1 / 3AMC Oakbrook Center 12
π Oak Brook, IL
Modern cinema with clean theaters and comfortable reclining seats. Parents appreciate the family-friendly environment but recommend avoiding IMAX and eating beforehand.
Clean and uncrowded. The theaters are great. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the mall should address the escalator problem near the theater. Every time I've gone in the past 6 months (probably 8 times), the Up, Down or neither of the escalators is working. There is an elevator near by, but...π€
π Family Action Verdict
Best for families seeking a clean, comfortable movie experience in regular theaters. Avoid IMAX for longer films due to non-reclining seats, and consider eating before arriving due to poor concession quality. The venue works well for all ages but requires patience with parking navigation.

βThe parking garage is huge and it tells you how many spots are left as well as which ones are open (green light) or are for those who can have the handicap spots (blue light). Just make sure you are at the right theater bc there are 2 AMCs in this Oakbrook Center (AMC 4 and 12). Just be careful. The seats recline and are very comfortable. Itβs not a dine in theater. The theater is nice, modern, and has all the stations for food, drinks, condiments, and a rest area w tables before you go inside to the auditoriums. But the parking lot is big and confusing and the 2 theaters make it more confusing. I would say combine them into 1 to reduce the confusion.β

βI love this theater for its clean space, easy parking, and dining options nearby β but the IMAX seats are a bit uncomfortable. Theyβre like airplane seats with no recline or footrest, and after a while, I was restless and couldnβt wait to stretch. For long IMAX movies (2.5 hours and longer), I recommend going to another location with recliners. Oakbrook, please update the IMAX with reclinersβ everything else here is perfect!β

βDidn't care for this location. For starters the reclining seats have zero room for walking space. If someone would need to get by you would have to put your seat down for them. Luckily for us we were literally the only ppl in the theater. 2nd the popcorn was terrible. Its not freshly popped they have it pre-placed in the buckets & sitting out & it tastes stale. Which is absolutely ridiculous considering the cost of popcorn these days. The only plus I saw was that the bar was open. We didnt purchase anything. But its rare that AMC actually has their bars open.β
