They have a nice facility and reasonable prices as well as nice staff most of the time. However, I took my seven-year-old to a movie he was so excited to see, but the theatre was packed and there were single seats but nothing together. I asked the staff if they would have people move inward on the rows as I have seen done many times in other theaters so we could sit together since my son was only seven, and they refused. They would not budge. The manager at the time had no empathy at all and told me we should have come earlier. I explained my seven-year-old had been looking forward to seeing the movie for so long and would be crushed if we had to leave and that I simply couldn't separate us for safety. Didn't care. Didn't budge. I had to get a refund, and my little boy was very sad, like you'd expect from a little boy. He couldn't understand why they did that, and frankly, I couldn't understand it either. From then on we started actually driving down to Warren theatre. I actually don't prefer to do that, but we were treated so badly so unnecessarily on that occasion that I believe...

Good value. Compared to the Warren Theaters in Wichita: Seats as comfortable (actually more comfortable than a lot of Warren's seats), sound and picture quality similar, although some of Warren's screens are bigger and edge out on quality, they are very close. Prices better than all the first run Warren Theaters.

We saw Star Wars 3D at both Chisholm Trail 8 and the Warren's IMAX. Warren almost double the price and I got a headache because the glasses to screen weren't matched as well as the CT8 glasses were. (they were different glasses, and the IMAX felt more substantial, but didn't function as well).

Certainly not worth the drive to Wichita if you are a Newton local and the show you want to see is in town. Might even be worth a drive from Wichita for larger families...
