like you do when you head to the AMC Yorktown 17 down the street. If we want to see a new release, we always go here, avoid the crowds, and take advantage of the cheap matinees. You do have to choose your seats when you buy your tickets, so we generally purchase in advance from Fandango to ensure we get the seats we want.
To address the secret location, which other reviewers have also noted: yes, it is a little tricky to find. You can park at the Orange garage and you’ll find it across from Baisi Thai and Subway. Or, you if you’re already walking the mall, it’s super easy. You simply head over to Antico Posto restaurant and you’ll see an outdoor stairway in the corner. Head down the steps and turn right. Straight ahead, you’ll see Platforms 9 and 10. Run straight at the wall between them, and voila! You’re at the AMC Oak Brook. Enjoy your show!

Nice theatre, but it is the smallest AMC I have ever seen. I believe there are only three movie rooms.
Pros
It has a full bar, traditional concession stand and freestyle Coca Cola machines.
The reclining seats which are assigned are very comfortable.
You can purchase tickets on Fandango. Upon arrival, there are both computer kiosks and representatives available for your convenience.
Cons
Finding the theatre is a bit of a hassle. There are no signs and it is not visible from the exterior perimeter of the shopping center. **It is located near the Orange Parking Garage.

It’s back! The theater is now an AMC. Basically, it’s the same old crappy theater but with new chairs.
The first problem is that it’s difficult to find. There are NO signs anywhere in the mall or in the parking garage to let you know where it is. We were in the right garage but walked out on the wrong side. Park in the orange parking garage and the theater is near Basai Thai.
There was one person at the ticket counter and a bunch of people in line. There were a few kiosks where you could get tickets if you purchased them online. The kiosks are difficult to use. It wouldn’t scan my barcode and I got an error every time I swiped my card. It seemed everyone was having the same problem so the one ticket person slowed everything down.
I’ve been to the remodeled Yorktown theater which is really nice. This one is nothing like it. The picture quality is horrible and the seats, although they are recliners, are narrow and close together.
I won’t go to this theater again because the parking is a hassle and I prefer a quality premium theater.
