AMC Theaters aren't just good, they are good for you. Especially if you have a special needs child. AMC has a wonderful program called Sensory Friendly Films where kids are encouraged to get up and dance,walk, shout or sing! This program is run in conjunction with the Autism Society of America.
The program provides a special opportunity for families to enjoy their favorite films in a safe and accepting environment. The auditoriums dedicated to the program have their lights up, the sound turned down so the children and their families are free to enjoy the movie as they want/need to.
This is a nationwide program and we are fortunate to have three participating theaters in the Metro Detroit Area: The AMC Forum 30, AMC Gratiot 21 and the AMC Livonia 20.
The program run approximately once a month. The next showing is The Smurfs 2. According to AMC's web site, all showings are at 10a.m. local time. For more information on this program, please go to http://www.amctheatres.com/programs/sensory-friendly-films.
There are many choices for going to the movies but I think this is a pretty good reason to give AMC Theaters a shot, especially if you have not already.
When I used to go to the budget theater at Universal Mall, people were jumping out of their seats and shouting at their screen all the time....
