Features
AMC introduced stadium-style seating, in which the seats are placed on risers so that each person has an unobstructed view of the screen, and adjustable armrests that can be raised to create "loveseat" style seating. Both of these features have become standard for nearly all movie theaters built today by all major chains.
In a few markets, AMC offers the Dine-In Theaters with "Cinema Suites" and "Fork & Screen." Both offer the option to order full meals & alcoholic beverages, but Cinema Suites restricts this option to 21 and older exclusively, while Fork & Screen allows those younger than 18 when accompanied by an adult. The Dine-In theaters offer upgraded luxury-style reserved seating. A button is located by every seat to signal a server. At the AMC locations that offer Cinema Suites/Fork & Screen, while not every screen in the theater offers the upgrade, the auditoriums that do dedicate the entirety of the available seating to the concept. Competitor National Amusement's Showcase Cinema de Lux is testing a similar price-premium upgraded dine-in move experience called "The Lux Level" but as of 2012 has not yet expanded the program beyond three theaters, all located in the Boston, Massachusetts metro region.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
