AMC Forum 30

Went for imax star wars. Seats were very uncomfortable compared to newer theaters. If you charge a premium price you should give premium conditions. But the worst thing was that being it was a few weeks out I arvied just a few minutes before show. I was deciding between a frozen or cherry coke, they have the new all flavors machine. I asked if cherry coke was cherry coke or if it was coke with cherry flavor, they assured me it was the former so I got that. After going to the machine I saw it was the flavor one. Unacceptable. Drinks are rediculuos there I would have gotten a frozen but the moron cash register person was an idiot he ever said yeah its defiantly not the separate flavor I saw the box in back. And yet they want more per hour

I was impressed with this theater. I’ve been going to MJR for most of my movies. I’ve come here before to see Iron Man 3, Avengers, and 22 Jump Street but today was the first time coming to see an Indian film. I won’t critique the film on here since that’s not relevant but the theater has this classy appeal. The ticket office is built before the entrance so unless you bought tickets in advance and print them online or something, you’ll have to go through here. Once entering, AMC 30 so there are 30 theaters which is bigger than most of the other AMCs in the area. At least three concession stands cause food is important. And the quality of the projectors, speakers, and other tech is far better than I felt it used to be. Design and colors seem bland and doesn’t have that sleek feel but I’m not an interior designer so I won’t be picky about that. Most importantly, these people are competing with MJR and Emagine among others for customers. So, their pre-​noon movies are currently going for 4.29 a person which is ridiculously good. It’s the holidays so more people are inclined for morning movies. Smart business for now haha.
Overall, it’s a quality AMC theatre with 30 screens that’s tough to outclass. And if you want a bang for your buck, it’s a good place to start!

I feel like nothing has changed at this location ever. The theater feels that same that it did 10 years ago. If you are looking for a great movie theater for a date, then this probably isn’t your place. But if you want a nice place to take the family, AMC 30 is a great place to go.

This theatre was totally unprepared for the Hateful 8 Roadshow. It was awful. Instead of re-​funding tickets they handed out coupon vouchers that expire in a couple months. I drove out of my way to go to this theatre and I doubt I will ever go back. The projector was out of focus causing the film to be blurry all of the time, the lighting was awful and the curtains left a shadow on the screen that was very distracting, they stopped the movie randomly to fix the film that took 15 minutes, the sound was not synced up properly with the intermission break, the seats sucked, etc. Not a roadshow experience, I’m really disappointed that a night with my family was ruined by an un-​prepared theatre.

This theater is okay; how it is ran is a different story. I purchases tickets online, as anyone would expect you have to pay a premium for this «luxury». My issue isn’t that I had to pay a fee, it is that the fee got me nothing. When I get to the theater with no functioning ticket kiosks, from which you must print your tickets… And the management team has prepared for one of the busiest movie going weekends with two staff members at the ticket window, a customer is left bewildered as to how convenient that $ 3.75 convenience fee is. I got to wait inline, the same line that tickets are sold at without a convenience fee… I wasn’t able to reserve my seats, so I got the same shitty front row seats I would have gotten had i purchased a ticket in the line I had to stand in. But don’t worry AMC cannot and will not relinquish your fee they worked so hard to make worth it.
Also I live in Chicago, a much more expensive city than metro Detroit. Point being if you want reasonably priced concessions don’t buy them from the AMC Forum 30, come to first run theaters in Chicago…(yeah I know it’s hyperbole, and you took AP English).
Recap: convenience fee is no promise of convenience
concessions are way overpriced
PROTIP: they don’t really check bags, or in our case care we walked in with coffee.

Nice theater. Lots of screens so I can usually get into any movie I wanna see, even last minute. Staff is friendly, popcorn is good and the staff is nice. Not much more you can ask for from a movie theater.

As movie theaters go, this one isn’t bad at all. The bar is a nice touch, especially since you can take your drink in the movie theater with you. I suspect more people would make use of it if the drinks weren’t so crazy overpriced.
The seats are reasonably comfortable, and the screen and sound quality were both adequate.
I wouldn’t call this the best movie experience I’ve ever had, but it’s far from the worst.

Live right next to emagine Rochester Hills — so I use them a lot.
However — I like AMC 30 for the Imax and their big screen theatres. The Imax is very loud too– which is awesome!
I also think AMC has one of the better reward programs as far as theatres go.
Another big advantage here is sheer size! They show more movies at any given time — and make them available for longer.

I come here ALL DAHHHH F***ING TIME, good atmosphere and concession line is always quick, and the chicken tenders are BOMB A$$$$$, I have a MJR Digital Cenima 14 @ Partridge Creek Mall next door to me like a mile east of me, but I don’t go there, because they don’t have the selection AMC Forum 30 has and their early shows are like $ 1.21 to $ 2.21 cheaper (can’t beat it !!!)

So first time going to AMC, I usually go to MJRs… Really bad experience. Went to get a refill but they do not give icee refills or popcorn, ok that’s fine. Get back in the theatre and projector goes out. So, I paid for some over priced treats to not be allowed a free refill AND then the projector goes out in my IMAX movie and I only get to see 10 minutes of my movie I paid 30 $ for. What a joke! Not too happy of a movie goer tonight, figure it out AMC.
Drove 30 mins, did not get a comp– night ruined. All in all, I would suggest MJRs over AMCs based on this poor performance.

My last time I was here was to see Avengers: Age of Ultron in IMAX. I have seen many other movies here in the past and have enjoyed it very much. The IMAX is not the best here by all means, but still cool anyways. The staff is friendly, floors are clean for the most part. The popcorn and pop is very good, just get the Large Popcorn, Large Pop or ICEE combo, because you get free refills, (Don’t make the same mistake I did, by buying medium and having to pay for another one.) If you are getting an ICEE, get White Cherry, AMC is the only place that sells it and it is DA BOMB! Otherwise, the theater overall is a very good, maintained place, well put location by resturants such as Texas Roadhouse and BW3, and has TONS of theaters, so if you wanted to see a low-​budget film, or flicks that are not out on DVD yet, but still in movie theaters it is your best bet they will have it here. Overall, very nice location, and makes it easy to go see a movie

Friendly staff. Clean theatre. Typically fast service at the concession stand.
Never had a technical problem in the 3 or 4 years I’ve been going here. Food is above average cinema fare. If you go to AMC often, there rewards program is well worth it… Better than any other ones I’ve been a member of.
My only suggestion would be to start doing luxury/​reserved seating like some of the competition does.

We are big fans of AMC theaters and visit often. I’m giving our favorite theater a 4 star rating due to the length of trailers at the beginning of show time. There are too many trailers! From the start time to the time the movie actually starts averages 20 minutes. AMC, please change this!

The only reason my boyfriend and I chose date night at AMC 30 was because it was the closest theatre that showed the independent film, What If.
I’m an MJR person. It’s closer to home and least expensive.
My boyfriend and I went last night. AMC has special Monday-​Thursday evening pricing ($ 7.50/ticket) Same price as our student tickets at MJR. AMC doesn’t offer student discounts. I would be afraid to we what ticket prices are on the weekends.
The concessions are extremely overpriced. Over $ 13 for a large pop and popcorn. Not to mention its stale flavorless popcorn and you actually have to pay for seasoning… what!!! The concessionist wasn’t exactly helpful. My boyfriend and i asked what kind of pops they had and concessionist said ‘those over there’ Here hold on while i put on my sexy specs first. They don’t have extra bags for sharing popcorn. They have boxes. Beware butter leaks all over the box.
Seats are slightly more comfortable than MJR. Screens are a lot smaller though.
Parking lot is done poorly and handicapped patrons have to walk far away. Lots of Mosquitos and bugs everywhere outside. Perhaps some scented candles would help. I don’t know too many people who like to find bugs crawling on their clothes while they try to enjoy a show.

My review of this the last time was pretty short so I will add a new one today. Went here last night to see the new Godzilla movie (in 2D, not 3D). Night price is $ 10.25 and they don’t give student discounts … because I see so many movies for free at screenings, I kind of cringe a bit when I have to pay that much (I like my $ 6 – 8 matinees, preferably the $ 6 ones) but I ration that I don’t pay for movies that much anyways.
Movie was good and seats were comfortable. The seats here are on par with Emagine Novi’s or MJR Marketplace’s, although maybe a bit more comfortable than MJR’s.
Ample parking as well. If you think you past it on M59/​Mound Rd, go back and check again — it’s in the very back of that huge parking lot, with Walmart, B-​dubs, and other stores (also Uno’s and some other freestanding food places).
This isn’t my favorite place to see a movie (John R is — check out their new seats!) but it’s pleasant and I would come back if in the area.

«AMC 30 is the greatest thing since sliced bread!»
— Someone saying this in 2002
AMC 30 used to be the cream of the crop, but the novelty has wore off. Yes, there are a lot of theaters (in case you want to see the Best Picture Oscar from 2003) and it’s huge. Many kinds of people come here because «it’s the place to be» and sometimes the parking lot is full to the brim on weekends, especially in the summer.
IMAX is a plus, but I never watch movies in IMAX. I prefer old-​school movie viewings without 3D glasses and fancy technology. The seats aren’t the most comfortable, theaters get sold out fast if you arrive late or don’t buy tickets ahead of time for a big movie opening (i.e. Batman) and people can be loud and annoying in my AMC experiences.
Now, AMC 30 has a bar where you can pay upwards of $ 8 for a beer. Yes, just what I want: to drink an overpriced Blue Moon and have to get up and pee during a movie.
MJR or Star John R or any other theaters are just as good in essence, and are less of a hassle. Don’t fall into the hype as being the only means of going to this particular theater.

Everyone has their «regular spots» and this was always my go to theatre for years. Yesterday something really disturbing and hurtful happened to me. I am walking to my movie and an employee from AMC theatre comes SCREAMING and frantically swinging her arms around as she was running after me. (or at least it felt like this) She says «is that a glass bottle» while pointing at the bottle in my hand, I said «no» she said. are you ready for this? «can I feel it then?» WHAT? I tell her «no», so she says «lemme feel it», I’m thinking in my head «should I call the cops», I didn’t call the cops. She says «it’s glass, give it to me, I’m going to throw it away». GIVE IT TO ME? .ughh WHAT? So, turns out the bottle was glass, I think me and her were both disappointed, and I had nothing to drink my whole movie. :(

Been here a thousand times, throwing out a review because it still my favorites place after 12 years.
Comfortably, larger, high back chairs. Nice stadium style seating. Ample parking, with easy access to a major roads and decent places to eat near by that aren’t just fast food. I avoid snacks beverages for their obvious price.
Can get packed and evening with young crowd, weekday matinees is where it’s at.
Floors in the theater are always swept well, and the bathrooms are maintained extremely well.

The movie screens are gross!
While watching the scene from Zero Dark Thirty where the SEALs are wearing the night-​vision helmets, the grossness of the theatre’s screen distracted me from the movie. You can see blotches of spots and specs all over. It was not at all noticeable before this particular scene.
The smell walking into the theatre also is not pleasant. Think stale popcorn.
Otherwise, you can’t go wrong with $ 5 matinees and well-​maintained bathrooms. Nobody likes expensive movies and dirty bathrooms.

Stopped in tonight to watch the locally filmed and produced Red Dawn (2012). I recognized some of the scenes, so it was really exciting to watch, knowing that a major part was from Metro Detroit.
OK, on to the theater itself. This location is always immaculate, well laid out, and has 30 screens.
As is typical for theaters, they make their money from the concessions. I understand. You go out for a good time, expect to pay to be entertained.
As a side note, once you pass the ticket counters and enter the inner hallways, off to the right is a little bar area where you can get your favorite adult beverage mixed and served up in fine fashion.
All in all, a pleasurable experience.
