AMC Universal CityWalk 19 Los Angeles

very simply put, i have never seen I-​Max format before, and i will never forget that my first time happened just short of turning 40 years old, and it made me feel and act like a kid again, when movies were a trip to some kind of magical realm that i am visiting. Thats exactly how i felt as soon as we walked in and set down in this massive theater room with gigantic, crystal sharp I-​Max screen, sick sound system and feeling like a i was a boy again since the moment i got there. I will definetly be recommending to all my friends that next time they go to movies, looking into IMAX movie and AMC Universal, is about as close as the will feel like they are kids again. Opporunity like that is Priceless, end of story!

I never had a bad experience in this theatre, I love the smaller theatres with reclining chairs, the best surround sound, their IMAX is amazing!

I recently watched X-​Men at the AMC CW 19. I was very surprised to see the remodeled theaters which included plush recliners and new updated look. The Dolby Atmos surround sound shook our seats and the laser projection was crystal clear. My friend commented that it had the «new car smell» too and she even fell asleep in the reclined seats. The theater is still under remodel, but 7 new theaters are already opened. Make sure you check for theaters 8 – 14 for the new theaters. AMC Burbank only has 1 theater like this, so I will definitely be back again and again.

Watching Captain America. Had some trouble with our seat, it was broken. Bought 3 seat, 2 of them were broken. So we moved to another corner. Unaware of the selected seats because when we bought the ticket, the ticket girl didn’t asked us to choose. So while we were waiting for the movie and popcorn munching, we were asked to moved rudely by a couple who bought that seat. Throwing some nasty comments. But hey the place wasn’t even full and I insisted to watch the movie so we didn’t walked out or talk to a manager or something.
Beside that uncool couple and broken seat, experience in this location always great.

My friend and I came here to watch the Captain American: Civil War yesterday (05÷07÷16) after our day trip to Universal Studio. We were trying to find another movie theater nearby, yet we didn’t want to bother to spend more time on finding a parking spot.
The parking fee for coming to Universal Studio is $ 18. If you have the movie ticket, the AMC customer service center would refund you $ 13 in cash. As a result, the total price for parking is $ 5. If I’m not here for Universal Studio, I wouldn’t come here for the movie because of the expensive parking fee. ($ 5 parking is still pretty expensive considering the regular movie ticket is around $ 15)
Pros:
Tons of restaurants nearby. Different options for you choose from, but I prefer to drive somewhere else for cheaper food.
Seats are assigned. As long as you buy the ticket early enough, you will have a good spot.
Cons:
Expensive parking fee.
The seat was very uncomfortable for me. We were in show room #1. You could try to lean back, but you wouldn’t be able to electronically adjust your seats. There were plenty room for legs, but I would still love to have a sofaish seat. I still prefer the seats in AMC LA JOLLA (San Diego YASSS) where they are literally sofa: D
Overall, it is a good option for the people who spend their day in Universal Studio or live in the nearby hotels to come to this Cinema. Otherwise, doesn’t worth the trip.

They have a real IMAX screen! If you wanna see a film shot with IMAX cameras go here! If you’re just gonna see a regular film tho, you might be better off going to a theater close to home since there’s nothing special about the regular auditoriums in Citywalk. But the IMAX is great.

Love to come to this place. Love all the different stores and restaurants. No matter what day of the week i go its always fun. Its likebeen a tourist just a few miles from home.

No cons. Stands upstairs ci gestes and aléas underground construction. Not Woerth thé minet They charge

I went to see The Jungle book in 3D this past weekend. Im not usually a fan of 3D movies because the glasses always bother me but to my surprise these ones were pretty comfy.
I liked the IMAX theater as far as sound and picture go but the seats are a little to close together, I felt squished.
One thing I did like is that I used the fandango app to buy the tickets and got $ 13 off parking when I got the tickets from the window which was awesome!
Of course this theater being at city walk makes it fun because there is lots to do before or after the movie. Its a fun location and a decent theater.

okay i’m giving five stars because the actress melissa mccarthy came in before the movie the boss started to give us gifts!!. i was so happy and satisfied it made my night !
besides that the popcorn is good, service is okay and the environment is cool it looks very nice.

Adding to the wealth of things to do at CityWalk besides shop, eat, and of course Universal Studios itself, this theater offers high-​quality picture and sound and a ridiculous amount of screens. There’s plenty of displays and posters, too, if you have time to wander and admire them.
Excellent choice if you want to see a movie in 3D or IMAX, and the large bank of automated kiosks means you can bypass the line if you want to.
Concessions are overpriced, as per usual, but quality is good and the popcorn is actually tasty. There are two concessions counters, though usually only one of them is fully staffed.
The low rating is mostly due to the lack of patrolling and response to poor theater behavior. Employees don’t regularly check the theaters and there’s almost always a problem with cell phones, loud talking, etc. On a few occasions when the behavior was reported it seemed like a hassle for theater employees to get something done about it.

Clean
Good sound.
Not bad for a 3D movie
They can improve the cleaning of the popcorn section.

A movie heater is just a movie theater, right? Nothing too special about this place. I’m writing a review to talk about what we all want to know about… The concession stand!
Popcorn was salty, and on top of that they have a butter station on the side for you to self serve. The problem with this is, of course, when you want butter throughout its messy. It would be so much easier if the workers handled the butter option… I’d be way more satisfied, maybe I’d even eat ALL of my popcorn!
Also, the way the theater is roped off downstairs you can only walk one direction to get in. Our movie was upstairs and I’m technically not suppose to be walking up stairs due to my injury. I took it slow and managed. As we walked out we noticed an escalator that could’ve been really handy just a couple hour earlier. Lol. I guess we need to open our eyes a bit more.

You can never go wrong coming to this movie theater. There are clubs and restaurants around. And don’t forget to go to the candy store before you go into the movie theater. If you can see it in IMAX 3d do it! You also get $ 5 back from parking off your movie tickets.

Great theatre although I do prefer AMC 16. I come to this one when it’s really late at night since they have late screenings. I don’t like the fact that you have to pay for parking although they do give you a 5 dollar rebate.

Decent. The imax 3d was great. Efficient and to the point. But could use some deep cleaning and definitely needs a renovation, especially given the prime location. Parking is $ 18 but they give a $ 13 credit towards the tickets. Popcorn is also a bit mealy, not as crisp as it could be. With drink it is $ 14.

Pros: great seat. They sell good snacks and good hot drinks. The nachos are good but it sucks that they charge extra for cheese. The good thing they have a rewards card and show different movies at one time .
Cons: they dont let you bring outside food. They dont sell alcohol. The staff selling the food are mean and dont hear your order right.

I like to read bad reviews as you can really get a feel for a person by them. In the same vein, there are the 5 star’ers that love everything as well. But, really, read the bad reviews here, and you can tell some people just like to complain.
GET YOUR PARKING VALIDATED. $ 5 is better than $ 17.
One woman complained about the no-​outside-​food policy. Was this her first movie going experience? I don’t think I’ve ever was able to bring my own stuff. It’s called your girlfriend’s purse– it’s basic necessary need is to smuggle in your Jujyfruits (and whatever she is bringing.)
Bad thing is it seems understaffed, and not with the best, most prompt of people. But, that’s that. It’s a movie theater. It’s usually not packed. It’s exactly what you’ll expect.

Great theater, comfortable seats, has IMAX screen.
But parking is a pain and expensive.
I recommend coming here for a movie only if you are going to eat, walk, shop City Walk after… then the parking cost doesn’t seem as bad!

I was so excited to see the new Star Wars movie here. I even bought tickets for 2 nights in a row because with the new laser projectors I was sure this was going to be the best theater experience of my life. The projectors are nice but its to bad you can’t see anything though the blurred glare filled 3d glasses. They also have an odd rainbow prism around the edges. I am so sad and disappointed. I don’t live close to this theater but I drove out because I wanted the best, sadly this is not it.

1. $ 5 for parking w/​validation is a rip-​off.
2. $ 17 for parking with $ 12 reimbursement at movie theater is retarded.
3. the theater size is small.
4. the pop-​corn is of choke-​to-​death kinda quality.
5. the teaser blocks are too long.
6. the staff is incompetent at times (don’t know what movies playing and at what times).
7. the imax is too pricey.
8. the seats are shabby.
the only good thing is the projectionist keeps making sure that the image is sharp… and in today’s laid-back-don’t-give-a-shit-kinda world it’s a big plus.

One of my favorite theaters in LA. The experience alone of being at universal city walk is a pleasure. It definitely is a more extravagant way to go see a movie. This time we went to see The Martian in 3D IMAX. the screen was clean and new. Without any noticeable blemishes which is extremely important to me while watching films.
I ordered tickets online in advance through Fandango. Preselected seating is always ideal.
One thing I thought to be strange was paying for parking upon arrival. It was mandatory to pay $ 17 upfront. When I told the ticket booth people we were there to see a movie she said, «just show the ticket office your receipt and they will refund you $ 12.» They did give me the refund. But it was in cash and not back to my card. I will happily return time and time again.

Not the Arclight but if you’re going to universal Citywalk already and hafta pay 17 for parking, they give 12 bucks back, so parking becomes only 5. If you show them your receipt at the window they’ll just take it right off of your ticket price, otherwise see the guest services right when you walk in and they’ll hand cash back. So easy. Also, the seats are super comfy and the arms move, so you can make it into a couch where you’re just kicking back and watching a movie with friends.
Lost one star because on Friday/​Saturday nights people drink and then wander into these theatres and sit in the back and act, well, drunk which can be disruptive. Most other times (I just came from The Martian tonight) it’s pretty quiet and these movie fans are avid (or already in a great mood), it’s the only theatre where I’ve heard them clap at the end of the good ones. Also, they have a lot of theatres and they run the movies late.
You can choose your seats in most of the theatres in advance and you can purchase online, at the kiosk outside or from the box office. The lines can get crazy though so if you’re going over a weekend get there early.

I used to think it was a hassle to go to CityWalk for the movies. I mean you have to deal with all the crazy theme park parking and crowds. But I guess the movie parking rebate is worth it. just don’t forget your receipt. Anyways, the actual theater itself is pretty good. The staff does a really good job at cleaning the theater before each movie. The ticket cashiers are really nice and customer friendly.
It is also a good spot to go if you want to have dinner before or after at CityWalk because you have so many choices to choose from.
Now that I have a pass I think I’ll be coming here more and more often… whether to the movies, dinner, park, or any combination of the 3.

This is really not my favorite theater at all. Facts of the matter, I hate to come to City Walk. It is just a big hassle just to come here to watch a movie, not to mention the $ 19 per ticket plus parking after discount. Plenty of screens here and most movies released are showing here. If you are a fan of IMAX or 3D they have if for you. The seats are OK. We watched «SPY» which was funny indeed. Would I go back here to watch a movie? I doubt it!
I will stick to my favorite AMC7 Fallbrook in the west valley with the reclining leather seats and the price of 11.50−12.50 per ticket.

This is a pretty nice theater on Universal Studios CityWalk it’s very crowded theater they play lots of good movie see her they have an IMAX and 3-​D movies also Lotta food places around the area just remember it’s $ 17 to park save your receipt when you go to the movie and then only cost you five bucks

I came here to see Jurassic World in IMAX 3D. It is not a cheap ticket. I believe I paid $ 20.00 bucks including the transaction fee. I don’t know why management allows people to enter the theatre once the previews started and you already put your 3D glasses on. This is really annoying
and management should change this policy. For a twenty dollar ticket I should get a better movie experience and not be annoyed by people talking and trying to find their seats, so ANNOYING. Jurassic World was too predictable and just o. k, not amazing.

Not the best AMC, but also not the worse. The worse AMC I have been to is the one at The Block in Orange… which reminds me — I still have to write my review about my experience there…
Anyways, this AMC is located at the CityWalk, also where Universal Studios is. This theater is pretty big. I like that they have a display outside for the «big» movie that is currently playing. I went inside this theater for the first time this weekend with my boyfriend to see Jurassic World after spending the day at Universal Studios. FOr Jurassic World, they had the gyropod that the 2 boys were in during the movie.
I like that you can reserve your seats online for later showings… which is also a deterrent for trying to sneak in. There was a couple sitting next to us who I believed snuck in because the person that actually had those seats reserved showed up and they had to leave… I saw them just randomly sit down somewhere lol.
The seats are typical theater seats. The particular theater we were in #5, was not as big as I had imagined. The seating was lower than normal, but high enough that you could still see. I don’t know if all the screens are the same, but we reserved for the last row in this showing and the seats looked pretty dirty, like they needed some serious upholstery cleaning… I was glad our particular seats did not look as dirty. Also, for whatever reason, I could feel the metal hinge in the back of the seat. At first I thought it was just mine, but I felt my boyfriend’s seat and could feel the metal hinge too. That was very uncomfortable and I had to use my sweater to add some cushion so the metal part would not rub on my back the entire time. They need to update the seats in this theater. It would be nice if they had reclining seats like at some AMC’s.
Overall, this theater is okay. It’s good to go to if you are already planning on going to either the CityWalk or Universal Studios. In fact, I recommend adding a movie to your itinerary if there’s a movie you plan on seeing and are already either going to the CityWalk or Universal Studios. Why? The biggest reason is that your parking cost will greatly decrease! That is probably the main reason to see a movie here. If you watch a movie at this AMC, parking will only cost you $ 5, instead of $ 17! After spending the day at Universal, we saw a movie here to offset the cost of parking. They give you the difference, in cash! You can either get your «parking rebate» at the box office or guest services. We ordered our tickets ahead of time online so we went to guest services. Since we picked up our tickets at the kiosks outside, we went to guest services later, after the movie, when the line died down. I also forgot my sweater in the theater as I was using it as a cushion and had already walked out of the theater. However, I had no trouble getting back in when I said I had forgotten my sweater inside. I was able to retrieve it without any issues. The workers were nice, from getting in and out of the theater and at guest services getting our parking rebate.
Would I come to this theater again? I would, but ONLY if I was already planning on spending the day either at Universal Studios or Citywalk. Otherwise, this theater is not worth the hassle of going out of your way to get to. Parking can be time consuming and the theater itself if out of the way to get to. If they update the seating more, I may be willing to go out of my way to see a movie here… but for now, it will be mainly if I’m already here and want to help cut down on parking costs. I just have to remember my sweater to cushion the metal hinges on the chairs unfortunately!

I think $ 19 is too much to spend on a movie, but it was opening weekend for Avengers at 9:30 pm on a Friday and also in 3D… so all that adds up to a pricey ticket.
We pre-​bought our tickets a week or so in advance so had great seats. They were super comfy and lots of leg room.
This AMC in particular draws a disrespectful crowd. We had several people that had screaming kids and one guy that kept making comments about various things happening on screen. I think the tourist atmosphere of City Walk comes into the movie theater and you get a group of people that are not as invested in the movie.
Parking is hard on a Friday night, we had to park all the way up on the top roof level. There were a few sections of the garage on lower levels that were empty but blocked off. Make sure you add extra time for parking if you are going to a movie, I think it took us about 10 mins to find a spot. Luckily tickets were easy to pick up and there were quite a few previews before the film so we ended up right on time.

After walking around Citywalk for a while, we decided to see a movie here. There was a huge line outside, but that’s expected with a big movie release (Furious 7). Once we were inside, the place is clean and there are ample employees everywhere to point you in the direction. Our movie theater was on the smaller side because the movie was several weeks old. With that said, the seats are so incredibly comfortable. They are wide, they recline, and they are very soft and clean.

I had a pretty good experience at this theatre. No lines. Everything was clean. The place was updated enough. Sound and picture quality were good. I am recently spoiled by reclining seats but the seats here had some rocking room so it wasn’t uncomfortable.
Definitely an AMC I’d return to. Plus, you can’t beat hanging out on the Citywalk before or after your movie. I paid 16 bucks for parking on my card, I turned my parking ticket in at the box office for validation and just handed me back 11 in cash. Not bad.
I bought a black coffee inside and it wasn’t too bad, Seattle’s Best in fact.
