AMC Castleton Square 14

With so many theaters making updates to their seating/​décor/​available food options and the fact that this mall has a tendency to draw sketchy patrons, AMC Castleton has never really been my first choice for a stellar movie-​going experience. But when your friend wins free tickets to an advanced première of a film you’ve been looking forward to, you’re hard-​pressed to decline.
On the plus side, the theater is generally clean, the floors don’t seem to have that gross, sticky surface that’s so common in large, chain theaters, and the seats are relatively comfortable.
Ticket and food prices are high, but AMC Castleton does have the advantage of the Coke Freestyle machine (for bountiful flavor options and quick refills) and a fully (ish)-stocked bar. However, it’s only a matter of time before I would no longer consider these «advantages» as they’re becoming commonplace.
Though I prefer the atmosphere and food/​drink options at places like Flix in Carmel, I’m sure I’ll find myself back at AMC Castleton at some point in the future.

This AMC is really struggling with unruly teenagers talking and using cell phones during movies at this location. We had to show our tickets three times before getting to the theater so they are obviously having trouble with people sneaking in also. It may not be AMCs fault that for some reason all these disrespectful teenagers have descended on this location but they have lost me as a customer and will continue to do so until they get things under control. I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s a problem. Who wants to watch a movie with people talking and looking at their bright phones?

I love the kareg, spacious stadium seating. It gives awesome views from almost any vantage point. It’s clean and the seats are comfortable. The bathrooms are always clean which is a definite plus for me. Concession stand offers the standard fare with a few extra entrees, as always it is very expensive but this the norm across all theaters. There is also a full Sevier bar here as well. Not sure why you gotta have a million dollar drink at the movies but hey, I bet it’s nice for those who use it. Love going to the movies here.

The dark side of the theater. Largest movie release ever and you should make sure your equipment works. We got there an hour early to get the seats we like, watched the previews, and the theater went dark… thirty-​five minutes after the start time they came in told us to move to another theater that was full. We then got into a theater with a start time 2 hours later. No apologies, no costumer service. There are other movie houses close… go to them. Don’t waste your time and money here.

I’ve only been to a movie here once, so maybe my experience was just a bad first impression, but I wasn’t super impressed by this particular branch of AMC Theaters. I have, however, tried going here before and the movies I’ve wanted to see are sold out. Maybe next time I’ll be luckier.
I know this is a movie theater in a mall, so it’s going to be pretty well-​frequented, but I get the feeling that this place is often understaffed, and its staff are overworked as a result and therefore, don’t really care. The concession lines were really long, and the theater we saw our movie in wasn’t very clean. I don’t recall if I used the bathrooms so I can speak to their cleanliness.
I’m willing to give this place another chance (it is, after all, the closest movie theater by about three miles). I only hope my next experience here is better than my last.
Two positive notes, however:
1. Coke Freestyle machines. Pick your poison, and get your own refills.
2. Arm rests of the theater chairs are moveable, so you can snuggle with your sweetie while you watch.

This is one of the spots I frequently go to for movies — it has a variety of the current popular films and lots of showtimes to work around your schedule, and it’s only about 15 minutes from where I live. It’s dependable and has comfortable seats and plenty of snacks. My only real complaint is that the self-​serve ticket machines rarely work and mostly just cause a lot of frustration — it would be better to have them off and just have people wait in line a little longer. Last time, I accidentally bought 3 tickets when I only wanted (and selected) 1, and didn’t realize it until later.

Parking is usually hard since it’s at the mall, but we end up here frequently. I love the new bar and they have coke freestyle machines so you can get your own refills. So much faster than waiting in line.
We have the AMC Stubbs card and it earns money back when you buy tickets and concessions. I also get a free drink on my birthday. It ends up being worth the price.

Standard large chain movie theatre. Stadium seating is the standard and solid sound system. There is a full bar, but limited beer selection. Spacious entry lobby and large concession area. Located in Castleton mall and near 465.

This movie theater is amazing. It is definitely bigger than the AMC theater on the southside of Indianapolis. I did enjoy the coke freestyle machines. The restrooms and movie theater were immaculately clean. The theater had stadium seating. The staff was extremely polite and professional. I’m looking forward to having my next movie experience at this location.

Nice theater. It’s large, clean, and the seats are comfortable. Compared to Glendale Landmark 12, the tickets are more expensive. Their matinée prices aren’t great — two adult tickets for a movie before 2pm cost $ 17.50. Pricier than the other theaters I go to. The concessions are about the same price, however you get less at AMC. They have the coke machines where you can completely customize your drink. But if you get there during a rush at the concession stand this can really slow things down. Overall, this is not my preferred movie theater.

This place is turning into Washington Sq. Wonder why that place is going down hill– sarcastic statement. All I see is dudes with their pants down and boxers out.
What’s next? The fashion mall? Carmel clay? Hamilton town center?

I’ve enjoyed visiting this theater since the day it opened. Clean, stadium seating, comfortable seats and the sound/​viewing quality is top notch. This is my «go to» theater and they even have a bar now! My only complaint is the food and beverage prices, but you’ll find this at any theater.

Huge, massively impressive theater. You walk in and you’re momentarily awed. Clientele is a mixed bag, but that’s kind of true of all movie theaters. Tickets and snacks aren’t cheap, but if you use an AMC card you supposedly get discounts or rewards. I’d come back, the screens are huge and the seats comfy as all get out.

The Castleton AMC deserves every one of those four stars. We all know what a movie theatre should have: Stadium Seats, Big Screens, Updated Feel…
Here are what the Castleton AMC does that makes it my go to theatre on the northeast side:
–Bar in the lobby. Sure it’s just as expensive as every other drink in the place, but it’s still nice to have a beer/​cocktail in the theatre.
–Great service. All of the staff is always happy to serve. I like that.
–Good selection of movies. They always have what I want to see and they don’t hold on to old movies too long. They hit that sweet spot.
Overall, it’s a good theatre and it’s probably my favorite standard chain theatre in the city. If you want an old fashion, minimal thrills theatre experience, AMC Castleton is your place.

This use to be our go to theater. Lately, they seem to be cutting back on staff at the ticket window. So get there early to avoid waiting in line too long. The same thing can be said for the concession stand. I will say they have one of the better concession stands in the area. But it is HIGH prices for chicken strips and pan pizzas. Also the addition of Bar, is a nice addition for those date night and grabbing a drink.
But I think AMC has gotten their money out of those stadium chairs, and it is time to change them out. They are dirty, and over the years all the butts in the seats have lost their plushness.
They seem to do a decent job of keeping the place clean.

The strength of AMC is the convenient location. They added a bar right inside the entry to allow drinks in the movie. However, compared to other updated theaters around the area it is hard to justify the price over other options. The theater always has a crowd so plan accordingly if you are trying to see an opening night or other popular event.

Great theatre. This is the third time I have been here and there are some perks! I like the seats… Soft and comfy! Though it would be more awesome if they reclined at all! The drink machine rocks. I wish all theatres allowed you to fix your own drinks! It’s the little things in life that make me happy right!?! Well this one does! The only thing that causes me to down it to four stars is two minor things… #1 no Dr pepper?! Um hello!!! I know it’s a Coca-​Cola freestyle, but every other machine I’ve seen had Dr. Pepper, not Mr. Pibb… Ugh! And #2 no hot tamales!!! What kind of theatre are you really!!! Yes you loose stars for that one!

They have a bar in the lobby now… but even with booze they still can’t compete with the fact that we prefer the leather recliners just installed at the Regal Theater (96^th and Hague). However, having a free movie pass here will get us to come to this theater without much complaint.
This is an older theater with scratchy cloth seats, but overall it is pretty clean. Stadium seating here is nice. We like that the arm rests go up so you can move closer to your partner and farther from the creepy guy crowded next to you on the other side hogging the arm rest. Tonight it was randomly super hot in the theater which struck me as odd as I usually freeze. Could have been due to the packed house for the free pre-​screening.
I would say this is really a 3 ½ star location, but always round up for good measure.

Pretty awesome for a movie theatre! Last time I went I noticed they had installed those wonderful soda machines that spits out any soda you could possibly dream of. This place gets five stars just for that!
BUT… Staff is always friendly, bathrooms are always clean and lines are always quick. That is why this place gets five stars.

Overall, I think this movie theatre is pretty nice. It’s not too convenient for me since I live in the downtown area, but since it’s often a home for festivals and free showings, I’ll often find myself making the trek up there.
Parking is usually plentiful, but getting into the actual parking lot requires some strategy if it’s a busy night. The last time I was here was for a free showing so I can’t complain about the price of tickets! They also have the kiosks for those who buy tickets online. The concessions are so-​so, overpriced (surprise!), but they do offer the more meal-​like options if you’re looking for chicken fingers, etc.
The theaters are stadium style with some decent leg room, seats are pretty comfortable also. I’ve never had any issues finding a seat here!
I probably won’t make any special trips up here in the near future, but if I find myself up on the north side again anytime soon, this place wasn’t terrible.
