OUTDATED, UNCOMFORTABLE, AND WORN-OUT

October 16, 2026

We live in Hickory and we usually go to the small movie theatre downtown. It’s extremely clean, staff is friendly, top movies, very comfortable seats. We decided to go to the AMC Hickory last week to see a movie that we missed at the downtown theatre. We hadn’t been there in a while. What a disappointment. It is beyond needing a refurbishment. Worn out seats, many torn or not working altogether. The concession stand seemed to be a confused mess. There were probably eight employees on but only two registers set up. Do yourself a favor and hit the downtown theatre next time you want to see a movie.

Just felt dirty from the time we entered.

July 27, 2023

Bathrooms were disgusting near theatre #2. Sound level was entirely too high. 20 minutes of previews. We went to an 11:15 am showing.

The line is ridiculous

January 07, 2023

Why do you offer people to buy tickets online just for them to wait in a long line . All we needed was someone to scan our tickets that were already paid for. Your lines are ridiculous. You shouldn't have to wait in the same line people are purchasing food and drinks. Have at least two lines . One for tickets and one for food if you can't afford to pay a usher. Because you didn't have ushers theater was nasty. Bathroom nasty. Glad I live near Mooresville because I will just go there for now on when I want to go to the movies. They have it together there. The only good thing is the woman that finally scanned our ticket was very nice. I wasn't going to complain to her because it's not her fault the manager doesn't know how to run the place.

The Chosen

December 14, 2022

I went there several times this year. I went to see the Chosen. Theater was clean. The only thing I seen was that they didn’t turn the lights off during the movies til almost toward the end of it. I seen Elvis there and it was perfect. You can go to the app and order tickets and popcorn and drink trouble free. I had no problems doing that. Everyone not wants to watch crap on there phones, Netflix, On Demand and etc. You have to pay for that more than you do for one movie at this theater.

Great but long lines

June 02, 2022

Clean, comfortable. Need to have separate lines for people just buying tickets. Not everyone wants snacks and the concession lines get long. Missed my start time and had to watch later showing because of waiting in line.

Nastiest Theater I have ever been too!

March 17, 2020

This theater is nasty. I went and hardly anyone was there. Popcorn everywhere. The worker behind the counter was smacking gum and blowing bubbles. To top it off she ask my daughters BF for his number. We just retired from the military and lived all over the place and by far this is the worst theater we had ever been to. I will drive the hour to Charlotte to go to the movies in the future.

Terrible

December 24, 2019

You shouldn't have to stand in line for over an hour just to purchase tickets only. I would get concessions but who can afford them so I just want tickets only. However there is assign seating...really. The overall experience is a joke. Will not b back.
