| - It was Star Trek - The Movie, Redux that brought me here.
My Lovely Daughter Whitney had the pleasure of my company at the movies, in honor (or honour, for you brits:) of my seemingly never-ending birthday celebration:)
I was trying to remember if I had ever actually seen a movie here, or just walked too close during a shopping excursion and I decided that I hadn't ever actually been in the theater (or theatre for you know whom).
I do like the Camelview 5, across the street, but, frankly, not so much the big brother here in The Scottsdale Fashion Square.
We saw the movie on a mid-week afternoon, so the place wasn't overrun with tiny little disease carrying, mis-guided missiles:)
Still, the there is just something about the place:
- Screens are kind of small
- Theater itself smells like a school bus, and not in a good way... I
think it's the ventilation from the SFS food court...
- Staff, including the concession staff just didn't seem to be having a
very good time...I suppose that's going to be true of pretty much any
movie house employee, but could you smile a little?...it would
make me feel better about the hilarious prices of your "treats":)
On the plus side, Harkins popcorn has been consistently decent (and for $37 for a medium bag of the stuff, it should be lovingly coated in truffle butter...but it's not).
Even though it's close to home, it not close enough to make up for the shortcomings:(
I'm with Heather C... motor down the road (or better yet, ride your bike...we do:) to the AMC at Esplanade:)
