1 / 2AMC Garden State Plaza 16
📍 Paramus, NY
Popular large cinema offering excellent movie selection and sound quality across 16 screens. Good for families prioritizing variety of showtimes over luxury seating.
I used to go to this AMC back in 2018, when I was an exchange student (I’m from méxico). Saturday mornings were the best bc my host family would drive me there if I wanted to see a new movie. I always had a good time, shotout to my host parents Terri and Peter Caust for that!! Also shotout to the workers… (mostly ppl in their 20’s) they were always so kind 🥹 btw I still have a $25 balance on my AMC card lol
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who prioritize movie selection and sound quality over luxury seating. The large theater offers plenty of showtimes and good picture/audio, making it suitable for all ages. However, families used to modern reclining seats may find the traditional seating less comfortable for longer films.

“I saw the shining here in IMAX 12/12/25, unfortunately I didn’t get to explore the rest of the mall since I got there at 9:50pm I will the next time I come here since it seems cool.”

“It has been a while since I watched a movie at a theater that does not provide reclining seats. And yes, this theater is the rare antique theater without the reclining seats and kind of out-dated carpet. But besides the seating (lack of) and the old carpet (still clean), I can't complain about anything else. It's clean, humongous (size and selection) and most importantly, the viewing experience was quite positive.”

“Fairly clean for a big movie theater. Good selection of showings and times. Seats are comfortable and come with cupholders; however, I don't think they can recline, which I personally don't mind but others might. Good picture quality and loud audio. Overall, I'd recommend for any movie watching experience.”
