    A movie theater where you can get tickets for $3.50 AND snackies for less than $20?! WHAAAAT?! Count me IN!! I currently have a love/hate relationship with social media, but I'm so glad I came across a post showcasing this glorious theater located in Tempe! I was going to try it out by myself but the Crazy Cat Lady (if you follow me on the gram, you know who that is, lol) decided to come out from the boonies on a whim, so we went. We saw "Weapons" and it had us hooked to the end! No, the seats don't recline (they do lean back a little) or have swingy table tops for your snackies, but they have cup holders and they're not cloth seats, so for $3.50 (and $2.95 every Thursday) you really can't complain! The theater was clean and the nostalgic decor make for a very enJOYable experience. There's also an arcade in the front lobby to the left once you enter. My only little gripe is that the restrooms are on opposite ends, but that's a very minor setback. The concession stand has all the basics: popcorn, nachos, hot dogs, pretzels, candy and drinks. We got the combo deal for $11.95, which includes a medium drink, medium popcorn AND a hot dog (or pretzel). We ordered an additional small drink and the total came out to $15 and some change. I don't know about you, but I know a good deal when I see one and this here is pretty epic in today's economy! Of course the movies shown here are a few months old, but I love that because that means it's not crowded at all. I can't stand a packed theater. This would be a great place for a birthday party, team-building or just a simple no frills kinda date! There's a bunch of pic opps in here, too. Have yourself a blast and don't forget to take a pic with Chewie, like me! Lol!

    Summer break in my youth was spent at the movie theater. I have a vivid memory of the ticket prices being raised from $3 to $3.50 and being so mad. Fast forward 30+ years and you can imagine my excitement to pay $3.50 for a movie ticket! With cheap seat theaters you make the assumption there's going to be holes in the screens, broken seats, shotty sound and sticky floors however, pollack had none of the above. I caught two flicks today and both theaters were perfectly acceptable. In today's economy any night out comes with the expectation of the price tag going into three digit territory quickly. Pollack takes you back in time both in value and entertainment. You can even stick around and play street fighter 2 in the lobby/arcade. Call me "The Terminator" because "I'll be back"!

    I love the selections and how packed the place gets, you can really feel the love for movies everyone in there has when a big event unfolds. Only gripe I have is the fact they play ai movies, why? If it's to keep the lights running I get it but I am not a fan, otherwise, love this place

    Best discount theater I've been to. You can tell the owner has a true passion for movies and for keeping that culture alive. The popcorn is delicious and freshly popped, and the whole experience makes you feel fully immersed in the magic of going to the movies.

    Me and my husband have been wanting to check out this theater for some time. It is definitely unique, from the many collectibles to video games in the front. Love the idea of being able to catch an "older" movie for $3.50. Snacks are decently priced too. I was able to get the Pollack combo for less than $12. It included a hot dog, drink and medium popcorn. The theater was kept clean. I wish the chairs reclined all the way back, but it was nice that they did have a little rock in them. Definitely a great option for the kiddos.

    My girlfriend told me about this theater. We came here to see Fly Me to the Moon earlier this afternoon. Seats were super comfortable, concessions more affordable than AMC or Harkins and the staff were very friendly. So cool to see all of the statues and memorabilia

The most recent movie I saw was Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and I had an absolute blast watching it. When the theater first opened, I remember being warmly greeted by the staff, and I also like that you can purchase tickets online in advance. Being able to purchase tickets online in advance makes things a lot easier, as you can avoid waiting until the last minute and missing out on the best seats in the theater. One thing I really like about the theater is that their food is great. While it is a bit pricey, I really enjoy their food and their popcorn. Some of my favorite popcorn flavors are parmesan and herb, as well as white cheddar. I also like the theater's atmosphere, as it is nice and cool inside, which is perfect when you are looking to escape the intense summer heat. If anyone in Tempe is looking for a great movie theater with great popcorn, I highly recommend Tempe Majestic 7.

We both ordered the Chipolet Chicken sandwich he wanted regualar fries and I upgraded for the southwest fries. He had the fried chicken and I had the grilled. People that came to the theater after us were being served their order before us. It took almost 30 minutes before our order arrived.Both fries were cold and I didn't get my southwest fries. The server said he would go get them for me. I waited almost 10 minutes and got another server and after another 20 minutes the southwest fries arrived. The cheese was stone cold. I barely touuched them and the sandwhich had chicken on one side and no meet on the other side. After the movie, I requested to see the manager. The manager came and instead of apologizing he was combative. Stating to me that the southwest fries were not cold because he plated them . Saying to me " what do you want me to do?" Also stating that he is glad they have cameras, because he wants to get to the bottom of this. But never just apologizing. I informed him how my sandwhich had no chicken on 1/2 of it and he said that is the way they measure it. It was gross the way I was treated and I was reasonible. I told him I have no problem paying for my sons dinner and both drinks, but not mine. He accommodated me but was not apologetic. I have been going for years to this theater and it seems that the food has been inconsistant. The manager seemed more like he didn't care. I thought I would let you know. You go to have a good night. You indulge by ordering food to enjoy the whole experience. I shouldn't have rebuttals when I am telling him (and on camera), what I received as a customer.

Didn't really know what to…read moreexpect vibe wise, but I just knew that the IMAX is a separate area from the rest of the Harkins here. You enter through the different doors and then get your ticket scanned. For screenings where you can get the commemorative film strip, they hand them out AFTER the screening, while supplies last. I went to the first screening of the day and will continue doing that to guarantee I get the film strips :) I got there relatively early so I had plenty of time to order concessions, they have the exact same menu as the standard Harkins. After getting my mandatory cinnamon pretzel and cherry coke (my unbeatable movie theater snack duo), I made my way to the theater. Screen is gigantic! So cool that we have one in the valley. I got my seat at the middle of the very top row, which I did enjoy because the seats were separated in batches of 4-5, so I didn't have to walk past 10+ people to get to my seat. This is also the row where they have a couple spaces for wheelchair accessible seating. One thing I didn't expect was the rows to be so close to each other, so even though I was at the top row, there were some taller people in the lower rows that would block your view of the bottom of the screen if they were directly in front of your seat. I find that unfortunate, since the point of going to the IMAX is being able to see everything presented on the screen. Still need to figure out which seats are technically the best here. Audio and lighting was intense, not sure if that's for every movie or just The Odyssey but I felt like I was on the journey with them. I already got my tickets to go see Dune 3 in December :) very excited!

One thing I really liked is that the IMAX theater is separate from the regular theaters and has its own dedicated area, including concession stands and bathrooms. It makes the experience feel a little more premium and less crowded. Concessions are priced exactly how you'd expect at a movie theater, but the food was actually pretty solid. We ordered the chicken tenders combo along with popcorn and a drink. If you order a combo meal, you place the order at the counter and then wait in a separate pickup area where they bring the food out to you. The tenders came out piping hot and the fries were crispy. They also have extra butter dispensers if you want more, which I always do. The IMAX screen is HUGE and the sound system was excellent. Honestly, there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the house. We sat in G21/G22, which looked close to center on the seating chart, and the view was fantastic. Nice bonus that there's also an elevator available for guests who need accessible access to the upper seating areas. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the seating. The seats were standard theater seats that rocked slightly. They were comfortable enough, but reclining seats with tray tables would have made the experience much better, especially since any food you order basically has to be eaten from your lap. One small touch that stood out: before the movie started, a staff member made a live announcement reminding everyone to silence and put away their phones. Most theaters just play a prerecorded message now, so that felt surprisingly personal and appreciated. Overall, a really enjoyable IMAX experience and definitely worth checking out for big blockbuster movies.

They also have limited engagements and monthly signatures, along with new releases of course. They always seem to have a good discount going on something, so if you're looking to spend under $10/ticket be sure to check their website or app for the best deals. This location has a full bar in the lobby with many regional beers on tap. You can also order food while in the theater and the friendly servers will bring it to the table between each pair of seats! Wednesdays they have a $5 menu for popcorn, pretzels and more. This is one of few places I can eat popcorn without any digestion issues...not something I can say at the larger rival theaters! The theaters are clean and spacious. While the chairs don't have automated controls to recline, they are large, comfortable and spaced apart so you're not rubbing elbows with the stranger next you. They have a lot of quirky and nostalgic advertisements and videos to watch before the movie starts. You may enjoy these more than your feature film! A few drawbacks are 1) the theaters are smaller than most...so if you're looking to watch a hot new release it may be hard to find seats during prime time. 2) Given the smaller theater, the screen is also on the smaller size. 3) As they deliver food during the movies, you may have workers walking by you often depending your seat choice. Their system isn't foolproof as I had them deliver me food for other people and watch my food go to other people. Overall, if you're looking to avoid the larger theaters and have some older-fashioned fun, this is a great place to visit!

Most recently, I was here for a screening of Tony hosted by A24. It was a pretty straightforward process of registering online then showing up relatively early because the seating was first come, first served. Screening started at 7pm so I showed up at 6pm and there was already a good amount of people in line but I was hopeful. What they didn't make super clear was that the line was only for General Admission, and there was already an unknown number of people in the theater that got in first due to some kind of Priority Access. Not sure how they got that. All us common folk waited in line - which moved very slowly, until around 7:55pm. Then, one of the managers told us 5 minutes before the screening that the seating was full. I feel like there was a chance to tell us a bit earlier, since there were still about 50 of us waiting in line. I was about 15 people away from getting in, but they could have told the people at the very back of the line that it was unlikely they would get in so that they wouldn't waste their time waiting. Not a super big deal - it was a free screening - but the manager showed us a QR code to scan and fill out a google form to get priority access to a screening the following week. Maybe the priority people that day were rejects of a previous day... very enlightening. What she didn't specify is that the screening was at a Harkins location in Scottsdale - and that was only clear after filling out the form and getting an email about it days later. Don't know why they were gatekeeping information; I would have preferred to know more details upfront. I ended up getting a ticket to a different movie that also started at 7pm, so at least my theater outing wasn't wasted. Staff at the concessions is quick- it's just the customers that are sometimes so slow in deciding what they want to order. Appreciate that this harkins has the recliner seats. Overall, I just want the organization of the screenings to be better.
