If you haven’t been to a Harkins theater this is a great place to start with an outdoor mall nearby. The people are always friendly, popcorn is amazing with butter and plenty of choices of flavors to add to it after they hand it to you. I really enjoy the quality of sound in Harkins, they don’t turn it up so loud do you want to cover your ears like some other competing theaters nearby. They were under construction the last time I went there, which is fine by me if they’re making it even better.

The newly remodeled theater, upgraded reclining seats, full bar and a revised menu make an evening at the movies a night to remember.

REMODELED!! The new look and comfy feel is heavenly. Harkins finally got with modern times and moved the movie experience into the 21st century. Reclining chairs, adult beverages, and a fresh coat of paint and carpeting makes going to the movies fun again. Thanks Harkins...

This is the best theatre, I would drive past an AMC to get here. They just finished a remodel in 2020, and the new rooms are amazing. Huge reclining seats, not as many people, staff is always very friendly. The absolute best part - they have on-site child care. Just buy your kid a ticket (roughly the same cost as a movie ticket) and they will watch your kid the whole time youre in your movie.

Cool theater. They serve beer and wine which is great. They have assigned seating for all theaters so when you buy your tickets you select where in the theater you want to sit.

This Harkins is near my home. It had been remodeled, menu improved, and theaters refurbished. Theres also a bar. Love the improvements. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and polite. Thank you Harkins!

Harkins is a good, clean theater with comfortable seating and a good selection of food. Their pricing is competitive, but not premium.You can count them to have first run films, many in 3D.Screens are big and bright. The sound is clear and not too loud. The surround is very good. Thats what you want when you go out to the movies. Something better than you can experience at home.The bathrooms are a little smaller than the other theaters. My wife had to stand in line, which was a disappointment.

Probably the nicest theater I have ever been to. Very clean theaters and great staff. AND RECLINING SEATS!

Service could step it up a bit. Seats are a bit out dated, dirty and losing the cushion..Popcorn is always decent. Drink selection is good. And the video and audio quality is okay.

Ja
Review №22

Simple the best theatre chain around. I go the movies almost three time a month and this is my favorite theatre. Always clean, friendly, and on time. The prices for food, drink, and tickets are the best around.

Great theater! The sound and lighting of this place are amazing. I still think ticket prices are a little to high here but it balances out in the end.

The Customer Service at this location is GREAT, the staff are all so friendly and helpful. The theater has just undergone a renovation of the the lobby and the North half of the theater. The extra leg room and plush leather loungers are incredibly comfortable. The newly added bar is a great place to unwind before or after the movie, they serve beer and wine on tap (no tipping required or permitted). I highly recommend the burgers, they are surprisingly delicious.Lastly, the Cine 1 is worth the extra money for the full movie going experience. The screen is bigger than all the other auditoriums and it is equipped with an immersive sound experience which includes additional speakers on the walls, ceiling, and behind the screen. Be forewarned, once you watch a movie in the Cine 1, you will never want to watch anything in a “Regular” theater again.When I want a fun family movie night, Harkins San Tan always Delivers!

Stellar cocktails at the bar! The brand new Cine1 theater is definitely my new go to spot for all major theatrical releases. We watched Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker here and the overall experience of the Cine1 theater was absolutely phenomenal!!!

Love the new seating but very expensive, even more money if you pick a movie that is cinema 1, even for a matinee, What ever happened to good matinee pricing?Nice too they added a small bar in lobby.

Harkins has upgraded their seating to reclining chairs! I think AMC chairs are more comfortable, but I love Harkins popcorn WAY better!

Recliner seating was first class in Theater #5!...so comfortable that I could almost fall asleep... except the movie, Last Christmas, was too good️.

Harkins has really stepped up their game w/reclining seats and more than just popcorn & soda for eats & drinks including a separate bar area.

So
Review №41

Comfy assigned seating in all of the theaters. You can also purchase your tickets in advance online. Prices are normal for tickets and food... meaning too high.

Jo
Review №42

We had a great experience at this Harkins Theater. The facility is very nice and the food and service was what you would expect at a typical movie theater. I like the assigned seating, you know you wont be stuck in a bad spot after already buying the tickets. Prices seem a bit high but they all seem that way these days. But we dont do this often so its not a big deal. The sound system was great. Well be back again.

Review №44

Love this theatre! Even on a Friday or Saturday night, patrons are generally respectful in the theatre, the theatre is clean and well kept, and staff are pretty friendly. Concessions run well considering volume and it is pretty easy to park here. Popcorn is always fresh and ready and the often have the better showtimes for the latest movies. If you want a great movie experience, I would recommend coming here.

Review №45

Popcorn perks, loyalty cups, best popcorn anywhere. I’ve never had a bad experience going to any Harkins for the last 18 years. We have friends and family from out of state that talk about the amazing movie theater we have so close by.My only suggestion: assigned seats ticketing. The Flagstaff location has it and it only made the experience better!

Review №46

My family and I visit this Harkins on a regular basis because we love the area and it has the play center. We have never had any issues with making a reservation for our child so that we can enjoy a movie. The place is kept clean and lines are normal from any other Harkins weve gone to.

This was my first time being here. The movie was great but we were able to hear the other movie being played next to us. Due to prompt acknowledgement it was taken care of, by others. Would I go back? Probably so.

Review №52

I dont go to Harkins much, but I saw Rise of Skywalker because I went with my brothers who do. So this review is not from someone who has frequented Harkins for at least a couple of years.I was glad that they have started assigned seating and that they have reclining seats. They were comfortable seats, but the reclining feature has a major flaw.... If you lay your head back while reclined you end up looking at the ceiling. You have to lift your head up unsupported to look at the screen, which definitely takes away from the comfort of the recliner.Also, Im not someone who usually buys concessions, but with such a massive saga coming to an end I expected some novelty items. I saw many posts from people online showcasing the cups that look like lightsabers and novelty popcorn tins, but they had nothing... It didnt really stand out that final Skywalker saga movie was any different than any other movie happening at the theater. Its a Thursday showing guys. Anyone who is a major fan and can work it in their schedule to be there is going to be there. Do you not like money? So confusing.

I am consistently SO impressed by the childcare staff at the Play center. My little guy loves to go there, and they call him by name! Lorraine is truly one of a kind! We go out of our way to go here SPECIFICALLY for her!!The only constructive criticism I have would be that when we picked him up tonight (Lorraine wasnt there) we was carrying and drinking from another kids cup. Cold and Flu season is no joke! I was a little bothered to see this...Otherwise ALL THE STARS!!

Tuesday Night Classics are amazing. I got to see Some Like it Hot on the big screen. I love that they show old movies so much. I got to see Do the Right Thing too. They should advertise them more because its incredibly cool.

We love coming here, especially Thursday nights when new releases are ACTUALLY released! Love the rewards program too, its easy to get 200 points to reach the reward of $5 off concessions (using the rewards cups, of course!)

Seats are comfortable, ticketing is easy in the app, ample parking, easy to find but it takes forever to get popcorn and drinks. Plan on arriving 30 minutes prior to showtime to get to your assigned seat before the previews are over.

Fun environment to enjoy a movie. Kids play center is available here too where staff appears to be attentive to children and focused on keeping them safe to include identification wrist bands for parents/caretakers and children. Bathrooms and theaters appear to be clean and maintained. Staff here is always friendly, fast, and attentive to customers - a nice team that seems to be in sync. This theater does not appear to be understaffed which makes it easy to purchase snacks and still make it to your movie on time. Stadium seating is available here. Reclining seats would make this movie theater PERFECT. Who knows whats coming in the future?? Either way, I recommend visiting this theater.

I love Harkins....but....not this location. The theatre is at the backside of a very crowded shopping mall with massive amounts of traffic & pedestrians.I see a lot of movies and I sometimes cut it very close to start time and my arrival time.The extra minutes it takes to navigate through the shopping area & traffic and then a good walk to Theatre (parking lot is far from theatre) takes extra time I sometimes dont have.Only come to this location if you are running ahead of schedule

Normally my go-to movie theater. But its under a major renovation, the first half is nearing completion. Once thats done the other half will be remodeled. That explains why there are so few showings now -- only half of the theater is operational.

My wife texts more then normal when she is off work, after finding out she was sitting in a movie while texting me, I pulled the you shouldnt text during the movie card. With a little text attitude stated she was the only one in the theatre.....rules are rules. I decided to call and make a formal complaint. Thank you for the professional team and specifically Abraham for going into the theatre to let my wife know NOT to text me during the movie!!!!! I was able to go back to work with a smile. OH, the staff was laughing when she left hahahahahahah.

We watched the new Captain marvel movie at Harkins. Great movie. Audience clapped afterwards. The start is a little slow but then it becomes all action through to the end of the movie. Plus a lot of humorous lines added to the environment. I would recommend it to all marvel fans.

Great theater, good matinee prices. Real food (including plant based) at the counter. As with most theatres, brace your self for impact when the total price shows....although in their defense, they offer a free refill on beverages and popcorn. This place offers childcare, but I dont think they have a bar here....

Friendly staff, clean theaters. Lots of annoying people making noise with their popcorn . Otherwise, its a great place to catch a mainstream movie. The Harkins at Superstition Springs usually has a better selection of interesting films, but the San Tan Village 16 is more convenient for me. Parking is very easy here too.

Only been to this one a few times and always a good experience. Clean theatres and friendly staff. If you plan to go-to a lot of moves at a Harkins plan on buying the reward program for free popcorn each time and loyalty cups too save on drinks all year long.
