Overview
AMC would be Brisbane’s most recent cinema chain. They came to prominence in
the late 1990s and now have three locations in Brisbane – Stafford,
Sunnybank and Redcliffe.
The Stafford cinema is the one I frequent most (until I moved into the city in
mid-2006). Don’t
even ask how many films and how much money I have spent there. The Stafford
cinema has 10 screens with Sunnybank and
Redcliffe having 8 each.
Movie
Quality
& Range
- 6 out of 10
AMC ranks slightly above your standard Birch, Carroll & Coyle cinemas in that
there are a few art-house films which sneak in from time to time (at the
Stafford cinema). They classify these other films as part of their “critic’s
choice”. I’m not saying they make much money from these films but I applaud
them for being a major cinema chain brave enough to show them.
Cinema Quality & Service
- 6 out of 10
As
part of the newer brigade of cinemas, you’ll find all the latest facilities
including nice big seats and retractable arm rests with beverage holders. Like
any suburban shopping centre cinemas, the service is standard. Queues also are a major drag on weekends. But thankfully
they have separate queues for both tickets and the candy bar which is a time
saver (if you aren’t buying overpriced snacks).
You’ll find plenty of parking being in a shopping centre and I can speak for the
well-priced meal deal at the Stafford City cinemas which offers a ticket and a
Fasta Pasta dinner for only $16.90.
