Love the heated and reclining chairs at this theater. Tuesday movie deal is worth it, if you can go during the week. Emagine rewards program is worth the free popcorn on Tuesdays. This place has a full bar and they will bring food to your seat inside the theater. read more

Josh couldn't do enough for us to find seats. I believe he went beyond what most managers would have done. We greatly appreciated him.

Let's just get down to the reason to go to this theater - to be immersed in the movie. It is the seats that make a huge difference! These large heated recliners make you feel like you have a comfy theater to yourself. The sound, the screen and size of the theater are perfect. This theater should have had the reviews restarted when they remodeled. I bypass closer theaters to go here! Really, it is the seats read more

I was excited to find out Emagine opened in Portage. This location didn't disappoint as it is identical to Frankfort. My husband and I saw Twisters here and it was completely sold out. We enjoyed the heated recliners and the popcorn. I paid extra for real butter and it was worth it. There is also free refills for popcorn which is nice. Most theaters are ice cold but this time I didn't freeze. My husband said the restrooms could have been cleaner but overall the theater was very clean. There are waiting areas with sofas to relax if you arrive early like we did. read more

Came and seen Scream 7 last night everything was going good until the movie was over and we went to leave. We were expecting to get a poster seeing online it said we would be getting one well some jack ass handing them out was giving them to other people who didn't see the movie. Am I upset yes that was suppose to be part of our payment coming to see it early. This is caused from poor management. It's so unfair to us people who came to see the movie for the collectors stuff. I believe we should be compastated for your employees handing them out to everyone when in fact it should have only been the people who paid to see Scream 7. read more

Great theater. Attended a week day movie. Never been in a more comfortable setting. Very Clean. Courteous staff.

Have been attending this theatre for a couple of years ow and will not go back to another. The chairs are beyond comfortable staff will serve your food in the theatre while you watch the movie and you can order drinks and an actual glass of beer. If you are looking for an unforgettably wonderful experience I highly recommend this venue. read more

We went on a Church Choir outing, we watched "The Color Purple " . The theater was amazing. The parking lot was full but drivers were respectful. If I had one draw back or encouragement; it would be to Do something different for Concessions...LINES ARE Far Too Long. The bar was amazing and the food choices were great but prices were a little steep. The reclining chairs were Great; once I learned how to operate it. Overall, the Experience was Amazing read more

Very clean, great food and comfortable seats my go To theatre. Far better than amc theaters in the area read more

Still four stars but I was incorrect. The seats are NOT cooling. ‍ But still. A great theatre.

I took my son for his birthday, I did not have a good experience. The guests were loud and shouting and we could not hear the movie. When the movie ended someone threw a bucket of popcorn that landed on everyone in our row. I've had better experiences and I've seen where the staff have come in and asked people to quiet down. I guess this time they didn't care. My son was very disappointed and frustrated because he really wanted to see that movie. read more

My family and I go to this theater every time. It is clean, so comfortable and the variety of snacks is great. The Ultimate Nachos are a 1/5 but everything else we have had has been great. This theater is more expensive than the other area theaters but so much more worth it just due to the space provided in seating and the comfort of the chairs. read more

Decent movie theater. But folks make it easier to walk up and purchase tickets at the counter. Clerk could not find the movie and sell me my ticket. Had to bounce back to the kiosk and purchase the tickets. All of this technology is supposed to help not confuse. A large bucket of popcorn and a drink is $14. read more

I love coming to the Emagine theater! On a small note, I do wish the Portage location would fix their soda machineIt's a small thing, but when you're paying over $6 for a soda at the movies, and tastes like carbonated water (they really need to add a little more syrup), it feels like a waste. After it being like this for a few years and mentioning it many times, I refuse to buy their drinks anymore. read more

Got to see Avatar: The Way of Water in 3-D yesterday. If you're going to watch a movie that's 3+ hours you should definitely see it in this theater! Newly re-opened with a full bar & player grand piano in the lobby. Not only do they have recliners and cuddle chairs but the recliners are heated!! . . . Plus a brick oven at the snack bar for all your favorite pizzas. Join their club and a waitress will bring your order to your chair! (& my personal favorite: they still have the ranch powder for the popcorn!) read more

This place is crazy! Very nice compared to other theaters I've been to! Ordered food and they bring it to you hot and fresh! Reclining chairs with heated seats! Amazing! read more

Saw avatar yesterday. Seats recline when you hold the second button on your left. Seats heat a little when you hold first button on your left and it turns from red to blue. if you want a drink from the bar, just ask an associate. The girl who ran our concession stand wouldn't give me a receipt and ran the charge twice. read more

We went to see a movie tonight at the portage theater. We come quite often on Tuesday's because of the discount. It's something we can afford. My daughter is autistic. And has sensory perception disorder. Not always but sometimes she has a problem in theaters or other noisy places. We bring AirPods and she has an asmr app on her phone for emergencies. She started to have anxiety during the movie. She had her phone on silent and had her AirPods in. We dimmed her phone and she was calming herself. We had two couples on other side of us that didn't even notice what was going on. About 5 minutes passed and a police officer came up smacked the back of my underaged daughters chair , grabbed her shoulder and yelled loudly at us asking if we wanted to leave and get a refund on our movie. We were startled and confused. The couple on each side of us also jumped up and were startled. We were confused and asked him why and said no we didn't want to leave. No where in the theaters is it posted that a cell phone can not be operated within the theater. It only asks that you silence your phones. He continued to yell at us and say she didn't seem like she liked the movie and did she want to leave. She welled up with tears and said she didn't want to leave. I said out loud "dude. What's the problem. What's going on?" And he walked away from us. The couple next to us asked if we were okay and said what is his problem? I said he was angry that her phone was out? They were confused. I apologized and they said "we didnt notice. No need to apologize. ". We were allowed to stay for the rest of the movie. Which was the sound of freedom. At the end of the movie they actually ask you to take out your phones. Scan a QR code and share the film on social media. I went to management after the movie. She said cell phones aren't allowed to be used In The theater. That it's a policy they have and she would be happy to show us "the manual" . And said if we needed accommodations we need to come on a special day only. And they already had a day for this movie and we should have came then. So which is it. No cell phones. Or only when they ask you to use them. And she said the police are there to help them keep guests in line. And they have no control over them. So nothing can be done. No apologies from her whatsoever. She was young, blonde and had a cold sore on her lip. I believe her name take said shift leader and the name was Ashley? The actual policed offer who had harassed us was actually standing behind her laughing at us and saying yea it was me. He then proceeded to Jump up onto the counter and sit on it behind the girl we were speaking to at the customer service station. It was all highly unprofessional and rude. My child was not being rude. Or disruptive. And this whole darned review feed is filled with people with photos of the insides of the theaters and even pictures while the movies were playing. Why were they not threatened to be removed? The first young man we tried to talk to who was not a manager was very apologetic. He was a younger black man with facial hair and very very kind. . I'm torn. And confused. And very disappointed how we were treated. I will be trying to reach out to corporate. Do better. Be better. This is supposed to be for families. We were not rude. Or disrupting anyone's evening or movie experience. In fact. The only one who interrupted anyone's experience was the rude police officer with the god complex picking on children. read more

Emagine Theater in Portage is the best movie house in NW Indiana. Their EMAX screen is the best! They did a wonderful job on the conversion to the new facility. Everyone needs to experience seeing a movie in this theater. Tom M. read more

Great theatre. Clean, reclining seats, but no matter how good the Dolby Atmos sounds and how large the seats are, it can't shield you from the guy sitting next to you shoveling an entire bucket of popcorn and crinkling an entire package of sour patch kids while slurping his 32 ounce drink and chewing the ice. Is this the theater's fault? No, but I went to enjoy a movie and I ended up paying to listen to Jabba the Hutt eat for 2 hours. I tried to move but all the seats were full. read more

You can not have your cell phone in your hand at all. A police officer will warn you out of kicking you out of the movie.

My favorite movie theater popcorn is good they have reclining seats they're really comfortable and they are heated seats

First time at this movie theater. I was told it was renovated. Saw Avatar in 3D. Place was clean and the seats are very comfortable. They recline and they're heated!!! read more

The staff was just there no smiles or welcomes, The manager (older male), who was dressed in a suit, was walking around just observing the crowd was the first movie of the day--10:45 showing, so it wasn't hectic yet. No directions provide when entering, so i was disoriented at first as it has been 2 years since I've been in a movie theater. When I approached the manager for a directive for digital tickets holders and where to go, he continued to walk by me and loudly addressed me from 4 feet away. Read your instructions! Which was a little unprofessional, and this was the first time since covid that I came back to the movie theater. I can get ignored at home, instead of going to a place I spent $100 on tickets and concessions. Cmon you need better customer service and better signage to know where to go! Concession is good for god popcorn could be better drink station rocked! read more

I am a regular at emagine and recently had a poor experience:( As my food was being delivered, the employee was eating my food... I also have gotten the wrong order multiple times.

Not bad the seating was cool but those cuddle seats are the worst,, they are way to close you can't even enjoy the movie .. lol whoever designed that setup clearly doesn't watch movies lol also for it to be like a more upgraded movie theatre they should definitely have it where you can order at your seat like most deluxe theaters with bars in them read more

It said that this theater was updated and it looks exactly the same as it did when it opened. It said they were recliner seats when we got tickets and they literally haven't updated these seats in over 15 years. My seat had the bottom busted and we had to scoot over, floor was sticky, and staff wasn't very pleasant. Go somewhere else read more

My sorority sister and I were targeted and experienced direct harassment and disrespect from the general manager Kevin Morgan. The lights went out and then a man walked up to my sorority sister and I and he loudly to We were startled because we did not know who this man was approaching us. He did not say his name nor tittle, he just walked up to us and it scared me. I said ok to the man because I did not know if he was a outraged movie goer and we wanted to remain safe. Once he walked away, I felt confused, humiliated and embarrassed. The movie began and I was not able to enjoy myself nor focus on the movie because I kept thinking about what just happened. Once the movie was over, my sorority admitted that she too was not able to enjoy the movie do to what happened. Before exiting the movie, we saw the man in the theatre alongside two movie theatre workers and thats when we realized he worked there. We then went up the stairs in the movie theatre to talk to the man. He saw us coming, exited the door while closing the door in our faces, instead of holding it for us. We opened the door and asked the man if he could please identify himself by name and title because he did not have a badge on or anything. The man then said he was the general manager and his name KEVIN MORGAN (general manager). I then explained to Mr.Kevin that I was not recording the movie on my phone, and that he ruined the experience for my sorority sister and I today. Mr Morgan then said he didnt ruin the movie for me because the movie hadnt started. I told Mr.Morgan that he can not say how his approach made us feel, and if the movie had just started that is proof to him that I was not recording the movie because there was nothing to record. Mr.Morgan then very nastily said, even if you dont record your phone must be put away inside your belongings and it is his job as manager to approach anyone who doesnt have there phone put away. My sorority sister and I felt targeted considering we were the only African Americans in the theatre and the other patrons who had there phones in there hands were not approached as we were. We told Mr.Morgan this and he disrespectfully giggled and smirked and said phone must be put away and I am PROUD of you for putting the phone away when I asked. I then told Mr.Morgan that although my sorority sister and I appear young, we are grown professional college educated women in our 40's and did not need to be told that he was proud of us like we were children. We then asked to see the policy stating that the phone must be put away in our belongings. Mr. Morgan said ok and took us to read the policy. As we thought, it is not in the policy that the phones must be put away in your belongings. We then expressed to Mr.Morgan that the policy did not read that we must put away phones in our belongings and he stated that the wording was off, but that is what it means. I stated to Mr.Morgan that it clearly does not say phone must be put away in belongings. I again told Mr.Morgan that I felt humiliated, targeted, harassed and that he ruined our experience. Mr.Morgan refused to give a apology he just continued to smirk and grin. I then expressed to Mr.Morgan that he should not treat movie goers in this way, when they spend alot of money for the movie and experience and that I planned to write reviews showing how my sorority sister and I were treated so poorly. Mr.Morgan then said "well go ahead and write your reviews, I am the general manager" very disrespectfully brushing us off. He never gave a apology to us and treated us as if we were trash. Mr.Morgan then stated to us that he was done with the conversation, to make sure we write our reviews, giggled and walked away. My sorority sister and I were in shock, belittled, humiliated, felt harassed and targeted. Mr.Morgan did not respect us as customers enough apologize for ruining our experience. I have never been treated like that at a theatre and I feel like there should be some repercussions for being treated so terribly. I feel like no one deserves to be targeted, and treated as such regardless of there race or age. read more

Everyone in the area is so excited to see this theater reopen! We've all been waiting and were so happy to hear the rumors were true! So today we stopped in to see an early movie and check out the theater. So here is my honest review. The last time we were here was March 2020, less than 24 hours before everything shut down. The entire theater looks the same. Nothing appears to be new or improved. Which is fine, there was nothing wrong with the theater, pre-COVID. I was surprised to see not a single employee wearing a mask. No COVID safety protocols seem to be in place. For example, the employee handled my credit card, put it through the card machine herself, handed me a pen and asked me to sign for my purchase, and gave me an empty drink cup and had me fill my own drink in the public refill station. And yes, all these things are fine... pre-COVID. I'm fairly comfortable as is, so I wasn't bothered, but I've yet to see another business this far away from safety protocols being in place, especially when comparing to other movie theaters. So if you're not comfortable with things being as if there was never a pandemic, then don't come. Seats are not assigned nor socially distanced between parties. Masks are not required or suggested, whether vaccinated or not. The popcorn is TOTALLY different than it was at this theater before. And that's not a good thing. The popcorn texture seemed a bit stale, was not warm, and the butter was more oily than other theaters. It just didn't stick to the popcorn. The food prices were really steep too. The #1 combo with a large popcorn and large pop was $15 and change. And a small drink for a child, almost $6. That's insane. For one adult and one child to go to the movies before noon, it was $35. We didn't get any candy or anything special. Cinemark in Valpo is much more affordable for concessions and their popcorn is much better quality. Again, very disappointing because this theater had better popcorn than others under the previous ownership. The signage inside the theater isn't complete. No arrows to show you which theater numbers are on which side, so luckily I remembered from last time. But again, they just opened, so I'm sure they're still getting set up. On Fandango it said assigned seating and "rocker seats". No... just basic red velvet seats covered in fuzz from peoples' clothing. Which brings me back to the COVID cleanliness protocols (or lack there of), how do they clean the seats??? That's impossible with these. The lights were on and very bright in the theater. We couldn't even see the previews and then had to get up and tell an employee that the lights were still on, missing the first 5 mins of the movie, which also started late. The employee stated they were the cleaning lights. Whatever. Just annoying. Again, I know they're working out all the kinks since they just opened, but we were not very impressed. We miss the joys of this theater from before and are really hoping they'll work things out and get better. We will give it another try in a month or so. For now, we will stick to Cinemark in Valpo. Cheaper concessions, cleaner, feels safer (COVID wise), and they seem to know what they're doing. Edited to mention, both myself, my child, and the two others who came to the movie with us complained of feeling really ill from the popcorn. We just all felt off the rest of the day and continued to burp up the popcorn into the evening. None of us have ever had that type of reaction from popcorn. Hopefully it's not a cleanliness issue. read more
