Omni Cinemas 8 — Local services in Fayetteville

If you want to watch a movie and don’t want to pay AMC prices or 10k for popcorn, this is the place. The theater employs the younger crowd and they tend to be quite respectful. Nothing outstanding (but then again, for minimum wage I wouldn’t be either). Movies show here the day they’re released and there’s an arcade right beside it for fun before or after your movie.

The experience is unusual for most theaters. Unless you’re on a weekend night (or the first few days of a marvel movie) there won’t be the typical crowds you’d see at larger theaters. You won’t have all the bells and whistles but it’s a good experience. It’s clean, quieter, and a good place for families (or couples on a budget). For movie-heads like me, a quieter theater that won’t bankrupt me is a godsend.

Additionally, there’s plenty of bathrooms. For those with small children there is a baby changing station in the women’s bathroom (located in a family restroom stall for privacy). I can’t attest for the men’s bathroom and it’s baby changing capacity, but there is a unisex bathroom with a baby changing station available to those who prefer it. A pleasant surprise from a local theater like this.

Now this is a tangent: the hotdogs. One doesn’t go to movie theaters for hotdogs (or at least I don’t). Nonetheless, I was hungry. Common knowledge states that you only buy soda, popcorn, or prepackaged candy at theaters. Never actual food at the risk of food poisoning or paying $20 for a mediocre piece of food. While a single $4 hotdog is a bit expensive for my tastes—it redeemed itself when I saw it. A fresh bun (no mold) with chili (no flies) and a hevenly hotdog sheathed inside it. Underneath the toppings and nestled between the bread was a meal of your dreams. Of the Nathan variety, savory and salty, and much larger than you’d see at a super market. Truly a hotdog worth the price, and also the best I’ve had from any establishment.

Now, teens do infrequently congregate in the parking lot, but I’d prefer they do it here than some shady back alley or abandoned building. Teens will be teens. But, in my years of coming here, nothing has happened to me or my car. Lock your doors, throw some trash on the floor, or take all your valuable belongings inside with you.

For a final note, I have noticed disabled or older individuals coming here. I mention this because I can only assume it’s because the building is more accessible than it’s counterparts. I can’t attest to this personally, but I have noticed that all seats are available without having to climb stairs (as they’re accessed through a ramp). And once again, a less crowded theater may be better for those with sensory issues.

Overall, a wonderful theater that I hope stays in business for the foreseeable future. This is a respectable establishment with respectable people. I frequented it during my childhood due to its affordable prices, allowing me to watch movies I would have otherwise been unable to. In a way, in a city of AMC’s and Milestone’s, it stands alone as a special theater. I appreciate its place and the services...

I've been choosing this theatre over others in the area for over 5 years now. Its an amazing value, $8 for 6:30pm showing which came with an $8 arcade card for the arcade next door. If my memory serves me, around another $8 for medium sized popcorn and drink. That's outstanding compared to most others! And the facility has been renovated quite nicely, leather reclining and heated seats and such. When you purchase your ticket, you pick your seats out right then and there, which I like.

There's only three issues I have with this theatre. One, It needs a larger public restroom or more of them. Two, the rows and seat numbers are barely visible. This resulted in me having to move seats due to I was in someone else seat. I can imagine older folks having an extreme issue because its dark upon entering, and its only small lettering on the sides of the 1st seat for the row letter, and the front of the seat for the seat number. But my greatest issue with this theatre is the snack bar needs some major refinement to operations! I arrived 30 mins early, at this point there was one main line, and the next person would go to the next available counter. I stood in line with several others and waited around 20 minutes, and as more people showed up, they began making their own lines straight in front of each counter thus cutting everyone one. Before you know it, the original line was in was for a register that was closed, thus I asked a worker if I was standing in a closed line, to which she replied "its kind of complicated." I don't expect the young workers to "take charge" and "herd cattle," but measures could be made such as roping off the line that snakes around with a sign that says wait until your called to one of the counters. The chaos of the snack area alone took off one star for me, if the issue is resolved, its easily a 4 star rating.

But overall, this is the best value in the area and a pleasant movie theatre to go to, and will...

I have been here numerous times and had originally given this establishment 5 stars.

I am a single mom of 4 (ages 9, 7, 5, and 3). On Thursday (5/3/18) I decided to take my children to the movies, even though we don't have a vehicle to get there. We walked over 2mi in the sweltering heat, crossing highways to get there. We stopped at Toys R Us on the way to get my 3yr old a birthday gift.

We arrived to the theatre and we're told we couldn't come in with bags. I told them I didn't have a car in the parking lot where I could just put my stuff. And that we'd walked miles to get here. I asked if I could leave it with them at the counter - NO. What was I supposed to do? The woman at the cash register suggested I speak with the owner.

I told the owner the same story and asked if there was any way he could help. No, just come another day.

I went outside, took the gifts from Toys R Us out of the shopping bag and decided I'd just carry it. Went back in and bought the tickets. But then they said I still couldn't come in because my son was wearing a backpack. I left it by a trash can by the ticket counter.

We then proceeded to wait in the lobby for the movie to start. A couple minutes later a guy starts yelling across the lobby at me that I cannot leave the backpack there near the trash can, that it's not allowed on the theatre at all. I told my son to take his books out of the bag and leave the bag outside.

After waiting about 30min another movie let's out and I see two other children wearing back packs. I asked one woman if they gave her a hard time about her son's backpack,...
