| - I swear I've been going to this place since before recorded history, back when dinosaurs roamed the planet. Ahhhhhhhhhh, the memories... You'll be glad to know that the old, falling-apart-at-the-seams-saddle-worn seats with gum on them have been replaced with slick highbacks; the garbled, scratchy sound system has been eighty-sixed for a high-end digital one; and even the screens themselves have a sharper, digitized image. Add less-expensive-than-usual snacks to the mix, as well as cheesy memorabilia in the lobby, and you've got the makings of a classy movie experience!
What's not to like about this place? Well, keep in mind that this venue opened before the dawn of time, so don't go expecting stadium-style sightlines that all the new places have these days. Also, think Wal-Mart when it comes to the clientele. North Scottsdale it ain't! Which means the customers aren't always as quiet as a mouse during the film. (Though, keep in the mind that the type of film being shown on any given screen will obviously attract different types of crowds.)
But, otherwise, you can't beat the price, and the seats, sound, and picture quality are decent. So live it up with all the money you'll save visiting this theater; instead of going to those other places with their make-the-eyes-water ticket prices, as well as snack bar rates that make the menu at a fancy, 5-star restaurant seem like K-mart blue-light specials. Your savings will help finance the kids' Ivy League-college fund, or maybe help with that down payment on the mansion in Paradise Valley you've had your eye on. The choices are endless. Enjoy!
