An update is necessary due to the age of most of the reviews here.
Naturally, this theater, as with every other in the country, has updated to all digital, thus there is 3-D and various types of sound available. I like how management took the old film platters from their 35mm days and turned them into café tables in the large lobby. Candy stand has a lot of good options.
I guess price is relative. If you have come from a larger city, the ticket prices, especially for matinees and seniors, is surprisingly low. Prices may vary based on the film, not something under control of the theater. You can also buy ticket books for a further discount.
Seats are comfortable, high backed and slightly reclining. There is good legroom. If you want a lot of space, sit in the very top row where there appears to be double the amount of space between rows.
When we first visited Crossville before moving here, the layout of the roads was confusing and we never quite knew where we were so I can forgive someone saying this is a lousy location. Actually, this is one of the best locations a theater can have. It is a block off RT127 (North Main Street) which is the main shopping road in town and right behind the Super Walmart. It is also a five minute drive from I-40 which is important as that is the road many county residents, especially those thousands at Fairfield Glade, use to get into town. Being able to access the theater on the lightly developed Interstate Drive beats having to drive into town to access the location of the previous movie house (currently a church).
The staff, as with any movie house, is mostly high school kids. I have sometimes found them to be a bit clueless (as can be expected) but never had an experience with rudeness. Management is always friendly.
My one quibble with Rocky Top 10 is the selection of films, naturally favoring those that will bring in the young audience. Due to having to show both 2-D and 3-D versions of some, there are not always the number of titles you might expect at an tenplex. However, the lack of smaller, high quality films is somewhat made up for by the theater's cooperation with the local film society who sponsor members-only or free public showings of films that don't make it on to the regular schedule. The society has become so popular that their showings fill two auditoriums. Not every multiplex would have the community involvement to make room on their schedule for these types of private or free public showings. read more
