Looks like It might be the last Imax movie since Ad Astra is not showing in imax only dolby..maybe they’ll start renovating the theater and put in new seats an updated sound system and laser projection. I plan on seeing the clown movie this weekend even though it doesn’t fill up the screen but the trailers some of them do. The Imax is kinda outdated compared with newer imax systems as Dolby still dominates at this theater with the vibrating recliners and surround sound and great picture despite a few movies that are cropped from flat ratio as the screen is scope.
Saw on Friday night the peanut butter falcon and it was not that crowded the movie was enjoyable and the presentation was pretty good for a low budget movie. I heard that the 4k Dolby of the matrix is great even though I own it on streaming 4k not to mention the original dvd and seeing it in 35mm in Wayne.
Just came back from angel has fallen in Dolby and the projection has improved a bit the sound is great and soon amc will no longer have paper towels in their restrooms in order to protect the environment so they’ll use the hand dryers .
moviebuff82 you partially answered your own question as to why movie going is down: INCREASED PRICES!!!!!!!
Went to see Ready or Not in theater #11 and the audio here is better as well as the picture which was kinda dark but very sharp. Audience was well behaved and enjoyed the film. Can’t believe they cut back on morning showtimes as this month is usually slow for moviegoing as people get ready for back to school sales and summer is almost over. No wonder why AMC stock is not doing well as moviegoing is still down from last year despite some good films and increased prices.
Saw good boys in the same auditorium and they fixed the issue somewhat crowd behaved and laughed a lot. This theater is in need of a makeover soon.
went to see Hobbs and Shaw in theater #7 last afternoon at 5 and noticed they weren’t using the surrounds just the front three channels and the subwoofer. Picture had minor cropping and the picture flickered a bit yet it was very bright. Movie was enjoyable.
Saw Yesterday in theater #4. Masking was done right, the colors were good, and the sound mix was pretty good. According to IMDB, the 5.1 48khz DCP mix is a downmix of the Dolby Atmos track that was also used in larger venues and will be on the bluray. Film was shot on 8k and mastered in 4k. Crowd enjoyed the movie pretty good. The popcorn here is pretty good and the soda was decent.
Saw stuber in auditorium 12 and thought that it sounded and looked good. Then I saw once upon a time in Hollywood in auditorium 3 and noticed the top portion was blocked off a bit but nothing major was visible like words. During some trailers the logos were cut off on the bottom. Sound mix was 5.1 and sounded great and the picture was good since it was shot on film and transferred to 4k for digital release. Crowd behaved and laughed during some scenes. This movie will become his biggest movie since django unchained. They need to renovate the seats especially in the lower level of the auditoriums.
Hopefully this theater will be the next to go laser imax after the renovations on the other amc nj imax theatres as laser imax offers better projection and sound than dolby scope.
Saw the art of self defense in theater #13. The poor framing made the subtitles hard to read and the picture was a bit dim. The sound was good though.
Saw the lion king in auditorium #1 and the presentation was great. Too bad the bathrooms were messy.
Saw two movies the past few days…saw Crawl in theater #4 and enjoyed it. Presentation was very film like due to the movie being shot on Kodak film then transferred to digital. Rocketman had a bit of dim projection since auditorium #13 was also being used for 3d movies, but the sound was amazing in 7.1!!! Still plenty of seats available for Lion King remake, so i’ll wait until two days before opening day to see it.
saw midsommar in theater #14…framing was perfect and audio was good and brightness and color was ok. Some of the seats are getting worn out.
Saw Spider-Man far from home in imax and enjoyed the movie. Presentation was spot on and the audio was great.
And improve the color and brightness of the projectors!!!
Yup. And the ticket tearer busy who can also scan qr codes on cell phones. On some screens, AMC has recently put in the reserved seating stickers on secure objects so that kids can’t tear off the labels off the seats. I can’t wait until they revamp the seats with recliners!!!
same here. I actually went to the bathroom during the super long Hobbs and Shaw trailer which i’ve seen a bajillion times online as well as most trailers before seeing Anna. Movie was well done and crowd behaved very good. Projection was good and the picture was in its proper ratio. The soundtrack was good too yet seeing the subtitles was a little soft. I plan on seeing Toy Story 4 and Annabelle Comes Home next week. I find it easier to pay tickets from a cashier instead of a machine as that process can be complicated if you order via a touchscreen.
went to see Child’s Play yesterday great sound mix good picture but part of the orion logo was a bit cut off due to the usual masking issues that AMC is notorious for. Also the cleaning people came by during part of the preshow. I can’t believe how many previews were shown before a 90 minute movie, including several R rated trailers!!! I highly recommend preordering your food before you head to the concession stand since the lines can get very long. Theater wasn’t clean as they left some stuff in there.
They also played the stuber trailer twice first without the rating and second with the r rating.
Saw men in black in dolby last night and thought it was good. They cropped the screen from the full frame I saw in the trailers on tv..e.g. the Columbia logo was cut off. Sound was good though.
Went to see Aladdin in theater 6 and enjoyed it. The visuals and sound were great. Crowd behaved nicely. This movie will last for awhile until toy story and lion king dominate the theater. Oh, and Spider-Man too!!!
The only bad thing about this theater is that its near a major highway which can bring car noise to the theater such as sirens et al.
Saw Godzilla in 3d in auditorium number 10 and enjoyed the film. No masking issues at all. 3d did pop out in some scenes and the soundtrack was perfect.
Saw brightburn in theater #3 and while i enjoyed the movie with its bombastic soundtrack yesterday the bottom part of the picture was cut off which is typical of AMC these days unless if a movie is being shown in Dolby or Imax. Used my $5 concession coupon and saved money on a large drink. I plan on seeing Godzilla this weekend as well as Ma.
