| - Yes, I'm giving this Harkins in the midst of ghetto-Phoenix 5 stars. GTFO! Why?!
Well, to quote Anthony P. below, "If you can remember waaay back when to the old Christown theater, where you had to bring a gun and knife to safely enter and exit, you will be happy to know that things have changed greatly. Both the theater and parking lot are safe, clean, and well lit."
His comment, x100!
I definitely remember scaaaaryyyy wayyy ghetto old-Christown theater, the one I used to go to in middle school with all my little hoodrat friends (I mean that in the nicest way possible, hoodrat friends!). It was crazy ghetto, hobos all around, and I'm pretty sure I do remember hearing rumors of people getting knifed. I went with my Dad once when I was 12, and I remember even he was slightly worried (and he's former military). So yeah... gross.
Fast forward 8 years and I come back from a) being spoiled by the AMC on Camelback I went to in HS (bc I was soooo much classier in high school, ha!) and b) being away at college, and my boyfriend suggested we go to 'The Harkins at Christown."
What the what?? Was my boyfriend trying to have me killed? At least wait til you've got a life insurance policy on me!
That being said, we went (I was dragged), and my -mind- -was- -blown-! Brand new (ohhh shiny!), brightly lit, huge parking lot, friendly ticket and concessions stand kids, and stadium seating!! And CLEAN!! And no knife fights out front!!!
I can't even believe this is literally right around the corner from ghetto-Walmart.
The outdoor kiosk things do work now-- you can buy your ticket from them if no one is at the counter.
I am definitely going to this theater more often-- You can't beat the Harkins deal (shirt deal, loyalty cup deal), the prices are better than AMC, and it's just as decent a theater as AMC at Camelback too. Yay Harkins!
