My friend & I went to a movie this morning & half way throught the movie I got paged to go to work; I explained this to the manager & without hesitation he gave us both movie passes. I was very impressed by his quick decision & readiness to help. This has become one of my favorite theaters.

Thanks AMC

Poor Customer Service

by martbenangel

We went to this theater after not having been there for a while. When I went to buy my tickets the salesperson at the counter was very impatient. He tried to charge me an adult price for my 12 year old. The sign clearly said, Child 2-12. When I mentioned this to him he became very upset and claimed that it meant "up to 12". After I said, "No, your sign specifically says through 12", he responded with "Fine! I'll give you the child's price. At this point I don't care! I'll just give you what you want!!" He made a face as he said this to me. It wasn't the money it was a matter of principal and honoring what their sign read. I reported it to the manager who apologized but did not seem to be too bothered by it. Maybe this theater does not want to deal with children at all. I will not choose this theater as my first choice again. There are 24 other theateres in the San Antonio area to choose from.

• Pros: centrally located
• Cons: employees not friendly, not child friendly, impatient employees

Great theater! Silence is Golden.

by khariton

I love this theater! Nice high chairs that are SO high you almost cant see the people sitting in front of you and yet your view of the screen still remains unobstructed. Also, their "No Noise" policy is top notch. To often the movie going experience is ruined by people bringing in umteen month olds or 1-3 year olds who, while in the minds of the parents who bring them are "well behaved" (more that the parents have become numb to the screaming, giggling, crying, squealing)...the children are irritating to most of the rest of the moviegoers. Even when you wait to see if the parents will take care of the issue they sit there "shhh"ing and cooing the kids while you try to watch the movie. Not at this theater! The policy they have for adults who make a ruckus goes ditto for parents and their loud children. It's well worth the extra bucks to be able to enjoy the movie in peace.

• Pros: Stadium seating, enforcement of the Silence policy
• Cons: older movies

Great theater!

The management must be very encouraging because the employees are helpful, kind and personable. From the ticket office to the snack bar, it is easy sit back and enjoy a good movie. Thank you AMC Huebner, you are the BEST!

• Pros: Helpful, professional, employees. Clean. Security in the parking log. All around fun night out.
• Cons: None!

Not for kids

by beccac33

My husband and I went to this movie with our 2 younger children this evening. Trust me, I am not a complainer, but my children are very well behaved. (They are 22 months and 8 months, and they are so quiet that you would never know that they exist)! My 8 month old began to "giggle" during the movie, the movie theater employee happened to walk-in and stand to view the crowd to make sure everyone was "well behaved" I guess. After his "giggle" they proceeded to kick us out of the theater. I was speechless!!! I had never been asked such a thing, no one around us had even so much had given us a bad look or any complaint. There we were already 1/2 way through a movie, and were getting "kicked" out! I had never even heard of such a thing! Luckily after arguing through 2 employees, then a manager, they finally refunded us. They were not going to at first because we apparently broke there "silence is golden" rule. Who knew a movie theater could have rules?

Needless to say, we were amazed, and now will never go back to that theater!

• Pros: typical movie theater, lots of selection
• Cons: not as much of a selection of brand new movies, are not children friendly

Great seats. VERY clean. Odd movie selections.

by janey_jenkins

We love this theater for it's big seats and how clean every theater and bathroom is. Parking is pretty easy, too. Their popcorn is so-so; very often it's WAY too salty. And the movie selections is odd, but in a good way. They'll continue to show a movie there that's long gone from all the other theaters. The downside to that is you'll see it in one of their small little theaters that has a screen not much bigger than what we have at home.

Overall, we like to come here over any other theater.

• Pros: Nice big seats. Parking is okay. Nice employees.
• Cons: Slow to get a lot of first run movies. Popcorn is too salty most of the time.

The latest in theater comforts and a wide choice in movies.

The Films
Huebner Oaks 24 carries all weekly mainstream releases and, with its many screens, can offer the more popular releases for the last month. The theater also features one art house-style film each week.

The Extras
The large concession stand sells a variety of snacks: standards such as popcorn and soda, $2.19 each for a small, and more exotic snacks including nachos and slushies. Ticket prices also make Huebner an attractive theater. Twilight shows starting around 5pm offer the thrifty moviegoer an early evening alternative to the full ticket price. Students with a valid ID can get the $4 rate for all shows. The nearby plaza offers shopping, restaurants and a bookstore for before and after movie entertainment.

Great place

by gwenyoung

Great theatre. I go here to see movies that aren't playing anywhere else in town. Whoever decides what to show deserves a raise.
