Fort 8 Theatre — Attraction in Fort Dodge

The theater has remodeled from my last review. They have replaced the old theater seats for reclining seats. The seats are larger and more comforable than the chairs they use to have. Most of the chairs are in pairs which could make watching the movie solo uncomfortable for some if you aren't able to purchase a solo seat. This also makes it a but more difficult to view movies as a family of 3 because someone is sitting alone or with a stranger. Some of the new reclining chairs were placed too close to the screen which I thought made it difficult to enjoy the movie. When you purchase your tickets you pick which seats you are going to sit in so it may be better to purchase online to ensure the seats you want are available however buying online comes with a service fee of $1.00 per ticket. The only thing left to update and remodel are the bathrooms.

Review from before the remodel: Most theaters are expensive and Fort 8 Theatre is no different. While watching movies I've noticed a glare, or reflection, on the screen while the movie plays; I don't see this every time but I would say about 50% of the time. When entering the theater you might notice a smell (usually a musky smell). Fort 8 Theatre is a decent place to watch movies if you can't wait for them to come...

I don’t think I’ll ever want to come back here because of how poorly the MANAGER was to me and the people I was with. We had came in to obviously go see a movie, which we were very excited to see. We went up to the counter to purchase our tickets. One of the theaters was full, so we asked to see another theater for a different time. The seats we saw were all in different spots, and we of course wanted to sit together. One of the people I was with is handicapped and has a service dog. We asked if we could sit in the handicapped seats. He told us that those seats were for “actual handicapped people.” We told him that one of us was, where he then snapped at us to hurry up because there were people behind us. As someone who works with a lot of people, and have never rushed someone even if we were busy, I felt extremely angry to be treated this...

Would not recommend going to this theater if you are handicapped and don’t require a wheel chair! The manager is down right RUDE, not only once but several times I’ve been there! Today topped it when I went to purchase tickets and was told all the seats were sold out! I saw they had handicapped seating (I also have a service dog) when I inquired about them he said I couldn’t purchase them because “he’s saving them for someone that’s ACTUALLY handicapped”. When I told him I was handicapped he would only let me purchase ONE seat and that the people that drove me were out of luck! When trying to decide what to do, he snapped at us and told us we had to HURRY up because there were people behind us! Despicable! So much for being...
