| - OK, back when I was in middle/high school, I would come here occasionally and never really enjoyed my experiences. However, it was close to home and it was part of the mall, so why not? I believe the last time (before this past weekend) that I went here was when I was dragged to see Twilight with a bunch of friends. Wow, how it has changed since then!!!! It is completely different now!
You used to have to buy tickets outside in a separate booth, which was a bit awkward. However, now you walk inside (a definite plus when it is 110 degrees+ here!) and buy tickets there. We were all a bit thrown off since none of us have been here in a while, but we walked inside and went up to the counter anyway. We wanted to see Edge of Tomorrow which we had heard good things about, but it has been out in theaters for a while now. We were extremely shocked to find out that the showing was sold out--we definitely were not expecting that!
However, we decided to just do some shopping and come back for the next showing 2 hours later. Just in case, we bought our tickets right away. It was a little confusing because it told us to choose our seats; they have assigned seats now, I guess! It also didn't seem right, since there weren't very many options... I thought, "Maybe they are just sections?" We soon found out that this was not the case... the theater we were to see the film in simply had about 20 seats! Next, we thought, "Wow, it must be a tiny theater!"
We eventually got in to our theater at the end of the hall and discovered that it was indeed quite small, but it was not too bad. However, we were very pleasantly surprised to see massive, reclining, extremely comfortable chairs! Our section of 4 seats took up the space of at least 6 or more seats in a regular theater! We were definitely happy about this! :) So, yes, it was a little small, but it was definitely worth it since it was almost like a private showing for a decent price! Not that many showed up for this showing either-- I guess the earlier showing was full because the tickets were super cheap before 12pm.
Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. They even have those really cool soda machines with tons of choices! The best part is, you don't have to have the employees fill your drinks for you either. They also seemed to have healthier snack choices at the concessions stand too. Altogether, it was a much better experience than I've ever had in an AMC before, and it was definitely a massive improvement to what was there at Arrowhead before! :)
