One downfall I observed and also was a little disappointed with is the surround sound "ALL MAX" seem like most of the sound came from front instead of surround front the sides and back; at least in Cinema 6, not sure about the other cinemas sound quality. Each time I come here, I enjoy the experience overall! 2 thumbs up!!

For a life-long patron of big city theaters and having to always pay $9.50+ for each person, this…read moretheater was a breath of fresh air! Granted there is only one screen, so only one movie can be played at a time, but for the price and the grandness of the theater, I can't say I care. The candy is a little high for the size, but in relation to a big city theater, still cheap. The soft drinks were plentiful and cold and there were many other drink options as well. The only negative of the evening, was that the popcorn was stale. It was warm and buttery, just tasted like it had been reheated from a previous showing. And last, the seating, it's nothing to write home about, but still adds to the character and small town charm of the Forrest Theater. Some had scuffed backs from people putting their feet up, while others had tape holding the vinyl together, but all in all, I enjoyed seeing a film in this old-style theater.

We experienced an unexpected medical emergency that required us to leave immediately. My mother, who is an emergency room physician, was called to the hospital and we were unable to stay for our movie. During a moment when we had a lot on our minds, Gavin handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and understanding. He promptly assisted us with refunding both our movie tickets and food purchases without any issues or complications. His calm and respectful approach made a difficult situation much easier to manage, and we greatly appreciated the compassion he showed. Excellent customer service is often measured by how people respond when things don't go according to plan, and Gavin represented your theater exceptionally well. Please extend our sincere thanks and recognition for his professionalism and outstanding customer care. :::

He yelled at me about what pop I wanted. He said "maybe it's an upcharge" and wouldn't look it up. He told us that it didn't even matter because the prices were the same. He wouldn't tell us prices when we asked. The entire time he acted as though I was annoying him and not worth his time. I understand that everyone has rough days, so I will not hold it against him, but it was such a horrible experience I'm leaving this review. Also, the movie theatre is very cold.

The theater itself is clean enough. We are thankful for the nearby location. My complaint is with…read morethem closing the concessions not even an hour into your movie. Why buy the refillable popcorn when you can't get it refilled? It was 8 o' clock and we had three hour movie, went out to get a refill and the concession was dark, all cleaned up and had been closed for some time. What the heck? This was not the first time it had happened to us. Shame on us for not learning. We will not be buying the popcorn ever again. It's no wonder they have problems with people bringing in their own snack. Keep your concessions open and maybe that will stop.

(hello COVID RUINED THIS) However, it was impossible to add and enjoy concessions, at the price they were being offered. Shame on you GL7. 2 Pops and a large popcorn for $25.00 ??? Absolutely ridiculous. Why not be the exeption and charge less and be the theater that people talk about for that reason. I just think that it costs more to snack than it does to attend the show is horrid. For the record, there is a little theater in Jackson, MN which runs new movies and it is cheap to attend and the concession prices are old school.

I think most of the town was there to see it. It's a small town ..so go figure. With prices like $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for kids...who wouldn't want to go to a movie. I felt like I went back in time....like 70 years. The theatre was a bit dated and old, but it's still pretty clean and neat...minus the smells of cow manure from some old farmers boots. Old wood floors and unique theatre decore. The seats are not the most comfortable. Popcorn is pretty cheap compared to the other Big time movie theatres...and..it tasted pretty good too. So of your ever in the area...go and support this little local movie theatre.

From their website:…read more Showtimes every night 7:00 PM Adults $2 - Children and Seniors $1 Yes, you read that right. And I saw "The Dark Knight" here last week - and it's still in first run! Okay, price point out of the way, now on to the rave. First - this is a real, old, big, one-screen movie theatre from the days when the movies were something special. The facade is a gorgeous example those days, its geometric, restrained 1930s style a joy to behold. Inside, the original light fixtures and fittings remain. The floor is HARDWOOD PLANKS. Modern, comfy seats fit perfectly with the style and ambiance, having been chosen with care. An original dairy wall clock hangs in one of the back exit hallway doors. Popcorn is on offer in front at the snackbar. The place is filled with kids and families. There's even a (very) stern usher, who polices the place for cell phones and contraband! The show starts every night at 7:00pm (a sign hanging by the box office window tells you when the show will let out) and my family confirms it is always packed. Gotta confess I got a bit of a lump in my throat, seeing all those people gathered downtown, hanging out and seeing the show together, having a bit of a real, old-time American home town experience. This is someplace to go out of your way to experience. Check out their website. Check them out on a map. Is Charles City a road trip destination? It ought to be.
