    Nice movie theater just off Grand River in downtown Brighton. The theater has 20 separate movie screens that offer great site lines to the screen due to elevated/tiered seating where the seats are the newer individual powered luxury seats that give you adjustable seat angles and adjustable lower leg support. Very comfortable. The theater is clean and adorned similar to other MJR's where they have a full concession stand to include a bar that serves alcoholic drinks for adults. Contrary to some of the other reviews I have seen on this business all the staff was very pleasant and helpful and considering we had a passel of kids with us on this trip where it was like trying to herd cats I definately appreciated the staff's patience with us. One thing definately worth highlighting is the ability to rent a whole theater for a stand alone party for just $150. We were here because of this where we had all our extended family doing this event as part of a birthday celebration for one of my grandkids. What a great economical way of doing an event like this especially during these trying Covid times where you can enjoy a movie and let the kids roam around and do what kids do with no worry of bothering other paying customers or safety concerns due to the virus. Definally a big thumbs up for this event option MJR offers. Overall I was very pleased with this business and will definately be returning in the future as this theater meets all my main criteria that I look for in a good movie theater.

    We went to see a matinee and it wasn't busy. We purchased tickets when we arrived and there wasn't a wait. However, the concessions area was busy and short staffed. We ordered a large popcorn so that we could get a refill. We asked for a tray and cup of water. I love how big the tray is! I wish all theaters gave this tray out upon request! I went back to get a refill but they don't have a designed refills line. Plus, the employee had to walk ALL THE WAY around the popcorn station to get my refill. What an inefficient set up. It took forever and a day. If you want butter, you can add it yourself (self service station). They just hand you a bag of popcorn. It's good popcorn though. The reclining chairs are OK, but the seat is still a bit upright.

    First time back since covid. I watched the movie "Nobody". There were 4 people total in my movIe and a lot of space. I did order a drink and popcorn of course. I think I saw a total of 6 employees working. The theater was very empty and felt lonely. The theater and the employees are following the CDC recommendations for covid. Thank you to MJR and the employees who are working so I can be entertained and enjoy the theater experience.

    It is a good place to go there is a lot of machines to put your popcorn and on the seat they have recliners. I would recommend a friend.

    Amazing! I wish you offered coffee and perhaps some healthy snack options (almonds, individual veggie trays, hummus, etc).

They have bizarro…read more"cuddle seats" in the very front - not sure why anyone would want those except for possibly illicit reasons? But ignoring those, the rest of the theater is all nice recliners that also have a heating switch. One thing I really like about this theater is how much space there is between rows; even with the seats fully reclined, you don't have to squeeze by people if you need a restroom break in the middle of the movie. The sodas and slushies are self-serve and they also have five different types of powdered popcorn seasoning that you can apply. Surprisingly, though, they didn't have any butter dispensers - I suppose you could always ask for more from behind the counter, but I do like being able to control the amount that's put on. They have a pretty widespread concessions menu and they will bring out your hot food to you in your seat. Prices for concessions are average and tickets are reasonable - $9 for a matinee and $11 for night. The lobby area is notably nice - there is a self-playing piano, a fireplace, and a full bar area. It was also impeccably clean in the lobby and restroom. Employees were very friendly across the board. This is clearly a very well-maintained theater and I would definitely go back.

Only downside is people do not know how to turn their phone off. Our scheduled movie was 8:10 and it didn't end up starting until 8:45.

    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.
