Regal Fairfield Commons — Attraction in Beavercreek

Haven't been to the movie theater since around 2008. Not exactly like I remember. Slightly confusing. But the staff was very friendly and there was an employee specifically there to help answer my questions as to what to do. Purchased my tickets at the concession stand which was odd to me but was able to get the drinks and if I'd wanted to food at the same time with no hassle. Took maybe 4 to 5 minutes total ordering and getting checked in. Good considering we arrived 5 minutes before the scheduled showing time. Choosing specific seating in the theater was a new experience also. Not sure If that's just a Regal thing or if theater's do that in general now. But the experience was a good one especially since I hadn't stepped foot in a movie theater in 12 years. Odd and confusing with some of the new changes but simple and the staff was friendly and helpful. And the place was clean and looked good. Only thing I had an issue with was the quality of the movie screen. Which is why 4 stars and not 5. Not sure what's been going on with movie theater screens the past decade. But after spending ten years looking at a 1080p TV screen at home to watch any movie that's come out the last decade perhaps I'm spoiled. But the movie screen looked very grainy and had a dirty cash register touch screen quality to it. The quality got better after the previews. Which there were almost ten minutes worth, 5 minutes of which were actual commercials. But was still about half as grainy once the movie started. It didn't ruin the movie but it was very distracting. I remember movies at theater's being kind of like that before but you would think after 12 years the technology and the video quality would have had some advancements to be clearer and closer to the 1080p we're all used to. Or the even higher resolutions coming out recently. And would in fact be leading in the areas of resolution quality. To my eye it was the same or even slightly worse than I remember and that was over 10 years ago. The cost of an adult male and two children with 2 small drinks and a medium and entry to the movie was almost exactly $50.00 which is a lot but considering it's the year 2020 not unexpected with the way prices go up on everything, everywhere. All in all a good experience with the only exception being the quality of the...

Other the cost of going to see a movie in the theater, especially the luxury of getting a snack and soda, my only complaint was that the popcorn was pretty bad. They still had "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" showing, so I'm impressed that ANY major theater in the USA is still showing movies that have been out longer than a month or two. I don't get out to the theater as much as I'd like, and it always frustrates me when I don't get to see certain movies on the big screen because they don't stay in the theaters long. Everything is rushed to PPV and DVD/Bluray. In general, if there's a movie you want to see on iMax or 3D, you have to fight the crowds on opening weekend before the next new movie is released to take over the larger, better format screens. I guess I have another comment that's not favorable. I thought the seats were uncomfortable. I've been impressed for years at the improvements in theater seats, but these felt like a step backward in quality. Minimal legroom with a low seat height, as well as a rigid, upright seat back that doesn't move at all (let alone doesn't recline) made it a tough sit for me. I've had several spine and hip injuries and surgeries, so a good seat is a big deal to me. Today's movie was just over 2 hours, and I was able to stand up to stretch due to the theater only having 3 of us in there watching and no one behind me. I couldn't sit in one of those seats without a special seat cushion and lumbar support for an entire movie - especially the movies that are 3 hours or more. Otherwise, as I always suggest, going to a matinee showing several weeks after a movie hits the theaters is the best time to go - and the...

This was probably my worst movie experience ever. The seats are old and cloth not comfortable not reclining. I felt like I was at the Danbury bargain theatre. The prices were higher than the theatre with comfy leather seats. The menu prices were higher and the menu was basic no real food other than pizza and hot dogs. We went to see Moana and went to a later show in hope small kids wouldn’t be there. Nope babies were there crying and whining the whole movie definitely didn’t enjoy the film at all. What happened to employees checking in the theatre to make sure it was quiet and no phones were out???? They didn’t seem to care. The ticket check coming in was too congested with one person available to check tickets on a busy night. Parents stop bringing babies to the movies. As a parent you know very well if your child can sit through a film. Go to an early day show leave them home or keep them quiet and in their seats it’s inconsiderate to everyone else. Theatres need to either offer seperate viewing for children under a certain age or have a cut off time for small kids. Parents were letting their kids play on their phones and watch other things with the volume on while we were trying to enjoy a movie. I spent $70 and had a terrible time. The bathroom wasn’t at all attended to. It smelled and there wasn’t any toilet paper. The staff wasn’t very knowledgeable on the menu multiple items on the menu weren’t available and there is no way a theatre as out dated as this should charge what it does. The most offensive part of this is its in Beavercreek. My expectations were clearly too high. I want...
