Since the last reviewer wrote about this place, it has closed down and once again reopened…read more However, this time, instead of going head to head with the large cine-plexes showing the same big name spectacles, they have turned it into something truly special. Now they show past favorites as well as newer independent films that may not have made it to the larger theaters. Be sure to check out their website for current showings as they only run for about a week at a time. The historic building has been renovated, though still retains it's classic charm. This place is an old-school haven for movie lovers who don't require the latest 3D effects, enormous screens or stadium seating. Do yourself a favor and take a break from the overcrowded movieplex and check this place out. One last note, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but the popcorn was incredible. It's just like regular movie popcorn, but for some reason I just could not stop eating it. The owner also handed us a bag for the road on our way out of the movie Saturday night. How nice!

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!

Wish their concession stands had a bit more food options however - they only appear to have popcorn, nachos and candy.

I am a huge movie fan but oddly enough today was my first visit to the Farmington Civic Theater. I…read morenow use MoviePass and the Civic Theater is an option, and only 15 minutes from my house, so I decided to try it out. I had heard they do not have recliners, they have regular seats but overall they are comfortable. I will say I'm 5'5" and didn't think there was a lot of legroom, though (which could be a problem if I bring my 6'4" husband with me next time to see a movie...). I will say there is a front row that has all the legroom you could desire though so that's always an option. I came here to see Hitpig tonight, and it was on the 2nd floor - definitely allow some time either before or after your movie to check the second floor out because it's basically like a little museum dedicated to the theater's history, and I found it very cool, especially the old projectors that they have. Both the first and the second floor have bathrooms, also, which was nice. There was a sign on the door to the theater that says on Thursdays they do $2 sodas and popcorn with ticket purchase, which is a good deal. I didn't buy any concessions today but I saw they had soda, popcorn, candy, and a few other things I would imagine. This is a cute theater; not going to lie and say I didn't miss having recliner but I would come back here to see a movie and maybe go out to eat in downtown Farmington afterwards. Also, they have parking for free in the back, behind Basement Burger Bar and the other restaurants nearby.

You can't go wrong with a double feature drive in! For single movies, this may be a bit pricey, but…read moreit's worth it for double features. Bring some lawn chairs to be more comfortable. No alcohol allowed! But snacks and NA drinks are ok. They have a concession stand or you can order pizza from inside the arena. Port a potties are available unless you want to walk in the arena. While the front rows are reserved for cars and the further rows for SUVs and trucks, it can still be difficult to see if you have a big vehicle in front of you. Occasionally, someone will also leave their headlights on. I found that prices have risen since I last visited, but it's still a great deal for a fun night!

They allow you to bring your own snacks and (non-alcoholic) beverages and the spaces are large enough to accommodate camp chairs if you prefer not to sit in your car. We ended up throwing a bunch of throw pillows in the trunk and had a great experience. There is a concession stand and the restaurant in the hockey facility allows you to order food, which we did. The food wasn't impressive and was fairly overpriced for what it was, but they had many options, just not very much for dietary restrictions, so definitely recommend bringing some snacks/eating beforehand. From the perspective of urban planning, this is such an ingenious use of a parking lot that otherwise doesn't get as much use in the summer months. We love land uses that create space for people to gather and enjoy entertainment without having to change the overall location!

The marquee on State Street is one of those sights that makes Ann Arbor. I appreciate the mix of old movies they show. It makes the theater feel alive instead of just another multiplex playing the same few blockbusters. The different theater sizes are nice too and the whole place feels very convenient, comfortable, and community-oriented.

OK, time to show some serious appreciation to our local indie movie theatres! In a time when so…read moremany are closing we're profoundly lucky to have them here in Ann Arbor (alongside the Michigan Theatre) and I admittedly have taken having them here for granted. No more! We've committed to going to see more flicks here. Just tonight we went to see The Phoenician Scheme and had the best time. Pros: * Convenience! It's right downtown and close to so many places where you can grab a quick bite before a movie (we opted for NYPD for pizza tonight). * Really good popcorn! And much less expensive compared to big multiplexes. Today we got a large popcorn and pop combo for a cool $11! It's a bit smaller in size than the bigger guys but the quality is great (very satisfying) and they use real butter, y'all! * Tickets are also not terribly expensive comparatively and, though they only offer a few films at a time, you can see things here they don't screen anywhere else in the area. Especially now that so many theatres have closed (RIP Main Art). State Theatre is a destination! Sure, they don't have the big recliner chairs, and I do admit I miss those, but there's something really special about that old school movie experience. Every time I come here I feel like a teenager again coming here to see Run Lola Run with my friends. It's a special place and I hope it continues on for more years to come. I'll do my part to make it so!
