AMC Garden State 16

Always excited to visit this theater! The staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean and overall a good experience. Worth the drive every time! I would highly recommend going here.

Parking can be inconvenient depending on when you go, mall crowd and all, but lots of dining selections right there in the mall and surrounding it, and IMax, etc. Much better than the Clifton one, in my book.

Really nice well kept movie theatre. The only thing that they need to improve on is the ticket kiosk. They seem to always be out of paper.

A-​OK Movie Theater!
Any movie that is currently out can be found here with municipal showings throughout the day. Since it is attached to the mall, we often do some shopping or dinner and then catch a movie. Movie prices are around $ 18.00 at this point (which is kinda high but I think normal).
Only complaint is that it is NOT always the cleanest. During the week their cleaning crew sometimes seems to slack and you get into a theater where there is popcorn everywhere! Ew. While still new the place could use a good cleaning… but still a good movie theater.

It is one of the busiest locations but I was very happy with the customer service given to me by the management of this theater. I had used amc green tickets to see the revenant with my friend but he could not make it. I asked them to transfer the tickets to a showing for tomorrow and they transferred the tickets for me no problem.

Theater is still great I think they are going a little overboard with the new technology of scanning to get tickets. Most people don’t know how to use the kiosks I recommend learning that way you can avoid lines… I saw revenant today AMC prime theater with reclining chairs pretty AWSOME only in theater 3. I take full advantage of the stubs membership and movie night is Tuesday matinée pricing all day and all night for members!

We’ve been coming here for years and seen lots of changes in the way customer queuing is handled and how tickets are sold. First ticket sales. Ok to horrible. They installed ticket kiosks at the counter several months back and did away with anyone behind the counter. We stopped coming for 2 months due to that change. Today ticket agents are back. Guess they got enough complaints. The consescion line usually runs well. Today was strange though. No one on line and 5 people behind the counter at registers. I walk through the queue line and as I get the the front all but one walks away! They have got to step up their training!

Their could be more leg space, and the seats could be plusher. I do not believe any of their theaters have reclining seats. The 3D was weak, but I am not sure if it was the theaters technology, or the movie. I do not see a Real 3D XPlus with Dolby Atmos theater listed, which appears to give the best movie experience at the time of this writing.
It seems that that they are going for volume versus comfort. At $ 18+ a ticket, perhaps they should just run more shows.

I do enjoy coming to this theater, it is always pretty clean, theaters all have good views of the screen, but it is a bit pricey, and the parking is terrible since it is attached to one of the busiest malls in the area.

A real IMAX theatre! The screen is gigantic but not as big as New York City Lincoln Plaza. That said its really good. The problem is the Garden State plaza is a mad house of a mall with too many people and too much of a pain in the ass to get in and out of… of course I went on a day during holiday season to see Star Wars on its second day out… but whatever. Anyway — they theatre is legit and they have those cool Cole machines… and a popcorn, two late soda deal for 20 dollars… ok that’s not really a deal but you do get to put as much butter flavor topping goo on your popcorn as you want.

I’ve done the Star Wars marathon, bathroom were a mess, garbage bins weren’t pick up for over twelve hours in the marathon. very unprofessional Managers should learn more customer services skill.

This movie theater was good, very clean, and a friendly staffs. My friends and I were enjoyed watching a movie while eating our snacks in there.
Love this places, and I might come here again

A moment of silence for the RKO/​Cineplex Odeon/​whatever it was after that 10 flex that was farther west on Route 4. It is not a 24 Hour Fitness location. In 1983 I saw Return of the Jedi and waited 4 hours in the parking lot. the AMC 16 is the prototypical AMC location. Even the smaller theaters are big and the big theaters are really BIG. They could use more ticket machines. (keep this in mind when Force Awakens comes out no joke it is going to be nuts) I often get the Gold Passes from Costco but I also have MoviePass so it depends on what I use. The staff has always been okay-​no complaints. We like to go on Sunday nights when the Mall is closed and it is a little less chaotic.

Huge theater with a crazy parking situation (it’s at the mall, after all) but the line wasn’t long when I went on a Friday night. Comfy stadium seats, and love that they do reserved seating so you don’t have to show up insanely early. Bathrooms are surprisingly nice and very clean.

Other than the staff, this theater is pretty good. Fairly large, comfy seats, a good movie selection year round and clean facilities.
Those selling tickets are always slow as can be whoever is in charge of those ticket machines is lackluster as well, as one or two of them are usually broken. As for the snack stand, the staff is EVEN slower. Most of them walk to where they need to be without any kind of rush, despite a massive lineup. They pay little attention to the customers, glancing around the lobby and making no eye contact. But worst of, they chat and chat and chat with each other. They crack jokes, they have fun, they talk, which is normally perfectly fine, but when people are in line for something as simple as a bottle of water, already late for their movie, that is unacceptable. The staff needs to quicken their pace all around and the management needs to either whip everyone into shape or get rid of them.
Cheaper prices all around may make the crappy service more acceptable, but sadly food and ticket prices keep rising, and the staff keep getting worse and worse.

Always clean, always friendly, comfortable seating. There are a lot of candy and snack options as well.
Does the job for me!

This is the theatre we normally come to. Lots of show time options. There is a long wait normally though on weekends for tickets so I suggest to buy ahead of time. They are very organized with lines when it’s for new movies that just opened. The food options are typical and okay. I once got coffee late in the day and they made me a fresh cup with no complaints.

Typical AMC movie theater — lots of screens, lots of popcorn, lots of crowds — if you’ve been to one AMC, you’ve been to them all. This location at GSP gets especially crowded. I would recommend using your credit card and going straight to the ticket machines to avoid the long lines. Stadium style seating is fine, although I have to admit this theater loses some points since it is the priciest of all the movie chains around and does not have the comfy recliner seats popping up in the area recently.
I’m giving 4 stars due to the courteous and helpful staff here. Recently, I was with someone in a wheelchair and when we got to the theater on a Sunday afternoon, the mall elevator wasn’t working. I went up to AMC and the manager immediately showed me to the staff elevator in the back and waited for us to come up to show us into the theater. Much appreciated!

Considering I want to start this review with a «Back in my day, movie tickets used to be _​_​_​» apparently, I’m getting old. Seriously though, when did standard movie showings go up to $ 12 a pop? Then $ 16 for 3D, $ 18 for IMAX. And don’t even get me started on the drinks and snack prices… ridiculous! I’ll take Netflix on my 32″ TV and some microwavable popcorn any day. But then again, I’m cheap.
The theaters themselves are nice, they’re stadium style so you don’t have to worry about a big person sitting in front of you blocking your view. The screens are huge and the sound system is good. Expect 20+ minutes of previews just like any other theater. Conveniently located at the Garden State Plaza mall next to Grand Lux Café.
It’s a large, good quality theater in a convenient place, but the highway robbery prices keep me away. I’ll stick to going to Starplex in Ridgefield where the ticket prices are way more reasonable, and the seats are 10x more comfortable.

I rarely go to the movie theater. On the regular, I would rather stay at home and watch a movie via netflix rather than driving to a mall, battle for parking, paying thirteen dollars for a movie ticket and pretending to be some sort of James Bond villain in order to clandestinely bring snacks into the theater. That being said, I really enjoyed the overall movie experience at AMC 16.
This large theater is located in North Jersey’s largest mall (Garden State Plaza).
AMC 16 boasts over 16 theaters, in addition to IMAX screens. The theaters have stadium seating and ultra comfy plush chairs with retractable arms (so you can cuddle up with your seatmate). Other cool features of the theater include the extra large screens with crisp picture, awesome surround sound and plethora of seats. However, the best feature of these theaters is the extra leg room. AMC offers you so much space per seat that it rivals some studio apartments in NYC.
The theater, corridors and bathrooms were all very clean. The snack bar, though expensive, did have a large selection of treats and meals.
My biggest complaint about the theater is parking. Since it is located in Garden State Plaza, you are going to compete with minivans, holiday shoppers, tourists and even ninjas (okay, maybe not ninjas…).
Ticket prices are what you would expect, thirteen dollars with tax. Though expensive, considering you can stream netflix for $ 20 a month, it is the going rate for most movie theaters.
Overall, AMC 16 is one of the better movie theaters in NJ.
