| - So, for the last couple of years, the hubs and I have been die-hard Harkins fans. It's a local company, the theatres are clean, the popcorn is good, and best of all, you can get a plastic cup for the same price as a regular drink that can be refilled for just $1.
That said, AMC Arizona Center had an uphill battle to fight when we decided to ride our bikes over yesterday because there isn't a Harkins within biking distance.
I thought ahead and got the AMC MovieWatcher card in the mail, which we used, though it didn't get us anything off the price of the movie or anything special at concessions (I think I knew that already though). The prices are reasonable - $10 for the two of us for a Saturday morning matinee isn't too bad!
The price for concessions was a little spendy, but everyone knows that already.
We ended up spending $2.25 more than we would have at Harkins... and we didn't spend any money on gas, so I think they did well price-wise.
The ushers and ticketpeople were very friendly and nice, and the theater is very clean, except for the bathroom (and as Amy D. noted, the theater smelled like feet. What gives, AMC?).
The loo was 98% clean - and that 2% is icky. Stop reading here if you are of the sensitive of stomach.
There was poo on the floor in the next stall over from mine. No, not a little drip. A whole turdlet. Someone missed the bowl entirely. This can certainly not be blamed on the cleaners of the bathroom - so I can't really dock them any stars for that, but ew!!! That is so gross.
Back to the review. I would definitely go back to AMC. It's close, convenient, and I think that MovieWatcher card will get us something good someday.
