First off it smells awful, 2nd the walls in the bathroom are painted a piss yellow, 3rd the seats are awful, ripped up and uncomfortable. The theatres smell weird, and the projectors always have finger prints on them that distracts from the film. Almost every time I've seen a movie at this theatre I have complained, and none of the times I've complained have I been compensated with a free show or anything. Also I have applied a bunch of times and have been told by a handful of managers that they would call me back to set up an interview since I have 4 years movie theatre experience. Overall the theatre is disgusting and needs money put in for a massive renovation. Can't see the loeks doing anything although since they mostly care about the Grand Rapids locations. Mount pleasant stinks and is not very "pleasant"

They aren't great at cleaning the floors. One thing that annoyed me was that they have signs that lie. I went in with my boyfriend to watch Obsession a while ago. We saw a sign that said "AFTER 7pm, people under 16 can't see movies without an adult. It was 2pm when we went in the theater. They told us to leave because we were under 16. Even though it was WAY before 7pm. Besides that though, their popcorn is delicious and you don't have to pay for refills. They have huge screens and the audio is really loud and clear, but not too loud. Most of the time, the workers are very nice and patient. They have really nice drink stations with so many options and you're able to get refills. I love that Emagine often brings back old movies (the Flashback Cinema). There aren't too many previews but even when there are, they're fun to watch. The theater is also just huge in general and that makes it nice.

Ticket pickup experience was good, also could've bought them in person, very easy machines and also line wasn't long. Concessions were super affordable unlike other cinemas, I got a medium popcorn for $8, the large was around 9 and was refillable I believe. There was also a bar with drinks available, and during movie saw people get delivered food or drinks so I think that's an option as well The seats in the regular theater were cushioned chairs, great viewpoint from everyseat. Sound quality was great, if not too loud which I don't mind Just a fun experience, will definitely come again

We had a 9:45 pm showing on a Friday night and were running late. Around 9:50 pm, I stood at the…read morebar waiting for someone to come over, hoping to get a drink. After a minute or two, an employee, who I later found out from another employee was a manager named Georgia I believe, came over and started doing something at the bar facing away from me while I stood there waiting. She briefly looked back, made eye contact with me, and then returned to what she was doing without saying anything. I didn't initially think much of it, as there is rarely someone always stationed there. You usually just wait for someone to notice and come over. When she finished what she was doing, she turned around and asked, "Did you want something from the bar? I just closed it for the night." I assumed that meant ordering was still possible, so I responded, "Yes," to which she replied, "Well, I just closed it for the night." The interaction was confusing and not very pleasant. I ended up sticking to just pop and we proceeded into the theater. Later, around 10:30 pm, I went back out for a popcorn and drink refill but was told that the popcorn machine had shut down at 10:15 pm, so I returned to my seat with an empty bucket. I checked and saw that every movie showing that day had its last screening around 10 pm. Based on this, I assume the policy is to shut down popcorn 15 minutes after the last showing begins and to close the bar whenever the manager feels like it. That's an interesting way to run a theater, especially on a Friday night. We were the only people in our theater, and I couldn't help but hope that everyone else made a better choice by going to Saginaw or Birch Run for an Emagine or Celebration Cinema offering a better and cheaper experience. I've visited the Midland theater probably close to a hundred times over the past 5-10 years. The quality has never been particularly good, and sometimes it has been downright poor, like this night or the previous time when items were hanging in front of the screen during the Nosferatu showing, or other one of the many other times there have been issues. My only hope is that maybe this theater will eventually close and be taken over by a company willing to put more effort. Previously, lower prices could justify overlooking issues, but now it's somehow more expensive than Celebration Cinema or Emagine theaters, and the experience is dramatically worse at every level.

Then as the movie was wrapping up, we are watching the credits waiting for the after credits scene we know is there because we looked it up, and they shut off the movie! They literally stopped the movie before the last scene! Do yourself a favor and just drive to midland for any movie.

Knowing the new owners and how much they've invested in "unglamorous but necessary" infrastructure improvements, I commend them for making long-term investments in this theatre. I love their popcorn and their half-price refills on popcorn and soda. I particularly like the movie choices they make and keeping the movies as family-oriented as they can. Since the change in ownership, Lake Theatre offers matinee showings. I appreciate the commitment the new owners are showing and wish them much success!

That turned out to be unnecessary, but they did mention that some showings had sold out recently. I recommend getting tickets earlier rather than later! You can purchase tickets online or in person. I loved the ambiance in the theater - from the gorgeous velvet curtains to the stars in the ceiling designed by an astronomy professor.
