O’fallon 15 Cine

My biggest issue with this theater is the ticket price. Unless you’re going to a matinée (before noon), you’re paying an arm and a leg to see your movie. Add in drinks and popcorn? You’re looking at the same price as going out to dinner! I don’t think it should cost this much to go to the movies. The 10 Cine in Fairview Heights boasts ticket prices less than half that amount, although their movies are usually slightly older. I would almost always opt to wait the extra month or so and pay two dollars at the 10, but I’m not exactly a movie aficionado either. The outside could stand some improvements as well. The building looks a bit on the dilapidated side.

A small soda costs $ 5. I was flabbergasted when my grandson returned with no change from a $ 5 bill. I suggest you take your own drinks into the theatre.

I enjoy the Cine 15. I haven’t been in awhile because of the prices, to be honest, but it’s a good choice of theatre with lots of screens and show times. In the theatre we were in, the seats have been revamped to leather-​like reclining rocker chairs w/​moveable arm/​drink rests. The theatre was clean (no stinky floors! Praise Jesus!) and the sound and screen quality was good. I can say it always freezing. The temperature had changed yesterday, but it changed early on. Try bad plenty of time to adjust. In capri leggings, two tanks, and a hoodie jacket I still had goosebumps. By the time we walked outside my teeth were literally chatting. While it’s typical of most theatres, my biggest gripe is the price of everything. For two of us, we spent $ 36.50 on two tickets and a popcorn and soda to share. Too bad because we are both movie buffs and would go to a lot more movies if it was more affordable. Even if the concessions were more reasonable it would help.

Went to see Hunger Games here opening weekend. The theater is ok, nothing to write home about. The main issue I had with it was how dark it was coming into the theater to be seated. Was with bf who has disability and so we always sit in the row of seats immediately inside the theater and somehow the ground walking to them was uneven and as my eyes adjusted I finally saw what looked to be old brackets from seats being bolted down that were left behind. We sat there for some time waiting for the show to start and pretty much anyone who came into the theater seemed to stumble in and head up the stairs slowly. We saw several people trip over the fore mentioned brackets or whatever they are.
Picture quality was as expected for a smaller theater. Didn’t do any consessions (I carry a big purse) so can’t comment on that.
For opening weekend of a major film I can say we got in without much problem and there was a lot of seating available, they had showings mostly every hour — so they seem to know how to keep up with the demand of a new release. Will be back because it’s so close to home but I really wish they’d turn up the lights before the show starts.

I went to see the new Harry Potter movie here and had a horrible experience. The theater was ridiculously hot, it smelled like a locker room that hadn’t been cleaned for a month, and the projector was set so that you lost the top part of the picture!
While I used to like this theater, it’s gone down hill over the last year or two and still charges outrageous rates. If I’m going to pay that much to watch a movie, I’d rather go to the St. Louis theaters & enjoy myself.

It’s pretty clean and you can always get a spot here. I have no complaints. However, I’ll save my 5 star rating for another cinema, where they actually make PIZZA and have desks for you to eat on. Now that’s what I call a dinner and a movie (yes, this does exist)!
Also, unlike AMC, they don’t have the flexible arm rests. At AMC, if you or the person (s) you are with are big, you can lift the armrests to provide more space. Or, if you’re like me, you use another seat or two to put your seat up. It’s very comfortable actually! There’s also more room to move.
