iPic Theaters

Saw finding dory on a Tuesday at 5:15. Was not crowded at all. I paid the extra $ 10 for the VIP seats up top. Let me tell you, these seats are comfortable! And they recline a lot! They provide a pillow and blanket too! And you get free popcorn! That’s already worth the extra $ 10!
We also had the service from a waiter and our guy was great. Wish I got his name. But very quick and easy and great menu! We both had a pizza. The margerhti and the meat lovers one. Both were delicious!!! The screen quality was very good. All in all I’m very happy with this place. The inside is immaculate and clean. The bathrooms are beautiful and clean as well! Ladies up front were very nice and helpful to describe what it’s like since it was my first time!

Last weekend was my first trip to IPIC and I really didn’t find a reason to return. I agree with a previous review that the seats are an issue. We bought the $ 16 seats, not the VIP but stillI would expect to be more comfortable than I would be in a regular theatre. I was not. I couldn’t get comfortable and my low back hurt for three days.
Also, we spent $ 43 on food– 2 popcorns, 2 drinks and chicken strips for the kids. The popcorn was so salty I had to go ask for a new bag. The gentleman working in concessions was kind put out by my request and when I asked for butter he quickly added about a teaspoon full and shoved the popcorn at me like I was a total inconvenience. My daughter ate two bites of the chicken and said it was gross. I took a bite and have to agree — slimy and greasy. My son ate the rest all but said they were’t good at all. They do get 5 stars for the lemonade and water though.
I had high hopes for the place but sadly it didn’t work out.

Great theater. Popcorn is hot and good taste. Comfortable chairs but don’t get one that is at the top of the stairs you’ll be inconvenienced when people go up and down

What an awesome way to watch a movie. This is a once in awhile place of your going to get the premier plus seats that serve you while at your seats. A little pricey but worth the experience.
The seats recline they give you a pillow and blanket. You get your own server to bring drinks and food plus free popcorn. Very comfortable very relaxing very enjoyable.
Will be coming back in the future. The food was good had the pulled pork grilled cheese the gf had a wrap that was good. Must try

I love iPic in that I don’t like crowds and I hate the seat roulette, I also love being waited on :)
I am almost at a gold membership for this year, seriously Im there a few times a month, and there is only one reason this isn’t a 5 star (it used to be).
The seats are becoming uncomfortable, I have even sat in a seat that was broken and the back would click in and out when I would recline (I only sit in premium). The back support is starting to lose the stuffing and I have been using my pillow and blanket to fill in. The seats are also becoming a bit stained.
I am hopeful that they will begin to re-​stuff their seats and apply new coverings. Right now I have taken to ordering seats on the sides as they have less wear than the center seats I prefer.

I love Ipic. I just moved here from IL and was super excited to see that there was an Ipic out here.
Anyway… This location has a beautiful lobby. I appreciate that there is more premium plus seating. I also appreciate the individual swivel tables. And the service was great.
Only thing to improve are the upholstery. It’s stained and kinda gross. I looks like they clean them as best they can; but that fabric stains. They should change to leather like they did at the Bolingbrook, IL location. It’s cool enough in there so you won’t stick to it.

Just went for first time… AMAZING! Very comfortable recliners with a pillow and soft blanket. Delivered a great Mulligan mule… superb wait staff. Prefect date night!!!

After their comment on the review about taking reviews seriously, I sent them a message about the theater, movie and my email address. No response from them.

I’m bumping them up to 5 Stars. This is, literally, the ONLY place we go when we want to see a movie. I have problems sitting too long at one time, so this is the place for me.
Bumping it up to 5 Stars because I see they’ve added to their menu — I’d suggest they add to their menu as they do their monthly specials and find out what interests us. I appreciate the wider selections that they have on the menu now (AND, even decent sounding dessert items now, too!!!)

We’ve been coming here for about 4 years with no problems until the last two times. It is showing wear. Today’s visit: stinky dirty chairs. Left over food stains, and the worst; it smelled like greasy head sweat in the seats! I had to change clothes when I got home. Nasty. I heard Desert Ridge has similar. Going there for cheaper and better.

The food and drinks here are par. It’s the service that causes the two star deduction. I come here weekly and there is always new ppl EVERY WEEK. I know the menu better than them and it’s super annoying. I wish turnover wasn’t so often

This is the most excellent theatre experience ever. Since we started going here, we have stopped going anywhere else. The reclining seats are so comfortable with the pillow/​blanket, the food is really good, and you have access to a full bar. I go with my bf a lot, and my kids love it too. This place is fabulous and changes the movie experience completely for the better :)
I have to say I find it funny when people compare iPic to Studio Movie Grill. That’s like comparing Mastros to McDonalds, or Michael Jordan to anyone else. iPic is in a whole different league.

Such an awesome place to just sit back on a recliner and free small popcorn on the premium plus seats when you get your ticket got a little dessert and very delicious.

I’m a little bit concerned when I read the reviews of this theater and see people doubting whether they change out the used pillows and blankets between showings. Then Karen, the theater rep replies and doesn’t clarify this specific issue. This to me is a clear admission that they do NOT wash them and change them out, which is disgusting, especially for the price being paid.

My boyfriend and I went on Friday night to watch the Revenant. It was suppose to start at 10:15 we arrived a little early to crab some drinks. At 10:10 we decided to head to our movie guessing it be ready, well it wasn’t. We waited for another 10 minutes for the room theater to be clean from the previous movie. I think for the amount of money they charge they should have a better schedule on when to clean the theater rooms. I don’t even think they change the blankets nor the pillows on the seats. The only good thing about this place is the recliner seats.

Ugh, spent $ 17 on a standard seat and it was the most uncomfortable seat I’ve ever sat in. The premium seats are great, but the standard seats are too soft and the headrest is too far forward. I picked Ipic because of their self chosen seating but going to an older theater for $ 8 is better than the Ipic standard seats.
Avoid this theater until they upgrade their seats.

Decided to try iPic to see if I could get in to see Star Wars… went online, downloaded the app, selected movie time, seat and paid for it in just a few taps. Easy… Went in not knowing what to expect or how the process worked. Pleasantly surprised!!! Smooth as silk! Found my seat, pillow and blanket!!! Wow! Reclining seat! Wide arm rests!!! Not a crowded feeling! Personal service, free popcorn! Huge glass of ice water!!! PERFECT!!! For future reference consider purchasing a gift card to pay for your food/​drink choices… nice variety on the menus. Have recommended iPic to family and friends. Will be back!
Downloading the app will make your iPic experience even better… great venu, movie times, concept and service! Thank you!

I wish Cali had a theatre like this where I live. I love how someone can take your order for you while you watch a movie (on a recliner), sip on a cocktail, wine, or beer. I love their self serve vending machine for wine too!

iPic… why?
First, the positives:
You can reserve the seats you like
There is a wall between your seat and the row in front/​behind you — so folks can put their feet up without kicking each other
Then, the less positives:
Small theater (ergo small screen).
Almost twice as expensive as the regular theater.
At-​your-​seat-​service only if you buy the even-​more-​expensive tickets
No low back support in the ‘cheap’ seats — had to roll my sweatshirt up and put it behind me.
No Gluten Free offerings (other than popcorn)
Parking at Scottsdale Quarter is suboptimal in general
Things that weren’t their fault:
Star Wars, The Force Awakens —

Went there last night to theatre 6 and sat in H4 I had to sit on 2 pillows and the blanket the springs were so sunk in very work out seat. Drinks used to come in real glasses now they come in huge ugly plastic cups with lids. The food was amazing as always just seems the actual theatre is cheating out on seats and customer service. Coke here all the time hoping next time it’s better.

$ 75 to see a movie (two people)
Premium seating: If you are 6“0 or taller, your feet will hit the chairs in front of you when you recline. Great food, good service. I’ve done it once, probably won’t be doing it again. If you want good food and good drinks, try a different spot other than a movie theatre.

Loveeeeee this theater! Once you start coming here it will be hard to go back to a Harkins ever again. The key is to join the FREE rewards program on their website so the prices go down a little. We went last night to see Star Wars & didn’t get tickets early enough so we had to sit down at the lower level seats that don’t recline :(they were OK, I wasn’t nearly as comfortable as I wanted to be, but for that one movie, I will be ok. So make sure to get the recliner chairs up top, comes with free popcorn and water. I always get a glass of wine & my boyfriend a beer. They used to have drink specials on Tuesday but yesterday we found out that they no longer do that, boo.

I am blown away by the electric seats and service. What a wonderful experience and memory with son watching star wars! First class all the way and no issue paying $ 14 for an ale. Look forward to next memory. Had an amazing time!

I set my expectations too high. 2 tickets with a membership were close to $ 50. A few drinks before the movie were another $ 40. We were allowed into the theater 5 minutes before the movie was scheduled to start. It was just enough time to order another drink and some food. At this point everything seemed to be going ok, until I sat back in my seat.
THE SEAT I SAT IN HAD A RESTRICTED VIEW. The railing for the stairs was blocking the bottom left 10% of the screen. This was incredibly annoying during a 3D movie. I had to watch the movie while leaning on my side. It was extremely uncomfortable.

This is concerning a visit on 11÷26÷15.
I understand that working on a holiday might not be everyones first choice, however, the patrons are paying the same money regardless of if your employees want to be there or not.
My girlfriend and I experiences horrible service when we went to an earlier showing of the Hunger Games movie. Started off when my girlfriend asked if they had any type of breakfast options (and only asked because the menu didn’t seem to have anything listed and we figured if they were open for a 9AM movie, they might have some breakfast options). We were told there wasn’t any type of breakfast offerings and then placed our order of quesadillas.
After about 10 minutes, a different server approached the people seated in front of us and was also asked about breakfast and while he said there wasn’t much did mention that they had breakfast burritos (which quite honestly was exactly what we were looking for). This is more than frustrating when you are paying the prices that Ipic charges.
Through out the movie, our server came in to check on us but apparently he missed the day when they taught them how to stay out of the patrons way and speak in a voice that wouldn’t disturb the entire theater. Every time he came in he spoke in a voice as if there wasn’t a movie going on.
Lastly, while the blankets and pillows are a nice touch, I’d caution you on staying till the lights come on. Lets just say the seats don’t appear as if they’ve ever been cleaned, the blankets are likely the same ones from when they opened, and if you drop something in the chair… leave it there because the popcorn and other crap you’ll have to dig through is disgusting. You’d think being that it was the first show of the day that they would have cleaned the night before.
Not worth the money based on this visit.

Love the concept of a theater that makes you feel like you are at home in your favorite recliner. The Premium seats recline, provide a blanket and pillow and small bag of popcorn. You have immediate attention from a server to bring you items from their expansive menu.
Bad news is this isn’t cheap. The tickets for the premium seats are easily three times the price of a regular theater. With that said, it’s worth the splurge some days.
Also, the «regular» seats are still over priced and don’t come with any of the above. In fact they are extremely uncomfortable. The position of the headrest pushes your head forward and the seats don’t recline. I would avoid these if the premium are available. Remember, no blanket, no pillow, no service and pricey. You decide.

Probably the most upscale movie theater I’ve ever been to. You’ll definitely want to reserve tickets well in advance and if you want the fancy seats you’ll pay more.
Food and drink menu is quite lavish. I had a coconut/​pineapple mocktail that was awesome. I would definitely order it again. My husband had a cocktail he enjoyed too. All of the food was excellent. Definitely pricey but you’re paying for the service and convenience.
Very nice place to come for special occasions!

I’ve had a lot of great experiences at Ipic and I’ve had a couple really bad. All in all however I think my experience with Ipic lately has been average at best. Due to their outstanding competition, mainly Studio Movie Grill, Ipic only deserves three stars. Let me explain…
The last time I visited here I wasn’t able to reserve back row seats, so my family and I ended up sitting in front. To our surprise, the front seats are self serve only and I ended up missing the beginning of the movie ordering food. The theater doesn’t even offer food runners. So after I ordered, I had to watch them prepare it.
If you’re considering going here, first consider Studio Movie Grill. ALL seats there are full service and you even get a server alert button when you need a refill or want to order more wings. Ipic doesn’t have this in their full service section, most definitely not in front either!

For my first time at this theater I saw Goosebumps in 3D. Obviously the theater, service, and seats were the best part of the experience. I have a big head and the glasses squeezed it a little and they were a little heavy, but the overall the movie experience itself was good with great picture quality and sound.
We paid the extra $ 10 for «premium plus» seating which includes free popcorn, reclining chairs, a small pillow and a throw. It’s hard for me to believe, but it’s worth it. If you get a small popcorn (free refills) for yourself it’s typically $ 5.50 then the rest for an extremely comfortable couple hour movie experience. It’s great. The staff is attentive and friendly. I would have liked a few more food choices though and it’s a bit on the expensive side with most entrees over $ 14.
The entire building is decorated very well and I heard they have couches in the bathrooms. Great place.

Love, love the style and décor. Feel like we are at a fancy club to watch movies. LOL! They have a full bar, food services, wait service, or can you order at the stand like the regular movies. We booked our tickets online. The seat were comfortable. Plenty of places to place your drink and food. Loved it!!! Plus we went to watch Magic Mike…

Recliners, food, and a movie? Aside from being pricey, what’s not to like?
The recliners are comfortable. If you order food, it can be tricky to find room to set it all down somewhere. You are offered a pillow and even a blanket (why?), which is a nice touch. Free popcorn.
There’s a bar area when you first walk in, and everything inside is clean and well-​maintained.
You pay for the experience — its not cheap here! But for a special occasion or if you’ve never been, its definitely worth it.

I am giving it three for the following reasons:
Total bill for two adults who were not quite drunk:$ 140.
Food eaten in dark and leftovers not offered (so, what exactly did we eat?)
Chairs comfortable but no room to set plate
The free popcorn was good. (Free-​he he)
I guess if I was Bill Gates I would come here all the time with my extended family. No, wait, I would buy the place. I am a simple gal, this was over the top but I did notice many fathers on their visitation day watching movies with their kids. Whatever happened to the matinée and sneaking a sandwich in to teach about the value of a dollar? Just saying…

Sold 4 stars for its trendy look.
Sold 3 for prices, food and premium seats.
The seats were very straight for my back but I like that they were wide.
It located inside the square. In front of Its Sugar.

iPic gets 4 stars and here’s why.
Reason 1: I love the concept they have. Luxury movie watching at it’s finest. It’s a great theater with great seating. Especially if you pre-​order tickets for big showings you don’t have to wait in a line to get a good seat because your seat is already assigned. I love that.
Reason 2: If you splurge on premium plus you get personal waiting service for food and alcohol. Not too shabby.
Reason 3: The restrooms are on point. Clean and nicely designed.
Reason 4: Free popcorn for premium plus seating and valet validation with your ticket!
Reason 5: This is the reason for the missing fifth star. The premium plus reclining seats are not as comfortable as they may seem. After many people reclining and laying down on these things the cushioning has worn out and I can always feel the mechanics of the chair on my butt or back. I’m always shifting my weight around because I’m so uncomfortable. Some of the trays are bent downward so they’re not fully level. It’s probably from people using them to get up from the chair. My drinks kept sliding down to one side so I had to keep an eye on it to make sure it didn’t spill on me.
Those are my reasons and I’m sticking to them. This place is great and the location is great. It’s a great date night kind of place.
