MJR Marketplace Sterling Heights Digital Cinema 20

Unfortunately, MJR has taken a tumble. The customer service at MJR has always been «meh» — you’ll often find a wait at the concession stand that is just too long while employees seem to be doing other non-​related things, and if there’s another issue — forget about it, their social media presence is TERRIBLE and you won’t get much better via e-​mail.
Now, a few of their screens are showing signs of wear — nothing worse than seeing scrapes or blurs while you’re paying to see a first run movie. I did contact them about this — they tell me they have a maintenance program in place — when I contacted them again about the same issue on the same screen — I just got more excuses. Saw another movie on another screen just the other night — more dirt/​scrapes present.
MJR is still a little less expensive than the big chain competitor that’s near me… and the popcorn is MUCH better (at least when it’s fresh — they tend to let it sit at times). The MJR Rewards program is also a bonus — make sure you sign up.
If you don’t mind a few blemishes on the big screen and a wait at the concession stand, MJR is worth the price.

I DO NOT recommend to friends or family.

Been coming here almost exclusively since 2007 until the Troy location opened last summer. Came here a few days ago to see Spectre and it was a decent film imo.
Frankly, I think MJR has a better experience overall compared to AMC, Emagine, and other national chains. All the more reason to support local: P Seats and the theatres themselves, variety of snacks, costs, etc.
I definitely recommend the daytime hours. Before noon, it’s 5.50 and between noon and 6, it’s 6.50. After that, the price goes to 10.50. Everyone wants that convenience of a nice evening movie after eating out with the family or that special someone. But if you’re anything more than the occasional movie viewer, going for primetime shows just isn’t worth it. You’re paying double and there’s plenty of people who have to get popcorn, and snacks before the movie. Cost is everything these days and you’re going to see a movie for the movie primarily so seeing it for cheaper is wayyy worth it. On occasion, it’s nice to have that experience of going in primetime with a date or the whole family in the holidays (if it’s worth long lines and packed theatres) but not worth it if you can get tickets for half the price even on weekends when it’s not a work day.
As a kid, I admittedly had more hobbies so movies were more occasional. I loved the experience so getting popcorn and a pop was mandatory. As of late, I see many more movies and only get snacks on occasion. Bottom line: popcorn here is 3.75 for a small, 4.25 for regular, and a little more for the large. It’s pretty atrocious and the best way to tackle it as a regular movie-​goer is to get the rewards card. We’ve been rewards members for 6 – 7 years and getting free popcorns and sodas just for going to mostly supersaver shows has been pretty awesome. I’ve gotten free tickets too and it’s nothing unusual for a rewards program at a movie.
I’m just saying save your money when you need to cause it’s more fun at MJR otherwise ;)

«It’s more fun at MJR.» *clap clap*
They might not have recliners seat, but it truly is more fun at MJR! Why you might ask? The MJR rewards card of course, I AM always getting free popcorn, drinks, a ticket, or even two and it doesn’t cost anything extra so go get yourself one and start getting free things!
The seats aren’t small, and they’re pretty comfy. ALL of their rooms are huge so it’s nice because you don’t feel stuffed or claustrophobic ever! Very clean bathrooms, and in general they do a good job keeping everything else sanitary.
The tickets here are always cheaper, especially the matinée hours, so take advantage of it! Did I mention that they have tons of popcorn seasoning, and it doesn’t cost you a single penny? My favorite is the garlic Parmesan!
always have a cute set up for new kiddy movies so if your child wants to take picture, that option is there! I’m a big fan of the stairways, just makes the theatre seem even more grand!

It’s a great basic movie theater. There isn’t a seat menu to choose from, but the seats are comfortable and the theater is clean.
Popcorn is good, can add extra butter and seasoning if you want. Kinda of nice that when you buy a large you get free refills, but goodness who can eat that much popcorn even sharing amongst 4 people.
They do have a bar, but if you think the regular concessions are expensive, then just keep on walking past that bar. If you are ok with paying the price, keep in mind that you can’t buy a drink for your date/​spouse/​friend unless they go to the bar with you. You will be carded and get to wear a wristband. Also you can only carry one drink at a time so make sure you have a free hand.

This is the theatre I prefer to go to for movies. Comfortable seats and auditoriums,.cheaper prices including student and twilight rates, and decent concession options. While I’ve never taken advantage of it, it is nice to offer the free popcorn/​pop refill to those that want it.

Right now the best movie theaters I have been to. The prices are great, the screens and sound are incredible. Been going to this theater scene it open.

Was eating my free medium popcorn that I earned with my MJR Rewards when all of a sudden I thought it was a kernel that I was spitting out into my napkin, but instead it turned out to be ¼ of my molar tooth. The movie had already started so I didn’t get up until after the movie ended. I went straight to the concession counter and asked for the manager to file an incident report. Once David Allred came to hear what happened, I asked him to file an incident report. He took my name & phone then gave me the business card to their corporate offices. I proceeded to call their corporate offices the next day, left a voicemail, but then was able to speak with Tony after they opened. He took the info and said his insurance would contact me within 24 hours. When I didn’t hear from their insurance co, I called Tony back to follow up but had to leave a voicemail. I finally was able to talk to their insurance company, Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance. Mark at was handling my claim, but he didn’t want to help me at all. I was able to have my tooth repaired, which needed a pin & core buildup. My dentist, Dr. Kozicki, said the tooth will also need a crown because of the substantial amount of tooth that had broken. I faxed the invoice for the initial repair and the crown proposed treatment plan numerous times to MJR corporate office as well as the Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance.
SO NOW MJR THEATRE DENIES MY CLAIM AND IS STICKING ME WITH OVER $ 1,200 IN DENTAL WORK! I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY WON’T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PAIN AND SUFFERING CAUSED TO ME!

Definitely my theater of choice, for more reasons than the it be fair prices, cleanliness and Rewards. A few years ago when The Avengers came out we went to go see it in 3D IMAX and they couldn’t get the movie going, after about 10 minutes the manager came in and told us there was a problem and our money would be refunded, then she said we could go see the regular version in a different theater (which we did) … and then we also got free passes to another movie, thus 3 movies for the price of one. That was my «Big Win» that year (lol)!

It’s more fun at MJR.
Actually, I don’t really care. And I hate when people clap during that intro before movies. But this is a nice, newer theater that has a solid amount of showings and good times at a decent price (more fair than AMC 30).
I remember as a kid when my dad took me to see the Star Wars Trilogy at Showcase Cinema, and MJR is a lot nicer than that place ever was. Nice big parking lot, competent employees, good location — I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to see a movie here if it’s close to you.

I love going to this show. Today, my sister-​in-​law and I saw «The Call.» It was a fantastic thriller. I was surprised to find that the shows that begin before noon are only $ 4.50 admission. After 12 o’clock noon, they are $ 6. I like saving money like everyone else, so I thought I’d let my fellow Unilocalers know about the special prices. Used my MJR Theater and got a ticket for a free show. They used to have free popcorn on Tuesdays, but I’m not sure that special is still ongoing because I can’t remember being there on a Tuesday in years. The entire theater is kept clean. Parking lot is huge and parking is free. Can’t wait to go back to see «42.»

I recently moved to Troy and tried out this theater for the first time. It’s definitely an older theater, but the seats are comfortable enough and there’s free parking. I come here semi-​often for screenings and it’s more convenient for me than the AMC Forum.

I love this theater!
Always plenty of movies showing so you are bound to find something you see!
Place is impeccably clean! There is always someone walking around sweeping, our cleaning a washroom.
Join the rewards programs so you can earn FREE treats and tickets!
Another plus, MJR is a local company! Support the Mitten!

My dad use to take me & my brother to Showcase Cinema back in the day, sneaking us from theater to theater watching movie after movie. We watched the cheap green leather seats disintegrate in front of our eyes. It was a sad day when they tore it down. So you can imagine how happy I was when MJR opened & I was able to continue this tradition with my kids (minus the skipping from theater to theater part of course, lol). This theater is always clean & has some of the cheapest prices when it comes to movies & snacks! I would also love to meet the person who started the whole clapping thing! MJR is an awesome theater & I love to watch movies here. I would also like to give praise to MJR for the can food drive they host around Thanksgiving time, exchanging 5 can foods for a free movie ticket with no restrictions.

Mjr is my place to go. I will never go back to amc on 15 mile ever again. Mjr is just a clean place to go. It looks good on the outside and inside. The people who work here seem kinda happy to be there. Always love getting point towards free stuff. Just my kind of place to see movies. And always $ 5 shows before 6pm makes it worth the trip.

This theater isn’t anything fancy or flashy, but it gets the job done. The theater is large, clean, and comfortable with lots of screens, assuring multiple show times of whatever the flick is you’re looking to see. Plus the $ 5 matinees before 6:00 p.m. is a deal that can’t be beat.
Most recently when I was here with a friend to see Magic Mike (don’t judge! lol) something happened to the film halfway through… I don’t know exactly what happened but half of the screen took on a hot pink tint, while the other half remained normal color. The movie continued with the odd discoloration for about 10 minutes, before they finally stopped the film all together to fix it. An employee came in to apologize for the inconvienence. It took minutes to fix, they rewound the movie back to the part where the discoloration first happened so we could watch that part again. And at the end of it all a manager was waiting outside the door at the end of the film handing us all free passes to come back and see another flick on the house. So yes the mistake was inconvienent, but ehhh… mistakes happen, and they handled it well.
Next up — «Ted»! Free with our passes, of course. :)

I always go there for advanced screenings. Recently went there to watch American Reunion. The theaters are clean and comfortable. It’s no Emagine though — having an ice cold brew while watching your movie makes the experience a little better.

One of my favorite local movie chains, FAR better, cleaner, newer, more comfortable than any AMC
the only hiccup on 1−13−12 was the long lines to buy tickets at 10:44 am
2 lines that each had over a dozen people in each as 3 – 4 flicks were starting at 10:45 — 11: am

This is hands down my go-​to theatre for any new movie that comes out. The seats are crazy comfortable, the theatre is clean as well as spacious, and everything is up to date for the perfect movie viewing experience! I love coming here particularly for their midnight showings of new movies (Thursday nights) and they have enough screens to show a great selection. This theatre does not sell alcohol so my tip for the common lush deciding to hit the movies on a hot night out is to bring a flask or one of those one-​shot little bottles and slip that stuff into your Cola. Go on, live a little.

This place was pretty nice overall.
I went for yet another free screening through another site. The passes just happened to be for this theater. The screening was fairly organized even though it was crowded and some of the guests were less than polite. Staff handled all issues well and were very patient, probably more patient than I would be.
I was taken aback by the partial recline aspect to the seats, not sure if I was loving that. The snacks were typical overpriced and no real wow items amoungst them. We skipped them altogether as we had already dined elsewhere at any rate.
I would go back again if I were in the area, especially for an off hour movie with less of a crowd. The place is pretty clean and the set up is nice. I would be all over their usual discounts (early and twilight prices) too.
