    Definitely a cut above the average movie-going experience…read more I rather like this theatre, even if it is a little pricier than some of the others in the area, but the positives definitely outweigh any of the negative aspects. Pros: it has an actual full-service bar, so I can get my drink on- I mean serious drinks, too, not just beer and wine, but full-on mixed drinks/specialty cocktails. The drinks are not cheap, though. Let's just call it what it is- "convenience prices," particularly for the beers on tap. Case in point? $10 for a short Angry Orchard??? Yep, that's what I paid. I don't know how much the taller version cost because I didn't bother to ask. Honestly though, the cocktail prices are in line with some of the casinos in Vegas, but we all know the old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," so there's that. Beyond being able to drink here, they have a decent restaurant with regular food, like pizza (i.e. not just popcorn and Twizzlers movie theatre junk). Again, high prices, but you can actually say it's real food, not just candy and junk food. If you're adverse to eating popcorn or fried mozzarella sticks, it might be the way to go. Oh, and for the popcorn noshers, they had a huge variety of cheese/seasoning shakers located in the lobby to season popcorn. I liked the extra options because plain salt is boring. Unfortunately, they are attached to the backboard on a wire, probably to decrease the occurrences of theft. Seriously, who the heck steals popcorn seasoning? As for the theatre itself, this one has super comfortable reclining seats with foot rests. These are the best movie theatre seats anywhere. They were so comfortable, I almost fell asleep during a screening of Alien:Covenant- almost. It's obvious this particular Emagine location was renovated pretty recently. Those seats were new and I could tell. The upgrades were nice and definitely needed. It's obvious this particular Emagine location was renovated recently. I've been here a few times before, but it's much nicer than it used to be, although it always had the bar and whatnot. They also had wait service during the film. Seriously, they took food and drink orders from inside the theatre and brought it to our seats! Emagine staff would drop by and ask if we needed anything from the bar or grill. I liked that! It's the best appointed movie theatre in the area, without a doubt. Getting through ticket purchase and concessions in the lobby was a breeze. Despite the crowd, those lines moved at a lightening pace. I was surprised because I thoroughly expected the line from hell. The cons: there really weren't many. Yes, the ticket price was very slightly elevated (no doubt, to defray the costs of such a nice upgrade), but it was worth it. Plus, they don't have traditional IMAX screens, either, like NCG. Instead, they have 3D and DBOX, which isn't exactly the same. The only other potentially negative aspect (and I'm not even sure if it couldn't be either a pro or a con, depending upon the situation) was that now you have to select your seats on a screen during ticket purchase. Hmm. It remains to be seen whether I really like that change or not. I can totally see why they are doing it- to prevent overselling of tickets and ensuring that groups/couples can sit together. I get it. I just don't know if I love it yet. I also wonder if this new method might cause more headaches or delays during ticket purchase, but I'm not sure. It wasn't a big deal to us at that time, but I could see it potentially becoming a bit bothersome down the line. Like I said, I see why they're doing it, I just don't know if I like it or not. Overall, great theatre with excellent service and amenities. I know I'll be going back.

    On 1-16-26 I purchased tickets and concessions via my emagine rewards app for Zootopia 2 at 6:30pm…read morein Birch Run, MI. Upon arrival at the theater, I checked in at the front desk/concession area. I received my concessions that I pre-purchased. I was alone with my child as a single parent. I grabbed 2 of their trays for the seats to hold the popcorns and drinks and began juggling all of that alone. I proceeded to my theater and was met by a staff member that said they were still cleaning and we would need to wait in the hall. When I asked where I could place the trays and food I was juggling I was told "I don't know" I asked for a manager and I had 3 "managers" come up to me. I explained that I was juggling all of this as a single parent and they said " maybe don't come so early". I said that the staff member should advise the theater doesn't open until 30 mins before a show and she said " we can't catch everyone".... I was then told "enjoy my show there is nothing we can do for you." Nothing like a theatre that isn't "family friendly" and doesn't care about the customer

    This 330 seat art theater downtown is a real hidden gem. The FIA Theater regularly shows a large…read morerange of art house, foreign, music documentaries, Oscar-winning short subject documentary, and small independent films that don't get a large theatrical run. Other than that, it often shows well-respected award-winning films that only pick up steam after the Oscar season and get a second shot at the movie plex after people hear about it. I like this theater because I'm a fan of documentaries, foreign films art house cinema- you know, the stuff that isn't the typical popcorn summer blockbuster or the latest formulaic comedy starring Adam Sandler, not that there's anything wrong with Adam Sandler, but there's more to life than watching his umpteenth comedy where he plays the average joe. Anyway, some of the best and most unique films I've screened here. I recently took in screenings of the Beatles and Iggy Pop documentaries from the cinema's Music Legends series. They were both awesome and included, as all of their films do, a brief accompanying introduction/lecture before the film began. It was cheap, too. Their film series have different prices for the type of film category it is, with the Music Legends series being the cheapest at $2 each. Depending on the type of film or documentary being shown, the prices range from $2 for Music Legends to between $5-$7 for documentaries or foreign language films. Prices and schedules are always listed on the website for the FIA and on posters in the lobby. I also saw the French film, Elle, here a few months back. Complex, thought-provoking entries like that are the norm for this theater. I, for one, don't mind watching films with subtitles and if you don't mind it, either, chances are this theater could be something you could appreciate. The seats are comfortable and the theater appears to have undergone some important renovations. It's spacious, has plenty of seating and a large screen with excellent sound quality. Watching a film here is preferable in many respects to watching a movie at regular theaters with squawking kids, noisy adolescents and ignorant fools talking on their phones during the movie, at least to me. The obliviousness of the average movie-goer is largely to blame for why I have started boycotting most first-run theaters unless it's something I really want to see ASAP. At least this theater doesn't attract the goober slob type talking loudly on their phones while downing Diet Coke with scoops of gooey popcorn. Those people are gross. This is a cash-only theater, at least as of now, but the price is so cheap, who cares? Also, you can't take food and beverages inside the theater, but it's not really a problem and the floors don't stick beneath me while I'm grabbing a seat from spilled soda, which is a good thing.
