Cinema Detroit — Local services in Detroit

I was really excited to check this place out. Ticket prices were reasonable, concessions were cheap and tasty, and it seemed like it was just a cool place to see a movie. HOWEVER, before the movie started (Us, 2019), we [the entire audience] could very clearly hear what must have been another theater, someone blaring their TV, or something like that. The movie started and this noise clearly was not going away. Understandably, I could hear multiple groups of people complaining about it and a few folks got up within the first few minutes of the movie to go ask about it. They all came back more upset than before. From what I could overhear, there was apparently nothing that could be done about the noise. I mean, it was legitimately LOUD. A film like Us is one that uses silence very well and strategically; however, all the theater could hear during those quiet moments was Investigation Discovery (or some other true crime show... from what I could tell). I was really disappointed. The theater desperately needs more soundproofing. It has brick walls, hard ceilings, and concrete floors. Very little acoustic damping or general insulation anywhere. Based on other reviews, it seems that our experience was unusual, but I definitely will not return until they've...

I’ve visited this establishment many times. I’ve dealt with the most uncomfortable seats in the world, the terrible sound affect, just this past winter a day after big snow fall there parking lot wasn’t cleaned of the snow Then finally this Sunday 10/01/17 Iwent to see the 530 Columbus movie and it was showing in the tiny screening room. The noise was so loud from the other theater you clearly hear it in The screening room. I went and said something to the owner (glasses semi bald guy) he said he would turn the sound down. He never did. Sound level was still the same. When the movie got out I complained to his wife Blond Hair Glasses about why he didn’t lower the noise. She rolled her eyes at me and said he did and was telling me something about the sound level this high dialogue this high, talking to me like a little child rolling her eyes. Weird thing is this doesn’t happen at The Michigan Theater or Main Art where you hear noises from the other theater.

I didn’t enjoy the movie because of the noise and the owners weren’t concerned about my complaints they roll their eye’s at you and lie to you. I’ve spent my last dime...

This is a great, independent, local theater that consistently shows an excellent mix of Hollywood, indie and art films, along with being a host venue for a number film festivals and other events. The auditoriums are small and have a cool industrial look. Image and quality are very good even without Dolby Atmos, Laser Projectors or other modern film presentation gimmicks. Prices are reasonable and the seats are comfortable though not entirely connected to the floor. My only complaint would be that there's no slope to the floor so if someone tall sits in front of you or if you're short, seeing the complete screen can be hard. The trade off, though, is that the front row is the best place to sit unlike in...
