| - This theatre is a great place to go catch a movie if you want to have dinner and drinks afterward on Mill Avenue. If not, you should go to another theatre. Also, if you don't like to fight crowds to watch a movie, then this would be a good theatre. It never seems very crowded.
First, no stadium seating. I think I'm spoiled because back in Ohio, all of our AMC theatres had stadium seating. The chairs were nice and comfy and made you want to snuggle in them especially if the movie was going to be 2+ hours. The Harkins on Mill has the old movie theatre seats, and I had to move around quite a bit during our 1 hour and 40 minute movie so my butt wouldn't fall asleep. Second, only one concession stand was open and the selection was pretty limited. Prices were standard movie theatre prices...my medium drink was $4.00.
The worst part of this theatre is that because it is located so close to ASU, it means that annoying frat-tastic douchebags go to this theatre to watch movies. You know, the really annoying guys who a) feel that they are the only person there so they talk super loud before the movie starts, as if I really care about their sex life, b) talk incessently through the movie, as if I really care about their feelings on what is going on, and c) get up constantly during the movie because they probably snuck beer into the theatre and now have to go to the bathroom. The few times I have gone here to watch a movie, I have been stuck with these kind of guys in the theatre and it makes the experience horrible. I mean, if I'm already watching a crappy movie (ahem, Spiderman 3), I don't want to have it worsened with jerks chit-chatting through the movie.
