Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- dustythoughtsManchester, CT1,765 contributionsI usually enjoy coming to this movie theater - it's conveniently located, there's always a movie I want to see at a time that works for me, and the seats are comfortable. It's a busy movie theater precisely because of its location, so buy tickets early if you want to ensure a good seat. Sometimes the escalators don't work, but they're fixed quickly. It's a large movie theater (3 floors), so there are plenty of movie options, and it's decorated nicely for a chain. The bathrooms could be cleaned more frequently, though.Written 20 May 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jan DSaint Charles, MO351 contributionsOur group of three adults visited during the mid afternoon to see "Amazing Grace", and were reminded of the deep spiritual roots of the late Aretha Franklin in this outstanding documentary. On the main floor was a delightful Gourmet Cafe, and we went downstairs to the see the film, where they had a traditional concession stand as well. It's great to have theaters that show movies of real substance and true artistry.Written 1 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- pokiloca13Brooklyn, NY4 contributionsNice theater... went to ipic as a group of four. We sat in the same row but only 2 people can sit together. The seats are shaped like pods, with a wall between you and next person. They give you a blanket.. that is a nice touch since it's freezing in there. The food is okay the street tacos barely have anything in them. And the kids chicken tenders are just 2 pieces. They should atleast have 1 or 2 four seater pods for family's.Written 3 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Karen S1 contributionOn a recent visit to New York, I visited the Quad Cinema as it was the only place not showing Disney or superhero movies. As the first multiplex in NY this place deserves a mention, it was very clean, classy and the staff were so friendly and helpful. It was a great night out for me and my grown up daughters who were visiting the city for the first time from the UK. We saw Silent Night which was festive but tragic.Written 4 January 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ray G45 contributionsMy wife & I went here on a Saturday afternoon to see a movie that was not showing anywhere near our neighborhood.Its win-win situation when both spouses are actually into the exact same movie & want to see it badly enough to travel to unfamiliar territory to see it.The theatre itself & the movie were nice.Concession stand was decent,staff efficient,bathroom large & clean.However,come time to get back on our side of town the West side of Manhattan,the area is so remote that we honestly couldnt find the street we were being picked up from.The four corners of the theatre are surrounded by water,being in the financial district with a highway separating them! This is NOT an area to be in when it is cold outside & you have to pick your way thru the blocks.I had to call our driver to come find us.Even with navigation from the cellphone,it was still impossible to tell which way to walk.Not sure I would go here again.At least not in the winter time.Written 13 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marilyn RBronx, NY52 contributionsi took my adult son to this theater because it was birthday and he wanted to hang out at 42nd street afterwards. i ordered the tickets amc website, we got there early, the ticket guy told us the theater was upstairs, the escalators were not working, had to climb the steps, my son ordered his snacks, we went inside the theater, the seats were not like the AMC theaters the recliners? this theater didn't have it. just seats that you have to push down with your butt. the move we saw was IT chapter 2.
the movie was great, sound was clear, the theater was clean. afterwards, we took the elevator, which by the way we didn't notice till got to the third floor.
but overall, nice theater.Written 20 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
