AMC Desert Ridge 18

We visited AMC Desert Ridge for the first time yesterday. The theater is in a nice location. You can sit outside and enjoy some company. The biggest disappointment for us was they no longer do food service to your seat. They still have the normal food and snacks you can order at concessions but you have to wait there and pick it up to take to your seat. We still decided to get some food (though we knew it was overpriced theater food) the chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, and pizza were cooked well and tasty at least. The coke freestyle machines out in the lobby were really nice (probably my favorite thing about the concessions). You can puck ehatever drink satisfies your current mood and change whenever your mood does (which for some of us is more often than others). They also had butter stations for your popcorn so you could butter your own until your hearts content...or your arteries are clogged. They have McGruffins bar for those that want to partake in a drink or two. The seats were pretty nice, reclining with small tables. They did feel close to your neighbor but as long as your neighbor isn't sasquatch, still comfortable. The screen was a good size for the room and the volume was at a nice level. I think I could have rotisseried a chicken in the theate room, but maybe that is just me and my hot flashes. Overall it was a pleasant enough experience if you want a typical movie going time it is worth the visit.

First time at this location and we are happy to see the Celebrities Wall mural at the front. Seats are comfortable. We didn't order food but they have it in case you want. It's in a Mall so it's convenient. Many amenities outside. The only negative thing are the sounds, were too high. Volume needs adjusting. Be back.

Sound and picture? Awesome. IMAX laser looks great and the audio absolutely slams. Everything else feels neglected. Seats are worn out with zero cushioning left, fabrics look dirty, cup holders were sticky, and there’s visible dust and grime on the walls and even on top of the speakers. The whole auditorium feels like it hasn’t been deep cleaned in years. 3D glasses were greasy when handed to us (gross). Popcorn was good — I’ll give them that. Also weirdly frustrating: no clear signage showing what movie is playing in each auditorium. We forgot our theater number and walked into the wrong one twice.

We went last night, the theatre was disgusting. The butter station was filthy, the soda machines had piles of ice just sitting, there was popcorn everywhere on the floor from the snack station to the bathrooms to the actual theatre, the cushions of the seats felt greasy, the womens bathroom had paper towel and tissue overflowing , it did not look like any one was paying attention to the cleanliness of the facility. I was shocked because this theatre is located in such a nice area. :(

Went to watch the new screen X. It was pretty okay. Not worth going again. Nothing too special. Had to keep pressing the button to recline and return my seat to an upward position because of the people going to the bathroom constantly and there not being enough room for them to pass by when my seat is reclined. Happened at about 12 times total. AMC also just has food that wasn’t good. And no room in the bathroom to move around. Brushing shoulders with the person coming In or out. Very tiny area.
