This movie theater is really nice. It has reclining seats, big screens and they even deliver food to your seats. Overall one of the best movie theaters in the area.

Emagine theatres are simply the best movie-going experiences in Michigan. From the video/audio quality to the great staff to the popcorn. A+!!!!!

I was comfortable while I watched my movie. Better parking options are needed. It was difficult trying to figure out where to pay for valet. Valet parking was weird as well.

Great looking theater. Super clean. Nice size theater rooms. Only losing a point for parking. Valet was steep. $5 for less than 2 hours and $5 more for more. Also valet closed very early (6pm) with them telling us that if we weren’t back on time that the keys would be dropped off to a local hotel. The free parking structure around the corner was within easy walking distance but seemed small as we had to circle for a while for someone to leave to find a parking spot.

I won’t go anywhere else. Comfort, amenities, small groups and essentially no lines. The best place in Birmingham/Troy/Royal Oak to catch a movie. I suggest bringing a blanket it can get so comfortable in the reclining seats!

This is my Primary Emagine Theater. The staff are generally very friendly and helpful. Sometimes they validate my parking, if I remember to ask.. They bring the food to you in your Auditorium. Which, is my favorite thing. I cannot stand having my arms full of food trying to get a drink and trying to get seated. The auditoriums are clean and comfortable.

One of the nicer movie theaters I have ever attended. Recliners were very big and armrests went up, which is always a nice perk when you go with your SO. Full bar as well so any drink need is more than covered.

Review №15

Little awkward how you enter the facility, used to have the tickets in the main floor and then escalators up but now youre in a weird hallway just waiting for an elevator, was kinda confusing and seemed shady. The bar is very nice and new, was cool that they had private screening rooms. The theater we were in had really old worn out seats but they reclined and were somewhat comfortable. Def prefer going to the Canton emagine

Review №16

Fantastic Michigan theater company. This location in particular is very cool. After you ride the elevator up to the theater you are greeted with a full bar and a fantastic restaurant high above Birmingham. The theaters are all very comfortable and even though they are not advertised as so are large enough to be a iMax theater. Also look into the Emagine rewards program! You will save a BUNCH of money and you get all kinds of perks for a move lover. I decided to go with the Platinum tear and I dont regret it at all. Its a sizeable upfront cost but if you are a movie lover and visit often you will end up saving with it.

Always nice never had a rude employee who worked here it’s the best and most popular movie theater in Birmingham I get so comfortable I fall asleep and this movie theater is so enjoyable I think about it all the time who owns this movie theater should keep it if not it will probably get dis organized have a wonderful night day morning or evening️

Review №18

One of the best Emagine theaters out there. In heart of downtown Birmingham this location is easy to find with a parking structure in walking distance. Definitely one of the most popular and busiest when it comes to premiers. The decor is modern and updated from their bar area to their concession stands. Purchase tickets via kiosk is simple and quick. Theaters range from their average theater size to the more intimate. Seats comfy and you always feel like you’re at home. Customer service never lacks and management is ready at hand if needed. Love this place!

I went for a matinee around 11AM to see the great Captain Marvel. My experience was Awesome!!! Traffic was very light, as there were only 3 other people in the theater. Concessions staff were friendly and attentive as I was allowed to use my Emagine VIP points for popcorn. The theater was clean and a bit chilly as usual but the movie was so good I didnt mind at all. I will return for more matinee shows!!!

Review №21

I generally have a good experience here, however, the last time I went, our movie was playing in one of their screening rooms. Now, I can see how this would be cool for a private group, but it is NOT an acceptable theater for regular viewing. It is way too small and not worth the $13 ticket price. I dont mind paying that for a large theater with a great screen and usually emagine does a great job with their seating, but I will never see another movie in one of their screening rooms. You unfortunately dont know it is one until you get into the theater. These should be discounted tickets at the very least.

Review №22

Great theatre. There are plenty of garages to park in which are also free in the weekends. Theatre is pretty small, but is very clean and recliners are great. Would totally go again. Only problem is that the theatre is on the fourth floor and you have to take the elevator up and they do not have a stairs option.

Review №23

The theater was amazing, very clean staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Now parking in Birmingham, that a whole other sorry...and that is not a reflection of the theater. There is very little parking outside of the parking structure and the meters only give 1 hour at a time.

Review №28

Nice theater with great seats, but service is absolute trash. Every time I go there, it feels like no one knows what they are doing. I also ordered some food to be delivered to my seat, but after 30 minutes it didnt show up. I had to leave midway through the movie to see what was going on, and found that it wasnt even made! People who work here appear to be rather lazy. Id recommend going here since its one of the best designed theaters in the area, but Id stay clear of buying food/drinks from here.

Been here a few times. Last night we were there for a private screening of Avengers: End Game. Love the downtown ambiance, the emagine experience, especially the bartender, the same guy has been there each time weve gone and hes fantastic. Made me a custom margarita last night and always has great suggestions, its clear he takes a lot of pride in his creations. Overall, great experience from start to finish. Theres a parking garage super close, too, so parking is never an issue, either.

A lil difficult to find our way in for a special invite event but we managed our way and got to our theater. Sure seemed small or mayhaps it was just the way we came in. The staff was pretty nice the theater was clean, seats were comfortable, and the sound was good.If I lived on this side of town I would go to this Emagine, but I am closer to Novi so I go to that 1.We did have a great time and am glad we went.

The theater we viewed Hollywood in had a miniscuke screen and a stunningly small room. Very disappointing. And I intensely dislike being required to take a crowded elevator to get to the viewing room. Popcorns good though and thus the 2 stars.

Review №36

The staff at the concession stand was atrocious I was looking over the menu and the clerk started barking at me NEXT IN LINE, NEXT IN LINE!. Granted there was no one behind me . I advised him I just needed a moment to see what was on the menu. I felt almost bullied into a decision as the clerk just stared at me and wanted to finish his conversation with his co worker. I can understand maybe not having a pleasant day at work but Im just an innocent bystander and any grievance you have maybe should be discussed with your manager and not taken out on customers. Its definitely changed my perspective on this theater which I actually prefer in Birmingham not any longer. This was at 6:30 today I went to see once upon a time in Hollywood.

Review №38

The theater isn’t nearly as large as the Emagine in Royal Oak. You had to buy tickets at the concession stand and there was only one person working. Not a problem if you arrived early. He didn’t give me my ticket or tell me my theater number so I had to return to the counter for my receipt. Kinda disappointed there wasn’t any happy hour specials at the bar (at least none advertised). Another disappointment was they didn’t offer parking validation for the garage. Even for rewards members. Emagine in Royal Oak does this!!

By far the nicest movie theater Ive been to in MI. Right downtown so it makes it convenient to go to the local food spots. Entering the movie you take the elevator and once you arrive you get an upscale feel. They bring the food to your seat and offer chedder and caramel popcorn. 1st pick always!

Very amazing movie theatre. The food prices are ridiculous but it doesnt matter since its super easy to finesse free drinks and slushes, just ask for a water cup. You can even get in for free no one even asks for tickets. Cant forget the free complimentary blankets. Overall, if youre on a budget this is the place to go! Youre welcome.

Pretty good place to catch a flick. Myself, the wife, and kids all went to see a movie and they have this small theater room called the screening room which was actually quite nice. The movie we saw didnt get a huge crowd so the screening room was not bad at all.

Sent this place an e-mail inquiring about there rewards programs. They have 3 types. A base rewards program which is complementary. A second rewards program I think its $12 and change. Ballpark. Then there third rewards program is pretty neat costs over $300 however the perks are pretty awesome. You get priority seating a bunch of free tickets upon sign up ..complimentry parking you earn rewards quicker towards concessions. Honestly a bunch of perks. If your an avid movie watcher thats definitely the program for you. Customer appreciation is always awesome! I would absolutely join the program..unfortunately its only valid for a year and this program does not roll over to other theatre locations. I believe from what I read its only valid at the Birmingham location. Maybe its a trial run and if it goes well itll be valid at all loactions?!

Walked into the place and smelt burnt popcorn, all the slurpee machines were broken, the chairs were ripped, and the theater we were in was disgusting upon entering!!! There was trash all around and popcorn all over the floor from the previous movie! I love Emagine, but this was very disappointing.

Me and my family has been apart of the Emagine family for a few years and as of this year we are PLATINUM MEMBERS which has awesome benefits.We recently (6/23/19) had an event in their private screening room at the Emagine Palladium and the end result is more than I and my family anticipated. They will make sure your experience is first class and they will listen and accommodate all your needs and concerns within reason.I would recommend this venue for private or public screening solely based on the managerial staff and their commitment to us as guests having the best experience possible.And please, if you’re a movie goer like me and my family, please take advantage of the PLATINUM MEMBERSHIP!We frequently visit the Emagine Novi location too. Although that facility does not have a private screening room to my knowledge, the experience and the dedication of the management staff is the same.

Great place to see a movie. Youll pay a little more but choose your seat in a relaxing comfy recliner. Pop and popcorn and all the treats are the way youd expect for a premiere movie experience. Parking available adjacent to the theate for a nominal fee (the first 2 hours are sometimes forgiven). Dine nearby before or after but check restaurants for closing times.

I had a less than perfect experience tonight at the Emagine in Birmingham. A group of friends and I purchased tickets for a 9:30 showing of a movie. Unbeknown to us, the theater locked it’s doors 15 mins prior to the last showing. We arrived at 9:25 and were Locked out of the building until 9:55pm. We only made it in because another customer was headed out. The phone went straight to a voicemail line. We missed about 30 minutes of the movie due to this. Thankfully Will and Jacob were great at correcting the wrong however Emagine should post the times the doors lock somewhere VISIBLE to the customers!

Theater was nice, but we were not expecting to pay for on the street or structure parking. this would be good for folks to know, especially if you want to enjoy your movie and not be worried about a parking ticket while in the theater. parking from 9a-9p on the street: 6 quarters for one hour! no wonder the area is so nicely built up, profits from parking violations must be good revenue for the city unless you know better. we asked staff if there was such a thing as free parking: not really was their response. there are many other safer, reasonably priced theaters in the area with same seating and alcohol(if thats your pull factor). not worth the bother.

Probably the most comfy recliners Ive ever sat in at a theater, with an electronic button to adjust the position. I had some trouble inserting my credit card at the kiosks to buy a ticket so had to get one at the concession stand. The elevator took a long time to arrive as well. Overall, good redisign of the building since I have last been many years ago

Review №97

I can only Emagine (see what I did there?) what the owners of the Palladium building must charge for rent, because this theater really takes it out on the customers. Even for Birmingham, $12.50 for a beer is pretty steep. If youre hoping for an all inclusive theater / meal experience, getting out of this place alive for less than $50 bucks is an accomplishment in itself.Who needs the peace and quite of Netflix and chill when you can get out there to theater and bill?Given the laughably high industry pricing standards for basic snacks that you could otherwise sneak in for pennies on the already exuberant theater dollar, its no surprise that you have to be gainfully employed at the executive level to even see a movie these days.But despite the industry prices, I really have to hand it to Emagine. They provide a truly welcoming experience that somehow keeps me coughing up money for more. After all, once youve tasted the good life, would you really want anything less?And having paired great (and very comfortable) seating with an undeniably powerful audio / visual system, youre in for a treat. (My ears are still ringing from having survived the soundtrack to Blade Runner.)
