REVIEWS OF AMC Council Bluffs 17 IN Iowa

Kristy E

Love the lobby. The seats for sure need updated

cosmic presence

I really loved the seating would give 5 stars but the prices are a little much don't come here if you have a big family

T. J. Brumfield

It is the only proper IMAX screen in the area, so I drive across the river from Omaha for all the big movie premieres. The MacGuffins bar is nice and I love the name. It loses a star because I believe this particular chain is cheap or holding out. There are usually posters or give away items you are supposed to receive when seeing the first showing of a blockbuster on an IMAX. I know these items are given away at other locations, and yet sometimes they are not at this location and I never know why. I don't care about the posters and trinkets that much, but it still seems odd that this is the only location that usually fails to give them out.

Cedric Williams

All the workers were very pleasant, the theater was clean but as usual the food is extremely high.

Ashley Paulson

Outside of very high concessions prices, which is the norm these days, the facility conditions are rapidly declining. Seats are torn up, bathroom stalls do not all lock, toilet seats are loose and move under weight. Sad to see this once great theater depreciate.

Thomas Jamrock

Theaters are comfortable and clean. Bathroom is stocked. Early movie is reasonably priced. The price of drinks and food is never good in theaters always overpriced.

Michael ONeil

Our go-to, however the temperature inside the theater these days seems to be incredibly high. Makes it uncomfortable a lot of times any more.

Rick Oliva

Saw Hellboy and ate some of the best popcorn ever, thx

BenJamin Jablonski

Best place to see a movie. Friendly and helpful especially with children and young adults

Jean Cappellano

Good price if you can get the first showing in the morning , not liking the pre reserved seating, cost me $16 for a pop and pop corn....

bill miller

It was a awesome first time and awesome staff and a beautiful place.

Casey Hutchison

The glass between rows is just high enough to block part of the screen when you are reclined. Should have tested it before installing.

Rich West

A great venue and the IMAX 3D is great. The best in the area.

Mitchell Fitzgerald

Amazing place to enjoy fine films, such as Paul Bart Mall Cop, The Butter Cream Gang, and cult classic Dude Where's My Car.

Terry Trusler

Movie was great, kindof loud but it's the movies, and not a lot of people maybe because of how much it cost now just me and my brother spent just over $50 that was a pop and popcorn, but like I said movie was great, can't see doing that again lot for just a show

Kiara Scott

One of the best theaters to visit!

e m o l y

The staff are very nice and the place is pretty clean. Five stars

Allen Rummel

Good local theater with all the new movies. Decent bar with their own mix drinks.

Nicole Roberts

I would love for they to clean a little bit more the glass and the chairs are disgusting. There was trash on the cup holders and the chair I was sitting on wasn't working properly because it has some soda cup stuck on it.

athena Ambriz

bathrooms need work, but employees are nice.

Kathryn Greenwood

Saw lion king. Good prices for seniors and early movies

Paul Willit

This is a good theater. Great IMAX theater as well. They serve alcohol and have a pretty cool dome at the entrance.

C. Moore

Staff was nice. All popcorn fresh. Sits where greatly maintained and comfortable.

Rod Nowels

Always nice. Some seats are starting to get worn but still very comfortable.

Jeremy Skeens

Paid extra for a special showing just to be informed that they didn't download it in time. Now I dont get to see the movie in theaters. Thanks!

Denise Thompson

Time to update inside seats New covers,bathrooms some broken doors,handed,and TP plastic sharp

Dom Yazzie

Very fantastic cinematic experience, and friendly staff.

Luke Henry

Usally a nice theatre. This trip the seats were dirty with wrapers and popcorn. No hurry to get there, the lights do not go out and the movie does not start for 20 minutes after the posted times.

Justin Smith

Very nice movie theater! Power recliners and huge stadium style seating.

Brandon Tague

The movie great for bonding

Sheri Christianson

A friend and I took our combined 5 boys ages 10-14 to a 3D movie and they loved it! We purchased tickets online prior to the show and were able to walk right in, loved the no waiting in line!

tattoos N issues

Would've enjoyed it better if the lady with a screaming baby that lasted the ENTIRE film left or was addressed. Spoke to someone about it and nothing.

Mark Kier

Nice place. Great longer type seating. Good screen positioning and sound system. Booked and paid on line. Zero lines in the later afternoon. We will return.

Michael Wiskerchen

Clean theater. Very friendly staff. Great job AMC!

Chelsey Winheim

Great theater. Everything you would want in a movie theater. Clean, friendly, etc.

Juan Mendoza

Very comfortable couch reclinable.

Joseph Hoagbin

Very nice facility. Very clean. Engaged staff.

Tavi Baker

Definitely glad we bought tickets online prior to getting there. The line was too long. Love the comfort.

Michelle Holmes

Theater was clean and reclining seats are great. Friendly employees and the best popcorn!! Well worth the money!

Manda Pants

Comfy chairs for cuddling. Reserve seating when you buy your tickets online or at reception.

Amy and Billy Case

Always clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Rian Wilson

Love this place! Clean and family friendly. The adventures and memories are endless!

Terrell Smith

For the structure ie... seats seating and the screenplay, sounds 2thumbs up great location, I think a few of us can agree that the other locations need an upgrade. yet the employees can be a judgemental challenge good News you only have to deal with them once a visit for 5 min or less as we are not there for them we are there to make this particular movie the best experience possible!

Jennifer Black

I love this theater. Great selections, service, and comfort! Awesome experience every time.

Elizabeth F

Clean, quiet and quick. The Dolby theater... My goodness does it keep you awake!

Andrew- Lynes

Large, power recliners in every theater make for a very comfortable movie watching experience. If you are not well rested or caffeinated, you will end up paying $12 to take a nap. It has happened to me a few times. I think this is my grandpa's favorite place to sleep.

C j

Over priced concessions but that's nothing new. What is new is the very sad condition of the seating and flooring. Most seats had massive rips and gashes with exposed cushioning. The floors looked like wild dogs had been tearing at them all over the place. A once great theater starting to look like the old Omni center cinema.

Wesley Wood

Nice place, seats comfy and of course fd is pricey like all theatres but gd !!

Raymond Erickson

Easy to find. Just follow directions as given. I already knew how to get here since I live in the Omaha area and am in this area frequently so I know the area well. Been to the theater several times over the 30 years I've live in the area.

Joe Kimbrough

Dolby was the best one I've been to so far. And the main lobby is just the coolest thing ever.

exenreco bell

Could be a little more clean, phenomenal staff though

Timothy Wilson

A fun place to visit but they don't always keep it as clean as it should be. My major gripe is the Dyson hand air dryers. Check out the photos I took of them and tell me they are not gross. Update: We went back today to see Dora. The Dyson hand dryers were mostly clean. I did have two things that nagged at me. 1. The screen had blue dots all over but heavily concentrated in the lower left. We found this very distracting. 2. The lid area next to the pop machines always looks a site. My picture doesn't show all the sticky pop but they always seem such a mess. Hope they can clean things up. We have a lot of fun memories her. My little girl has always called it the echo place.

don carleone

The food receptionist with the blonde hair, older lady with many wrinkles was very unprofessional. She had very little patience for a simple transaction. She also had a nasty attitude towards the end.

Evelyn Beccera

So chill love it 5 star rate

Donna Barton

Happy 18th Syd! Saw Peanutbutter Falcon

Jeff Twitchell

Decent comfortable seating good sound

Steve Klepfer

Nice and clean theaters.

Melissa S

The building and staff are nice. Theaters have the nice recling seats. Unfortunately the seats are mostly torn up/VERY used. A few times I have had the problem where I get to my seat and there is soda all over and the teather is not clean at all. I would say its pretty hit or miss when you go to your seat. Good luck!

Laura Brauer

Descusting, this place has really gone down hill the cleanliness of the place was irritating, mold in the hand air dryers seats and glass stinky and dirty I was very disappointed.

Queen Teel

There was a gas leak and the employees were extremely rude, not trying to give us answers. I asked one employee what we'd receive for the money we spent she told me movies passes and refunds. Another employee said just take the passes there better anyway with the worse attitude. When I finally was able to talk to a manager to let her know I just want a refund because tonight was my only free night to see a movie she said she didn't even freaking know if she could do refunds. Although gas leaks are sometimes inevitable the employees attitudes could have been extremely better and I will follow up to see about my refund tomorrow!

M

Great value but very dirty!

Ron K

Really cool decor, decent screens, food was pretty good.

Phil Hensley

We took the kids to see toy story 4 the place was filthy my seat was all wet and sticky I went and asked for a wet rag and why they didn’t clean the theater they said we do cleaning after hours so they don’t clean in-between movies!! They said they can’t give me a rag I had to use napkins to clean my own seat so I asked for a manager the kid who looked 12 said call tomorrow and talk to them I’m busy so I will go to Omaha from now on this place is a joke and dirty it was a total waste of 80.00 wish I could give a negative 5 star I recommend u go to Omaha much cleaner and much nicer people

Blake Swanson

Amazing food and drinks plus the seats are very comfortable

The X-Gamer

I love to watch movies personally and AMC offers a membership called stubs as list through the app. 3 movie reservations(only the account holder) a week, discount at consesions and bar for those who drink, as well as being able to skip the line. Just for 20 dollars a month. If you want it for family they are working on bringing a family thg plan. Oh and I can't forget the iconic echo dome as when you stand under the domed portion of the ceiling you will have as massive echo.

Summoner Payton

Unless its super busy, this place is clean and tidy. For a movie theater I think they are slightly pricy. When you go inside here, look up and say something.

Jessica Smith

Can’t really give it a 1. They carded me for a Rated R movie. I’m 26.

Gator Man

Love amc..loved it better when it was star cinema

EndsWithCyanide

Almost always a great time and when it's not it isn't because of the service. Some of the people who come here aren't the most respectful

Shawn Putnam

Great place to go to the movies

Sarah Brumfield

Well worth the drive from Omaha, this AMC offers the best IMAX experience in town. The newer Dolby theater is incredible.

Kristine Docken

Love this theater! Fair prices and good seats. Have to have the easy chairs ❤

Cyrille Bernard

Easy access, easy parking, big chairs, big screens

Kathy Konopik

Awesome theatre. Got a free birthday Stubbs member large popcorn, movie theatre seats were recliners so it made the movie much more comfortable and enjoyable.. Theatre was clean as were the restrooms. Went on a Saturday to COUNCIL BLUFFS amc 17...was a great show.Angel has Fallen...had a great time and I went alone!!

stevo shaffer

I've gone here a few times now and I really enjoy seeing movies here. The theater's staff is great and helpful.

K Plummer

Comfiest seats around. Sometimes a little dirty and long lines on weekends. They clearly need extra staff during those times.

GeORge Watson

Very beautiful design and atmosphere. Really nice staff as well. We were also fortunate to get free tickets and concessions due to sound issues. They were fixed right away and we received the tickets so that was a bonus. We will be back to this location

tino lopez

Expensive treats like all theatres but good experience

Tracy Coleman

Usually great experience. Today there were lots of kids that the parents haven't taught public movie manners to. And why would you let your kids run up and down the aisle in those darn light up shoes!? Seriously!

Eugene Taylor

Really like their imax cinema. Huge screen and good sound system. Their other theater rooms though aren't quite as nice.

Michael Ringstad

I only go to one theater and that is AMC17, Council Bluffs. The place is always clean and staff very professional. Recently, (2,9,2019), I went to see Cold Pursuit and was seated in F8 in theater 11. I was very disappointed because the glass at top of railing was so filthy you could hardly see part of the screen when reclined. I hope this information gets to staff/manager so this can be addressed soon.

cheri boettger

Need to have more than two lines open for the concession stands. Opening weekends for big time movies and have to wait in long lines fue to only having two lines open. Shouldn't have to get to a movie an hour before showtimes just to get in line to get popcorn.

Makaila Reilly

Really nice movie theater. Postives: great concessions, comfortable reclining chairs, typically nice staff. Negatives: apparently they have never heard of windex because there are always hand prints and smudges on the glass right in front of my view which is distracting, bathrooms get pretty gross towards the end of the night (they don't clean during the day), and very under staffed.

Matt Michels

They make sure that going to the movies is an experience. They are constantly updating and renovating to keep things fresh and the latest technologies. It's worth getting off the couch and into their comfy recliners.

Jennifer C

I had a great time here. The service at the bar was great and the sitting inside is so confortable. Def recommended!

Valemary Kox

The place is always good, if I had to rate movies based on the people around me however it would be zero, movie talkers are the worst bit you can not control this. I really do lole this theater ot is kept clean.

Jay Brooks

Best seats in the area. Great atmosphere

John Grier

Amazing! It had a full bar. Very nice place

Jim Ellison

It was very clean People their was kind It is a good movie

Marsha Gentry

Great atmosphere, pleasant staff, fun time.

OTR Trucker

Very nice theater. Prices are pretty typical of theaters of this caliber. They seats were very comfortable stuffed chairs with push button adjustments.

Kaleigh

Broken chairs and hot smelly theatres. Very expensive.

Milton Lay

The the theater was great. Except for a bunch of young ignorant people way in the back talking moving around through the whole movie. They made it very uncomfortable.

Chris Pope

Love the recliners and being able to reserve my seat. I can skip the previews and still know I'll get to sit where I want. Much better than watching a movie at home!

Caleb Stout

Here's a great theater. Self-surved butter and electric recliners. The two most important things when looking for an amazing theater!

vela brown

Clean environment great staff! I will make sure to come again!!

Bethany Rogers

Always a joy to go here and I go about 2 to 3 times a week. Some of the armrests are broken in just about every theater but that is a small price to pay for being on the A-list and watching movies so cheap.

Mary Way

One of our seats were broken. D row 6 th seat.

Lee R

I don't think I've seen a clean drink station here yet. Nice place to watch movies though.

O G

Purchased my tickets through the Tickets At Work perk program (Postmates, Paypal, etc.) because they offer half price tickets. This evening I was taking my girlfriend and her two kids to Aladdin. We arrived at the movie theater about 5 minutes before the scheduled showing. A young man and a woman, whom I believe was the manager, gave me the run around for at least 15 minutes as they tried to get me to repurchase my tickets at full price. Finally, I found out exactly what to do on my end and what they needed to do on their end for the tickets I purchased online to work. Turns out if they had been listening to me from the get go and just scanned the barcode I showed them, there wouldn't have been a problem! So, for all the grief I received, I definitely do NOT recommend this AMC. Try the one on 144th and Center located next Oakview Mall or one of the several Marcus Theaters in town.

Nancy Smith

Seen Overcomer was a great movie!

Lori White

Love the recliners. We saw Muel with Clint Eastwooyy

Gabriel Morris

It was ok but seeing Keanu on the big screen automatically gave it one more star

Carrie Hansel

The ceiling when you walk in is magnificent

Vicki Thompson

One of the chairs won't work. $70.00 for 5 tickets and $75.00 for 5 small pops and 5 small popcorns. We can't afford doing this more than once a year. WOW

Malinda Davis

Always fun to go to the movies!

Thomas O'Brien

Great theater. Very organized and clean.

amanda meisinger

Good place to go see a movie. A little cheaper than Omaha. Comfortable seats and nice clean facilities.

jennie mcintyre

Love that they employee persons with Special needs. Things are usually relatively clean staff are usually very helpful and nice. They offer great selections of movies. The parking lot needs some work. It’s located near the enter state and there are several places to eat nearby

Coleen Robinson

It was a great date for me and my hubby. Had the whole theater to ourselves so I was able to sing along with the songs.

Marcus Gomez

Star Cinema is always fun to come to. The dome in the entry way is always hilarious to have a laugh in!

Matt Jergens

Very nice theater. Seating was very comfortable. Sound system sounded great. Ticket price is reasonable but the concession stand will suck your wallet dry.

Rex Rex

Nice place to be, good seating position but need more items on their menu

Shane Mccreary

Expensive. Especially if you take kids and want something to snack on.

Dorothy Rodriguez

Bathrooms was really dirty, and cashier was rude but the other staff was awesome,

kristal waters

Great movie experience!!! The chairs are the ticket, they are recliners. There is stadium seating so no one is blocking your view of the screen. You can just sit back put your feet up and enjoy the movie.

Andrea Redmon

Friendly workers, great food, great movie! But the one downfall is the screen was terrible, with blue spots all over, a quarter of the bottom, so you miss some of the picture, in theatre 2. It's very unfortunate.

shirley mcclanahan

My great granddaughter, first time of going to a moving theater! She wasn't to bad! Great time with the family!

Joseph Fernandez

Awesome clean place. Wide screen good sound

Jake Hammel

The best AMC in the metro area.

patrick mcpeck

I had a great experience at this movie theaters imax sound was incredible

Randy Jones

I like this theater. Mostly clean, IMAX is my favorite, although the other theaters are very good as well. The popcorn (buttered or not),is usually warm , the soda is self fill,the mixed drinks are large,and the other food is good too. They try hard to keep the place clean and are responsive when there is an issue.

Logan Haley

Wow! The main building really takes your breath away from the moment you walk in. Just came to see a movie after a day in Omaha and was flabbergasted by quality and beauty. I will say there was long lines for snacks with very few other guests there on Monday.

MOUNTAIN TOP CAPITOL

Beautiful theater with comfortable seating

Miranda Miller

Clean facility. Dolby movie was too loud. Staff could be a little more attentive. The seats are amazing!!!

Lucy McNabb

Love $5 Tuesdays!!

jason rush

Concessions, audio/visual, and seat comfort all rather good but environmental control settings allowed humidity to make things uncomfortable in the upper seats. Otherwise, an overall pleasant movie viewing experience!

Tim Strong

Great theater. Never had an issue here. Some of the seats are getting a little worn with rips and tears though..

Angela Neylon

Love the seats! Super cozy recliners!

janet anderson

This is a great theater. Reclining seats, put your own butter on the popcorn and coke icee's my favorite

Nikki Marquez

Love the theatre but could be more updated and better kept for the price you pay to get in

Rob Chapman

Good movie experience. Great sound and comfortable seats although the back of my seat pretty worn out.

T. O.

This is a very clean facility. The staff here is very courteous and friendly. The movies are great choices to show. The reclining seats are a great touch. The prices are a little pricey but that's not abnormal for a movie theater these days. I like that the seats are reserved. That way you don't have to get there super early and fight for a seat or seats. Going here is always a great experience for my family.

Cassie Divis

Good place, seats are pretty tore up in some theaters. Make sure plan to spend a good amount on snacks. Large drink and a large popcorn is 22 dollar and some change. Customer service is good.

Jerrod Frideres

If you find any faults with the movie theater itself you need to have your head examined. Staff sometimes you can't control. $5 day is awesome also.

Karolina Almaguer

I was there on Tuesday at 8.40 the place was closed because one of the hours changed without notice and it has to be one 15 minutes before the last show that starts at 8.30 is worse than a doctor's appointment

ken smith

We go here a lot.... need I say more!

Taren Hollister

Nice theater. Great reclining seats. Good and helpful service staff.

Bruce Chapin

Typical theater with reclining chairs. Stubs rewards offered at various levels. We have the premier level which pays for itself.

James Elwell

Watch movie called captain marvel. It good but it was warmer in that room. Room #7

Santana Gonzales

Great experience and great value.

Debanjana Chatterjee

We watched Annabelle at the night show here. It was not crowded and the entrance lobby is beautiful. The seats were comfortable and cozy but they do not have the temperature control like AMC Oakview. We enjoyed the movie but only thing that bugs me is there is glass guard railing in front of the seats of the back rows which doesn’t provide you a smooth view to watch the whole screen while leaning back. I would recommend not to book the last two rows in this theatre.

SHAVON B.

As always, it's pricy. But the food options are decent and it's always clean.

R Burford

The regular theaters are important too. Be sure to maintenance them as well. The seats are getting very cracked and worn. The wall in theater 1 is coming apart. Please invest so people keep coming and we keep our nice theater open.

john lucky

Nice place but way over priced

Julia Galloway

Almost 5 stars if the snack counter computer hadn't gone out. We were waiting forever for hotdogs. The seats are my favorite here.

Jacob Nelson

Probably the nicest thing council bluffs has.

Pam Kinney

This movie theater was very nice.

David Tollefson

A good place for movies but one bad experience last night. Theater 8 was without A/C I attended an 8:15pm show. I was sweating throughout the movie. It was uncomfortable. But this won't stop me from returning to see another movie.

Roger McDaniel

Great seating, so comfortable and relaxing!

Jessie Tucker

We enjoyed shopping at this store. They had reasonably priced clothes and other items also. I recommend shopping here.

Nicki Boles

Could always be a little cheaper, but well taken care of, friendly staff

Avery Franzen

Great movie theatre. The whole place is very clean and orderly. The lobby has a beautiful mural painted on the ceiling which is quite unique. We saw two films here. One in Dolby Cinema and one at a regular screen. The Dolby Cinema experience was incredible. We felt like we were part of the action and it made the movie so great. The normal screen was also enjoyable due to the nice reclining seats that they had. All the seats we had were clean as were the bathrooms.

Tonya Burns

The recliners are my favorite!! Love reserved seating. Only thing to improve on is the temperature....turn up the heat so we don't have to bring blankets.

Stephanie Joneson

Nice place but starting to show it's age.

Jeanne Fry

Always go on the weekend in the morning seats are always available

Crunk T.V.

It was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed it.

David Rubis

The cleanliness of this establishment leaves a lot to be desired. The concessions stand is often a sticky, cluttered mess despite relatively few patrons at any given time. The movie theaters by contrast are generally clean and cared for. I have never had an issue with video or sound quality. They have the red, reclining seats in all theaters but the IMAX.
