AMC Movie Theater Review: Naperview, Illinois

Hey Peeple: as many of you know, I go to the movies quite a bit and there are three AMC Theaters I frequent. For this review, let me start with my AMC Showplace Naperville 16, because it’s my most frequented location in Illinois.

Of course, we at RunPee know you’re concerned about restrooms. The restrooms are conveniently located between the 16 screening rooms; there’s a good flow of traffic in and out, and they’re usually clean. I have not been inclined to inform management that the restrooms need attending,  but I will if necessary.

What’s great: 
I really love this theater because it’s a good size for the amount of people and crowds it receives. Parking is well-lit, plentiful, and free. This facility is situated as the back anchor of a two-sided shopping strip. The strip encompasses lots of restaurants, service facilities (e.g. cleaners, grocery store, UPS, salons), a bank, etc. The theater sits in the back of the shopping complex, which helps isolate the movie traffic from rubberneckers looking for a particular store. The facility is handicapped accessible, with ample seating for wheelchairs. This single floor location has plenty of exit doors and a central entrance. During the holiday season and summer months, the lines can be long, so plan accordingly by getting your tickets through the AMC app or the kiosks in the foyer.

The concessions menu contains a variety of great items; of course, a little expensive though. Warning: chicken tenders are made to order and take almost 7-10 minutes, but they are sooooo yummy.

The theater overall is clean and in good repair every time I’ve visited. The stadium seating is very good. The ambiance is nice and up to date. There’s also a small video arcade area. I really like the Dolby screening room; the sound is amazing! This location also offers any of the AMC promos, double features, and limited showing screenings. As a matter of fact, I’ve attended numerous Oscar Best Picture Events at this location. It’s so much fun spending 12 hours for two Saturdays watching incredible movies, in a clean facility, with a great event host supplied by the theater.

I’ve sponsored a free screening to 100 girls and women, and the layout of the lobby accommodated my event smoothly without disruption to the concessions or ticket area. Another thing I love about this theater is that the customer service desk is right in the middle of the lobby, at the ticket booth area for easy access to management.

How could this theater improve?
AMC Naperville could improve by ensuring all kiosks are working,  and there are ample staff at the counters (ticket and concessions). When there are large crowds, the manager should be visible to assist customers with issues or merely just to watch the flow of concession lines and hallway traffic, often  filled with unaccompanied teenagers.

Overall, this AMC is perfect for families, friends outings, and something to add between errands to just chill.

Movie Watching Must Have!!

I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!
