| - 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.us/2006/06/26/nacho-surreality/ )
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.
