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:
“These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“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)
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
