Reviews Ottumwa 8 Theatre (Movie Theater) in Iowa | TrustReviewers.com (2024)

Average Rating:

Nice and clean. Courteous staff. Popcorn was fresh and tasty! The only thing that would be better is better seating that reclined like a La-Z-Boy, and they served beer and pizza.

the movie only projected to one side of the screen and the volume was low im very upset and want my money back

Great seats great movie selection good food in the sound is amazing machines out front and little kids will want to play them like claw machines and other games

Nice

I think it's a good place and has great costermer serves

Nice atmosphere. Good ticket prices. 5$ on Tuesdays. Unlimited refills on Large pop and popcorn. Seat are normal for a theater they do recline a little.

Good movie section. $5 Tuesdays. Food is overpriced though and woman who sells tickets and answers the phone is rude.

Had an other great experience!!

Great place 5$ on Tuesday

Nice theater a little on the high side for price.

Comfortable seats :)

Good clean theater

Nice matinee Tuesday with the grandkids. Pleasant..well maintained and friendly.

Great theater!

Food is a little over priced but most theatre are. Staff is great and friendly. Place is always clean i really enjoy coming and seeing movies there

Love it

It's a movie theater, sometimes it's cleaner than othertimes.

They have movies

Love the food and movies! 10/10 Amazing!

Great shows

A+

16 bucks to get in and then about 12 bucks for 2 sodas and a large popcorn but it was worth it for the time with my boy

The cinema experience is good, but building inside and out could use some maintenance . Place lacks customer service with a smile.

I love going to this theater. It is just expensive but its worth it if you really want to see a movie. :) Doesn't smell, hasnt had bed bugs, you get scabbies from skin to skin contact soo they didnt have that, and it never smells besides the smell of popcorn, its a good place.

Average place to watch movies.

Great place for a movie!

It has very good service, but the theaters are only cleaned after hours, during hours smaller things just get swept under the seat

Really COLD theater, but all in all a decent place to go, kinda over priced, but when it's all you got for an option, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Loved this place. Cool memory with my grandbaby.

Tuedays $5

Taking cash only today so I couldn't get any refreshments. It might not have been so bad if thier customer service was better, but kinda crabby about it.

A very nice place for a family movie night! The food is a bit expensive but the $5 tickets on Tuesdays is a great offer. The popcorn and drinks are so good! And most of the time the seats are clean and area for the next movie! Let's go CEC - Ottumwa 8!

Seats are comfortable. Annoying guy behind us would not be quiet...

I really like it it's big and the snack prices r a bit high but it's worth it.dont go to the 3D if u wanna headache

One of the best and comfiest theaters i've been to.

Always a good place to watch a movie

Best day to go is on Tuesday tickets are 5 dollars. Its near several restaurants close to couple hotels for the out of towners. I do recommend to eat before since the snack bar is quite pricey. Theaters are decent size always clean when I go. Bathrooms are kept cleaned. Does have seating and extra room usually the first row thats handicap accessible. Overall its a decent one but try your best to go on Tuesdays. Otherwise pay full price for tickets.

I love it everytime I go there the theaters are clean and the movies are clear and sound amazing

Very nice lots of showing rooms

Sears are comfy, 8 theaters, matinee is cheaper then regular show times..price isn't bad...

Clean an inexpensive entertainment

Great deals bro clean

Usually very nice and Clean,One Experience was not the best,I went to go see IT Chapter 2,didn’t let me in but a week before I went to go see good boys and they let me in,and it was the same lady

Movies are only 5 dollars a person every Tuesday

Great movie's

Decent place

Great service at the movie theater they get you through the line quickly and you enjoy your movie with a good bucket of popcorn and a nice drink

Great place to go watch a movie with the family.

Awesome movie jurrasic world 2

Great selection of movies, however it is WAY too pricy. Guess I gotta go on Tuesdays!

Comfortable, good acoustics, reasonable prices

Good variety of movies, but the prices are high, Tuesday's $5 a movie deal is nice but adding a medium drink for four dollars is crazy. Wish they would clean the theatre before the next one starts. Overall only one around the area that plays multiply movies.

I like the upgrades.

Very nice theater.

Very helpful staff

Very nice people.

Nice place good movie selections popcorn bundles are a little pricey but good and fresh.

Nice theatre! $5 Tuesday is great!

Just about everything, people are nice and the manager is always on the look out to help anybody that need help.. the only thing is; the prices on stuff, I always take my three kids and can't really buy what they want because is too expensive.

Spiderman far from home has AWESOME

Way over priced. $42 for 1 adult 2 children at matinee. Cost to get in and large drink and popcorn.

I only give it 4 because when I went yesterday we couldn't get popcorn the number one thing and we couldn't have it

Was a little pricey, but other than that amazing!

Love their Tuesday discount price of a $5 movie, and free popcorn with pop purchase!

It's ok expensive on food tho

Nice theater and polite staff

Very nice theater. Tuesdays you get in for $5.00 and if you buy a drink you get a free small popcorn.

I've been here a day before movies are suppose to drop. I be feeling exclusive. Family environment, staff is always chill, the popcorn and slushes are classic. I enjoy my experience every time. They also have flavors for the popcorn that smack. Handicap accessible. There is also a $5 movie Tuesday every week.

Personal service with a smile

$5 Tuesdays are the best! Love this theater, it has the most comfortable seats and the best quality picture and sound.

Its awesome thats all i have to say.

Nice clean place to enjoy a movie

Always great service...from tickets..concessions to ticket trackers... theater always clean.. my client gets popcorn and drink always... loves our choice in movies..m

Need to clean the railings in theater 1 they are very sticky. But movie selection is great

Super clean! Super friendly!

Lots of movie choices! Love the 5.00 Tuesday movie nights!

Like to watch movies but it so cold inside....:-)...

A great time had by all at the movies!

The last two times we have went there we can't really watch the movie. Talk about disrespectful people. I'm not talking about just kids even the adults. There is a room full of people trying to watch a movie and you have those who are either one their phones nonstop or talking through the whole thing. If you don't want to watch the movie then stay home. I didn't pay to listen to you guys talk

Great movie quality and nice staff also popcorn is the best.

Great place

nice 8 plex theater set up. reasonable ticket prices.

It's a typical theater. It shows movies and smells kinda funny.

You have a good variety movies there on on Tuesdays you can go for $5 + movie + if you order a large drink you get a free popcorn great place to watch movies

Seats are a little small. They could care less if someone is on there phone the whole movie and its very distracting.

Smells, needs a better selection of food options, and needs a deep cleaning!!

A little expensive, but they do have $5 Tuesdays, so that makes it all right. Popcorn is a little greasy

Really good!

Great seating great prices great customer service.

Decent theater always has a selection of movies showing. Prices have risen a lot in the past years. Small drink and small popcorn is $10 and about $10 per person for a movie so its hard to get out of there under $20. I recommend going on Tuesday when its $5 and you get a free popcorn with drink purchase! Def could use better cleaning, the floor is always sticky and littered.

Theatre is clean, with plenty of parking, and reasonable prices. Movie selection is fair, catching all major releases (though missing a smattering of smaller films here and there, and occasionally not getting 3D pictures in their 3D form).Viewing rooms have good acoustics, and unlike Ottumwa's previous theatre (Capri V) where many people had to view the screen at an awkward angle, the Ottumwa 8 uses a straight forward layout with no balconies, so you can see well from basically any seat.If I had one complaint, it would be that about 1 in 50 of the armrests appears to have come detached from the seats, so I've had multiple experiences of coming into a near-capacity room and taking a seat, only to discover that putting my cup in the cup holder would cause it to fall off the chair or tilt forward and dump. It was slightly less enjoyable sitting through 150 minutes of Star Wars with a cup of cold ice precariously hugged between my legs in my crotchal region.

It was about 80 degrees in the theater. No air. No fans. No apologies. We'll never go here again.

Good ckean seating, but no online purchases of tickets

Great staff and very nice clean building. Highly recommend.

Nice theatre and clean!

previews are out of date and lacking longevity

Clean and friendly environment

Clean and tidy with great seats and slightly more expensive food and drink.

Awesome theater!!

Nice theater, prices aren't too bad. Wish we could get a few of the edgier films but overall, a good selection.

Nice, not crowde, open on public holidays too!

Great place for a family movie night

Cheap price

5 dollar tickets on Tuesday. Free popcorn with the purchase of a drink. The staff is always very friendly and the restrooms are clean.

I would always go back to this place it's nice and pretty good people there too

Nice theater friendly staff good concessions had a great night at the movies just they need to do better with the Hearing felt like it was in the 90 degree range

There's a good variety of movie choices and the popcorn is delicious. Love the size of the theatre too.

Tuesdays are great for deals

Almost $30 for 3 people to watch a movie... Way to Damn expensive, for a normal night out.

Nice place to a date to

$5 movie Tuesdays and u get free popcorn

Love the management.

I work with two individuals who have disabilities and brought th hen to see a movie.. the staff were very nice and helped us get to th he right room and to our seats. Helped us carry our popcorn and drinks for us...

Nice, cozy, and affordable. Loved it!

Like every movies there

Nice theater

I've been going to this specific location for me than ten years now. The theatres are normally clean, the staff are friendly and the is process simple. I do miss the free popcorn seasoning, but I've honestly never had a bad experience here! Kudos to the management!

Only theatre I usually go to with friends and family..travel an hour jus to go! Very nice theatre and $5 Tuesdays are an awesome deal.

Nice place to watch movies

Visited with the manager and she is awesome

We are happy to have Ottumwa 8 Theatre in our area. They always have a great selection of the newest movies. The facility is clean/ comfortable and prices are very reasonable. There is ample parking and plenty of dinner and shopping options nearby. Nice place to spend an evening out!

Nice environment nice staff

Saw Star Was: The Last Jedi in 3D. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME. The theatre is comfortable and clean. The employees are helpful.

the place is fine, whoever is bitching about the price hasn't been out of iowa for a while, it's cheaper than most places, unless you are talking about bloomfield lmao. it's a new facility

Drove an hour to see a movie because on their website it showed a showtime at 7:15. My friend and I walk in to the theater, very hyped about seeing the movie, just to be turned away. Apparently, 5 o’clock was the last time for our movie, but the website said otherwise. We were utterly disappointed.

Great place to catch a movie. Clean and we'll kept. Never had a bad experience here!

Great theater, comfortable seats. Be sure to check out the special admission and concession prices for Tuesday's!

Good food, clean

Always clean and comfortable with a good variety of new movies. Have went to several midnight, and 7 pm early releases. Appreciated it when they let us go inside 3 hours early for the last 2 Star Wars openings also!

The theater was clean and the seats are comfortable.

Have enjoyed the 2 movies I've seen there so far!! Clean, Comfortable and Spacious, what more could Anyone ask??!!!

I love going to matinees here, good value, Senior/matinee prices

The movie was good

Always cleab

A little pricey to watch a movie and grab some popcorn/drink. Everyone there seemed nice and had a enjoyable time there.

Always a good experience here.

We had excellent service tonight, very polite people and fast at getting our popcorn and drinks to us !

Always a great place to see a GOOD movie

It was amazing time to spend with my family.

Amazing people!!

Great movies and snacks there.

Great place

Cozy place great movies.

Worth checking out not busy at all

Good selection.

Very clean except right after a kids movie, prices reasonable, and good assortment of movies.

The theater is clean, but the seats are pretty uncomfortable. They get the good movies before a lot of other theatres though. Concessions are overpriced.

Smelled stinky, hot, no fresh air. But otherwise ok.

For one of the only movie theatres in this area, it fits above all expectations. It is clean, easy to access, plenty of parking, and shows the newest releases. Good for the kids, date night, or hanging with pals. You can even eat at Pizza Ranch and just stroll over to the movies next door without much effort. Good location!

Don't miss dead pool 2! Freaking awesome!

great seating good sound loved the movie!

Friendly staff. Good equipment and a fair price.

This is the second time the assistant manager has been rude while answering a question or explaining something. She doesn’t know how to talk to people without cutting them off or talking over them. Honestly, she ruined my movie viewing experience.

Just loved seeing The Greatest Showman on the Big Screen.

Hardly ever busy except for Tuesday's

Great little theatre. Prices are a bit high and the floors may be sticky but overall a nice theatre. Be weary of broken seats with no arm rests tho!!

It was awful took my mom to watch a movie on her birthday and couldn't watch the movie she wanted because my niece was with us and they wouldn't let her 1 month old in a rated r movie.

Its kind of stinky everytime I go, and the floors are dirty and sticky, the air feel humid and not very fresh. It got so bad that the place got bed bugs or scabies, in my opinion a professionally ran theater should not get to that point where people don't feel comfortable in a public business place that's meant for good moment of relaxation and movie entertainment especially not at the prices they have. Sure they do what a theater itself is supposed to do (play the movie on a theater size screen, with cool effects like 3D, and loud sound) but the over all maintenance of that building is a mess. Prices are high, stuffs old, place is dirty. Enjoy!. but more people need to start speaking up on the obvious.
