I love the movies especially matinee for $5 - I'm also very pleased that they offer promotion deals and whatnot. Drinks are very high; I'm pretty sure 24oz beer was $8 but it lasted the whole movie and they provide you with a lid and straw so you don't spill it. If you decided to seat in any handicapped section - please note the entire row doesn't recline back like the other rows. Not really a fan of the assigned seats but it's still ok. read more

We love this place. Being able to reserve your exact seats is great, and such a time saver since you don't need to wait in a line or arrive real early for big movies like your MCUs and your Star Warses. My wife is loath to go anywhere else because the seats are so comfortable. The popcorn is great and refillable, it's nice to have adult beverages available if desired, and they have a rewards program that pays off quickly even if you don't go to a lot of movies. The staff is friendly, the theatres are clean and immersive, and I think I've had maybe one sound hiccup in all the times I've come here, so that's a good sign as to how well they keep things up. It's a testament to how great a theatre this is that we will drive past two others to have the experience this place gives us. read more

The Emagine movie theater experience is one of a kind. This movie theater makes you feel very comfortable almost at home, especially because of the great theater seats. I come here all the time to enjoy a movie. Here are some highlights of the experience. Concessions: The concessions choices are numerous they have pizza, quesadillas, and many other items you don't find in a movie theater. The popcorn is excellent and you can also add on real butter for a dollar extra. Now to drinks they have the updated coca cola machines that allow you endless customization with your drinks, trust me you will want to mix and match until you have found a good combination. Bar: Emagine has a full bar with movie themed cocktails, wine and craft beer. The drinks are definitely movie priced but that's what you'd expect. They always have good local beer from Michigan and a few of the typical domestics. Theater: This theater has some of the greatest movie seats. The seats recline, and they also have a footrest that lifts your feet too. There is ample space between you and your neighbor and large cup holder for your drinks. I always like to get the trays that fit into the cup holder but they have a tray for your popcorn and a place for your drink as well. Emagine provides a great theater experience. read more

I have been attending Emagine since they opened.. Emagine what happened? Where are you management? Several employees sitting in customer service area talking while the concession area was filthy! Floor had food and trash all over. The girl who served popcorn was rude and slow! She didnt want to be there. I forgot to mention the new Emagine phone app is terrible! The old one was much better! read more

Theatre is great most of the time. Last night my girlfriend and I saw Wakanda and the people next to us were talking, making noises and being very disruptive. I never go out of a theater to report a disruptive disrespectful movie watcher but I had to this time. They told me they would watch them and that if they were disruptive again to come down and they would take care of it. So I go back to my movie and 5 minutes later the dude starts flashing his flashlight. Security came over and gave him a warning. 10 minutes later he starts yelling during loud parts of the movie. I've had it with this guy so I go down to report him again. They tell me what they've done, wasting my previous time explaining the situation to which I'm already very much aware. They try to offer me to move to another theater that's an hour behind but that doesn't work for us. I told them we have to sit it out, please take them out of there. Another 20 minutes go by, they take off their shoes and they had very smelly feet. He literally decides to say something every 5 minutes. I can no longer enjoy a movie I was considering film of the year. Oh and btw, I forgot to mention that these pricks didn't even show up to the film right away, they were an hour late! I go back down a 3rd time!! They tell me they can't remove them because they don't see it. So instead they gave me 2 free tickets for next time. I spent money still, on beer and popcorn. Very unsatisfying customer service. They were able to add tickets to my account just by knowing my seat number. They should have been able to see how many movies I've seen over the year and realized how much of a loyal customer I am. And if a super loyal customer comes to you and tells you there's a problem, you take care of it! read more

This, at least in my mind, is the way movies are meant to be enjoyed. You could see the world's most awful movie, and still, theoretically, have an awesome time at this theatre. Let me tell you why: Say you've had a nice dinner with your friends or special person, you meant to get a drink, but the movie is going to begin soon. Here, you don't have to worry about any of that, because you can have a delicious well-made drink whether you're into craft beers, wine or a nice cocktail, they've got it all and it's well priced. You can then take your beverage INTO the theatre. This kind of makes all the difference. The concession stand has some really great choices as well, including pizza, quesadillas, or a movie standard, POPCORN. Even during busy weekends, they're a timely bunch, which means you don't have to miss any parts of your movie. What makes this experience truly unique though, is that you can reserve a specific seat, so if you know you like to experience the big screen from a specific seating arrangement, by all means, if you're timely you can get the exact seat(s) you want. These seats aren't anything to scoff at either, if the first point didn't sound so great, they might be some of the comfiest, most accommodating seats you've ever sat in, at a movie theatre (or anywhere). I go out of my way, if I have the time, to watch movies at this place, since discovering it with a wonderful friend of mine who lives in town. I think you might too, once you give it a chance. read more

Emagine is for sure the nicest theater in Canton. I like that you can pick out your seat online and have it reserved for you when you get there. The seats are very comfy and the leg rests kick up and backs recline. The reason I'm leaving 4 stars in stead of 5 is because sometimes the lines are a little long and it's a bit on the pricey side. read more

So I just drove 32 minutes to come and watch a movie here. Upon arrival we were told they are having plumbing issues and they won't let us in... but get this if you already bought a ticket online they would let you in? I'm sorry what? I am so disappointed since it does not make sense why if tickets were purchased prior it is fine to let them watch the movie? You would think for the inconvenience they would offer something.. I did not drive around the corner! Annoying! I attempted to contact the email as asked to by Frank from emagine and it has been 6 days with no response! Why provide an email if you guys weren't going to respond? I'm disappointed throughly. read more

The most comfortable recliner seats you'll get in a theater! They go way back too, so even in the front section it wasn't too bad where you have to strain your neck back - instead, you can strain the chair back! It would also be ideal for napping. And at just $5 for a matinee, it's the best value yet. read more

Usually I dont have a complaint... today.. today is different. I rush out of the house to catch a new release movie so I can squeeze in two movies on my night off and find they cancelled my first show to make room for a different movie but failed to update thier online listings or the board at the ticket counter. So here I sit for 40 mins to see the second show. Just disappointed all the way around! I dont get these opportunities often and it was a let down. The manager was pretty much "oh well, sorry". GEEZE thanks for helping me feel like a "valued" customer. How about a free drink while I wait?? Bleh! As I type this... the manager came over and asked if she could get me a drink or something.. awesome!..guess I DO feel like a valued customer THANK YOU !! read more

My Emagine experience blew away my imagination, WOW! I went to a day movie and tickets were only $5 anytime before 6 p.m. AWESOME! The entire complex was clean and the atmosphere was very nice. Walking around, I was very excited to see that they had a little bar section. Beers are about the same prices you would see at a Ball Game, so I didn't mind shelling out $9 for a 32 ounce of beer to sip on while I enjoy a viewing of The Minions. So at this point I got my brew, getting ready to see the sexy Minions movie with my dogs Famus Dave and J Mills, and boy oh boy did my eyes light up when I saw the seats. They were literally the hugest movie theater seats I have seen in my life. These seats could fit two Scottys and they were comfortable AF! They even reclined, bonus!!! Now onto the movie experience. Wowsers! The screen is as big as my, well.....it's pretty big screen. You will be pleased! The sound system is bumping. The sound in the theater was perfect. If anyone says otherwise, they are cuckoo, I mean, BELLO.....(hidden Minion reference lol) The popcorn wasn't as buttery as I normally desire, but I didn't pay for it. J Mill offered me a few bites of his P-Corn bucket and I grabbed the bucket and like had a few handfuls and pretended to not hear or see him when he tried to get the bucket of warm popping corn back, so I guess it was pretty good after all. Let me tell you something man, I will be back to Emagine Canton and back again. I'm definitely gonna hit up Magic Mike XXL man. The magic will be experiencing the luxury of this theater as I enjoy the real Magic, which is when Big Dick Ritchie takes the stage and does his thing on the screen. (I'm not gay, I'm the furthest thing from gay, I just really appreciate dance films) Anywho, best theater I've been to in my life, check it out! I couldn't Emagine wanting to go to any theater ever after going to this great place! A++ Pro-Tip - The attendants here seem to be on point so guys, don't try fooling anyone with the Bucket Trick, I aint gonna fall for that one again. Pro-Tip 2 - Pregame move - before the previews come on, buy a box of Milk Duds and mix them things into the popcorn box. They will get soft and their flavors will enhance. This mix of salty and sweet will enhance your life. read more

It's a $5 movie. Can't really complain ... the last time I was here on a visit home I did get a seat that didn't work. I meant to mention it to management on the way out and forgot. =( The ticket prices are cheap, but like other theatres, they get you with the snacks. All in all, its close to my mom's house, they always have the new movies playing, price is good, seats are comfy (even if they don't recline) and the popcorn is tasty! read more

Nice theater. Kept very clean. We were there for a 5PM matinee showing. As result the theater was very empty. Which was nice as I could actually see the theater areas and take everthing in. The food/snack bar has many offerings from popcorn to pizza to chicken tenders to hot dogs and chili fries. Everything appears very fresh with most made as ordered. We went with the popcorn. It was good. Light, fluffy and tasty. Hubbs says it's the best of all the local theaters. Reflls were 25 cents. They do have a fully stocked bar.The drinks are some what pricey IMO but well poured. The showrooms are easier to access here. The hallways are much shorter than at the other theaters. No long hallways to walk. This also keeps you closer to the bar and food counter. The seat comfort is good but not quite as comfy as some others. All staff was friendly, helpful and accomodating. This theater is a winner! read more

Have been there a number of times since Covid restrictions lifted. All issues addressed. Couldnt be happier. Chairs all good. Theater cleaner than ever. Everyone friendly and helpful. This location is great. read more

Made the switch from Star AMC and have never looked back. Emagine Canton was great for taking the family to a movie. I loved the option to buy online in advance with assigned seating. The customer service has always been good even when I had an issue. The theater was clean and the seats were comfy. It is now our go to for movies. read more

This theater is amazing! Shows are always $5 before 6 pm, so it's a great deal! The seats in all the theaters recline and are spacious enough to cozy up for a movie. I'm surprised the prices are so cheap, considering the quality of the theater. Shows after 6 pm are a little higher in cost, but they're all under $10 (not including 3-D movies!) Of course, the popcorn and drinks are way overpriced (a medium popcorn is $6.75) but refills on both soda and popcorn are free! And considering the cheap price of seats, I think it balances out :) The only con about this theater is it's almost always packed, unless you go at 11 am on a weekday, so make sure you buy your tickets at least a day in advance! You can also choose your seats when purchasing tickets, so there's no awkward half-running from using the restroom before the movie and trying to get good seats! read more

I live in Livonia and only a short way from several movie theaters, but I will drive to Canton to go to Emagine. I'm almost afraid to write this because I don't want it to become too busy! I love that it's never crowded, at least not when I'm there. It's always clean. There never seems to be groups of unattended children(teens) running around acting like fools! I'm a snob (not really...lol) and like to sit in the foo-foo chairs (comfort is my goal in life) and yes, I pay for those foo-foo chairs, so it gets on my nerves when at other Emagine (NOVI) theaters they don't check tickets in the foo-foo chair section. At Canton, they check ( or have when I've been there). Another plus, you can get refills on soda and popcorn and I think it's for a quarter...Buy a small and then get refills... Only complaint and this has nothing to do with the specific theater, it's all theaters, the overly expensive tickets and HUGE mark-ups on concessions. Hence, why I don't go to the theater too often. (yeah, yeah...I know I could get cheaper tickets if I didn't purchase the foo-foo chair tickets! read more

I love this place because it has a bar, with their own special drinks.. not just any drinks, but movie themed drinks.. I had that one named after Yoda.. it was green, and the entire time I was taking a sip and said things like " MMM! Strong is the force with this one!" .. " Take another sip I must!" in my not so good yoda impression. We watched Fast N Furious 6 with cousins and had a good time. Seats were very comfortable, temperature was nice. I had no complaints. Perhaps because I was happy with my Green Yoda booze in a huge cup! A good selection of craftish beer too! read more

I want to start off by saying that we are thoroughly impressed with The level of customer service that we received during our visit. I love Emagine but today they have earned my business for life. What started off as a normal date night at the movies quickly turned sour when we were approached in the dark by a man who was acting very suspects and just plain weird. We tried to shake it off but we felt very nervous and shaky about the incident that had occurred. We went to concierge and told them about what happened. They were very understanding and very reassuring. They quickly issued us passes to come back to see the movie and also because it was dark, called security to escort us to our car. They took a detailed report of what happened and alerted all of security to be on the lookout for the man that approached us. I feel as though Emagine could've shrugged this off as an unfortunate incident but they took our concern and safety seriously. They asked us for our account of the incident and followed through with making sure that the grounds were safe. I go to a lot of movies and a lot of theaters but I am solely sticking with Emagine now. I feel more happy secure knowing that they have great customer service and great management and bonus great security. Kudos to them for a job well done. I look forward to going back and enjoying the movie. Though we did not stay for the full movie I will say that the luxury seating is absolutely awesome and the new beverage machines are amazing. I feel like there is a lot of variety and you have more choices. The self-serve beverage machines seem to help with making the lines go by faster. The whole process from ticket sale to being seated was very fast and we definitely appreciate that on a busy Friday night. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. I feel as though Emagine has come along way and definitely have earned their name as a lecture there. That's all folks. read more

This is my favorite local theater. I'm guessing it's just like the one in Novi, which has fab. reviews. It's super cheap if you go before 6pm ($4.00, if I remember correctly). Popcorn isn't outrageously expensive & you can get $0.25 refills. Also, they have a nice little cocktail bar. The place is clean (unlike the closest theater near me: AMC Fairlane) and, from my experience, the movie-goers aren't obnoxious. read more

Love emagine. Never have an issue and if we think we are it is resolved quickly. A few seats in the theaters were broken down, but we just went for Captain Marvel opening weekend and they had brand new heated seats in the theater we've been in before. Don't know if they are replaced in all but they were very nice. Willing to pay a couple extra for the experience. However, their "signature" opening sequence needs work, especially since doing a parody of "baby shark". Super annoying, whoever is in charge of making those (also the old "Jurassic Park" one) needs to find someone with better ideas. read more

I brought my two girls to see The Grinch yesterday at The Emagine Canton theatre #9. It was so cold in the auditorium that we had to wear our coats, hood and all. The movie was sold out but many left due to the cold. It's ALWAYS cold in their theatres and we usually bring a blanket year round but, this time we forgot. They had the air conditioning on so low that your hair was blowing. This would be the BEST movie theatre around once they understood that their audience was warm blooded and need WARM air filtrating the room. Does anyone EVER sit in their own living room with the air conditioning on in the winter? After all, we weren't their working up a sweat in a gym. Why do they think they need it cold in there EVER????? It's miserable in the summer there! I'm sure they care enough to make sure that their paying customers are comfortable. read more

Great place to see a movie. Good prices (especially the matinees), good comfortable seats, a nice place to get a drink, etc. The food/drink costs are pretty high, but if you keep going you need to enroll in the "frequent flyer" club to get the rewards & perks to offset some of those costs. Lot's of extras above and beyond your normal theaters! read more

Real. freshly popped popcorn and the ability to drink and view make this a must for the die-hard movie fan. This Emagine is steps above the Woodhaven one, which looks like a concrete bunker. I never knew how deprived the Downriver area was compared to Canton. It looks as if the people of Canton can be trusted with carpet and some nice amenities! Parking can be crazy so try to get here for the early shows! read more

Usually I come to canton one because it is cleaner than novi. I drive 22 mins to come here . Tonight is the last night I will probably go to canton Emagine . The staff is rude . I ordered food for my boyfriend and myself . They usually bring it to you within 20-30 mins max no biggie ..... tonight my movie started at 10:50pm it was 11:15 I'm like hmm where is our food everyone else who came in way after us had their food deliver within 15 mins . My boyfriend gets up during the movie to check on it he comes back with no food. He said they were making it fresh because it was sitting for 40 mins . Okay cool I can wait ! It is now 11:55 no food !! I grab my things to go see what's going on I ask for a manager at the concession stand ... kid is trying to get the manager to come over keeps putting her finger up at him. Finally she looks at us and says you can just go to the box office manager.. she was RUDE not only to us but her "employees" as well, I tell him what's happening and he refunds us our food . Waiting for him to refund they want to bring the food out and like I can't find them! It is now 12:02 my movie was at 10:50 and you take that LONG! Never again will I be at the emagine canton especially when I am a loyalty member and have Spent ALOT OF MONEY there. I guess I will go to Novi or Royal Oak. I will call tomorrow to speak to someone higher about that lady! I am so MAD at the disrespect they are were giving off. read more

First of all beautiful theater, with nice amenities, really clean and comfy recliner seats. My biggest problem with this theater is that they don't have good sound system. I have watched many movies here in different screens. But always experienced low sound volume and no Surround sound. I believe my LG 47" TV has better sound then this. Hopefully, if Emagine is reading this review, they might put this under consideration. Also, I have been to Goodrich Quality down the road and also experienced no surround sound. I am from New York and always had a good experience as far as sound goes. Maybe its has to do something with MI. read more

I've been to plenty of movie theaters, but none like this one. Used Fandango to purchase my tickets in advance so I could reserve the seats we wanted to sit in and skip the ticket line. Showed my pass to the staff and they let us right through. The confession lines moved very quickly, my only gripe and reason for taking off a star is the prices. I think for a large pop and popcorn it was almost 15 bucks, which is way more than I've ever paid at any other theater. However, the lines moved very fast and you could get refills on pop, from the cool Coke machines that let you add flavor. The theater was also very amazing, as the seats are leather reclines, that let you pop up a foot rest and recline. They made the whole experience just that much better. Overall this is one of the best theaters I've been to, other than the high concussion prices. read more

I LOVE THIS THEATER AND TELL EVERYONE I KNOW!!!! For several years now we have made the trek an extra 20 minutes from our house (and other closer theaters) to go to this one in Canton. #1. There is a full bar. (do I even need to go on....?) #2. They have the State-of-the-Art sound systems & screens (especially Theater #9!) #3. Everyone who works here is really nice and helpful and the theater is clean #4. They just recently converted ALL theaters to LUXURY SEATING! What exactly does that mean? It means every chair IS A FULL RECLINING LAZY-BOY!!! So, 5 stars? Oh yeah - full reclining Lazy-Boy with a table in between each seat, a top-shelf Long Island & free refills on popcorn in a state-of-the art theater with kick-butt sound?! Yep...FIVE STARS. This places rocks. it's the only place we go. read more

This review is subject to change based on any further visits, but since I already don't visit the cinema often due to the complex issue of not enjoying large crowds, I feel that three visits a year (or less) would take far too long for me to write a review. So I'm writing one now. We've seen movies here on two occasions. Once to see The Dark Knight Rises a long while back, and another to see Finding Dory last Wednesday, which was to make up for the debacle we were forced to go through at Canton 7 (see my review on the place to get the full scoop). I remember being pleased with my experience seeing Dark Knight Rises here, so I wanted to return to see other films. And we did return... only to be rejected seats. Then I learned how Emagine works. At Emagine, you have to book your seats at least hours in advance. You HAVE to. If you do not do this, you will not get a seat. There have been a couple of times where seats were available, but they were only in the front row... and who seriously wants to sit in the front row? There's a reason why those seats were empty. Now, this is far more relevant during the weekends, rather than the middle of the week. If you plan to see a movie here on the weekend, come in hours early or buy your ticket online hours earlier than the showtime. In fact, play it safe and order them DAYS in advance, especially if you have a big group you're planning to see the movie with. We've showed up an hour early to the showtime of a film only to be told there are no seats left. An hour early. This is not a place you can just drop in to with your buddies (at least during the weekends) and pop into a theater and see a movie. Let this be a warning to you. Plan your day ahead of time. With that said, there's a pretty good reason why the seats are always taken: this cinema is AWESOME. You get (what I assume to be) faux leather seats, huge ones, that not only recline, but have elevating foot rests. They were so comfortable that I felt it very difficult to leave once the film was over. The seating alone makes it worth going to the movies now and then, and I'm not much of a fan of that to begin with. Secondly, I have to comment on the popcorn my husband ordered. My god, is it good. And I usually hate popcorn. That's how good it is. The frozen beverages machine was out of order, unfortunately. Otherwise, I would have definitely purchased one. On the other hand, they do have one of those new Coke machines that has a touch screen program for choosing your particular flavor. Love those things. The theater itself is incredible. It has a brilliant indoor look that I really enjoy. Pretty much my only gripe with the place (thus far, mind you) is that there is booked seating. But now that I know that, I can plan ahead if we ever want to see a particular movie. Now, it doesn't really seem all that bad to claim two of the best seats in the house that no one else can steal. read more

Love this theater! Wish they'd kept the black seating but it's still great! Buying my ticket online in advance makes seeing the movie I want much easier. Food's great, very clean and friendly helpful staff. I definitely recommend emagine Canton read more

Unless hubster and I are out of town, Emagine theaters are the only theaters we ever go to get our movie fix. We divide our time between the Novi and Canton locations, Canton being a bit closer to our home. Emagine theaters have big, comfortable seats and the best popcorn/butter (they offer REAL!butter for $1 extra) of any theater I've been to. Seriously, the popcorn is why we go to Emagine! Both AMC and Phoenix are closer to where we live- but for us popcorn is..umm..well.., pretty important! The only slight complaint I have is that the central area and bathrooms need some more frequent cleaning. All in all, $5 matinees before 5pm are a great deal. Oh, and Emagine sells alcohol and liquor. Cocktails, popcorn and a movie? Score! read more

$5 tickets for screenings before 6pm - that is worth 4 stars alone. Add in the new leather recliners and the experience could be hit or miss... so I'm leaning more towards 3-3.5. When I saw we were sitting in a cinema with luxury seats I was SO excited! I've always thought Emagine had clean and comfy seats, but this was a whole new level of luxury. I will admit it's a little strange sitting next to people who are fully reclined, as if we're in their living room. My friends recliner was broken, they're electric so that is bound to happen. I feel like chairs that are broken should be taken off the reservation screen or they should at least be "flagged" so you know that you'll be sitting in a broken chair. I thought my seat was very comfortable - I liked that there wasn't a squeaking sound every time I wanted to sit up and re-adjust how I'm sitting. read more

I have mixed feelings, this is a beautiful theater but there seem to be some service issues. I was harassed for using the student discount by one employee and card checked by another for a R-rated film. I'm fine showing ID for alcohol, but if I look possibly 16 (17+ for R admittance) you may be the one on the bottle. No real concession specials here either. Room for improvement. Prices are all over the place making it confusing for customers. Still their weekday matinees are hard to beat at $5. And they've put up signs restricting customers sharing their popcorn. I didn't know that was even a thing. There are signs of improvement from last time so I've added a star. read more

Love, love the new seats in the theater! I could literally fall asleep in those comfy seats! I won't go to any other theater. They have great snacks and drinks , you know the ones that they ask for your I.D Awesome job emagine theater read more

Went to see a movie and stood in line for some time. Get to the cashier and the movie was sold out. They could have put up a sign or made announcements, but did not. Wasted my time. read more

We always have a great experience at this theatre. The seats are comfy, the staff is polite and friendly. The only thing I would change if I could is the concession prices. read more

My favorite movie theatre. The theatre is clean and I love the Assigned seating with reclining chairs. And the butter actually tastes like butter. The staff is always friendly and efficient. read more

Emagine is the only way to go really. Super evan seats, reclining and wonderful snacks. I have never had a bad experience here.

Emagine is a great place to go for a comfortable movie watching experience. While the seats are great, bathrooms are clean, and staff is welcoming, the prices are quite high. The matinee show is definitely the way to go, as tickets are only $5. We typically plan a meal before or after a movie because snack prices are also pretty steep. read more

best movie theater in the metro area. Clean, workers are nice, seats are great...
