While you still can you should really go and have the experience of attending community movie theater. Theres no assigned seating that allows the well-to-do gobble up the best seats from the comforts of their iPhone screens. theres no gourmet chef in the kitchen cooking up a gourmet meal that will cost more than most of the people who live in the surrounding area make in a hard working day. Theyre are no punishing add-on fees that would prevent those same folks from being in your kids to see a movie in the theater. Its real. Its you, your neighbors - all of us - and the collective movie viewing experience. Surely it wont exist in five years.

Went a few days ago with my kids. Staff was friendly. But the group of teens in the movie with us were loud and cursing every 5 seconds. Seems to be a common complaint from other posters as well. It ruined the entire family time I had planned with my kids. Also there was a discarded used “item” behind the seats. I can’t even type the word or my review won’t get published. But it was something you’d expect to find in a bedroom and not a movie theater. Disgusting! I always loved coming here, but after this last visit I feel my safety and my kids safety was in jeopardy. And going to management was not an option because I didn’t want a confrontation and I can assure you these teens would have loved for us to go to the manager. Goodbye Stadium 10...it was nice while it lasted.

I went to the Northgate Movie theater today it was so horrible and poor condition and management today. They did not have any nacho only two people was working and the manager was so rude and disrespectful to me I will never go there again. I took my son’s to South point movies which was good service and we got to enjoy our movie.

Theatre has heating issues,popcorn was cold. Ticket prices should be reduced due to only two theatres being warm. Movie played clearly.

It was okay couldve been alot.better half of the speakers worked for the movie bad boys 3 the seats Definitely could go for a overhaul still had a ok time either way

No crowds ,no fancy seats, no fancy food /drink , just good old school theater. Lowest ticket prices in the area . Love this place.

Sound and picture quality have drastically improved over time. Theatre seats are big but theyre old and tattered...time for some repairs. I enjoyed my movie but it being at Northgate Mall...any show always comes with a group of hoodrats that want to talk through the ENTIRE movie!

Went for a matinee. Was great experience. Other than the movie that wasnt good. Lol

Went there today for the first time with my son for a matinee movie. It was fairly sad to see that even though it’s summer, my son and I were the only ones there.What was sadder was the condition of the chairs inside the theater. Almost every seat was falling apart. The covers were torn and the foam padding was exposed. And on some seats, the foam was broken and falling apart.The prices were very reasonable and the service, of the only person we saw working the entire theater at the time, was very good.The theater has potential, but it needs a lot of work.

Went to go see Jumanji which was a good movie The Theater was a very small that we got to see the movie in and it was freezing bad experience the seats were all torn up it was just not a good experience sitting there talk to the manager didnt seem to care he said they new. So if you know why show a movie there.

Convenient, reasonable. Seat covers in some sections need repair but still comfortable.

Dont waste your money here. Something is always wrong at this theatre. The movie will shut off, sound will shut off, or (the situation tonight) someone will set the fire alarms off for fun. We had to leave the movie, got outside and was informed by an officer, about 10 minutes later, that it was a false alarm. Nothing was done to remedy the situation. No apology, they didnt rewind the movie, we just had to watch what was left of the movie in a fully lit theatre, after missing a good 15 minutes of the film. Staff is rude and made no attempt to fix the situation. Oh, and as someone else mentioned the AC doesnt work. Seriously, dont waste money here.

First of all, this cinema/movie theater is definitely worth visiting. Staff friendly and helpful, fresh made popcorn and super-clean restrooms. Rates are family friendly (under $ 10 per person). Would go there again.

I hate I even have to give this place one star just to write a review, but needless to say my experience was horrible! I bought tickets online to see The Lion King. To my surprise the theater was quite empty and very HOT! After finding our seats and getting settled I figured it would eventually cool down, which never happened. Several men attending the movie were fanning themselves with their hats it was so hot. I approached management who told me they would look at the ac I guess that is literally all they did.

I really don’t even know how to rate this theater. Went to a matinee showing and the theater was basically empty and looked somewhat dirty. The seats were comfortable but the theater smelled like a horses stall. It was very pungent and in the air. I don’t mind that odor on a farm but it’s not something I particularly care to smell INSIDE of a movie theater. It was also incredibly annoying that we could hear VERY clearly, The Lion King playing next door to the room we were viewing our movie in. We could hear every musical sequence almost on top of the movie we were TRYING to watch. So, walls are definitely NOT soundproof. I won’t be coming back to this theater. The only reason I went to begin with was because they had a decent time for the movie I was trying to see.

Went at noon on a Sunday to see Endgame the weekend it released. Almost no one there. Tickets were cheap. Seats were as comfortable as expected. They recline to some degree. Would definitely recommend if youre trying to avoid the crowds.

Northgate movie theater is a decent movie location. The service is typically outstanding, and I enjoy the cleanliness of the bathrooms and seating area. Overall I recommend it!

It was very cold, felt like 50 degrees. Couldnt enjoy the movies because I was trying to keep warm.

Almost no one goes here so there are rarely annoying people in the theater

Northgate Cinemas are vastly underrated. The theater is rarely crowded, the staff is chill, and the popcorn is always great. The seats here are very comfortable and mostly in good shape. (Definitely work leather, but there are enough seats to choose from that you can avoid these.) It is pretty cheap on non-Tuesdays in comparison to the plethora of AMC theaters in the area. Northgate Mall gets a lot of hate, but dont let that stop you from checking it out.

There were some good things happing here such as the service but the rest kinda overwhelmed the good. The sound at this theater is harsh and really really loud. The good seats in theater 4 (all the ones in the center) were shredded with the foam coming out of them. The place smelled like urine... I wish it were a nicer theater because I live close but will likely travel across town to a different theater from now on.

I love the short wait to watch the movie I want to see.

This is one of the only negative reviewers I’ve ever written. This place is Poorly run. I got to the theater, bought my ticket, and was then told there was a 45 minute delay, so I couldn’t even get to my seats until 45 minutes after the showtime. then, with 20 minutes left in the movie, was kicked out of the theater when they let the next audience in for the following showing. So basically, I spent nearly 3.25 hours in that theater and didn’t see the ending. It will be my last time at this theater

First time at this theater. It is in desperate need of repair. The seats are barely held together. The screen was slightly blurry, making in difficult to watch the movie and left me with a headache. Silver lining is that there were only 4 people in the theatre.

This is a perfectly serviceable movie theater but it leaves a lot to be desired. The staff is courteous and for the most part professional. The concessions are what should be expected. However, the place is showing its age. The seats are threadbare. The speakers are unreliable. On this particular Friday the air conditioning is out. Management says they are aware of the issue and it is a work in progress. Doesnt make it any less 80 degrees in here. Id be happy to watch a movie here next fall but I think Ill be staying away for now.

For the low ticket prices, I could look past the tattered seats and the lack of air conditioning in the summer, but the sound quality and picture quality are very poor. More often than not, the picture is too dim, or the sound is only coming through one side, or theres some other issue that makes the movie unwatchable. I really like walking over here for a movie, but the management doesnt seem to have any interest in maintaining the basic functions of their theater.

Today is my birthday! Unfortunately, I decided to treat myself and my kids to this poor establishment! The manager was very rude, the heat didn’t work, (mind you it’s January) the seats were all torn up, & they didn’t have anything in order! Just complete TRASH.

Hey there! I went to see Aladdin last night in theater #2. The movie was great! Although there was a bit to many problems. The popcorn was very stale. Way to much butter on it. It made me sick when I got home. ( But it may just be my VERY sensitive stomach. ) The movie was very loud. Seats were uncomfortable and bathroom was disgustingly dirty. Not much toilet paper and most locks broken. The theater was very Hot, its kinda annoying it was in mid 80s during a very hot summer. Staff seemed unfriendly. I hate to leave a 1 star review on a family owned business. Im coming back on Thursday to see a dogs journey but going to avoid the food considering it was so much and made me sick. I hope I can have a better experience. But if not, probably not coming back.

Lots of parking for VA employees

Though this is not the most modern movie theater, its convenient to the Durham VA, and because my husband is a disabled veteran he gets in for free, so I have every reason to take him there. The folks are nice, and aside from the lack of a button for an automatic door to get in and out of the building, the place is fully wheelchair accessible. The seating for wheelchair access is also very good.

Overcomer was a great movie. If you dont like the topic youll be left cold. Otherwise its a lot of fun.

DIRTY NASTY NO FOOD HAVING NO DRINKS HAVING LONG LINE WAITING WORST MOVIE THEATER I EVER WENT TO GOOGLE ASK ME HOW WAS THE MOVIE THEATER AND THIS IS MY ANSWERBY THE WAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY GRAMMAR BUT I DECIDED NOT TO PUNCTUATE ANYTHING TO DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW CARELESS YOU GUYS ARE WITH YOUR MOVIE THEATER OR MAYBE THE CARELESSNESS RUBBED OFF ON ME FROM YOUR NASTY THEATERPREVIOUS REVIEWS STATE THAT YOU GUYS ARE A SMALL BUSINESS BUT EVEN IF A SMALL BUSINESS IT DOESNT STOP YOU FROM BEING CLEAN!OH AND BY THE WAY WHAT POINT IS IT IN HAVING FOOD CANT SERVE IT? THE FREAKING POPCORN MACHINE WAS EMPTY EVERY TIME I STOOD IN LINE THEY DIDNT HAVE ANY POPCORN INSIDE THE MACHINE AND THERE WAS TONS OF PEOPLE STANDING IN LINE. EXCUSE ME I GUESS IM JUST NOT USED TO SUCH TRASH.OH I ALMOST FORGOT I DONT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I DONT COME TO THE MOVIE THEATER TO COMPLAIN TO MANAGEMENT I COME TO THE MOVIE THEATER TO WATCH A MOVIE AND ENJOY MYSELF SOMETHING I DIDNT DO.A WORD OF ADVICE STOP TRYING TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK GOOD BECAUSE YOU CLEARLY DO NOT AND FIX THOSE PROBLEMS THAT YOU HAVE GOING ON INSIDE THAT THEATER.

Great location. Good and quick customer service

Nicest movie staff. Very personable. Theater was clean and no problems with the movie

Didnt show any previews, seats are torn and the place was dirty.This is a reply to Edwin Marti J.D. theGeneral Manager at Northgate.I did not write this reply to be negative or insulting but only to give my honest opinion. I am a disabled Army Veteran who grew up in Durham so dont try and act like i do not understand the struggle of trying to keep up appearances to keep a nice place of entertainment. I was just saying that when I brought my Dad to come see your last showing of The Meg at 9:30pm, which was not the first showing as you stated, he said I scraped my arm on this torn armrest. I heard people sitting next to me saying a lot worse but you only want Google to post the good comments right? It was also disappointing there was not a 3D showing of the Meg offered after 2pm as people do have jobs and cant make those early 3D showings. I also didnt go run and complain about the popcorn and trash because i figured the young man that went in before us to clean must have not seen it or didnt care. Thats on your employees you hired, why not have an undercover Boss day. As a GM, if you cant take constructive criticism from customers, youre in the wrong business. You cant attack people for leaving a review. I understand there ARE people out there that leave bad reviews on many sites just to be disrespectful but this is not that case. Have a Blessed day!Regards,Tonya Evans

Decent place. Not very crowded.Does not do reserve seating but, then i am happy it was not much crowded.Screen quality could be improved and that only thing i cut a star for. But, then i say that after seeing some AMC theaters that charge a bomb and are super packed.Good place for a relaxed day and movie with family.

The theater has great seats and no crowds

We went to see Aladdin today and it was awful. All we could hear was the movie next door (an action flick-think bullets and explosions all through A Whole New World). I went up front and they said there was nothing they could do about the other movie, but they could turn up our movies sound. They didnt. At least this guy didnt tell at meclikecan employee on a previous visit did. Ive had several bad experiences here, so at this point I dont see any chance of me going back.

Northgate is great small theatre furniture could use some fixing but all in all a great place!

Been coming here for 25 years. The last ten years we have come almost exclusively here for every movie! We enjoy the low key vibe, and the staff us generally very nice! Am hopeful that when or if Northgate does go away, that the cinema will stay, please.

My visit to Northgate Stadium 10 fine.A complaint to manager and 1employee today for multi tasking selling tickets and doing Concession stand.Just one thing Ladies restroom short on Tissue paper in the stalls. Especially for the 1st shows.

Good place to watch movies.

I this theater, they really nice seat, but a lot of the seats are in need of upholstery. If they can do that, Ill change my rating to an 5 star.

Sound system is really poor these days. The seats are broken or worn out. Always enjoyed this place but afraid with all the problems the Mall is having the Theater is becoming another victim.

Dump full of loud, obnoxious patrons who bring 3 year olds to R movies and talk through them.

Nice place, dont have to much business. The cinema have the last movies and good price but the sits are in very bad condition ️

Really good just the chairs are messed up

Northgate stadium 10 is a great place to take the kids

Its super nice and I really like it! Ill recommend you going here casus the food is good and not ugly and rotten, the seats are kinda warn out but it doesnt cause trouble while watching the movie, they food is freshly cooled and severed the right way. Ive always liked the building and the way it was build. The only problem is that some of the movies are sometimes packed with people but that only happend to me twice. I do like it here and I do recommend you being entertained at this location :)

Homey... Great movie, free and drink!

Very comfy seats, but bring a coat, they keep it ice cold in theaters

Customer service was ok. I really enjoyed the movie I saw.

My Significant other took me to see Shaft that was a really great movie I laughed through the whole movie I really enjoyed it

Very friendly and patient. Thanks for a great experience.

Terrible. AC doesnt work. Staff rude and nasty. Sound kept going off and there was a false fire alarm in the middle of the film. Didnt get refund. Pathetic.

Love this theatre. The management is customer focused and it flows to their team. Theatre is always clean and comfortable. great location for weekend entertainment in the Northgate area. My first stop for new movies.

Staff (management included)has no personality. They dont smile or greet you. Transients walking in and out to use bathroom rooms. As far as seating goes...floors sticky, chairs squeak. Overall, I enjoyed the movie. Please work on cleanliness throughout (restrooms etc) and customer service skills across the board.

It is a nice stadium but it needs a little work and the popcorn stand needs to stay open throughout the movie.

The management has failed this once great theater and its north Durham customers. We went on a Friday night in December and no one was in ticket booth. No one was collecting tickets! You had buy your tickets at the concession stand staffed by 2 tired teenagers. Some of the posters on the walls were from the summer. The theaters were 90% empty, meaning folks rather drive a half-hour to Southpoint. That say it all.

Reasonable ticket prices and lots of parking. Its a bit old and doesnt have upgrades like leather seats. Not always the cleanest, but does the trick.

Great parking

Its still a good theatre with a student discount. Hopefully it stays open.

Went on a friday night, their late night selection was very limited, it was closer than the other thaetre, but not worth it in the end. Very nice inside, but once I saw their show options I almost drove 25 min to the other theatre.

The heat was broken, but the mgr. Did comp us some tickets for a future visit.

My friends and I go to Northgate Stadium 10 for what we call Girls Night Out. We have a blast. Popcorn is great. Seats are so comfy and we do like it because it is less crowded. It can be as many as 10-15 of us and we call all sit together. We love Northgate Stadium 10. My son and I also go there and he loves it too.Oh and I forgot to mention the great summer movie for kids program.Free Kids Summer Movie Camp2014 Kids Summer Movies Series! Spend some time with the kids while they’re out of school in 2014! Stadium 10 at Northgate offers the summer movie series FREE for parents and children to enjoy together!Movie survival packs include popcorn, drink and candy for only $5Summer Movie Series show on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s at 9:30 amDoes that not sound absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a large group of folks visit the theater and felt very well cared for by the staff. The management was willing to go above and beyond to be sure that our group was comfortable and enjoying our experience. This theater is a GREAT option for large group movie outings!!

Great staff. But the concession stand is often sold out of there special items. No unsweetened tea. Seats need a refurbish or two.REPSONSE to GM: I dont know if you have never had unsweetened tea. But the past 2-3 visits, you have not. As a diabetic, I prefer unsweet tea over diet soda as it can fool your blood sugar numbers.

Great staff, need to improve on food and beverage selection and quality.

The lines moved quickly for us to buy tickets, but the sound quality of the movie wasnt great. Some scenes you could barely hear what they were saying and other scenes (action) were really loud.

Theres nothing like a movie and popcorn for a husband wife date. Only $7 before 6 p.m. and you can always find a good seat. #reclinerseats #datenight

Off the beaten path - worth it. We went for last of the Jedi. The matinee only had 8 patrons, so that was amazing since it was Dec 27th. Staff was very nice and helpful. ticket prices was good price performer. We did not purchase any food or drinks, but it looked clean. Northgate is having a typical mall vacancy but this little theater still can provide a solid experience at the movies.

It was nice the Movie prices are higher in the Evenings an the Refreshments are ok some of them high but good over all

You pay for what you get. Tickets are $9 for adults in the evening which is better than some theaters. Chairs were not very comfortable and made creaking noises Everytime we moved. There was a large spill in the main hallway of the theatre for a while before it was cleaned up. Snacks were good and were cheaper than most other theaters. Despite the few negatives, we will likely visit this theater again.

Fresh peppers for the nachos N leather seats. Seats I can wipe down. Always a win for me.

It was hard to really enjoy the movie with the temperature in the theatre in the mid 80s.

The good: Friendly staff. big comfortable seats, clean rest rooms. The downside : Very hard to find the entrance. They need more signage to give directions, both for parking and the theater entrance

Older multiscreen on end of giant mall. Showing its age but quite acceptable sound, screen, and seats. Great prices on matinee. My theatre, however, did not smell to good.Thanks for asking! #8 for Blackkklansman at 10:30 am. Did not mention to staff who looked pretty busy.

Why so many high ratings? Maybe because there is a cool video game and toy crane area, or good concessions with lots of choices. Maybe its the ample parking or huge theaters with hundreds and hundreds of seats. This is all true. BUT THE AIR CONDITIONING IN THE THEATERS DOESNT WORK. Literally there was no air conditioning for the 2 hour showing. It was over 80 degrees in there for sure. After the show they admitted the air in the theaters is hit and miss and thay it never works in theater #2. This makes it one star in my book. Came out sweating. EDITS. Tried it again. Air was on in the smaller theater #6. Only gave it one extra star. Movie was scheduled to start at 7:30. Started 7:55. I went to ask about it at 7:50. They said they were working on a fix. Place seems plagued with issues. Cheap owner or bad management or both. Expect issues if you go here.

Went to the movies enjoyed it had a good time

If I could I will leave them a zero star if you want popcorn bring your own because they never have popcorn building old dirty smell like milddew bring some housespray seats torn and old.will not be going back. And no air conditioner.

I went to a matinee a few weeks ago at the very last screen at the end of the hall. The top 1/4 of the screen was dark throughout the previews. I got up, walked all the way back and told the guy who had taken my ticket. He said he would tell the technician. I walked all the way back down the hall. The top 1/4 of the screen continued to be dark. I walked back down the hall and told the same guy. He told me it would go away once the movie started so I walked all the way back to the theater and sat down. The movie started and I tried for about 10 minutes to ignore that the top 1/4 of the screen was still dark. Couldnt do it. So I walked all the way back to the guy and told him I wanted a refund so I could come back another time. He walked me to the end of the concession stand and told me to wait outside the office door while he went in to tell the manager. Then he came back out and walked away. I stood there for a few minutes and finally knocked on the door. The manager was sitting at a computer and said he didnt know I was there, that the guy said he was going to go check on the movie. I told him my story and he asked if Id be okay with getting a credit instead of a refund. I agreed so he gave me a little slip of paper.Now I have lost the little slip of paper so thats a bit annoying. But the most annoying part was being left to stand outside the office. I dont know why he would do that but I do know Im old enough to be his grandmother.At least I got my exercise for the day.....Walking is supposed to be good for us old people.

Great experience, no large crowds. The seats are showing heavy wear and tear.All and all a nice place to relax and catch a right in the neighborhood.

MovieOvercomer was absolutely great!

The staff is always friendly and quick, the theater seats are the best around, the screens are awesome, and the place is generally clean. They have early shows just for kids in the summer and Fri/Sat/Sun they have early movies for those of us who want to skip the crowds. Generally Ill go see a movie here before anywhere else.As they lack an IMAX I have to journey out to South Point or wherever if I wanna see a flick that way. This place would be busy all the time if Northgate Mall itself was a little more updated and glitzy, as this place is like a shiny gem compared to what surrounds it. I think its important to point out though that Northgate gets a bad rap because its near downtown Durham and we used to have a...er...reputation. That was almost two decades ago, get with the times! Durham is awesome.I want to address Brandons (a previous posters) technical complaint real quick even though Im giving the place an amazing rating. No, they dont seem to know how their equipment works all the time. I find that the sound is often too low and asking them to bump it just goes nowhere. They do start movies right on time, but its up to you whether thats a good or bad thing. It says something about the place that Ill still give it five stars despite all that.

Ankle deep in popcorn and trash! Hot as Heck and sticky seats. In the Incredibles 2 had grown women cursing at a 2 year old child the whole time. It was the 10 pm movie the kid should have been in bed. Staff almost a sleep and no help at all. We won’t be back!

No one is ever here! I LOVE it.

While the movie screening was good,the sound systems need to be replaced and the seats are raggy, torn up and uncomfortable to sit on.

Movie prices are generally pretty good. The seats, however, are tore up terribly and arent that comfortable compared to other theaters in the area. There are a lot of really small theaters in there and sometimes you can hear the movie playing in the next theater better than you hear the movie youre watching. Food prices are decent and the staff is mostly friendly. Overall, if you cant afford to go somewhere else, this will be just fine.

Great seats great environment!

I have always enjoyed my experience at this place very comfortable seating

The theater is clean. Sound is good. If youre there in Sundays, you can attend church service.

Clean and good price for mid day movies.... Snack bar is ridiculously high though. 8$ for a drink?!

Ive been going to this movie theater for quite some time. No it isnt fancy like those that are owned by AMC, but it doesnt need to be. The movies are usually pretty good quality, Ive maybe had one bad experience, and Ive been going since around mid to late 2000s. I wish they could do something with that top floor, and all those movie posters dating back to the first Avengers movie, but I dont mind since I get a small sense of nostalgia. Sometimes the movie theater is a little chilly, but Im not the type to freeze easily. Its just the place for a small budget to watch a movie with friends or family.

Very clean, Theater was comfortable and service was great.

Went to see the new Star Wars movie the day after Christmas. We were in theater 9. The screen went black THREE TIMES so we missed the visuals for a few minutes total. My husband had to get out of his seat, walk to the lobby, and tell them to fix it each time. When we first got there, there was no one at the ticket counter and no sign telling you where to go instead. We stood around for a while with some other folks and eventually figured out to go to the concessions counter to get the tickets. There was a long line at 10:30am because we had to wait behind everyone choosing their snack options. The bathrooms looked like a war zone. Three out of five toilets in the ladies room were unusable because they were clogged. I understand they just had a holiday weekend, but was there not a manager on duty to look things over at closing/opening? The employees were professional and friendly.

Not to bad. The chairs in the theater are comfortable.

This theater is convenient but hasnt been kept up well. The seats are cracked and old for the age of the theater. Customer service is pretty good and it has all the new movies.

Nice, clean, quiet, and the movie was good.

Great neighborhood theater...could use a bit of renovation though.

Its great having a movie theater in the area. Staff efficiency needs improvement: the simplest jobs seem to take a while. Lobby is always clean. Seats need improvement: some are very roughed up. My biggest problem is the temperature. The theaters are absolutely FREEZING. I didnt realize it so much until I went to two other theaters in the area and it was comfortable.
