Review from Bruce K.
I came here to watch the second Sherlock Holmes. I have been a long time goer to this movie theater and this is the first review I'm writing of this place. As years of wear and tear, it's starting to look a little more aged. Inside it's moderately clean the bathrooms aren't bad as usual. They did however a couple years ago upgrade some of the theaters to an IMAX theater (even though it isn't as big as some other cities).
And another thing I don't understand is this 3D rave. I'm not a big fan of it, but it seems like a lot of people are. This AMC has a lot of teenagers, especially because it's a mall and plus it's has just been a popular place to go to hang out. The parking lots are better than most, but still could be better when movies are let out and people are driving crazy trying to get out.
Overall, this theater isn't bad. Don't expect extravagance though. -
Review from Trey S.
As the closest movie theater to my residence, I have made this particular AMC my theater of choice. They often have movies and show times that other theaters in and around Charlotte simply do not offer. Maybe because of the 24 available screens, they are able to show and keep more movies in the theater, for longer periods of time.
My standard game-plan is to pick a movie that has been out a few weeks and catch it on a weekend matinee here at AMC Concord Mills. As others have stated, you generally find the theater mostly empty and void of distractions such as teenagers, kids, and couples intent on public displays of affection in the late mornings and early afternoons.
I'm a fan of the automated kiosk in which you can purchase ticks on your own without having to go to the window. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of this, as its usually a quicker option as opposed to waiting in line.
The concessions are standard but never below par. The Cherry Coke is usually crisp and the popcorn is steadily popped throughout the day. I also like the fact that they allow you to butter your own popcorn as you like at the butter and salt station. The only down side is that the concession prices are EXTREMELY overpriced and they are always trying to get you to upgrade or spend more money on some gut and wallet-bursting deal.
All in all this is the best movie theater in the area, especially when compared to Starlight or Northlake's theater. -

Saw The Hunger Games. The theater was a bit warm and the screen a but worn. Otherwise, it was fine.

Review from Chris M.

I went to see American Reunion here. Overall it was a pretty good experience. The seats are comfortable. It was fairly clean. My biggest gripe is that the movie started about 25 minutes after it was scheduled. Has it been that long? Is that the norm nowadays? Price was ok at 7.50 each, but I still think I prefer grabbing a redbox for a buck fifty.

I love this theater, it's very convenient and usually very clean. Prices have increased but matinee showings are still $5!

Review from Angie P.
I like the AMC brand, so typically I will seek out this line of theatres.
Pluses: Kiosk ticketing. Box office line too long? No problem, use the kiosks out front. Stadium seating. Sound in the theatre. Plenty of theaters means more movies playing. Concession stand staff are friendly & quick.
Theatre & concession stand are kept neat & tidy.
Cons: Parking. You will have to park far away and walk. Prices at the concession stand are insane. Prices for movies, insane as well. -
Review from Brian K.
I liked the kiosk ticketing. You can tell the theaters are getting used pretty hard but it is still a pleasant place to see a flick. I would expect an update from them in the next couple years considering how many people in the Concord area frequent this movie theater. Prices for refreshments could be lower...

Review from Andrew W.

This theater has more showtimes and screens than any that I know of in Charlotte. It's a chain theater, so don't let the sullen employees, obscene drink and snack prices, and talk-y crowds.
There are usually a lot of showings of the same films, rather than using all the screens to show a larger variety of titles. But it's great if you can't make the 11:01 showing of Harry Potter but don't want to wait until the 11:04 show. -

Edited to add: After publishing this review, I received a call from Brian, the GM. He profusely apologized and made everything right. Thanks for the follow up!
It's been awhile since I attended a showing at Concord Mills: my last experience with them was tainted by poor security and roaming mobs of teenagers.
They were one of the few theaters showing "The Muppets" at midnight the night prior to opening, so some friends and I headed over.
The ticket seller was bright, happy and helpful - excellent job, Melissa! Unfortunately she turned out to be the last smiling face we saw that evening. The boys at concession were more interested in flirting with some female customers than waiting on those of us wanting to make a purchase, so we didn't. We waited at the counter for five minutes without being noticed.
The auditorium had not been cleaned from the previous showing, and there was gum smeared on the backs of the seats in front of us.
The presentation of the movie was superb - focus, sound, everything done well ... until about 3/4 of the way through when the house lights suddenly came up. After a bit I went into the lobby to let someone know, but there were no employees in evidence. After a few minutes of searching, I went back so as to not miss the end.
Just as the credits started rolling (along with the final song and action still taking place) the projector cut off and the 'public service' audio clicked on. Everyone in the theater looked at each other for a bit and finally got our things together to leave. It felt a bit abrupt.
I decided to speak with a manger to air my displeasure, so we went in search of someone in charge. The only employees we found were the night janitor, who didn't seem to speak any English. I finally made him understand and about 10 minutes later he found the manager on duty: Donna.
When I told Donna what had happened she told me that everything was automated and there was no one minding the projectors or the theaters. There was nothing she could do. I challenged this and she then made a call to someone upstairs. (Lindsey?) Donna then went on to tell me that there were 22 movies running and they couldn't be expected to monitor them all. I asked how many were running during the midnight showings and she said "7". Then she told me that the projectionist was busy moving prints around and was to busy to keep an eye on the movies running. We were dismissed without apology.
This is a fairly decent theater, and they do run some hard to find exclusives. It's a shame a great night was ruined by dismal customer service. -
Review from Tim B.
For the most part....I have enjoyed my movie going experiences at Concord Mills AMC. Yes...there is a "however". Will get to that after the good stuff! I have never had a better IMAX experience outside of a true IMAX theater....until seeing 'MI - Ghost' earlier this year. It was simply amazing. The sound quality was absolutely amazing. The screen seems to be 25% larger than normal screens. The auditorium was very large! The concessions are always good and fresh...and cost as much as your typical theater. Challenges....depending on when you go....is parking......but that is how C-Mills is during most prime shopping hours. The other challenge....and this happens in almost every "non-Regal" theater I have gone to...and that is folks with their feet on the chairs. Can you believe that folks come into a theater and actually immediately put their feet where people have to rest their heads. One of these days.....the attendants will make an announcement before the show.......KEEP your feet down!!! Or get out!

Review from Kuanyu C.
This AMC location is right on the end of Concord Mills Mall. They have automated box office in front of the ticket counter, if you have one of those AMC cards you can get your tickets without waiting in line most of the time.
The theater is pretty neat and clean; the few times that I have been inside I never had the sticky shoes feeling. They also have quite a few number of theaters so it can actually accommodate popular new releases. Drinks and popcorn and snacks are bit overpriced, but isn't that the same with any other theater?
Overall, not a bad experience at all every time I have been.Listed in: Show and Yelp

Review from Michelle B.

I love AMC Concord Mills on weekdays when I am off! The crowds are minimal (in the mall as well) and the movie selections are varied. Times here are usually more frequent than other theaters. The location sis great because who doesn't want to shop before and after the movie!

Review from Megan P.

This AMC location isn't really a stand-out for me but it's decent. We usually end up here when we have plans for some gaming at Dave and Buster's or if we want to grab some Cold Stone ice cream. The theater is pretty large and mostly clean. The seats have plenty of cushion but no recline at all. The cup holders barely fit a large drink and I'm always afraid I'm going to knock the drink on the floor. I think a lot of theaters have this problem though. The picture and sound quality are good and they also have an imax theater.
Overall this is a solid theater and we will continue to come back for more. -
Review from John H.
Been to many a movie here. I wish it was closer, but it's worth the trip. Since I'm turning into an old person, I like watching movies during the day and only paying $5 on weekday/nights and then $5 before 4pm on Friday, Saturdays, and Sundays.
They keep this theater clean and it's easy to go shopping at Concord Mills after a long movie session where you need to stretch your legs.
There are a couple of times where I've been here on premier nights, which is cool because of the crowds, but I would much rather wait for the middle of the week when I have the option of lifting up all the arms and laying across a row. Don't get me wrong, it really just depends on who sits next to you in a crowded theater: the person with the screaming baby, the person texting away, the person answering phone calls!, or the person chatting away with a friend, or the person that has to make a comment about everything in the movie like we aren't watching the same thing. Wow- I do sound old! I just need to go home and tell the kids to get out of my yard! -
Review from Chad E.
Though I don't often go to Concord Mills for shopping, I do catch a movie at the theater now and again. It used to be on Saturday mornings, because they had a $4 show before noon. Now it's still on Saturday morning, but it's gone up to $5. Though this stinks, the times have expanded, and you can catch a show for $5 more often during the week.
The good news is that most of the auditoriums have stadium seating, and though only a couple have really good sound, at least the seats are comfortable in all of them. I can't speak to the snack bars, because they are even more overpriced than the movies have become - but they sure look nice.
I also wish that the self-service machines out front would work more often. But usually in the mornings the lines aren't bad, so that's not as big a deal as it would be at night.Listed in: 2008-07, It's Khan-cord... Not Con-kurd

Review from Laura G.
Charlotte, NC
Visited this theater for the first time yesterday. I liked the "corral" method of queue for ticket sales, as then you don't get stuck in the slowest line, and it is harder for people to cut in line than when you have various windows open, and a mass of people in front, more or less in line. Once we purchased our tickets, the line was very long to get past the ticket scanners, as they only had one person working there. This seemed like a bad choice for the day after Christmas, as the place was packed.
The concession prices were outrageous! 2 drink, 1 popcorn combo (not a huge popcorn either, just a bag) was $17.00. Popcorn and sodas are pretty much the cheapest possible concessions to offer, so this really felt predatory. At least we weren't in line there for TOO long.
The theater itself was very comfortable, sound was good, theater was clean, and the restroom was reasonable. In all, I will visit this theater again, but think twice about how badly I really need those concessions. -
Review from Rhonda W.
Charlotte, NC
This theater has super cheap prices during the week. I've never had to wait in line for a ticket. My only problem, which isn't a big deal because there are no lines, is that their automated ticket machines don't give out tickets if you're 10 to 15 minutes late. I don't like sitting through the previews, so I usually wander in a few minutes before the actual movie starts.
A note to fellow AMC Concord visitors (based on my last visit):
Please be quiet during the movie. Making crying baby noises and loudly mocking the show won't alter the fact that you're a group of young men that paid $10 each to see a movie mainly about three adorable orphan girls. No amount of tattoos, baggy clothing and yelling at friends from ten feet away will make us believe you're total gangsters.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, the atsmophere of the theatre and the smell of popcorn. You could have pooled that $50 and done something YOU enjoyed. -
Review from Rebekah P.
Charlotte, NC
This place gets my four stars mainly for being the one of the only places to catch limited release movies. The smaller theaters can't or won't take a risk showing movies that mainstream audiences don't know about.
I totally found out about this quirk by accident when my friends and I happened upon a poster for a movie we, like most people, hadn't heard about. We found out that it was a two day limited release and would only be playing at the Concord Mills theater. Long story short, I found my new favorite actor and book series (it was Death Note, for those who wanted to know).
You really have to look for these releases though, because they have a nasty habit of not advertising them. Apparently movie execs don't put a lot of faith in foreign movies, even though most of them have a huge cult following before they even come over. So keep your eyes peeled and your mind open, plus it is a very nice theater.
