Thank you to MJR Theatres for inviting this Movie Geek to be a part of the first audience to view a movie in its new IMAX with Laser auditorium in their Troy, Michigan location. MJR held the ribbon cutting and grand opening for this IMAX Laser location the weekend of July 25, 2025 for what promises to be a huge draw for movie goers looking for a luxury theater experience.
Attendees at the Grand Opening were shown a featurette highlighting how IMAX presentations differentiate from normal movie showings and were the first audience to view a film in the auditorium treated to a screening of Marvel's The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
Watching this superhero flick in FantastiVision (aka IMAX) was marvelous! With a giant villain like Galactus the super-sized IMAX screen along with its high definition presentation really made for a fantastic viewing experience.
This new screen at MJR's Troy location boasts the largest Laser IMAX screen in Metro Detroit and is one of only two to feature luxury recliners. The auditorium employs IMAX's 4K laser projection system that delivers brighter images with increased resolution, deeper contrast, and the widest range of colors, complemented by an immersive precision audio system.
This IMAX theater at the MJR Troy Cinema seats 300 guests and features reclining chairs throughout. Select rows also offer MJR's exclusive VIP Seats which feature heated reclining chairs, side tables, storage compartments, and coat hooks. A huge screen, state of the art projection and audio tech, and really comfy seats!
If you are in the area and looking for a luxury movie going experience than MJR Troy's IMAX theater is the place to go! From my experience, it absolutely earns a Geek Daddy nod of approval from the awesome cinema experience I had being a part of the first audience to see a movie there. I highly encourage you to check it out for yourself! For more information about showings and tickets, please visit mjrtheatres.com.
