A small (but mighty!) art/independent cinema in Dayton. Despite being in the downtown area, it has…read morea reserved parking lot right across the street making for easy (and safe) getting back to your car even at night after a movie lets out. You only have to cross a single crosswalk, and then you'll be back in your car next to a pretty busy street. The Neon only has two movie theaters inside. You buy tickets from the same spot where you buy concessions. Concessions are surprisingly cheaper than your big box theaters, but they're still "movie theater prices". I felt better purchasing them here to support a small business, though. They have your usual snacks, boxed candies, fountain sodas, and some simple mixed drinks/beers/seltzers as well. Nice part of a small cinema: If you need to pee or fill up a drink or snack half way through a movie, it's (literally) steps outside of your movie's theater to do either. It gets you quickly back into the movie. During particularly quiet parts of my movie, I could hear some of the large, explosive parts of the other theater's movie. The other theater's movie was never loud enough or too disturbing to the movie I was watching, and I could never hear the other theater's dialogue. Some things look older, but everything was clean. No sticky floors. Tables were cleaned off, no garbage everywhere. Seats were comfy for me. They have a light recline, but they don't hold it there. It didn't seem like arm rests went up, but I didn't try very hard. Particularly wide-hipped individuals may find the standard seats to be too tight, but I didn't look for any wide seating or ADA seating options. I did see there were a few rows with extra-long leg room. Had a great experience, and I'm going to put the Neon on my radar for future movie watching now too.

Loved the experience! Easy to get to. Parking lot across the street and free. Helpful staff…read more Reasonably priced wide variety of drinks and snacks. Quaint theatre with interesting shows.

Sad. This used to be the premier theater in town, now Cinemark is eating Regal's lunch big time…read more The popcorn is stale and full of kernels, the prices are OUTRAGEOUS, easily double Cinemark's prices, and the sodas are not mixed well. The seats are old school, and not horribly uncomfortable but also not amazing leather recliners and loveseats like so many theaters have these days. Walking into this theater and sitting down is like being transported to 2003, which can be fun in its own right. The colors are vibrant, the theater design is liminal and old-school. I actually really like the vibes here. I just wonder why Regal doesn't seem interested in upgrading this theater. It has PRIME real estate, in a rich population high-traffic area. It would make a splash if Regal bought some new reclining chairs and gave the place a good cleaning and makeover, and lowered their concession prices by 25%-30%. Look, I get why attractions in general charge more for concessions, but these prices are hilariously bad. Lowering the prices would result in higher profits because more people would buy more items. It's a no-brainer. The video and audio quality is superb, which is ironic considering the state of the rest of the theater. Probably the best part of the experience is if you see an older or less popular movie, you are likely to have the whole theater to yourself! It's a very fun experience to see a movie on a huge screen with no one else around. Good for the customer, very, very bad for Regal. They need to upgrade the theater or sell to Cinemark or AMC at this point.

Have been coming here since I was a little kid. Great, nostalgic theater. $10 for a medium drink is…read morekind of insane though. Luckily I had a free popcorn coupon other wise it would have been like $12! However, they do have deals during the week that help with prices. If you have the rewards the deals aren't too bad. We went for half price movies so that was a good deal. We saw Leviticus and the movie was great. However it was kind of ridiculous that the previews didn't even come on until the time the movie was supposed to start and lasted almost 30 full minutes! Insanity.

I only have two concerns, and arguably neither one is their fault. One, during one visit, my recliner chair started moving up and I couldn't get it to stop, but who knows if that were an issue with the chair or an issue with me. Two, concession prices are high, but I think that's the case just about everywhere, and what I got was good, so it's not like they're charging high prices for slop. I've had good experiences; I just recommend you have plenty of money handy if you want to buy snacks, and be careful of the recliner seats.

So 20 bucks for a large popcorn and two drinks with no refills in sticker shock. The soda costs…read moreabout $.25 a gallon to make. Popcorn's about the same. So sticker shock there. That doesn't count the $23 at the door. A movie with concessions used to be 20 bucks for a decent date. Now it seems that it's working its way to $45. In two years they've cut the total value per dollar paid in half. It would be nice if over the last two years I was able to get a doubling of the money I get paid for each unit of value I deliver. Several workers, one of them that I was very impressed with head pretty good hustle. He had his head in the game, and was moving to make his stuff and everybody else's stuff work. Antonio.

Our seats in the back row had a missing middle arm rest; it was just gone. Perhaps someone stole it. We moved to the next seat over, and the recliners didn't work! Luckily the back row was empty, and our third seat move was acceptable, until I realized just how small the screen was and how far away we were. The theater we were in was super narrow and long. Your phone's screen would be bigger if you held it two feet in front of your face! Dirty floors. No cell phone policy, so grown adults can browse Instagram at full brightness the entire movie, and no staff gives a hoot! You can see the rows in front of you, unlike Dayton South, because Huber doesn't have walls in between the rows, just thin bars. The concession lines were absurdly long and they were severely understaffed by lazy people. They only had two registers open, but 8 people behind the counters, 6 of which were doing nothing. We will not be going back to this theater. It's not worth it. Crazy that the same Cinemark owns the Greene and Dayton South, they are LEAGUES nicer.

I haven't lived in Ohio for nearly 20 years, and was happily surprised to see this cinema still standing and playing movies. The lobby has been cared for and maintained. The actual theater, however, is lacking in a couple of areas. I'm willing to look past the rickety seats and the mess of boxes stacked on the floor near the screen. I'm even willing to forgive the lack of bass a decent subwoofer would provide in this space. But what I will not forgive in a theater experience is a dim screen. I'm aware enough to know bulbs for theater projectors are extremely expensive, and many small theaters will avoid updating their bulbs for as long as possible, but it's time, friends. It's time. The images on screen looked like the brightness was turned down 50%, and that's not an exaggeration. Went to see Fantastic Four and I was having a real hard time seeing anything in darker moments. The Avatar: Fire and Ash trailer played in the beginning and it looked so dull and colorless. The tickets and snacks are affordably priced, and I'd love to continue supporting this place that has such a nostalgic hold on my heart, but I refuse to have a subpar experience with something as fundamental as the image on screen at a movie theater. Hopefully y'all get that fixed soon. I'll be a regular if you do. But make sure you announce it to the world or I'll never know.

A few reviewers are clearly NOT familiar with IMAX, and offer rookie complaints. We like and recommend this IMAX. Homer may or may not recognize this version of the Odyssey.... Recommended that one read a summary of Homer prior to viewing. Homer's ancient epic poem is so full of figures and stories from ancient Greek mythology--all orbiting its hero, Odysseus, as he tries to return home to his wife, Penelope, after the Trojan War-- Agamemnon and Menelaus are brothers who are both kings. Agamemnon is the king of Mycenae and is married to Clytemnestra, while Menelaus is the king of Sparta and married to Helen, who is Clytemnestra's half sister. (In the film, both are played by Lupita Nyong'o.) Agamemnon is understood to be a power-hungry and brutal commander, even sacrificing his daughter, Iphigenia, to help win the Trojan War Christopher Nolan has endeavored to translate this colossal story into a three-hour cinematic epic with Matt Damon playing Odysseus as he journeys to rejoin his son, Telemachus (Tom Holland), and Penelope (Anne Hathaway). I recall that in grammar school, our fifth grade teacher read and explained the Odyssey to the class.
