Great theater!

by NicoleG

Great theater! Great parking - convenient, but a tad expensive. Also, the gym I used to belong to, I believe, is at the same building. I say used to, because I've given up on that.

Now I eat hot buttered popcorn at the theater. Extra salt and butter please!

• Pros: Great theater!

The theater itself and the restrooms are clean

by desireemccoy

Lots of reviews for this cinema! I love AMC Van Ness 14 on Van Ness! They do have blockbuster movies, on lots of screens. They sometimes have independent movies, international movies in Spanish, French and many other languages too.

The theater itself and the restrooms are clean. They have hand dryers in the restrooms it's good for the environment and the trees.

• Pros: The theater itself and the restrooms are clean

Very comfortable theater with lots of leg room and reclining seats with a high back rest. Many screens for multiple shows makes it very convenient.

AMC 1000 Van Ness, a great place to go with kids

by tashasha01

This is such a fun movie theater. Young children love the escalators, and the wide variety of movies shown there. It's very accessible by public transportation which is great because parking can be a hassle at this theater--the parking lot fills up quickly on the weekends. Lots of food options on Van Ness.

The quintessential multiplex with 14 screens from which to choose a current movie.

In Short
An unhelpful staff and a crowd that seems more interested in cell-phone conversations than sitting through a movie can be annoying. However, all of the theaters have been designed with stadium seating so that everyone can easily see the screen. The theaters also feature love seat-style seating with arm rests that can be moved to make room for moviegoers intent on cuddling.

Favorite theater in SF

by chains007

This is my favorite theater in SF - great location and great building. It's amazing that they can fit so many theaters in this building since it looks so small from the outside. Good stadium seating and sound system. Parking is underground and very tight - take a while to exit after a big crowd.

My favorite!

by sanfrangrrl

This is my favorite theatre in the city! The rocking love seats, the leg room, the huge screens and the sound system! LOVE IT! It's also the only theatre I know that allows outside food, so I can bring in my own bag of chips and soda. The only problem is that everyone else seems to love this place too because lines get really long, so if you plan to catch a flick here, arrive early. Also, I take public transportation because parking is really bad here unless you don't mind paying $6+ for garage parking.

• Pros: comfy seats, legroom, outside food permitd
• Cons: , long lines

Like It!

by bennytai

We always enjoy watching a movie here. The problem is that the lines always seem to be long. We have found a solution recently by going to the restaurant in the lobby first. While enjoying some pre-movie snacks there, we asked the waitress if she could help get the tickets for us. To our surprise, she said 'yes" cheerfully and we got the tickets before finishing up the snacks! What a great way to start the evening with my girl friend.

My thoughts of AMC 1000

by hkekahi

A lot of residents of the Bay Area say that AMC 1000 is......How should I say, make you experience coming here a living nightmare. I usually try to come here on matinee weekdays are the best. Weekends are horrible. Crowds can be the worst. When is AMC gonna stop w/ the showing of commercials? But the HUGE downside of AMC is their parking set up. The machines that they have set up sometimes doesnt work. And when it does, its very picky on accepting dollar bills you are trying to insert.

• Pros: stadium seating, movie selections, weekday matinees
• Cons: crowds, teenagers

Watch Movie Free

by jackieclone

I love watching movies and I am delighted to discover that I can get a free movie voucher for any AMC movie just by having a reasonably priced dinner in the lobby. Too bad they don't advertise this deal more. I now watch a movie every week.

• Pros: Free Movie
