This is where I prefer to most mainstream movies in Scottsdale. Camelview is my favorite as weird as that may seem. I like the AMC at Desert Ridge for the following reasons: * Good place to grab a bite before or after the film * Nice outdoor sitting areas all around ( unlike 101) * New very updated theater * Icees at the snack bar :) *Lots of great shopping all around * Friendly staff *Very clean
I guess I mostly like the AMC because the atmosphere of Desert Ridge is better than Scottsdale 101, but hey it's a lot better hang out spot when you are with a group of friends. Plus they made a AWESOME rule that sixteen year olds can't be there after six without a chaperon, so it's no longer packed with fourteen year olds. YES! Although I got carded once, I'm 20, which sucked!
Like all movie theaters in the area it gets crowded so make sure you plan for that!
This is our regular movie theater hangout. It's a chain cinema, but with a few perks: The theater is new and fairly big, and attached to Desert Ridge.
This is probably one of the cleanest theaters in town, with very friendly staff. I've actually gotten free nachos here, just by asking! (Twice!) (See http://www.danesparza.... )
I really like the automated ticket systems, located just outside and just inside this theater. When there is a long line waiting to purchase tickets outside, just go inside -- most people don't seem to remember there is a set of automated ticket purchasers inside, as well.
The only reason why I don't give this theater 5 stars is because of the ticket and concession prices. I expect a theater to give good value. You will get good service for your money, just expect to pay for it.
Depending on what you like to get, 2 tickets and some concessions can run close to $30.
And if you don't like a movie, feel free to ask for your money back. When I have had the rare occasion to ask for a refund, the staff have always been courteous and prompt in giving one.
Tips for this theater:
Because it's attached to Desert Ridge, dinner and a movie can be separated by only a short walk.
If it's winter and you've got time to kill before a movie, get a hot cup of deliciousness at the nearby Starbucks, and plant yourself by the fireplace in front of the AMC.
Ok here is the thing, the seats here are soo uncomfortable!. they curve like he letter C and your neck is curved down??!? Why would they make a seat like that.
I will say the sound is supierior to Harkins but the ticket is also like a buck or two more.
Since I am a cheap bastard I look up ways to save. I signed up for their card and now I get free popcorn on wednesdays and a free ticket like every 4 tickets I buy. Here is the link it makes it a little more worth it than Harkins.
Well normally we go to the Harkins near our house but we got a gift card for AMC so we stopped on over. I still like my Harkins better.
First off, it's in a funky location. My husband is sort of visually and directionally challenged so with out the entrance out front saying "COME IN" we drove around for like 10 minutes until he figured it out. The second gripe is that when we went to get tickets there was one person manning the counter to get tickets. Of course, because they feature $5 tickets before noon on weekends, there are a ton of people there.
Whatev. Desert Ridge is like chain city so it's fitting to have an AMC.
Stadium seating, good. Chairs that don't recline, bad. Having to walk around the building three times to find the entrance, very bad.
There is nothing special about this movie theater. The individual theaters are small and there aren't that many of them. I guess I'm spoiled by megaplexes, this is not one.
