AMC Star Gratiot 21

This movie theatre is absolutely disgusting. The seats and floor are always dirty and sticky, as are the bathrooms. Patrons are extremely rude, narrating the entire movie and constantly texting on their phones. I went to see 50 Shades of Grey on Valentine’s Day with my friend (her idea) and a lady brought in her child who couldn’t have been more than THREE years old! The AMC website states, «And children under the age of 6 are not allowed after 6:00pm.» I don’t understand how that was acceptable as one of the people who works there ALWAYS IDs me for R-​Rated movies (I am 27 years old)… Completely unacceptable.

This was the last time I will ever go to this movie theatre. These inconsiderate fools showed 25 minutes of trailers before the show finally started. To top it off the movie stunk.

I use to come to this theater as a teen. Returning as an adult with my children ruins my memories of this place. It’s dirty. I had gum stuck in my cup holder and my seat. The floor was sticky. The concession counter had rude service and extremely high prices (ex. $ 18.75 for a popcorn and 2 cokes). For how much they charge for a matinée and food, there is no reason this theater should be as run down and dirty as it is. I won’t be returning.

Star Gratiot was my go-​to theatre growing up, and how awesome I thought to myself when moving less than a mile away from it?! Well, not awesome. I’ll gladly drive miles away to see a movie before coming here. The only nice thing I can say is that the staff is always friendly and nice. That being said, they really need to check theatres more.
The past few movies I’ve seen here have been completely ruined by the commentary of EVERYBODY else in the theatre. Every. Single. Time. I’m not sure how hard it is to keep your mouth shut for two hours but clearly a lot harder than I realize. I’ve complained, the staff said they’ll send in more ushers, and never do.
Last night was the last chance. Saw the 7:30 Furious Seven showing. Not only did the row of ladies not shut up behind us («omg, is he dead? Did she dye her hair? The rock is so fine!» ugh shut up already) but there was A BABY in the theatre! Stroller and all, crying when it got loud. Done. Why would you allow a baby in a theatre showing an adult movie? I’ve never seen this happen at any other theatre before.
So unless you enjoy wasting your money on comments, crying, cell phones flashing and all other rude things most people are taught not to do, I’d advise to go somewhere else.

I came here all the time growing up. Now i wont go here period. My uncle lived right behind here in the subdivision for 50 something years. And recently moved out because of the way the neighborhood is going. Anyways back to the theater.
Its dirty
Its slow
Its staff is a joke.
And its just downright disgusting.
I dont go here period. Last time i came here i was stepping in popcorn from the last movie. From the staff to the customers, nothing sits right with me about this place. Good luck if you decide to go here. Amc on john r has reclining leather seats and a bar with alcohol! Its clean and the staff can actually manage a smile. Lol go there.

My wife and I had gone on a date night to see the long awaited American Sniper. Based on a true story, American Sniper is full of strong Christian faith, self-​sacrifice and patriotism. To us, the movie was endlessly captivating and full of jeopardy; Clint Eastwood does a magnificent job directing! That said, after countless killings, even the audience may become war weary. Also, a couple characters lose faith and courage. Finally, AMERICAN SNIPER contains many «f» words, extreme violence and some lewd content. AMERICAN SNIPER is a powerful but difficult movie for patriotic people of faith and values.

The most disgusting theatre I’ve ever been in. From the management who I complained to, to the ushers, to the people who ripped the tickets, everyone was pissed if you even talked to them! Example: there was a patron talking on the phone and SMOKING a cigarette while the movie was going on! I complained and was told «we can’t help how people react to the movie» implying that because we saw a scary movie, apparently it’s ok to talk on a phone and smoke! Whatever. Also the theatre looks like it should be fumigated ! Totally filthy… not much more to say. I wish I knew how to give ZERO stars, that’s what this dump deserves.

AMC is not really my pick when I think of theatres to go to. In fact, in the last year I’ve only seen 4 movie at any AMC and that’s simply because they were showing a movie that my local/​more preferred theatre was not.
With that being said, this theatre is basically on my «last resort» list. The employees have not been very friendly to me at all. Telling me I should not see a certain movie, even though I’m the one giving them business? No thank you. This has happened twice this year (I was seeing Bad Words and What If) If I’m of age and giving a company additional business, I really don’t think I should be treated in such a way that I was. If a movie was not your forte, fine. But don’t try to discourage another moviegoer of the experience they wish to have.
The concessions are typical of any AMC theatre. They really only win me over because they give you the option of a bottled water with your kids pack (hey, a girl can get a kids pack. don’t judge for trying to save money!) Popcorn is good but you’ll have to pay extra if you like seasoning on it (why is that a thing?!)
As for the theatre itself … not the comfiest or cleanest. You often have to play «musical chairs» to find a comfortable seat and even then you’ll probably leave the movie with your booty in pain. Popcorn is often left in the theatre and you may also find the floors to be a bit sticky, so here’s your warning. I used to work at a movie theatre so I know what has to happen while cleaning a theatre after a showing. Not really sure if the people at this location are up to speed on that!
I recommend driving the extra few miles and going to a different theatre instead. Walking into Star Gratiot feels like you’re stuck on an abandoned island. Dirty, deserted, and lonely.

Had a decent time at the theatre, the man behind the counter was helpful. I don’t like that there are fewer regular showings than there are 3-​D showings of each movie but they can’t control that. Had a good time, the floors weren’t sticky so that was nice.

I’ve been to this theater twice. The first time wasn’t too bad, but the 2 d time I got a glimpse into what everyone was talking about. There is Little to no effort put into care and management for this theater. The theater has potential if they shutdown, did a deep clean, and hired new management. Unfortunately, the state of this theater reflects the community. Such a shame.

Hmm … well on the positive side, the movie plays. On the negative side, guys it’s just not clean. I always feel like I have to take a flea dip after leaving this theatre. When we go to the movies, which we do very often, it should be the total experience that a review is based on. I mean, we’re reviewing the venue, not the films, right?
Ok so this theatre just needs a makeover maybe, and a good scrubbing. Lots of concessions not being used and the main hall of the theatre is like an abandoned street. At one time it was lined with video arcade games and movie prop showcases and standies and other interesting-​to-​look-​at items. Plus it had the second concession stand that was operating and the place seemed … I don’t know, more alive I guess. It’s dreary in comparison now and all you want to do to get into your assigned theatre and watch the movie you paid too much to see.
This place is a «last-​minute-​decision» place for us, and only if there isn’t time enough to get to another theatre.

This place is absolutely disgusting… I don’t know how can AMC keep their tag on this dump…
Perfect spot for making a low-​fi horror movie…

I LOVE AMC Theaters, their stubs program is great.
This specific theater is absolutely disgusting!
We go here because it is close to home, but it is quickly wearing out it’s convenience.
The Ticket Kiosk NEVER works.
The last 3 times there has been something wrong with the movie/​theater.
1. The lights didn’t get turned off when the movie started. The Hubs went out 15 min into the movie to tell someone, and it took another 20 min for the lights to get turned off.
2. The Hubs and I went to a late (9pm)showing of a movie that had been out for a few weeks. Commercials/​Movie/​Trailer was not showing. After waiting the Hubs finally went out and told someone they started it 20 min late.
3. Today the sound was all off during the trailers, they had to shut everything down, and once they started the movie, they cut off the first part of it!
No more. I am done with this location. AMC has really let this theater go. The staff is slow, and this place is SO run down.

Great place to catch a good movie

I usually don’t go to this location, mainly because of the cost to enjoy a movie. I visited a couple weeks ago to see an action movie and did not find the building to be noticeably dirty. The men’s room was adequately clean, although the trash receptacle was full and needed to be emptied.
Otherwise, a nice layout. That said … whew! What’s with the $ 19.50 for a large popcorn with two large drinks combo? For 20 bucks, I can get a couple meals with drinks at a local restaurant. I kinda feel like I’m getting fleeced when I have to pay that amount for a ‘combo’. Yet, another local favorite theater of mine doesn’t charge nearly that amount (over $ 5 cheaper), and yes, even at $ 14 it’s still too high.
I guess I visit once every 2 or 3 years. I’ll return, but not as often as my visits to the other local theater.

Consider my 1 star a gift!
This place was DISGUSTING!!!
Like I need a flea bath after we left!
See the pic posted… that’s what the seats looked like in every theater we looked in.
The entire building was like this.
Like we just got dropped of in SKANK TOWN USA!!! I’m ok with something being old and a bit dirty that happens. But this was just GROSS!!!
We wanted to leave but the «manager» said the reason we wanted our money back was not a valid reason for a refund! SPECIAL!
So unless you are on a date with someone you don’t like or you happen to be out with your worst enemy DO NOT GO HERE!!! EVERRRRRR!!!

Absolute DIVE!
