    Saw "Arthur Christmas" w/ the family today (great animation, funny, and very entertaining!).  Really liked the space of the room: multi-tiered, nice leg room, movable arm rests.  

    A few tips:

    1. For those who like to order fountain drinks, the concession stands offer free refills when you purchase large-sized cups.

    2. All shows before 3:55p are $5 per child and $7.50 for adults and seniors.

    3. Just for the holidays, every $25 gift card purchase earns you a $5 gift card reward.

    This time the projected image was about a foot and a half to the right so some of the movie was on the curtain. A little distracting.

    Also, if a fat guy who has not eaten all day passes on popcorn and a drink, then your concessions may be too expensive.

    This place's saving grace is that it is convenient.

    Thoroughly disgusted with my trip to Northlake AMC tonight. First off let me say that Northlake in the past has been fine. I recommend weekday or week night visits but weekend nights are ridiculous. I paid $10 for a rated R movie I didn't even get to enjoy because of the number of rude UNDERAGE teenagers in the theatre. They talked, texted, screamed, and cussed through the whole movie.
    The entire theatre experience was rather ghetto. The staff, and kids were all ghetto tonight. I complained and no one came to investigate. I will not be going back to Northlake on a weekend night. I recommend skipping Northlake and heading north to Birkdale or south to the Epicentre. Maybe then you will hear less "baby daddy" talk and more of the movie you paid for!

    I wish they can pick this theater up and move it next door to my house!  The newness, the comfy seating, and clean surroundings make this an ideal place to watch a movie.  The mall itself is not too shabby either so it makes for a great place to kill time when waiting for a showtime.

    I tend to stay away from movie concessions anywhere I go since it's their main source of revenue and they push all these ridiculous combos for you to buy.  Guess that's the downside for working in a movie theater for the summers in high school, it's good to know the inside smack sometimes.  I was totally kicked out of concessions when I refused to increase my # of combo sales - I think I was a much better usher than salesman.

    I do like the fact that AMC theaters offer ICEEs and self serve butter stations.  I know, I know, heart attack situation - whats not to love about being stagnant for 2-3 hours and filling yourself with over processed products that mostly come from a bag?  I think the worse product in a bag was the nacho cheese.... I just remember replacing the bags in the dispensers and thinking about the cheese going into people's bodies...gag reflex every time.

    Went there for a freebie -- it seemed a bit out of the way, but it was/is a nice theater. Very clean and the seats were comfy.

    Will go back to check it out on a regular screening.

    A group of us went to see the Hangover, and when we sat down, it was warm, we all thought that it would cool down... Needless to say, it was disgustingly hot in the theater the entire movie!! After we sat and sweat, we went to guest services to find out why...  The girl notified us that the air conditioner was broken and they were waiting on a part!!! Ok.. Other then them knowing that we were going to
    be in a full movie theater, opening weekend of a great movie, we sat and sweat the entire 2 hours ..  Probably Wont be returning to this location!!! Oh The seats are comfortable!!

    I recently visit this AMC for a dinner & movie date and we really enjoyed our time here. We bought the tickets from the computer (ATM lol) outside and walked right in compare to other folks who were waiting in line outside in this cold weather to get their tickets.

    We walked right in. The guy handed us the 3D glass and we were running late so we skipped on the popcorn/drinks & headed to our theater. There were only hand full of people in the whole theater so I was like YES! Perfect for date night. It was a great movie, picture and sound quality was awesome!

    I sure do hope that they improve their seats like other theaters around the world. I know they started to build new theaters in India where the seats are like our reclining sofa. I would think $28 for two tickets is a ripoff unless they have really good seats.

    All in all, it was good experience!

    AMC Northlake is a big multiplex that is good for seeing less big movies. Or at least thats the feeling my rarely-seen-at-the-movies self got.

    The theaters are realtively small, but the seats are plenty comfortable. For some reason they had all the electronic signs above the theater doors that are supposed to tell you what movies is playing covered. This is no huge deal since your stub has the theater number but it really just stuck me as odd. The theater doesn't actually connect to the mall on the inside and there is no space inside before you need to present your ticket, so if its cold or wet out don't show up early to wait for your friends. You'll be standing outside.

    The ticket prices are very reasonable, on a Saturday afternoon I shelled out $7.50 when I was expecting to owe at least 10 bucks. Concessions are you standard movie theater level of ridiculous. I didn't actually believe anyone bought movie nachos, but my friend did, and when she added a large drink she had to fork over $12.

    If I was interested in going to a show i thought might sell out, I would probably head elsewere, but for a cheesy movie staring Cher on a Saturday afternoon it was a solid moviegoing experience.

    When my wife and I go out to see a movie, this is the theater we always go to. Still being fairly new, its clean and the seats are very comfy. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. $5 tickets prices for matinees and a short drive from our house makes it a winner. We go to the earliest showing and then go out for lunch rather than paying for the high dollar concessions.
    Also we have never had any trouble with people talking during a movie or cell phones going off at this theater. We used to go to Birkdale, but their prices have gone up and with this theater just as close to our house, its the better deal.

    Granted Northlake is close to our house but I am very pleased with the rotation of movies and the cleanliness and curtious attendants at this theater!  Parking is good and if you get there early you can grab a bite at the mall ...

    This place is great. Conveniently located off of 485 and 77. i mean, really it's just another movie theater, but it a little nicer than some theaters are.  
    The best thing about AMC is their price. How can you beat $5 movies for weekdays and matinees?? Combine that with their Moviewatcher card and they're practically paying you to go. i believe they still give free small popcorn on Wednesday and with every five tickets purchased you get something free (drink, popcorn, night at the movies).  
    Since moving to Charlotte and with the close proximity of several AMCs, our rate of movie-going is back to where it should be.

    This AMC is one of the newest theaters in Charlotte and is in great shape. The seats, especially, are improved from older theaters. I have always found it to be very clean, despite being one of the busiest in the area. And it has tons of screens, so it is easy to get the movie you want at a convenient time.

    But the concessions are outrageous. You have already paid $10+ for a ticket, and could easily spend another $12 on popcorn+drink. That is pretty steep, considering that the popcorn costs about 15 cents to make. It is bad enough that I won't buy anything at the theater anymore, and surprisingly I don't miss it.

    The good: new-feeling, clean, nice movie theater. Basically what you'd expect from an AMC theater.
    The bad: broken electronic ticket kiosks, having to buy your tickets outside after waiting in a long line, and the ridiculous traffic jam up that resulted from the perimeter-style road around the mall/theater complex having very few exits.

    AMC Theatres have always been my favorite theaters.  They're the cleanest, offer the best rewards program, and lately have been offering some fantastic pricing deals during off-peak hours.  This newest AMC at Northlake Mall in Charlotte (although a couple years old now) is still the best.  It's a little drive if you live in South Charlotte -- or anywhere outside the Huntersville area for that matter -- but it can be worth it.   Plus, it's only one of about 3 theaters in the Charlotte area that can offer movies in 3-D when they come out.  And, folks, there is a line-up of 3-D movies coming out in the next couple of years.  

    Last weekend, we went late on a Sunday morning to see Disney's "Bolt" in 3-D.  Tickets were just $5 each with an additional $2 for the luxury of 3-D, but it was worth the extra cost for the visual effects and it was still cheaper than if we went to see a movie on a regular night for about $9-$10.  

    After buying your ticket outdoors, you enter into a large lobby area.  Right away, you can tell that it's a nice complex.  It's clean and well-maintained.  Our theater was a very large one, probably their only one that can accommodate 3-D showings.  It felt very spacious even with a crowd.  And, again, I emphasize the clean part.  No sticky floors, no holes in the seats, etc.  The 3-D experience of "Bolt" was fantastic, both in picture and sound.  There was not a complaint in the house.

    So expensive, but I guess that's all theaters these days. I love that you can butter your own popcorn and that the bathrooms are always clean.

    While the Concord Mills theater is starting to show its age just a bit, this new location is pretty sweet.  You'll still find that a few of the auditoriums are a bit small, but you also may get to see digital 3-D (saw the new Journey to the Center of the Earth) there, and the sound overall is better.

    Also, the overall feel of the place is nicer - it's just newer, and feels like everything is just a bit newer.  Of course, the location is a bit more inconvenient, and you only get your choice of 14 movies vs 24 when you're talking Concord Mills (or 22 when you look at Carolina Pavilion), but 14 is usually enough that you can find something to enjoy.

    AMC Theaters Northlake is a great place to see a movie esp. with the kids.  We visited this time on a weekday afternoon with minimal crowds - yippee!  We saw the movie Zookeeper which was a nice family movie and I don't recall hearing any curse words!  To top that off Tuesdays before 6 pm is only $5.00 - what a way to save a few bucks.  How-e-ver, the snack bar will give you a big hit to the wallet with two kids, ouch!

    Really nice theater w/clean facilities but the concessions are ridiculously overpriced ($4.50 for $2.00 box of Jr. Mints!!!). Being adjacent to so many eateries, you'd think they'd get on the bandwagon w/a number of other theaters and allow food from neighboring establishments. Aside from that gripe, we found the staff to be friendly and the seats comfy. We will be back.

    Film selection here is not quite as good as at Concord Mills, but the theaters offer a smaller crowd, clean theaters, and most of the big hits.  It's a chain theater, so not really anything else of note.  Average size screens, average size seats, typically horrendous prices.

    I don't really know why I like this place so much, I just do.  It's small enough so it doesn't feel overwhelming, but big enough to give the viewer plenty to choose from.  The whole place, from the concession counter, to the theaters themselves being smaller than most multi-plexes, just makes the overall experience better.  Plus the video and sound equipment are newer, so of course it's going to look and sound better.
