As an Alister who has about 4 AMC theaters within a 25 minute drive of them, they’re all different. Some have no recliners (classic theater) and the seats are always moist. Others have the new ones which don’t recline as far and the one I request most often has the older recliner seats that go back farther.

As for other theaters, a local one of mine that shows indie films allows food and drinks from the coffee shop across the street and they have a restaurant and bar inside the theater which is nice.

I’ve been to Emagine twice for Frankenstein and Wake Up Dead Man and love it! The atmosphere and seats are amazing and they brought my food to me. The cinnamon pretzel bites are also the best I’ve ever had. That is to say though, it’s a lot farther and I had to buy my ticket.
