Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Liz P.

I won tickets for this place from a fellow blogger, and since seeing a movie at a drive-in has always been on my bucket list, I was excited to try it out. I spoke to the people on the phone earlier that day, because originally I was supposed to pick the tickets up at the office there; however, it closed at 8 and we were only going for the later movie. They agreed to hold my tix at the restaurant bar for me, which was easy to find and pick up. Once you get there and pay at the booth, you receive a booklet with instructions (what radio ststion to tune in to, etc.) and are directed what screen to go to. My boyfriend hadn't seen the new Mission Impossible yet, so we went to see that. We could see the Minions/Ant-Man screen from where ours was, but I'm not sure where the 3rd screen was - somewhere beyond that, I think. You're able to walk to the concessions stand and prices are reasonable - we got a small soda ($2.75), an ice cream sandwich, and a slice of pizza ($3 each). They also do have port-a-potties but I (regretfully) had to use one later and it smelled pretty bad.... I'd recommend only using it if extremely necessary. The concessions stand closes around 11-11:15pm, FYI. Also, if you're in a sedan, the spaces closest to the screen are reserved for you; originally we parked behind the SUVs and trucks and then between movies, we switched. If I were to go back here, I'd bring a handheld radio and some lawn chairs, though - that seemed to be the way to go. Overall, it was an interesting experience, and for $10 a person, is not a bad deal if you stay for both movies. Plymouth is a little far from me but I'd like to go again next summer.

Nice night out and not too expensive. Three screens each with a different double feature. Easy to find a good view of the screen.

My husband and I couldn't remember the last time we had been to this Cinemark (all signs point to…read morepre pandemic?) and I was honestly a little apprehensive about how it would be since a lot of theatres have been falling by the wayside but to my pleasant surprise it's actually still in pretty good shape! Typically we go to another theatre that's a bit closer with some better amenities (a fairly robust food, menu, a full bar, etc) but we came here because it was the only theatre in the area showing a movie we wanted to see. Gone are the days of the giant movie releases where multiple concession counters are open, so parts of the building do feel like of deserted, but it was still pretty busy for a Monday night and there was a bit of a line, though it did move pretty quickly. A lot of it is grab and go (including most hot food), so it's convenient and quick, though the quality does suffer a bit not being made to order (compared to their local chain competitor who delivers your food to your seat). I got the chicken fingers and we split some fries and they were ok. Not great but not terrible. It got the job done. We also split some popcorn which was freshly popped. I'd probably just stick to that and a soda next time. The theatres are clean and the seats themselves are recliners and pretty comfy and in good condition. Projection was good, as was the sound. Commercials/trailers were almost a half hour long which felt a bit like overkill, tho. Over all, it was fine. Not impressive enough to get us to change our regular theatre but serviceable for a visit now and again.

Just past the southeastern edge of Ann Arbor, over the Ypsi line, lives this monolithic box built…read moreon a scale of a bygone era. It's not quite a dying mall, but much of the vast expanse of parking lot is crumbling and in shambles. Fortunately, the front parking lot is fine, and as far as I can tell the building never comes close to reaching its maximum capacity. Did it ever? Are there even that many people in Washtenaw county? The inside matches apace with concession stands aplenty. However most sit empty and vacant. The one up front is active and pops the very familiar movie theater style, overly salty corn, smothered in butter flavored grease, for a small fortune. I'm really spoiled when it comes to popcorn. If you can find the White Cat kernels from Indiana, and pop them at home, you'll be spoiled too. But I digress. I did kinda like the efficiency of the concession operation, with the attendants behind the counter getting you your food and drink, and then walking up to the register to pay. That said, the person at the register looked a little dead in the eyes. Can't blame 'em. It seems like a brutally monotonous gig. The theaters themselves are fine. Some are smaller. Some are bigger. Can't say I love the bzzzzzz bzzzzzz of the reclining seats. Can't say I love the IMAX experience either. It's been a long long time since I've seen an IMAX, but I remember the screens being bigger. If I'm not mistaken at one point the minimum size of an IMAX was three stories tall. Perhaps they have made adjustments to the standards in the past 20 years to smooth the path to more screens across the US. Ultimately, I'm glad we have a multiplex in the area. Not everything shows at the smaller theaters in town. That doesn't mean that I don't feel guilty about seeing pictures at the big chain. Perhaps it helps that the experience of Cinemark and their convenience fee for buying tickets online, and all of their pricing shenanigans that try and get you into the Movie Club, fills me with a bit of rage. The bottom line is that Cinemark is fine. Theoretically it could earn bonus points for some of the interesting international films they show, and a few fringe offerings to boot, but the negatives cancel those out. Better concessions and fewer pricing shenanigans would elevate the experience and actually make me want to go there, as opposed to just ending up there when it's the only spot showing a movie I want to see.

There was a ton of staff working, I would honestly say too much. There were so many staff that they were constantly in the way when trying to get to the bathroom, drinks, or butter. The pop stations are easy to get to if you need a quick refill. I do like that the theater isn't overwhelmingly large so if you need a quick bathroom break, you don't have too far to go. I did dock a star because I feel the screens are pretty small. Overall, we love coming to this theater!

Plenty of showtimes for any movie, even if the showrooms are smaller than your standard AMC. I enjoy that small and intimidate feel! Our movie shut off within maybe ten minutes into the movie. Staff was prompt to fix it, and without any of us asking, everyone in our theater number received each a free admit one ticket for any showtime and any movie. I appreciated that, and so did everyone else in the theater. I don't think I heard as many "thank you's" all at once! Staff was also apologetic for the error. Hey, mistakes happen. Nice to know a theater cares about the movie going experience for their customers. That's how you know that's a business you'll continue to support. I'll be back phoenix theater, Livonia, thank you!

Catering to not just the English speaking audience, but with movies from far away lands such as India in different languages, this place really is a cinema for everyone. Dolby, THX sounds, 3D movies, IMAX movies, a visual paradise. Well, yeah, you got to pay top dollar specially during the evenings and weekends. And the seats...They have renovated and redesigned that experience as well. Plush leather seating sofa like chairs, with electronic touch push button controls nestled at your right side of the seat controls the reclining functions as well as the prop-up for your feet, so you can really immerse yourself in that 1 to 3 hour movie that you and your loved ones went to see. Yes, finally a movie theater I shall recommend all my friends and family to. YOU WILL LOVE THE EXPERIENCE!!! Heck...I do. Going there again, tonight. See you there!! Ohh no Pepsi products anymore, now they endorse Coca Cola brands.. Well one minus to a lot of pluses. I can live with that.
