AMC Deer Valley 30

Very bad theatre, very small screen 30 with no a/​c at all, it was close to 100 F inside

We headed over to my old movie home AMC 30, where I’ve been going to since my teens but I haven’t been in quite awhile. I took my daughter to see the Jungle Book. We went out for a quick dinner prior to the movie, with tip that meal was about $ 20. Now, you may be asking me… Ali…why are you telling us about your dinner when we’re on the AMC Unilocal profile? Well let me tell you friends why that is relevant… we bought our tickets, no big deal, I was around $ 12 for us, we went around 5ish and my daughter is only 5… so kid pricing. Yay! We stopped at the snack bar. We had, you know just eaten but she really really wanted popcorn and a slushie… 1 Small popcorn (which was not at all small), 1 medium Slushie (small doesn’t exist and it was a pretty big one) and 1 medium soda (also, I would have said large on this one too) $ 17 and change. Seriously? Are you SERIOUS? My dinner at a sit down restaurant was LESS than the snack bar for 2 drinks and popcorn? I spent more at the snack bar than for the ACTUAL TICKETS? Insane. While AMC 30 has nostalgia for me, and we may be back, we for sure, will NEVER, No, Not Ever, Not Even IF I AM STARVING, plan to visit the snack bar again. Remember when Harkins started doing the shakers of popcorn flavors and they’re just chilling for you to use whenever? Well AMC like that idea, but, heres the catch .45 cents for a small container. Way over priced, Do not ever go and get snacks there, if you’re a snack and movie person, go some place else, this place is so catastrophically over priced on their food and drinks its insane. That being said, movie was good and the theater was completely empty.

Well today my girlfriend, our kids and myself were asked to leave movie after having watched ½ of it. Someone complained that her son was being disruptive, he’s 2 btw. He was getting restless, and so being very respectful individuals, I asked her to step with him for a moment to calm him down. She reentered the theatre about 30 minutes later, with him and he was calm. About another 15 minutes pass and in walks an employee, that signals to us that she wanted to speak to us outside. We were then told they got several complaints about her son, and that we’d have to leave. I explained to her that my girlfriend and her son had been out of the theater for nearly the last 30 minutes or so. She said nothing she could do, it upset me because my 3 kids were still inside watching the movie. I explained to her that we paid our money just like everyone else. She then responds with «Well we can refund you your money for the tickets and give you passes to come and watch it again at a later time. At this point I became even more upset, and the employee decided to call her general manager, who btw looks about 20 years younger than she did. He tells me that we can not go back into the theater and that all he can do is refund our money. The best part about it is, I pay annually for the stubs reward card, I frequent the movies. We visit the movies maybe 6 – 8 times a month, which means we spend very good money there. I told the so-​called general manager whom was dressed in a t-​shirt and not formally dressed as a manager of AMC should be, that we will be gladly taking our business elsewhere such as Harkins theaters, he told me «Have a good day sir». I will literally never again step foot into another AMC again after being disrepected as we had been today.

I was here for a screening of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was pretty impressed with the theatre. Seemed clean and staff was friendly. This theatre has the Coca-​Cola freestyle machines awesome! The size small drink is about the size of a large at McDonalds but you get free refills. The theatre seats don’t recline which is the main reason I’m giving 3-​stars, however, there was plenty of leg room

First time at this theater. We went up to the window and noticed that there was no one there, in which a sign stood, see customer service for tickets. Then we wait in line (1 couple in front of us) and one of the 2 people went outside to get cups and waited for them to return before paying instead of just letting us pay and them stepping aside. 1 person helping with a nearly empty theater for snacks.
We sat down, then had 4 guys come in during the movie chewing popcorn with their mouths open while my fiancé and I were trying to watch. We then moved to another spot in the theater, and another couple halfway through the movie sat next to us (keep in mind there was only about 8 people in the whole theater) and thought it was a good idea to talk to each other right in the middle of the movie.
Although this feedback reflects the theater, I can only say that I feel this theater could have done a better job at customer service. Probably won’t come back here again especially since there’s a Harkins Theater right off Happy Valley which has better crowds as it’s in a better area.

I haven’t been to an AMC theater in probably 10 years. I stopped goin because I felt their prices were always higher and their locations were always dirty.
My wife and I saw Star Wars at a new Prime location in Burbank, CA and were totally impressed. So, I figured we could give the local one a shot.
Just by entering the lobby, we could tell things haven’t changed. There was smashed popcorn EVERYWHERE in the lobby. Straw wrappers and other random crap scattered through out. How hard is it to send 1 – 3 people out with a broom and dustpan? You had 3 sitting behind the «self-​serve» snack counter???
We got to our seats, hoping that at least the «Prime» experience would be the same. NOPE! Did we happen to pick the only two seats that weren’t cleaned? Or the only two seats with broken controls? Or is it more likely that this is the overall condition of the entire theater???
I think it’s the third one…
Oh, and how hard is it to start on time? They didn’t roll the previews until 10min after the start time.
We won’t be back, even if we had free passes.

Pro: clean. Friendly staff. Not crowded. Early Bird adult ticket prices. $ 5.40 for a 1250pm movie
Cons: theater felt a little small. And the sound wasn’t as powerful as other AMC’s.
**** location is close to home I would return
Self service butter so ask for half bag of popcorn then get butter and return for them to top you off.

My husband and I love coming here for date night! This is our favorite theaters to visit since this location is never overly crowded. The place is huge and very well kept.

If you prepay for the first showing of the day prepaid to be pizsed off. had the outside kiosk worked properly we would not have had a 100 person rush in the doorstop the one inside. the line to buy tickets was 5 people and 90 plus in line for the speedy checkout to get prepaid tickets.

This place is Anti-​American, Anti-​constitution, Anti-​2^nd Amendment, Anti-​Gun, Anti — Personal Protection, and Provide NO SECURITY. It can happen and it has happened. Without the rights granted by God and Country to protect my family NO one in any part of my family will ever return here.

I really liked this theatre. The only problem I had was that their concession prices are way out of whack with typical movie theatres and that their employees were not very hospitable. Other than that it is a great place to go watch a movie at

I am extremely unimpressed with the staff at this theatre. I purchased my tickets online for Star Wars opening weekend for an IMAX showing at 9am for myself and my son. We showed up at the theatre this morning at 8am, knowing there would be a line and we were probably the 15 and 16^th people to arrive. The theatre wasn’t open, so we stood outside in the cold talking with the others in line, including many families with small children. The line continued to grow towards the parking lot and quickly. At about 8:30, a staff member came out and moved us all to line up along the vacant ticket counter across the plaza from the ticket counter they usually open. Shortly after, they opened the ticket counter opposite us, and began selling tickets and letting those people walk in the door while the entire line continued to wait and stand in the cold. No one let us in, and once we realized people were skipping the line they had us formed, we all pushed forward to the theatre, where we again had to wait to use the kiosks to obtain our tickets, all the while, people who hadn’t been waiting were let in before us.
When I said something to the staff, they had no idea what they had done was in anyway wrong. They likely would have just let us sit out there.
I was amazed that on opening weekend of such a major film, full well knowing they had people lined up, that they would mishandled this as poorly as they did. While this is the closest IMAX to my home, I will drive the extra few miles from now on to another for better service.

Came here for something to do after dinner. Saw the Martian in 3d. The four stars are really for the great prices this offers. It was about $ 10 for a 3d movie, can you believe that?! Some of the seats in the theatre were pretty work or stained. Overall, it’s exactly like any other amc. It was relatively empty on a Thurs night even for a new release.

Exceptional customer service! Very clean theaters. No sticky floors! Bathrooms are always clean.
Please get NEW recliner seats!!!

My preferred movie theater in Phoenix! I love this theater! It’s in a really nice spot — lots of places to eat outside or relax around it before you go in. theaters are always clean… staff very friendly and helpful.

Nolan was so patient and had a great attitude towards our indecisive group. He was awesome!:)

After coming to this location for many years this is still one of AMC’s better locations. They are conveniently located off of Loop 101. They have modernized this theater over the years. The parking is good. People who work here are helpful and very friendly. I live in Chandler, so this theater is not convenient for me, but they do have IMAX so I do come here when the show time is convenient. =)

They have a shadow cast of rocky horror! That’s amazing! They are amazing! Amc is amazing to support the longest running movie in history, and having such a talented cast shadow it! Amc should promote THAT more! Specially with the 40^th anniversary of rocky horror and all

Great Theater, amazing staff and beyond this they have the Rocky Horror Picture Show Playing Each Month!!!
I refuse to see a movie anywhere else.

I wonder if the reason why this theater is about 60% empty (less than half of the 30 theaters being used) is because of the offensive ticket and concession prices. Harkins is always busy and this place is always dead. If it wasn’t for IMAX, this place would be out of business.

Needs some serious work. The theaters are not always clean, there isn’t any kind of consistency as to when one movie starts and another begins, and they’ve whittled away at all the discounts you used to be able to get.
The concessions are on the more outrageous side here. This visit (which will be my last to this theater — possibly the entire chain) I ordered a small popcorn for $ 5.79 (bad enough!!!) and they only filled it two-​thirds full. Ridiculous. I’m super disgusted. I’ll just go to Harkins next time. At least there I can get a soda for a $ 1.50 with my cup.
