We live very close to AMC Ahwatukee and visit this place often.
Although the facade is neat and tidy and slick bars embrace the movie hall what lies inside is a different story. I totally second Earl's comments on the cleanliness of the place...
In addition, the popcorn that they serve is not as crunchy as it should be. If you make the mistake of adding butter to it you might have to discard the whole thing... believe me when I say that that butter smells like coconut oil (I'm Indian, I know what coconut oil tastes like)
I'm not sure who runs the place but sometimes they make strategic mistakes like running a relatively new movie in one of their smaller halls. Recently we had to watch 'The curious case of Benjamin Button' in a tiny theater. The old lady beside me was probably suffering from flatulence and when we couldn't bear it anymore we came away..
So people, if you have a choice.. STAY AWAY
