AMC Centerpoint 11

First of all, let me say that my boyfriend and I have been watching movies here since we found out they have reserved seating. We’ve watched a couple box office hits without any line whatsoever and in a leather reclining seat – how can you beat that?! Well, our good opinion of this place went downhill after experiencing several recurring bad occurrences as of late… My boyfriend and I watched a movie – or at least tried to watch it – one evening during the week… That night was the straw that broke the camel’s back! Our movie was interrupted with the light coming on during the movie FOUR different times!!! There were 2 or 3 people in the theater who had to go out to tell staff to turn the lights off again… and again… and again… We could not focus on the movie because there was a glare on the screen every single time the lights came on! I should have demanded to get our money back, but it was late and I didn’t want to deal with it anymore with school and work the next morning. I figured it would be a lost cause anyway… how is it that we have to tell staff to turn off the lights «four» times? C’mon now…
Secondly, I understand that there are always going to be rude people in a theater once in awhile because some people just don’t believe in manners; however, it seems that EVERY SINGLE TIME we watch a movie here now, we ALWAYS have a group of rude foreign guys who talk – not whisper – in their native language (to each other and/​or on the phone) during the movie… and get this, we’ve even heard snoring, like a fire-​breathing dragon with a head cold aka loud snoring… Where is the common courtesy?! And why do they have to keep coming to the same screenings as us?! The reserved seating was awesome while it lasted, but with reserved seating becoming more popular and starting to spread among all the different movie theaters, I don’t think we’ll be coming back to this particular theater anymore… We won’t come back until the rude people stop coming/​stop their annoying behavior as well as until the people who work the flim and lighting get their crap together! I am a pretty patient person, but for me to write this review with such (semi-​held back) frustration, you can say that we are not happy… I hope your movie experience isn’t disturbed by anything we have come across! Good luck!

They managed to redo the chairs and make them so uncomfortable! Movie chairs were not broken, why were they fixed? These mechanical recliners are loud when you try to adjust during a movie.

Great reclining seats, popcorn topping options, trays for the popcorn, self serve soda freestyle fountain, parking validation, reserved seating (also available on fandango), and (best of all) $ 5 something matinees show times! Definitely my favorite theatre I have found in the Tempe/​mesa area so far!

My wife and I really enjoy this theater, the seats are super comfy and they have great matinée pricing. The biggest downside is the theater and lobby are often disgustingly trashed. Floors go un-​swept and counters un-​wiped which is a big turnoff. A few times they had old promotional sigh s up for the concessions which meant deals that are clearly displayed are expired and not available. Overall we’ve enjoyed our visits but this theater always seems to have a lack of attention to detail and simple issues that could be resolved just aren’t.

This is by far my favorite movie theater in Tempe. First of all… RECLINING SEATS! You don’t have to worry about fighting for a prime seat at a movie première, just reserve your seat online or in person.
The location is right off mill, so it’s great to go to after a dinner date. As fro parking, make sure you go to a showing after 6 and park down the street where the meters end after 6pm or on Sunday. The prices of the tickets have dropped as well so they are more affordable.
Not too many people know of this cinema so it doesn’t usually get too crowded. Plus it’s nice to have your own space and not fight for comfort in your seat.
Catch a movie, chill and watch a movie!

Great theater and staff. Fandango wouldnt help me out when I had a blowout and couldn’t make my movie on time. Got there to see Star Wars with my son and its 45 minutes into the movie and the employee said don’t worry we will get you into the next one which was sweet. Seating is so comfortable that I will not go to another theater with regular seats, the recliners are awesome! No complaints!

I must agree with all of the other reviewers. The seats are AWESOME. They are unlike anything I have ever experienced in a movie theater before. However, so is the assigned seating. There are limited seats in each theater. Understandably so since they have these huge, comfy, reclining chairs, but the seating is ASSIGNED. Booo! I feel like I’m at a concert. I subscribe to the first come, first serve movie theater seating.
We bought tickets for a 7:45 showing. When we walked in at 7:40, the theater was completely full (except for our seats), and everyone was glued to the movie that had already started… We looked at our tickets and realized they had accidentally issued us the tickets for the showing at 7:15. The employee who helped us was very kind and quickly agreed to exchange our tickets, but by this time, there were no seats left for the 7:45 showing, and only 2 seats left for the 8:15 showing which were apart from each other. Luckily some people didn’t show up so we were able to sit together, but the whole setup is quite inconvenient. I wouldn’t come back here again just for the fancy seats. I would rather sit in regular seats and choose which ones I sit in.

Pretty good. Loving the reserved seating. Staff is always great, lots of breathing room upstairs and in the halls. Wide concession and drink selection. Usually clean, 24hrs customer service.

Since I’ve moved to the valley many moons ago I have always said I prefer Harkins over AMC, but I have now been won over by AMC Centerpoint, if you haven’t been you need to go!
I have been to UtlraStar, IPic, Studio Movie Grill who all have the reclining seats, but they have a select few and if you didn’t book early you mostly had missed out, also a higher price came with the seats, but at AMC Centerpoint for a normal priced ticket, you can get your very own plush reclining seat.
Better yet, excited to see a movie premier? You can buy your tickets & choose your seats in advance, easy peasy! But you don’t have to wait for a movie premier to get seats, you can get them anytime.
I can see most of my movie going next year will be at AMC Centerpoint.

It’s kinda hard to differentiate a movie theater… But this one is amazing! I don’t know if it’s AMC revamping their brand or if it’s this one specifically, but the last 5 movies I’ve seen I’ve driven 20 minutes from my house just to come here… Even when there’s one across the street.
Here’s why:
* my ticket was $ 7.50 on a Saturday night
* the staff is super friendly and helpful, unlike most which you feel like you’re bothering them.
* THE SEATS ARE AMAZING. They are so comfy it almost kinda sucks Cus I’ve fallen asleep… But they are like lazy boys and fully recline & you can reserve them.
Come here for your next movie, you’ll be hooked!

Cheap tickets, great seats, free refills!

Everyone is talking about the seats, but I’m going to repeat it. The seats here are awesome. They’re the equivalent of the Cinema Suites seats from the Dine-​In theaters, but without the triple-​the-​price markup. In fact, the prices here are the same prices that I used to pay back in high school at the only movie theater in our small town — incredibly reasonable. Our theater was surprisingly not too crowded, either, considering the Tempe location.
It’s a bit of a drive from our Biltmore location and there are several other movie theaters between us and this one, but whenever we have a bit of extra time, we’ll head down here to watch our movie in comfort.

I’m a former fan of ‘another’ chain of theaters here in the valley. Actually I really didn’t care AMC at all. That is until I came here to this AMC! The atmosphere was awesome, I like being able to choose your own seat. They are fully reclining seats now too! The sound has definitely improved in this new AMC, I’m definitely a AMC theater goer now :)

Best theater in town!!! They have the recliner seats that are assigned seating. I am guilty of falling asleep in these comfy and cozy seats. Handicap seats are also really nice and reserved for people who need them. There are elevators so the facility is very accessible for everyone. The entire facility including bathrooms are super clean. Perfect location for getting dinner and beers before relaxing in a recliner and enjoying a movie. Great for date night location as well as family outings.
The loyalty program, AMC Stubs card, is worth the $ 12 a year. Every $ 100 you get $ 10 rewards. Use the loyalty card when buying tickets on their website or App because this waives the ticketing fees. The AMC Stubs card can also be used when purchasing food and drinks at the concession stand. The selection of food and drink at the concession stand is great. The soda machines are the Coca Cola touch screen machines. Love that they have the diet soda and caffeine free drinks available! The employees are also extremely friendly and make going to the movies an even better experience!!!

I love the recliners and that you can reserve your seats!
It’s a clean comfortable theater and the ticket prices are really good!

Best AMC Theater location ever! Conveniently located near the METRO off of Mill Ave. This is the most modern theater. They are the only Phoenix Metro location I know of that can scan my tickets right out of my passbook on my iPhone. Best concession selection ever with their 100 flavors of Coke machines. You can’t beat their luxury reclining seat as the most comfortable seat I’ve ever sat in to watch a movie. Seats soooo comfortable I’d take one home. Conveniently within walking distance from everything at ASU! The only reason I don’t come her every time is because they don’t have IMAX. Best movie theater experience ever, but you still need IMAX for the best move experience ever. If your movie is not in IMAX this AMC location should be #1 on everyone’s list. It also helps having very helpful and friendly people working here! =)

I really like coming to this theater for shows the convenience and comfort is the perfect way to watch a movie. No worrying to fight over seats or have to show up early to the big premiers just so you don’t end up in the front row. Instead I can go online and reserve seats for me and my friends days or weeks in advance.
Then the night of the show I can just wonder in 5 minutes before showtime, take my seat, hit the button to lay back and get comfy in the recliner and enjoy the show. How much for all of this? $ 8 a seat if you have the $ 10 AMC stubs card that also give you discounts at the concessions and $ 10 back for every $ 100 spent. It’s $ 9 after the convenience fee if you don’t have the stubs card which still a great deal.
They also validate for 4 hours for the parking garage next door so you get enough time for dinner on mill before or after the movie.
Now the one downside to these theaters is that they don’t have the best climate control. I’ve been here in summer when it’s on the warm side inside (not good with pleather seats and I have been in the winter when I have had to get up multiple times to ask for them to warm the place up. Also since people seem to be really comfortable and feel at home too many cell phones seem to pop out during the show, maybe they should install a faraday cage to block signals.
Over all this place is a winner and the rumors of them getting a liquor license to go with the new brewery being added downstairs/​next door could really up the game.

This is one of the best theatres in Phoenix. It is in Tempe. It is maintained clean and neat. The highlight of the theatre is its recliners. Very cozy and comfortable. The recliners are cleaned and maintained in a proper manner. Just like other AMC theatres, 3D is offered is Real 3D format. The screen is not as big as a IMax but worth watching for.
Since all the seats are recliners, it would be best to wait for 2 – 3 weeks to visit the theater to avoid crowd. But the seats can be reserved online. That’s a big relief. The convenience fee is a dollar. To avoid the convenience fee, it is recommended to join the AMC stubs program. For about 12 bucks, the convenience fee gets waived and you get additional perks while buying popcorn and cola.
The only expensive side is that the popcorn and colas cost a bit higher. But that cannot be avoided in a theatre like this. And personally unless it is a compulsion, one need not eat snacks here.
Overall a very good theatre in terms of screen, ticket pricing and seating with recliners. Definitely a lot better than many other theatres in Phoenix. A must see.

Its is where you want to go to watch new release movies in Tempe/​Phoenix area.
This used to be the Harkins Centerpoint and later it was MADCAP Theaters. Thankfully, they’ve completely renovated the place. State of the art auditoriums — nice chairs — a WORKING escalator, PLUS glorious A/​C! This is the future!
Comfy recliner seats in every auditorium and a nice chill atmosphere. Its never too crowded here and they have discounted prices now that it is summer and 5 dollars before noon as well. They have an unattended ICEE/​soda machine upstairs if you rock the loyalty cups.
Best of all they have reserved seating, so no waiting in line for good seats, you can pick them and choose them online or at the window. Plus its not full of noisy kids and families like Marketplace Harkins is. If you’re looking for a good theatrical experience, visit this theater.

Red reclining chairs, no I was not at a strip joint… They are even POWER chairs. You can almost fall asleep in them. When we got up to leave the couple in the row behind us looked a bit, shall we say, cozy? It is really a delightful way to see a movie.
The prices to get in during the day were AWESOME, 13 dollars for 2. However, Ihad to mortgage the house to buy a large popcorn, large soda, and a small box of milkduds, 19 dollars… More than the movie cost. Guess I was paying for those chairs…
