I always go to Tempe Pollack Cinema, as it is locally owned, cheaper than most theatres and economical. Tghe seats are good and they clean the theatres often. They are stil the cheapest concessions for your money. More

My husband and I are avid movie goers, and enjoy seeing thought provoking movies, which we find at Tempe Cinemas. The seating is comfortable, the staff polite, which adds to the experience. Also the parking validation if you park in the parking lot is an added plus! More

You can wait and see the big movies in their non-3D versions and non-stadium seating ("classic") environment. Remember you're not paying top dollar and you should be fine. Don't expect gourmet food at the snack bar and you won't be disappointed. A good place for the price. More

The theater is a developer's contribution to the community. It usually charges $3.00 (cash only) . It is clean, has nice bathrooms and generally shows movies that are out of first run by a month or so. I would recommend it for the budget conscious, as it is located in ine of Mr. Pollack's larger strip malls, parking is easier... More

Hmmmm....Let's see. Pay $9.50 to see a movie when it first comes out or wait a bit and see it for $3.00 at a nice comfortable clean theater with plenty of restrooms, friendly people and hot popcorn. Pollack Tempe Cinema is as good as it gets. If you like going "out" to the movies this is the place to go.... More

For years we've referred to this theatre as the "cheap theatre" because it only costs $3 to see a movie. Tuesdays is "cheap night" when tickets are only $2. You can't beat that! It's a normal theatre with many movie selections, although the movies have been out for a couple months. I've got it saved in my favorites on my... More

The theater is a great place to catch some of the movies you missed in the MEGAPLEXES! Sometimes the Copies arent that great but still a whole lot of fun for movie buffs. More

Michael Pollack is very committed to the east valley community and he brought us this great multi-plex theater with movies available at lower costs than anywhere nearby. More
