Very friendly people. Just ask any employee and they will tell you movie bios, recommend ations on pictures, and upcoming features. Great counter service. And they sell their movie posters. Love it for a quiet Sunday afternoon b4 7:30pm.

Employees are friendly and theater is nice, but the children that they allow in that disrupt the movie and destroy the experience is too much. These are high school kids that constantly talk, pull out their phones, change seats, and dont get punished. Movie was great, experience was not. This has happened on multiple occassions. We will not be returning.

Not the newest theatre but cleanly kept, comfortable seats and decent prices. Will definitely go here again vs facing the crowds of people in Dublin.The shake and share popcorn tub is genius. First place I’ve ever seen this and it’s awesome.

Movie quality and sound was awesome. Popcorn is delicious. The only downfall is that their pretzels are microwaved in plastic bags, and there isnt any salt on them.

Solid theater experience. Most of the staff are pleasant and friendly. The popcorn is always good. The picture and sound quality are just as good as other places. If you need those cushie seats, this isnt the place for you, but I think those seats are overrated. Ive never had any trouble here.

On Tuesday night, 1/22/19, the temperature was below freezing. The East end of the theater sidewalk was covered with ice and I fell on my left knee and side. I had to crawl to a patch of snow to get up. I am 59 years old and have arthritis in both knees. When I entered the theater I told them what had happened and and suggested they salt the sidewalk. The manager said he had salted three times that day and even tried to chip off the thick ice to no avail. I then suggested they put up a sign warning customers to stay off the ice. My knee bruised immediately and was cut. I asked for and was given a band-aid. During the movie, my knee was really throbbing and my friend missed part of the show to go ask for an ice bag. When I left the theater I walked around the ice to get back to my car. It looked as if a lot of the ice had been removed making me think the first three attempts may have been half-hearted or perhaps never actually happened. No caution sign had been posted.The theater needs to take more seriously the safety of their patrons and certainly be more sympathetic when one of them is injured on their property. (No one said they were sorry Id fallen. No one offered first aid.) Liability issues and personal injury suits should be motivation enough to ensure thorough steps are taken regarding prevention of accidents due to unsafe property conditions. Sympathy toward the injured seems a natural reaction and just plain common sense. I would have appreciated it.

Theatre is fine, when we went they had a boil alert for Bellefontaine. After the band was lifted they served soft drinks. We bought bottled waters that were unopened. We returned them in exchange. There was a special on popcorn(2) sized containers for $5. They were out of those size containers, so you think they might just give you the large at the same price (less popcorn). No they would not do that. What form of math I wonder did the manager take that particular By the time the day. I had to pay more for less. Why? By the time they tried to get their act together, my wife, and I had missed about 20 minutes of the film we paid to watch. Here is a question. If you were the manager, and did not order enough containers to handle public needs. Wouldnt you do your best to make right with a customer ?

For the price you cant beat the deal, for it being local and all, they can use better sound system and probably higher definition, but again.. great deal for the price

Review №21

Great Movie Theatre for cheap prices on everything including the movie ticket and the pop and popcorn with unlimited refills were all pretty cheap and watched a good movie and I would highly recommend that if you like all this movie theater stuff then you should definitely come and check out this movie theater and watch a good movie for cheap... The employees are friendly and I will try not to be all over the place and just stay in one spot and finish our movies...

As the local theatre its pretty good. Not the most exciting but they have your popcorn, soda, plus some video games. And you can watch a movie. I dont see whyd you really want anything else.

Review №25

Good admission price (matinee). Bucket of popcorn is limitless. The lid on bucket is a bowl for you to share popcorn with someone. Put your own butter on the popcorn. You get your own pop with endless refills. No waiting in line. Clean and restroom is clean.

This theater has been in town since I was a child. I love our local theater and visit often. Its not the Easton Cinema 30, but its fair prices and easy access will always make it a winner for me.

Review №34

Adding the new 3D screens and seats with cup holders was a big improvement. They offer student and military discount and the staff are very polite. They increased the concession prices a bit to accommodate but nothing too drastic. They also have clean restrooms with plenty of stalls so no lines. Been going there for years and they have gotten better with age.

Review №46

A lovely small theater for families to go and take a load off. They recently upgraded from film to digital for screening movies which for a smaller place such as itself is impressive. Decent assortments of foods and beverages for sale and many theater rooms for a large selection of movie screenings.

Review №61

This is where I see about 80% if the feature films I go to. It is where I saw my first movie, The Emporers New Groove and where I continue to take the joy out of it. Im not a picky person, so I cant really say that the place is spot-on perfect. But its not bad. I can guarantee you that much. If youre just looking for a place to see a movie then this is quite literally (if youre in the vicinity) the place to go.

They always have the movies that you want too watch. Its a little expensive but they have good pop corn and a nice selection of candy and drinks. They have different genres of movies so anyone can go and have a good time.

Review №75

The place is always clean and neat. Very nice staff. Popcorn is much better since this was written.... But they pop the popcorn in advance and dump it in large plastic garbage bags for their use and the springfield theatre. The popcorn is pretty much always bad.

I like how people are nice. But you guys need to put in new seats they hurt my butt. And i cant get comfortable in them. Other than that its a nice place for me and my friends to go during the weekends.

Could hear the movie next to us through the wall. It was not enough to make the movie hard to watch, but did distract a little.

I was born and raised in Springfield Ohio and chakeres cinema 10 was my first job. Considering these cinemas have had the same seats in them since then and Im now 30 is upsetting. You (chakeres) are OUR theater, unless we drive 20+ minutes to go to a big theater with big comfy seats and...guess what? We do! You dont want to invest in your theaters to keep up with the competition? We will keep driving to them.

If you like to watch a movie with horrible audio and smells like a litter box and the floor is like walking on spilt pop and gum. This place is terrible.

They offer discounts to students and military, but they could use improvement in their seats. Other than that its a friendly atomosphere and carries the movies that you would want to see in a theatre.
