Oakwood 8

This is the only theater in town. You’d think the owners would keep it somewhat nicer and cleaner. Not so much. It’s filthy and old. The employees seem hard working and a great bunch of kids. It’s purely the facility that’s crap. The seats are caked with filth and grime. They have rips in them and barely usable. The bathrooms are old and decrepit. Next time we will drive to okc of stillwater to watch a movie.

If you have no ability to drive out of Enid, OK to a better movie theater than this is hands down the place for you! It is the only theater in the «city» of Enid. The price is pretty fare for a theater I guess and they offer several discounts. It is owned by starplex and it seems like they might have forgotten they still own it. The employees are usually helpful and nice however.
The theater itself is rundown like the rest of the mall it occupies. Old dirty carpet and sticky floors are the theme of this place. The seats were designed to be ancient torture devises and after 5 minutes in them you’ll probably just elect to stand for the show. The screens are old and faded. The picture is often grainy and reminds me of old school room projectors. The sound usually isn’t to bad. The people around you are usually pretty rude around here which has nothing to do with the theater really just a comment.
I’d rather wait to see a movie on redbox or Netflix if I can’t go to another theater than visit this one. I would recommend you do the same.

I’d have to think on it, but this may be the worst movie theater I’ve ever been to. It’s certainly in the top (or bottom) 3. You walk in immediately to the «lobby.» The carpet is coming up in certain parts on the stairs. I was greeted semi-​immediately by a woman that was behind the snack counter when I walked up. The matinée price was only $ 5, so there’s that. But, in case that low price made you forget you’re in a movie theater, a 20 ounce bottle of water is $ 4. So, all is right with the world.
I watched my movie in theater 8, the closest to the entrance. The door doesn’t close all the way, letting in light the entire movie. Also, if the movie was at a more quiet part, you could literally hear what was going on outside the door. I have seen some movies in pretty old theaters, including several dollar theaters, in my day. I have never had the DOOR TO THE THEATER not completely close. Frankly, it’s a problem I never considered would be possible at a movie theater until I went to the Oakwood 8. Congrats Oakwood 8 for making the impossible possible!
The chairs lean back, but are very uncomfortable. They must be very worried about their patrons’ posture, because it is nearly impossible to get comfortable. The covering on the seats is also worn. This place is in need of some serious upgrading.
Basically, everything about this theater is a con. The only pro? It’s the only theater in Enid. If you don’t want to go here, you’ve got to drive to Oklahoma City. After my experience today, the drive is not looking too bad.

Not the worst i’ve been to. the seats were surprisingly comfortable, but the sound was horrible!

I may be ready to reconsider my ban on seeing movies at Oakwood Mall. The cinema still needs work like modern standard seating but it is not as bad as it was three years ago. Digital projection system, cleaner and a more professional staff are the positive changes. Was my visit a fluke? Rest assured I’ll test that.

I’m not sure where to even start with this place! It costs over 8 dollars to see a movie here and more than likely it is in a tiny theater with a small screen. Oh and good luck even watching the movie all the way through. Ive been here about 5 times in the last two years (and yes it took me that long to learn my lesson lol) and every single time the movie has messed up and stopped or its not focused correctly, the last movie I went to the sound cut out several times in the beginning of the movie which they didn’t restart so I have no idea what was happening! I’m not sure what the staff does here because they obviously don’t clean anything the place is always dirty and the sticky floor is the worst, so don’t forget you Lysol if you plan to go here! I’ve never purchased anything from the snack bar here because just like any theater it’s way over priced, but I don’t imagine it’s any better! it would definitely be worth your money to drive to OKC to see a movie instead. I believe in helping out our community first but his place obviously doesn’t care! with what they charge for movies there is no reason they shouldn’t be able to make it a better theater! If only there was another theater in this town or at least a new owner of this one. in the mean time do not waste your money!

Oh WHYYYYY did I INSIST on seeing Harry Potter at midnight??? I could have waited, gone to Oklahoma City, and seen it on IMAX the very next day. BUT NOOOOOOOOOO… I absolutely HAD to see it the MINUTE it came out! I didn’t think anything could ruin my nerding out with Harry Potter, but Enid’s citizens and this theatre has managed it. There were people there with INFANTS at MIDNIGHT, I had to change seats because the group next to me could not shut up, the sound was totally messed up, the screen went blurry every few seconds… I could go on and on. I took four dollars into the lobby to buy a bottled water only to discover that it was NOT ENOUGH!!!
What EXACTLY are these people putting the theatre’s profits into? There must be a mountain of heroine somewhere that the owners and employees have purchased with the profits and use on a daily basis. There is NO OTHER EXPLANATION for how AWFUL this theatre and it’s employees are!
My experience can be summed up with the twitter status I posted as I exited the theatre:
November 19^th at 2:45am: «That was THE WORST theater experience I have ever had. The sound was awful, the screen was blurry… People were striving to exceed the stereotypical expectations accorded to them. I will NEVER set foot in that theater again.»

I’ve returned a few times in the past 3 months and have decided that a 2-​star review is no longer warranted. So what if they let me into «The Dark Knight» for free last year? I’m tired of this place.
Let’s talk about more filth.
The men’s restroom, with it’s pink wooden door, is ridiculous. It smells like piss, which sounds acceptable, I mean, it is a bathroom. But, it’s as if 8 – 11 people per day relieve themselves directly onto the floor, and it is never mopped up. Ever.
The snack area has a display case with candy. It is also filthy. There are old popcorn kernels strewn about the display case. How hard would it be to wipe this out?
Showtimes? Hmmm where are the showtimes posted? Oh! There they are, on a piece of regular paper sitting on the counter, that 100 people hold each day. So unprofessional.
Movie titles above each theater’s entrance: Also typed on a piece of paper. Is this ghetto or what?
I find myself becoming angry when I visit here, I believe it is $ 8.25 now. The owners of this place definitely do not care.

I can’t add much that hasn’t been already said about how atrocious this «theater» is. I would give it no stars if it was an option.
I would rather spend $ 50 and drive to OKC to see a movie than spend a dime at this theater.
Must be avoided at all cost — hopefully someone will wise-​up and renovate this theater at some point, but the way the rest of the mall looks. I don’t see that ever happening.

If the dickinson wasn’t the only theater in Enid, they would be in big trouble! The Dickinson is located inside of Oakwood Mall and is by far the worst theater I have ever been to! I have never gone to this theater and left satisfied. As a movie lover I expect to go to the theater and experience awesome sound, great picture, plush seats, and a clean environment… I don’t think I’m asking to much when I pay 8 dollars to get in. The sound is always popping (or off sync), the picture is not fitted to the screen, the frame rate is not set correctly, and sometimes the picture is so cut off at the top and or bottom you cant even see peoples heads! I’m surprised that the Dickinson hasn’t gone out of business! With the dropping prices of LCD & Plasma TV screens and the easily affordable surround sound systems, I can create a much better experience in my living room! And I don’t have to deal with all the teenagers around me texting and talking during the whole movie! In conclusion I will say: You will have a much better experience waiting until you can rent the movie, or make an evening out of it and drive to Oklahoma City and watch the movie in a real theater, not a cheap imitation that charges the same price.

…Let me start by saying, the entry way to the theater is real classy. What with the tore up floor, exposed concrete with old floor glue, the metal gate that, for some reason, always appears to be out… man, they really know how to make a first impression.
The Ticket Center: pretty normal I would assume… if normal means 1 very slow line and an under enthusiastic staff member who may or may not have just rolled a tree and took a drag from it.
The treats: fine… nothing to Unilocal home about.
The Theater: Dirty… sometimes stinky… and an awkward stench at that. Remeniscent of 12 year old boys just hitting puberty… oh wait, they were in the front row… The screen itself might have been cool if the staff new how to focus a camera or stretch a screen horizontally. I’ve had to go back to the front 3 times to ask them to fix the screen.
I guess over all it was just dirty. I didn’t give it a 1 star because you’ll still catch me going there on occasions… simply because its the only theater in town… sad day.

This establishment is a bust. It is dirty, has poor picture and sound quality and has the most apathetic staff ever seen.
Many of the seats have holes, the floor is sticky, the carpet ripped and the overall experience is depressing. This is the only theater in Enid so I recommend you head to OKC for a night out .
The entrance to the mall that is closest to the theater is a hangout for all the smokers and teeny boppers. It is strewn with litter and cigarette butts. It makes for a really bad impression.
