AMC Rivertowne 12

Small but nice. Come early in the morning no crowds. Reclining seats and good prices early. Still overall good prices and upgraded movie theater.

They have fully remodeled the movies here. I really enjoyed my experience here it’s jus very comfortable. I could go on for days how nice & comfy it is but I won’t. If your in the area jus go to this movie theater u won’t be disappointed

Cool movie theater. I gave it five stars cuz I didn’t wanna knock the place. It’s probably closer to 4 cuz it’s not the cleanest or the fanciest theater I’ve been too, but the price and availability of seats made up for it.
I came on a Friday night to watch a fairly new movie and there were a ton of seats still available. The theaters are not the biggest, but the sound and quality were still good. I also didn’t get ripped off at the concessions stands either.
They have a deal if you buy a $ 12 card you can watch any movie on Tuesdays for $ 5.49! Thinking about getting it. Overall, AMC theaters are all pretty cheap across the country, and so is this one.

Came here one night to watch a movie. It was the only theater in our area that had seats left so since it was only 15 minutes away from the house, I figured. Why not? Upon waling in, I did notice that the theatre was not as well kept as others. Yes, it’s new but it was kinda dirty. Little pieces of trash around on the carpet. Even walking into our movie, there was trash everywhere on the carpet.
The staff were friendly and attentive. The chairs were sweet. And besides the neighbors on both sides of us talking throughout the entire movie, it was an overall good experience. The sound quality was good and the screen was great to watch while relaxing in the reclining seat.
After the movie was over, I made a pit stop to the ladies room. Let me just say, I couldn’t wait to get out of there. It was the most disgusting restroom I have ever seen. Even after washing my hands and getting out of there, I wanted to dunk my hand in some more hand sanitizer. It’s a very neglected restroom and my I was playing roulette walking into a stall and trying for another one until I found one I was comfortable in. Not cool!
I definitely would not be back here. I’ll drive a little further for something better.

My husband and I go there quite often. It is close to where we live and it’s not bad at all. We love the recliner seats and the fact that you can select your seating. The seats are very comfy.
The only thing is that the manager should keep and eye out the outside and keep it clean. The entrance into the movie room that we entered needed to be clean. The floor was a mess. Last Sat. we went and the outside was a mess with trash. That is my only complaint at this time.
Other than that we like going. I truly hope that they read these reviews and make some of the changes that people are suggesting.

Been here several times in the past few months and have had good experiences Everytime.
The theater is clean, good location, food service is a little slow, but I’m okay with that since they have a pretty wide selection on the menu.
Let’s talk about the recliner chairs! They’re the best. Super comfortable, nice, makes my movie going experience excellent each time.
Just as a small tip, movies before 12pm are 5.50 for adults and kids. You cannot get a better deal than that, especially with how great the theater is! I suggest going at this time to get the most for your money. Also, get your tickets early because you have to choose your seats. If you want specific seats (middle of the row, in the back, etc.) get your tickets early so you are guaranteed the seats you want!
Will definitely be my permanent theater for future movies :)

This used to be the worst theatre besides Marlow 6 near Iverson mall. But my have they step there game up. The manager there is a young very attentive man who is reasonable with accommodating your needs. The staff aren’t lazy and dont seem frustrated like you see at other theaters and the seats are reserved. No matter how late you are, you have a seat. And all are perfect angled at the screen. The sound is upgraded and the overall look and smell is way better then the early 2000’s lol

I was able to buy my tickets ahead of time via Fandango, thus avoiding any lines. The seats were amazing, it was like my husband and I were sitting on a love seat, except it reclined and had cup holders. We intend to exclusively go to this theater as long as we live in this area.

Rivertown was recently updated which gives this classic spot a new welcoming feel. They still have a box office but also 2 electronic ticket stations are available. I did not use the snack bar so sorry can’t tell you if the popcorn was good or not lol :).
I went on a Friday night about 7:30 it was not crowded at all. The theater was clean, they have new electric leather full size reclining chairs .The temperature was good not too cold as some theaters in the past. Movie started on time sound was clear an no interruptions. I cant speak on customer service too much as I had minimal interaction, but every staff I did come in contact with was polite .
Whille its not as fancy as other theaters that have a bar –food service –blankets– ya know all the «EXTRA PERKS» it served its purpose well .
The theater sits in a shopping center so either before or after dinner –shopping –or cruising around its worth a stop if you have the time .
All in All I can see myself frequenting this theater as the location is convenient for If am just in the spontaneous mood to catch a movie.

I came here on Saturday, the 2^nd because I was determined to see Star Wars & I am a fan as much as the next nerd, but I didn’t want to have to deal with noise. So, I came for the earliest show they had, which was 10:00 am. I got in with no problem, but what I didn’t realize was that this showing was in 3D! After a while, my eyes (as you can see, I wear glasses) adjusted to the screen. There wasn’t a lot of people either. This place is cheaper than Regal Cinemas because I only paid $ 8 & some change for my ticket! I like this since I live near here & now I don’t have to always venture into DC when a movie comes out that I want to see.

It has been a few years since I’ve been to this theater because it had really dropped in quality of service and clientele, but they have remodeled and I thought I’d give it another chance. The theater is really nice physically and the customer service is very friendly. BUT when I’m sitting in the theater writing this review because my movie was supposed to start 30 minutes ago and they can’t get he screen to work tells me that they still have some work to do. I will give them another chance because things do happen which I understand. So it’s a good start AMC but again still needs work.

Saw Spectre a few weeks ago at this theater, our first visit here.
Staff was decent, pleasant enough and got us right through. Concessions folks were nice, made small talk while taking my order.
Theater and lobby were both clean. Bathrooms were clean and seemed to be kept up.
Best part are the seats — reclining leather seats. I’m 6’4″ and was plenty comfortable — not usually the case.
I’ll be back.

Love the new seating and enjoyed seeing Star Wars here this evening. We wish they had these theaters in Salt Lake City UT.

3.5, 4 stars on a good day.
Upgrades are fab… big, reclining seats, assigned seats, self serve soda machines, self serve ticket kiosk.
A star off… lately, I can hear bass and sound from other movies. I can tune it out, but to hear it is slightly off putting. Lastly, can’t blame the theater, but ppl not sitting in their assigned seat and me having to ask them to move is annoying as hell.

We had to drive out here from Waldorf to see The Green Inferno. I liked the shopping center that it was in, except the dollar tree next door, which was revolting. The theater itself was really nice, a little small compared to other AMC theatres but I liked it. The popcorn was fresh, bathrooms were clean, and seats were comfortable. The employees seemed a little rude and never smiled. But other than that, I wouldn’t mind coming back out to this theater if we had a complication at ours.

I would give a higher rating for the UPGRADES, but 0 for the Staff. The upgrades are wonderful. The concession area is more inviting, and the seats are extremely comfortable. I love having a reserved seat so you don’t have to rush and crowd in with others. I’m super pleased with the décor and comfort level of the movie theater.
I’ve been twice since the upgrades. The Staff is horrible overall. I hate to lump them all together, as there is a particularly delightful young lady named Ashley who has helped me with tickets. There was also a young Hispanic man who was very helpful behind the concession stand. THAT IS WHERE THE COMPLIMENTS STOP.
We were harassed by Management and made to feel like criminals in this movie theater. Mind you, I am 41 years old, and I went to see a movie with my Husband — it started at 8:20pm. About 10 minutes into the start of the movie, we realized it wasn’t that great. There was another movie starring at 8:45, that we also wanted to see. My husband said he’d go check that theater to see if there were any available seats (since they are all reserved). If there were, we were going to go pay to go to that movie. Mind you — we weren’t looking for refunds.
The Security guard noticed my husband going into the other theater and back out, he told him he was not allowed to walk around. Look, I understand they have to make sure people aren’t sneaking in, but he became belligerent. He questioned my husband on the location of his ticket stub, and my husband said his wife had it. He radioed to someone named Tammy that there was a problem. They followed him to his seat, then two women came over to me and said they needed to see our tickets. It took me a minute, because I just threw them into the bottom of my purse. In a nasty tone, she told me I needed to leave to find them. I told her that wasn’t necessary. After I produced the tickets, she radios to someone else that we do in fact have valid, purchased tickets. She then says: «well, even though you have tickets, I could still make y’all leave.» This infuriated my husband. He asked why she was trying to make a scene in the movie theater. They raise their voices and start saying we need to get out. They threatened to call 911 if we didn’t leave. The original security guard comes back and says he will embarrass us if we don’t leave. We ignored them and refuse to move. We paid for the ticket! After a minute, they said when they come back, we will be embarrassed in front of everyone and they leave. They never returned for the remainder of the movie. But I didn’t enjoy the movie at all; not only because I wanted to pay to go to another movie anyway, but I was afraid at any time they would come back and make another scene and force us to leave.
By the way, the 2 Managers (including Tammy) and the Security guard were all black or African. I am also black. I am stunned at the level of general disrespect they have — as if every black person will cause trouble so they have to treat them with no respect off the break. They were rude and drunk with the tiny amount of power they think they have. I will NEVER return to this theater.

I decided to visit this theater after hearing about the upgrades that had been made. After purchasing my ticket and walking in, I wasn’t too sure if it was even open as there were boxes sitting at the door and all of the staff were crowded around a table playing cards. They looked at me then at each other like «who is going to get up and help her?» Eventually a young lady stopped her conversation with the young man working at the concessions stand to come over and take my ticket.
I was 10 minutes early for the movie. Usually when you arrive early to a movie, there is some type of movie trivia and/​or behind the scenes footage on the screen. The projector hadn’t even been turned on. I sat in the dark theater by myself for 10 minutes which was really creepy. I was worried there was no one working in the projection room since all of the staff seemed to be engaged in a card game outside. Fortunately, the previews started on time.
Once the movie ended, I walked out and the staff were all still sitting around talking. There wasn’t any type of customer service. It reminded me of one of the reasons I had stopped coming to this theater in the first place: the unprofessional staff. Even with the upgraded seats, AMC Rivertowne will still be considered a last resort when it comes to local movie theaters.

I decided to try this theater after hearing so much about the upgrade.
The upgrade is in fact great. The chairs are super comfortable, the leg room is great, and overall the theater I was in (#9) was very clean.
Okay, that was the good.
If you’re an adult that actually prefers to be quiet during a movie and have others around you do the same this is not the place to go on a weekend. When I went back and looked at what my friends said they all went on a weekday during the day.
I will never again go to this theater at night or on a weekend. This kids and hood folk are too much.
The customer service of the employees can use an upgrade. The employees aren’t rude, they just aren’t welcoming/​friendly.
I’m giving it a ⁴⁄₅ strictly because of the upgrade. If the customer service upgrades, and it’s a weekday, I’ll be back.

Folks
You’re sleeping On this newly renovated movie theatre! They have the plush reclining seats and the employees are very friendly. Listen I left Hoffman Theatre ages ago to go to Waldorf. I now left Waldorf for Rivertowne! You gotta check it out. I don’t know how they did it but these are big movie theaters! I love it. The crowds aren’t here folks!

Very clean! I really enjoyed my exp. here. Plenty of drink options and refills! For the first time in a while I didn’t stop at the dollar tree next door! Seating is amazing, you have a chance to pick your own seats!

I’m very pleased with the upgrade. I honestly forgot what theater I was at until we stepped outside… LOL. But everything was nice and new. I hope it stays that way. Although I must say that I’m not sure it will…
the employees are why there’s only 4 stars. We didn’t have to speak to the ticket people since we got tickets through Fandango, so no opinion there… we walk inside and see all the employees crowded at the concession stand talking… they don’t even notice us walk in initially. I kinda chalked it up to the fact that our movie was at 10:30 in the morning. Maybe we were the first people there… anyway, one of them finally notices us and signals to the ticket person. She walks up and his very friendly as she scans my phone. She heads back to her friends at the stand and we literally have to ask her what theater we are in and then we have to remind her that we’re seeing a 3D movie and that we need glasses… once we get them we make our way to the theater only to find out that it’s the wrong one… SMH.
No matter how good the theater is now, it’ll never stay that way if the employees don’t take some sort of pride in their jobs… we’ll go back for sure, for now…

I am disguusted by this theatre. It gets two stars only because I liked the movie I saw. The people working there seem very distracted or sleeping while they are working sorta thing which I can understand. When I work sometimes I get tired, I understand but I do not outwardly show it.
MAIN POINTS:
* I FOUND AN ARMPIT HAIR OR SOME OTHER BODILY HAIR IN MY POPCORN. Like ew???
* The movie was supposed to start at 12:30, it started at like 12:45. There weren’t even any previews running at that time, it was just a black screen. It was like they said oh yeah forgot to start the movie.
* There were immense amount of popcorn left in the seats from I guess an earlier showing.
* I bought my brother’s ticket and he is tall but he is very young and eligible for child tickets which i asked for and the woman who was ringing me laughed at me and said he wasnt.
* No one asked for my AMC card and I am immensely forgetful so I didnt remember until i sat down in my seat so i didn’t get any of my points for anything.
I have been to less fancy theatres with better service.
My suggestion? Go to Magic Johnson

I’m oh too familiar with the Rivertowne of the older days (80’s/90’s). It was a hangout with an arcade and funnel cake/​ice cream spots right next door. So when I saw an online post regarding a remodeled theatre. I thought I’d at least check it out. Came to an early bird show so it wasn’t crowded at all. The automated ticket machines weren’t working so I had to go to the teller. The customer service was nice. Maybe it was because it was so early, idk but everyone spoke with a smile. The theatre is nice and clean. but small. Both a good and bad thing. We will see. Not saying it’s gona be my go to theatre but def an option in the rotation. Overall. Rivertowne has done good. Just hope they keep it up. School is out now. lord only knows what that will bring.

AMC did a great job with renovating this theater. If you remember visiting in the past it looks vastly different! New reclining seats that you can find at the AMC in Waldorf. Very clean nice carpet. Well lit. Digital screens with theater number, movie, and showing times. Even the kiosks are upgraded with a scan feature to scan a QR code (Fandango provided this in a confirmation email).
Staff was friendly. I was greeted by the ticket seller as soon as I opened the door. Ticket taker and concession staff was friendly as well.
On a 6÷7÷15 visit, it seemed as if the morning concession lady wasn’t very sure of the AMC stubs card use or upgrades. The person in front of me had such a hard time. My free upgrades for drinks and popcorn were just charged at regular price.
Nice to have a reserved seating option so close to home. I can be there in less than 10 minutes and can avoid most of St barnabas/​Oxon Hill Rd traffic on busier times by taking back roads.

I was pleasantly surprised at the upgraded theater — this MIGHT be my new favorite place.
I no longer have to go to Courthouse or Waldorf to get reserved seating.
The place was bright, clean and vibrant.
All of the workers were happy and they looked like they enjoyed working (even though it was a holiday).
My popcorn was stale. BUT… I came back out before the movie started and informed the young man who took my order. He apologized over and over again, dumped all of the old popcorn and made a fresh new batch. I was happy, He could have just popped more popcorn on the old batch (which Ive seen people do at other theaters).
I will definitely be back,
