    I feel as if this is common knowledge by now just by viewing some of the reviews, but this AMC is in need of desperate help. A once incredible theater (quite literally THE theater to go to in the 2000s), AMC Forum 30 is a shell of itself now. This theater needs a complete update from the exterior, landscaping, interior, theaters themselves, basically all of it. It's rough because from a business standpoint, I'm sure they don't want to update because ticket sales are down. However, I'd argue that ticket sales are down because there are much better theaters in the area now that are also cheaper. I'm not a big MJR guy, but there are two in a decent area of this one that are a big improvement compared to AMC. Now the real big blow that probably put them in the gutter is Emagine. When Emagine got bigger in the area, it was more expensive than AMC. Now, the tables have turned and AMC is more expensive than Emagine but also puts out a worse product. The AMC's in the Metro Detroit area need a serious upgrade and sooner rather than later. I won't be back in here in a long time, if ever if I'm being honest. It's a shame because I was here multiple times a month as a kid. This place used to have character and whimsy. Now, it's as dead as a doorknob. Wish them luck.

    Seats in theatre 9 were old and dirty and there's a half wall in front of the seats in the corner of the back row. Had to pay an extra $7 to reserve the seats with the wall blocking your view online. They should warn you about the wall before reserving the seats.

    This is the only tolerable AMC in my area in my personal opinion and even then, I only come here if I have no other choice. Typically that means for limited release movies that sadly don't come to Emagine and those are relatively rare. Came here last week to see one of those limited release ones and was surprised and decently pleased to find that AMC does offer pre-made ranch seasoned popcorn. It's expensive, all of their concessions are astronomically expensive, but this popcorn is surprisingly tasty, bigger heirloom-esque kernels, and I'd get it again even as someone who isn't the biggest fan of popcorn.

    Our last AMC Theaters experience was not good so when we won movie tickets at a drawing we were happy and apprehensive at the same time. We definitely would not go to the previous AMC location so when a movie premiered that we wanted to see I checked which AMC Theaters were showing it and this was the only reasonable choice. When we arrived there was plenty of parking although it was an afternoon showing and not too busy. We approached the ticket windows and there was only one that was open serving one customer; we were next in line. But while we waited some people arrived for the A-List and Premium member line. When the window cleared Mandy called people from the other line. More people arrived in that line and were again called ahead of us. Now I'm not against this system and have had similar advantages at other businesses. What was bad here was only having one ticket window open. When we left after the movie I noticed there was still only one ticket window open! Once we entered the actual theater things were looking up. Unlike the other AMC experience at least the (non-rocking or reclining) seats were clean. The audio and video part of the experience were good. But after the experience at the ticket window, I won't be back!

    Lately I've been going to see movies with a friend who is enrolled in the AMC stubs program so it's been a lot of AMC for me. And we've been driving farther to the Forum rather than go to the Star Gratiot since they have a lot more showtimes so it seems to work out better time wise. Also this place is a lot less depressing than the Star Gratiot but that's a topic for another review. I'd been to this multiplex at least a couple of other times solo, too, coming here to see Solo, now that I think about it. Yup, the most mediocre Star Wars movie ever. This multiplex is pretty mediocre, too. You got your overpriced concessions that make me feel like a glutton since the large popcorn and large fountain drink combo is like 50 cents more than buying smaller sizes so I feel like an idiot if I don't. I never finish my huge popcorn and don't empty my fountain drink in the theater either. Sometimes I take it with me in the car but no way will that ginormous cup fit in my console so today I just pitched it. The poor maintenance workers that have to haul away those trash bags, all sloshing around with high fructose corn syrup. I do like that they have those freestyle machines with dozens and dozens of flavors, although today they were out of the lime flavored Seagram's ginger ale I like to get every time. That might have had something to do with me pitching my pink lemonade after the show as well. We came here to see Eternals in the IMAX theater a couple weeks ago and it did add some more of the epicness that movie was trying so hard for, but I feel like the IMAX here isn't as big as the AMC Fairlane. I dunno, I'd probably have to revisit that one sometime in the next several months to have a less foggy point of reference. Neither can mess with the IMAX at the Henry Ford at any rate. The regular theaters here have the tiered, spaced out seating of most modern theaters but not the nice reclining seats of the IMAX. (At least not the theater for Dune today. I'm scratching my head trying to remember for Shang-Chi and Black Widow. At most one might have had the reclining seats.) And despite the way the theaters feel pretty expansive stretching back, there's not a lot of leg room. I kept moving my legs around uncomfortably during the two and a half hour movie. Fortunately, the theater was nearly empty and I could rest a leg on the arm rest of the seat in front of me. But even that would get uncomfortable after a little while. Restrooms seem to be conveniently located near theaters on both ends of the sprawling multiplex. I've been to huge theaters where the johns are way back in the main lobby and it's a mad sprint to not miss too much of the film when the ol' bladder can't last the whole way through, especially when you're washing down salty popcorn with Big Gulp sized fountain drinks. Not so here. Location is not the best. Hall Road is an ugly thoroughfare prone to traffic jams but with the other cross street, Mound Road under construction, Hall is actually the lesser of the two evils, sad to say. It still beats going to AMC Star Gratiot. There was nearly a full half hour of previews and ads before Dune today. I wish they'd retire that dumb ass M & Ms ad already. I swear, I've seen it before any movie at any chain theater for the last 6 or 7 years! At least there's no stupid MJR song here. That song is an abomination and you're an idiot if you like it or, shudder, actually clap for it. Looking back, this review is pretty heavy on the complainy side but I really do love the movies, that larger than life feeling you just can't get from watching something at home. And you could do worse than this big ol 30plex. At least if you're going to see big budget blockbuster type fare. I got other places I go to for the more offbeat stuff.

    Went to the show today. Every seat was taken!  They offer senior prices.

    This theater is fine and has a lot of movie selections but no recliner seats, which is getting very popular around the various theatres. The restrooms are a bit confusing and I've seen men walk in the women's bathroom and women walk in the men's bathroom. Like a typical movie theater the food prices are ridiculous. A small popcorn (which they call regular) is over $8 with tax and the next size up is the family bucket for about $1 more. The volume in the theatre is fine and it appears to be kept clean.

    What even is that

    I hate that it's so outdated and uncomfortable to sit and watch a 2 hour movie in those old seats. They need to renovate

    Some theaters need to be updated. Seating was not comfortable in the last theater we were in back in February 2024.

    I just can't see movies this way anymore. Saw an IMAX movie and the seats didn't recline. Everyone was super close. No thank you.
