One downfall I observed and also was a little disappointed with is the surround sound "ALL MAX" seem like most of the sound came from front instead of surround front the sides and back; at least in Cinema 6, not sure about the other cinemas sound quality. Each time I come here, I enjoy the experience overall! 2 thumbs up!!

Great deals (discounts for employers, $5 days, discounts for students) and rewards for purchasing tickets and concessions.

Inside the actual theatre it's not so bad, cleaner, seats recline, sound and screen is good, a standard theatre. Parking lot is like the Baja 500 so mind your speed in there.

The theater itself is clean enough. We are thankful for the nearby location. My complaint is with…read morethem closing the concessions not even an hour into your movie. Why buy the refillable popcorn when you can't get it refilled? It was 8 o' clock and we had three hour movie, went out to get a refill and the concession was dark, all cleaned up and had been closed for some time. What the heck? This was not the first time it had happened to us. Shame on us for not learning. We will not be buying the popcorn ever again. It's no wonder they have problems with people bringing in their own snack. Keep your concessions open and maybe that will stop.

They do not have 3D movies, however I don't see that as a big deal. Admission for any movie is $3 for new releases. They also have several free matinees, usually movies that are on DVD already that they show for kids. Make sure you bring cash, they don't take credit cards. They have candy and popcorn in the concession stand, but bottled pop comes out of the vending machines.

The seats are in decent condition, the parking was easy, and the people were friendly. What else can you ask for? It's not perfect. The squeaky seat hinges could be silenced with a $5 can of WD-40.

For a life-long patron of big city theaters and having to always pay $9.50+ for each person, this…read moretheater was a breath of fresh air! Granted there is only one screen, so only one movie can be played at a time, but for the price and the grandness of the theater, I can't say I care. The candy is a little high for the size, but in relation to a big city theater, still cheap. The soft drinks were plentiful and cold and there were many other drink options as well. The only negative of the evening, was that the popcorn was stale. It was warm and buttery, just tasted like it had been reheated from a previous showing. And last, the seating, it's nothing to write home about, but still adds to the character and small town charm of the Forrest Theater. Some had scuffed backs from people putting their feet up, while others had tape holding the vinyl together, but all in all, I enjoyed seeing a film in this old-style theater.

What else to do on a hot day in Iowa? Go to the Cinema!…read more Went to see the movie "Old." Tuesday special is only $5.00 a ticket, unless you pick a LDX screen which is only $1.00 more. I chose the LDX. What is LDX? Luxury power reclining loungers throughout the auditorium Reserved seating throughout the auditorium Dolby Digital 7.1 sound with over 30,000 watts of heart pounding sound with expanded surround coverage to deliver the most realistic experience New screens with state-of-the-art reflective technology to provide the brightest picture Digital projection that produces the clearest picture So yeah, definitely worth a $1.00 more. Staff was friendly but looked bored. Cinema was clean and cool. We entered our LDX screening room and it was huge. Very clean and neat. Recliners were awesome! The movie was ok. I guess I was expecting something better. We still enjoyed our time and we'll be back when the heat index is over 90 degrees. Thanks for the cool time.
