AMC John R 15

Really comfortable seats. Also, our car battery died and guest services were very helpful. We went in to ask for help, and a lady (didn’t get her name) was glad to go get jump cables from her car and wait in the cold while we started the car back up. The guy who rips tickets was also very friendly and directed us to guest services when we came in looking for help. Great staff, in my experience!

This place is outrageous.
Yes, it’s pretty and clean but… $ 10.50 for a movie is REALLY too much. I don’t know why this place gets such good reviews. I can’t see any reason to pay that much. Maybe I just haven’t been to the movies in forever.
Also, assigned seats? What??? Why is that even necessary? So I had to sit in the VERY front which makes it hard to see, and it’s in the smallest theatre ever. I guess they have to charge more for the fancy reclining seats. Stupid.
Plus, I have never been to a theatre that charges extra for popcorn seasonings. Plus, the fact that the cashier looked at me like «yeah, I know it’s too much» and was basically waiting for me to freak out about the price of my $ 4 (!!) bottled water because according to her, people ALWAYS yell at her over it. Lucky for her, I know it’s not her fault and I can read a menu.
Never again.

Nice theater. This theater is not close to our home so we have only gone there once, but the one time we went it was clean, the staff was polite and the recliners ROCK! Only way to see a movie anymore is with the recliners.

Great theater. Reserve your tickets online as those comfy leather seats can get filled quickly well before showtime for even older features. Pricier than other AMCs in the area but worth the premium for comfort and quality. The parking lot right in front can be tight on busy nights but a little waiting or walking opens things up.

I remember when matinée shows were before 5−6pm. Now they’re before noon. Won’t be coming here any longer.

This place is busy, and the parking can get a little annoying — but you will find a spot eventually. The bathrooms are GROSS. I highly suggest avoiding if at all possible — start with not getting any coke products at the concession stand — it’s a good New Year’s resolution anyway. The theater itself is pretty great — nice BIG reclining seats and great sound. Awesome way to watch a movie… if only the rest of the place were as cool.

I’d never been since AMC had taken over. What a shame. It is awesome.
Maybe it is because I came for an early show but everyone from customer to employee is pleasant. The bar wasn’t open but looks inviting for a movie drink or just a drink in general. The concession is a bit expensive. I believe 20 for 2 drinks and a popcorn but small price to pay for a clean well run theater. The only problem I have is with the seats. Every seat is a recliner and they are so comfortable that it a few people around us were sleeping and I could easily see myself in the future going to a show I wouldn’t like just so I could sleep.
I think I just found my new mainstream theater. Thanks Staff!

My favorite local movie theater. The seating is super comfy and all updated to the recliner style seats. You can also pre-​reserve your seats online to obtain your favorite location without worry.
I will say that the staff on curtains shifts need some customer service training. There have been many time where’s we were treated rudely at the food counter. I did report one particular incident to a manager and he handled the issue right away.
Also if you order food and have to wait for it to come out, be sure to get your receipt or they will not give you your food.
This location has a bar as well.

I would rather wait and see movies at the Dollar theater next time. There’s much better service and popcorn at other places.
Positive:
* It’s nice they hire disabled people.
* The seats are nice, big, and comfortable.
Negative:
* When I was at the butting station some of the cleaning crew were standing between me and the customer service desk. One of them asked the others if they have you cleaned two, five and seven yet. The reply was, «Bro don’t gimme ‘dat today… (incoherent mumbling) … That Fu***in’ a** don’t tell me. I do what when I got the time». This was said with a woman and her two kids about kindergarten age next to me and another family at the concession stand. There were also three people in customer service that looked like managers that should have taken action for the vulgarity. Nothing was done. The offender just sauntered off.
* The people that I bought my ticket from were more interested in their conversation about what they’re planning to do for Halloween than selling me and my lil brother a ticket.
* The lady standing behind of the register at the concession stand didn’t acknowledge me when I walked up. She only looked at me after I said hello. After a minute she called another lady over to take my order. The second lady sighed and said hello like I was bothering her. I asked for a large buttered popcorn. She brought it and I paid for it but she never added butter. I asked again for butter and she looked at me like I was crazy. Then she pointed off to the right and said, «You get that there». It would have been appropriate for her to point out that they are now only have self buttering.
* The management must not care at all.

I think I have been to this location once before a really long time ago. It had been so long ago though that I didn’t remember what it looked like on the inside. So, when my friend suggested we go here, I was excited to reacquaint myself. I was impressed! They have a nice large bar area that looks really modern and new. It would be a nice area to sit and pass some time while you wait for your show to start. And the seats are amazing! They are pretty red, cushioned, reclining seats. You feel really relaxed, almost like you’re watching a movie at home.
The one thing that I can do without is probably the assigned seating. I’m used to walking into the theater and choosing my seat after I see the set-​up. Having to select your seat before you see the actual theater is a little different for me. And people were very serious about their assigned seats. Personally, I’d just prefer to have first-​come, first-​serve seating once you enter the theater and see the set-​up.

why the heck haven’t I reviewed this theatre yet? I’ve been coming to this theatre before the recliner seats came along, it’s actually the first theatre in Michigan I went to back in 2003 to watch New York Minute!
… so obviously since then there’s been a huge turn around, mainly because of those comfortable seats you can literally fall asleep on, but there are other things too… like their coca cola machine which has every freaking flavor you can think of! I almost always get the fanta strawberry since I can’t get it anywhere else! (they also have mellow yellow — similar to Mountain Dew)
Aside from the drinks, I’ve recently discovered for 50 cents more you can get your popcorn flavored! Now I know what you’re thinking, other theaters like MJR have free seasoning, but I like the little seasoning packet they give at AMC actually, it’s perfect for the pack of popcorn, so you don’t over do it!
How about the rewards card? you can upgrade your small popcorn to a large for the same price, and when you purchase tickets online they don’t charge you the online fee, so go ahead and get yourself one and collect them points while you’re at it!

This AMC location is a very nice location do not get me wrong, it’s just not in the perfect location. It is near an older mall and some outdated outlets
The reclining seats are nice, but not as nice as the ones at Emagine Macomb, (If you want more of a luxury experience, go there!)
I really like AMC’s popcorn, and having the Coca-​Cola Freestyle is a plus.
Another plus is the McGuffins bar, which has made-​to-​order drinks that they can bring to your seat.
Also, the assigned seating is nice, so you already have seats for openings, big movies, etc.
All in all, this is a really nice theater with great amenities, it just belongs in another nicer location

Went a few weeks ago for the first time since the renovation (that I believe was many years ago). The electric recliners were more comfortable than any other theater seat I’ve been in. Reserved seats
We’re a nice perk. Great pricing for a theatre with these amenities.
Didn’t get concessions on this occasion, but I’ll be going back.

Do you love to relax at home in your Lazy Boy and watch movies? ME TOO!
So why not incorporate that into your movie going experience… whoever came up with this idea is brilliant!
I love the big comfy seats at the theater and that’s pretty much it.
The service I have always received has been sort of blah and lack luster. The popcorn and self service drink area are ALWAYS gross! By gross I mean trash everywhere not working properly, soda spilled and sticky, machines are filthy.
I wish I could say better things about this theater I really do because I love going to the movies and I love they have the big comfy chairs but cleanliness is a big deal to me in places like this and well in general.
C’mon AMC John R time to step it up!

This place is the bomb, the seating is super comfy and that’s all I really care about. So there. I mean the popcorn and soda is super expensive, welcome to America. All in all this is my theatre of choice. the screens/​seating are just right for my wife and I to cuddle up and enjoy a movie. I will be back soon.

Yea we all love the movies, but you can tell when employees don’t care, they were rude from the get go, no hi hello can I help you. Just very unpleasant and unhelpful I asked for change replied no we don’t give change, asked for complimentary water cup no they will charge you for that, and the place was dirty, drink station was trashed, bathrooms we’re dirty no towels and it seems like the worker’s just don’t care. Some one needs to come in bust the employees asses teach them some customer service and clean the place up, the movie was good but the experience sucked. Come on AMC TRY A LITTLE HARDER. Movies ain’t cheap these days.

Wow what a theater!!!
This theater has the best seats in the business. They have now set the standards for the movie going experience. Once you sit in your recliner seat, you won’t want to ever get up.
The other great thing about this place is that the drinks are on the patron side. So you don’t have to wait in line just to get a refill.
This is the theater you now want to go to for ever movie.
Enjoy!

This place has ruined me for all other movie theaters.
The whole place is just laz-​e-​boys. What a genius idea that I can’t believe nowhere else has done!
It’s all reserved seating too, which is even better! Buy your tickets online and walk in right at showtime, even on opening day!

This place has really stepped up to the plate! It used to be your run of the mill theatre but now it’s a luxury cinema. The venue itself hasn’t changed but the seating for moviegoers is far superior to any others nearby. The recliner style seats are all electronically controlled at the push of a button and go from a cushy upright into a
laid-​out, fully reclined position, with plenty of leg room for anyone who needed to get past you in the aisle. I was pretty impressed especially when I remember what this place was like before. In addition, we got to choose the seats we preferred, on their touchscreen, during payment and the staff was all very professional.

This used to be a Star Theater and it very much looks the same with a few changes since it became just an AMC Theater.
We bought our tickets through Fandango but you still have to get it validated at the box office. No big deal, we were early and didn’t have to wait. Upon getting our actual tickets, we noticed that we had assigned seats? WTF?
Here’s why: the seats for certain theaters are retro fit with reclining chairs with foot rests. The whole theater was like this and this, thus explaining why you get assigned seats. These chairs are over-​sized and über comfortable. And for a guy who is known for falling asleep in the movies, this high level of comfort almost guarantees me a 1:47 nap.
We went on a week day during the day. Ticket prices are higher because of the luxury feature but we had gift cards. Definitely coming back here again.

I LOVE AMC Theatres as a whole, but this location…
First off, the people who attended this particular location (at least the 3 or 4 times I’ve been here) all seem to be the type of people who are fine not showering for more than 3 days at a time. Why do I say that? Because I can smell the mother fuckers, that’s why! Holy Christ, can you please find a bar of fucking soap homey? But that’s not all.
Oh no, the staff just makes it all the better. Not only was the staff all clowning around behind the counter when I went for my necessities-​you know, Large Mixed Icee, Popcorn, and a Hot Pretzel-​, but they also approached me as if they were doing me a favor to take my order. You know what? I’m doing YOU a favor by paying your fucking paycheck numb nuts; so, put your phone down and stop bad mouthing your manager and take my order with the proper amount of fakeness one expects from minimum wage employees!
With all that, I have to say there was ONE good employee ONE of the times I went. I wish I had written her name down, because she deserved a shout out. She was pleasant and helpful, and when I asked if the Pretzels were actually soft, she steamed them longer because they were not. That’s what it takes, customer service. Unfortunately, that’s what this location lacks. I’m not sure what came first (the bad guest, or shitty employees), but they both NEED TA GO!
The only thing I can say about this place that some people may like, which I do NOT like, are the reclining chairs. I’d rather have the arm rests go up (like they do at the Forum 30 location), but I know some of you like the bouncy chairs, so do it up buttercup; just be sure you have infinite patience for the mental midgets that work there, and the unruly and stinky people who attend.
