AMC Theaters suck (lemmy.world)

20 minutes of trailers and 10 minutes of AMC puff pieces including the Nicole Kidman OMG Cinema commercials.

Earlier today I went to an AMC IMAX theater to watch Dune Part 2 (spoiler free review, a great film), and instead of the film starting at the scheduled time we have to duck around for 30 min before the film starts (which even then isn't true since we get two 30 second studio logos).

I'm so happy that most theaters I go to are smaller with usually only a preview or two.

But for AMC, fuck you.

I liked them until they became so full of spoilers, now I actively avoid them. It would have been so much cooler if I hadn't known Spider-Man was going to make an appearance in Civil War.

Trailers have been full of spoilers since at least the 1930s.

That's why it's a mini-movie, you probably don't need to see most of them if the plot can be fully developed and resolved in 2 - 4 minutes.
