Benn coming to this theater my whole life, and honestly it looks better than ever! Great job on the remodel. Yummy snacks and the customer service was great and friendly.

This is an old movie theater but its been updated and it looks a lot nicer than it did last year. About the only complaint I have is the way the consession stand is run. Its not very efficient.There would be a long line of people and only two workers and at any moment one of the workers would disappear leaving only one at the register for a good amount of time. Thank goodness there was not as much people as usual or some of us would have missed the beginning of the movie.

So much better than before. Loved the recliner seats! The old yucky smell is gone and everything is super clean!

New seat omg ........

The movie was great (the new Star Wars). The theatre is typical of a small town theater. Half the chairs are comfy high backs & the other half are possibly the original chairs. Theyve remodeled in recent years, so its much nicer than it used to be. The idea of purchasing your ticket at the exact same spot where people buy food is a little strange.

I like this theatre because its my local theatre and the sound system is pretty good. Seat are usually very comfy. My one complaint is that the popcorn isnt so good. I wish it was better because popcorn os pretty essential for a movie. Other than that I think its a GREAT spot to go!

Newly remodeled and updated. Nice, clean, low key, affordable. Enjoyed it a lot. Nice chairs replace the old worn out ones. Recommended.

They are pretty good here. They offer $5 Tuesdays so thats nice. Theyre also installing new chairs to replace the old beat up chairs which is a welcome upgrade. This movie theater is overall pretty good.

The new reclining seats are awesome

Shut this place down.If I could buy this place and turn it around, I would. It would take minimal effort to make this place better than it is right now.We bought our tickets online, just like everyone else in America, and when I showed them our confirmation number and QR code they said “We prefer it if you print it out and then bring that in”No where does it say that was a requirement. The person nearby whom I assume was in charge, just said that they need to post that on their website that their scanner is broken. I was treated like I was the inconvenience.It looks as though a part of the theater is undergoing renovation, which we had to walk through to get to the movie screen. So the environment was dirty and it didn’t look as though anyone was trying to imply safety about it or clean it up.The seats are nasty and falling apart. The screen is classically small, but movies are priced as a modern theater.Overall, this place is gross, the employees don’t care about you, and it’s falling apart.Take the time to drive out of Oak Harbor and go somewhere else. I was uncomfortable taking my wife here, and won’t do it again.

Since the old owners took back over, they have made a lot of positive changes. The box office and concession areas look better and are better staffed. The addition of beer and wine is a welcome addition. Just waiting on the new seating and a general cleaning of the theater areas.

Clean. Professional staff. Love love love 5$ Tuesdays. Love the addition of glass pours of wine and beer.

New management making great changes. I was there in mid August 2019 and they have updated a lot of the concessions equipment and new seating is on the way in the next few weeks. Im excited to see how much more they improve. The staff was very friendly that night too, though I dont think that has ever been a problem in the past.

New chairs, excellent sound, not too loud like other theaters, good selection of munchies, staff is friendly, very much like home.

Since only theater in town limits options on where to go watch a movie. Theater if old and outdated. Seats are uncomfortable and not stadium seating like modern theaters. Price was ok for matinee.Staff was friendly and courteous.

First time here, not bad. It will be better after they putting in the rest of the new seats.

Great place. I hid a bike in here and no one said anything

Making a turn around but the seats are still rather uncomfortable. Given we can watch from the comfort of our home furniture expectations for being comfortable while watching the latest blockbuster is quiet high. Keep up the effort.

Its a local theater, slightly old, a bit run down. It is being remodeled, though, so Ill have to check back soon. They show first run movies, and actually recently started to serve beer -- good things. I use the term serve a little loosely... I think the bartender is still learning how to get the beer into the cup without over filling it. Im avoiding all the obvious jokes here; lets just say it finally all came out ok and without a lot of....well, foam.

Great place for movies, snacks are pricey to support the theater. Comfortable and usually not crowded.

Looking very nice up dated front end and new sets in cinemas.

Love the Cinebar now open to get wine and beer! Will be back soon!

Tickets are a good price, especially on Tuesdays and before 6, just eat somewhere else either before or after the movie. Last I checked, concessions for a small popcorn and a water bottle is 9$.

Good theater making it better all the time with upgrades.

Small, but improving all the time - had new seats when we visited today! Staff is very friendly and the price is fair for a cinema :)

A little better since the renovation. Not bad if you dont have time to go to a bigger theater

Still need to update the seating but much improved

You are on the right track. We have been long time fans of our local cinema, but lately have been going off-island to have beer/wine/prosecco with the movie (Prosecco and popcorn is the bomb). We went to OHC the other day and were pleased with the improvements- one big deficit though- WAY too many IPAs on the menu. Where is the love for Porters, Stouts, Reds, etc? Major points for having a Hellbent choice, but their Moontower Stout is far superior to the IPA you chose. So, diversify your beer options, maybe get splits of Prosecco and we’ll be there all the time.

Bumped my review up to five stars because they are putting in the effort to improve the theater for customers. Looking forward to seeing the changes.

Comfortable seats, spacious, and friendly service.

Their website posts inaccurate movie show times due to a company switch I guess. My family and I showed up to watch secret life of pets 2 which allegedly began at 2pm, but we were told it begins at 3:30. The girl working was very sweet and friendly, but she appeared to be working alone, poor thing. Movie started late, due to clear understaffing, place is rundown and kinda grimy. But its all oak harbor has unfortunately....

Not bad the picture and sound quality was good however the theater is in need of refurbishing the air vents and surrounding tile were covered in dirt many of the ceiling tiles had water damage indicating that there might be mold or other problems for people with health issues.

Great place, just need cleaning in bathroom more often. I wish prices on movies hadnt gone up so much. And prices and choices of concession food has gone up in price and down in value.

Prices are decent, clean but seats were very uncomfortable. I was wearing shorts and the ripped leather kept scratching my legs.

Enjoy the movie and friendly and helful staff.

$5 Tuesdays was exactly what this place needed. No frills movie theater still undergoing renovations so it isnt the prettiest (yet). But what they lack in looks they make up for in staff. Very friendly helpful people behind the counter that were patient with my grandma (who gets confused easily from illness). Little pricey on the snacks (what theater isnt?) and the snackbar closes like an hour before the movie ends which is weird. Still, for $5 on Tuesdays? Great experience.

The chairs are falling apart, there is literally mold and dust caked on the walls and ceiling. Its so gross

The floors were sticky majority of the seats were torn the sound was terrible

This theater is very small town, but that is its charm. Very friendly attendants. Good snack and drinks. The best on the island!!

For what it is in a small town amd for those military folk who do not want to watch on base or drive an hour, it does its job. Staff is nice, theatre has its bare minimums for food&drinks which is fine honestly, the seats itself are all on the side with an open path down the middle so dont expect to find a middle seat.

A place that you know makes money specially when it’s the only theater out here can’t even afford locks on the girls bathroom stalls. I mean come on update your movie theater. If I was the owner i would be pretty embarrassed. Even one of the seats with the cushion was broken.

Its in dire need of a remodel. But the movie was, also seemed expensive.

On employee to run tickets and snackbar, with 2 popular movies playing on a Sunday night.She did great but should have been another person to help!This theater is showing its age.

It really does feel like a mom and pop movie theater, a blast from the past. Cant beat it!

$5 movies on Tuesdays us a great deal!

Watch Hobb and Shaw movie. It was a great movie

Is very good to be a small and old movie theater, I pay about 20 dollar for two tickets on Monday, and another 20 dollars for the combo, large popcorn and large soda, isnt crazy??!! I think is a little pricey, The chairs are old but are moderately comfortable, the service is exceptional, the girls in the counter are very sweet, I really enjoy my movie, is a little pricey but I like to support local business. Give it a try!

Its what you expect an old cinema to be. Seats are comfortable and lean back, but its not a high end experience. Youre there to watch a movie in the dark.

Very friendly staff, good visual, a little quiet but overall not bad. Had a great time!

Great popcorn and prices. Never busy and friendly staff. Dated but if you are not wanting the long drive to a larger cinema Oak Harbor Cinema is a good little small town cinema.

Quaint older cinema.

Excellent customer service! Older building, but theaters were very clean. Visibility is great from every seat, sound is incredible and screens are at a comfortable level. Nice variety of snacks and beverages. Very pleased overall with facility and employees.

Only sit-in theater in oak harbor so youre pretty much stuck at this point besides the drive in. Prices were high for such a tiny theater. Matinee prices were still over 10 dollars. Food was alright. Would rather drive 30 to 45 minutes into Burlington to a good theater.

I went and saw the movie Black Panthers is was great. The place was clean and the popcorn was fresh. The price on the food could use some looking into.

Love that they had booster seats for kids to sit in the theater

My hometown theater looking a little ragged around the edges. They could use a seat upgrade for sure. Great popcorn though!

Really needs updated. They never replace the digital projector bulbs so picture is always too dim and never bright or sharp. Went to see infinity war and could barely see details in darker scenes The seats are narrow, falling apart, many are broken and they are very uncomfortable for someone older with arthritis, or back and leg issues, or who is just large. Sound system is good depending on where you sit. They are barely staffed except on sneak preview/premier nights. The concessions are very overpriced considering how little they put into comfort or quality of the theater.

The theater is older, and like many places in Oak Harbor, does need an upgrade. However, every ptime I’ve seen a movie here, the movie quality has been great and the seats are standard movie-theater seats. Popcorn is always fresh and prices are fair, considering that most theaters only make money from concessions and not the actual ticket sales. Never had any problems here and even when only one person has been working, that employee was quick and gracious!

Landed on $5.00 Tuesday! I didnt know all movies would only be $5, Nice little complex of theaters for the local community.

Great little dive movie place, its kinda old home town of a movie place, you expect a $5 late show lol but its also friendly and good popcorn lots of space, and even the guests make sure to not b rude its family night at its best !

I went to watch a movie tonight with my husband and grandaughter, and I was going to use my birthday buy one ticket get one free ticket and my free med popcorn since tonight is the deadline to use them, so I showed it to the cashier on my phone and she tells me that I cant use it because I should print it out because she has no idea if that has been used before because people could use it more than one time, she said that she didnt know if the email states that but it should so she said she wasnt going to let me use them, so we paid for something I shouldnt have had to. How do they know if I or anyone else owns a printer.

Loved The Movie AND your cinema is the one I always go to Loved it

New look, new experiences!

Convenient is the word to describe it. I cant say more. If youre looking for a good theater with a lot of option, look somewhere else.

We just saw the new Thor movie last night. The movie was great. But we were one of the first people there. The floor was sticky and I saw left over cups on other seats. Where we were seeting the arm rests were broken. We were sitting in the back and all we heard was a very load beeping sound coming from the popcorn stand and they didnt turn it off!

Very much in need of some updates. The manager there is consistently extremely rude to the staff and was horrible to a customer in front of us the other day. Most of the staff seem incredibly unhappy with their jobs and there seems to be a high rate of turnover for good staff members. Movies/previews often start late. The manager spoke negatively about competitors and other local businesses to my wife. At those prices, its worth driving to a higher quality establishment. But theyre sufficient for a quick date, as long as youre not worried about impressing the other person.

Excellent popcorn except for far too salty, sizes seem small for price. Seats ok, sound good. Bathroom clean.

Needs a bit of an upgrade but a great experience

I like this cinema. Its not a fancy new theater with 30 screens but why would it be? Its small town theater. Full stop.The building is a little oldish but thats no ones fault but the people who invented time. Seats are comfy and the concession isnt any higher than any other theaters. In fact, theyre probably a little lower. Never had a problem with rude staff here either. Seems like a lot of the reviews on here are really petty.

Remodels look nice.

No paper towels, diry bathrooms

It’s sad to write this as we have gone here since the early 1980’s.I just want to express the disappointment from Saturday’s experience. I paid $27 for 3 people. I’m glad we went early to a matinee.I’d hate to pay an evening price.No way was I paying $17 for popcorn and drinks and a token candy.Had to move 5 times to find a seat that wasn’t broken or squeaky .It seems only the 2 front speakers made any sound the other four were broken I guess.Tripping over the duct tape holding down the floor lights was an extra treat as well as the sticky floor .The bathrooms smell like pee, they need a remodel from this century .I really enjoy having to wash the bottoms of my shoes after a movie.

Good moives good prices a little small tho

Just need to upgrade seats then would be 5 star.

Nice little home town theater. Military friendly, great popcorn, comfortable seats, and pleasant staff.

Our first time visiting the Oak Harbor Cinemas. The movie was great but the experience not so much so. The place smelled like the back seat of my grandparents old sedan. The seating was very uncomfortable and in fact both my daughter and wife were sore before the movie was over. For me the kicker was the audio quality. The sound track was not aligned with movie. Dont know if it was electronic delay or projector set up but whatever the cause it was very distracting.All that said, it was a first run movie at a discounted price so you get what pay for.

Went there yesterday for the first time. Got there a couple minutes late so was trying to find a seat in the dark during the previews. The seat I chose was broken and when I sat in it it felt like I was going to fall on the floor. I had bought a Medium Popcorn and it tasted funny. I think either the butter or the oil they used was rancid. Great Movie... very unpleasant experience.

Nice little theatre to catch a movie

For a small town cinema, this place has it all. Up to date, current movies as well as classics for reasonable prices. Concession is pricey, but what cinema isnt? Home town feel.

Theater is run down. Water stains on ceiling, projector is crooked. Only one person working counter most days. Takes awhile to get ticket, then get back in line and see same person for popcorn. Theater is likely cutting cost to stay in business or owner is cheap beyond reason.

A standard small town theater reasonable pricing for movies and snacks even some collectable items for the ones that like to do that.

I really wanted to give this place more stars. I love that it is an older theater, very old school, and I felt like I stepped back in time to my high school days. The big problem I had was the sound. I could hear the explosions and everything just fine but it was dialogue that was very difficult to understand. I was watching the movie First Man and basically left 2/3 of the way through because I couldnt understand a word they were saying. Someone needs to EQ that sound system so dialogue can be understood.

I enjoyed this theatre. Popcorn was good. Price was better.

Nice staff, Good seats and decent prices. Appearance could use a little work.

The only theater in town. Just average not bad but not spectacular. I go here because it only takes 5 minutes to get here.

Employees were rude, we were trying to get our popcorn and soda (we had a small group) and an employee came out and was like “you’re going to miss the movie!” as if we didn’t already know the movie was staring soon. Did not like that they weren’t patient and were rude.

Great theater for a small town. Good prices.

Perfectly fine small-town movie theater. Staff are great, seats are fairly comfortable. Because its small, it doesnt always show a wide variety of movies.

Love this place. Really enjoyed our time here.

I understand its a small town movie theater. So this review is service based. I showed up 10 minutes before my movie start of the 645 jumanji and had only 4 people ahead of me by the time I was able to purchase a ticket the movie had already been running for ten minutes. So I just said no. On top of that I seen the cashier belittle some man in front of me for his card not working.

Nice & clean. Fantastic seating. Definately see more movies there.

I LOVE that they have 10am showings on Saturdays!Just saw the Incredibles 2. I recommend the 5th or 6th row if you want full immersion.

I dropped my super small popcorn at a field trip there ;-;

Could be better maintained. 3 theaters

Needs new clean seats also the speakers suck. But good friendly staff, you can also buy movie posters which is awesome

OK, lets be fair here, this a small theater, serving a small community. They show first run movies at a fair price. The consessions are a bit overpriced... but isnt that usually the case? The place deserves maybe another half star, for effort.But it is an old building, some of the seats are worn and broken, and the screens are not huge, and the sound system isnt the latest and greatest.It is a triplex, so there is more than one movie. And as I mentioned, they do try.

While the staff were very friendly it was a complete mess inside. There is construction going on and you could hear it during the movie.

This is my hometown theatre since 1994. So nice to have a clean comfortable place to view first run movies that must be seen on the big screen!

We love going to Oak Harbor Cinemas! Never a crowd, super friendly staff and they play all the first run movies! Its great!

Went to see Wrinkle in Time recently, and had the following experience: Very easy parking, right up front. Only 4 other people in the whole theater with us. Total bill for one adult, one child: $20, popcorn and water: $12. So--was that a $32 experience? No. The audio had me wondering for a minute if it was time for hearing aids....I wondered if it was the movie, but it seems this is also found in other reviews. So, the good news is that Im not going deaf, but the bad news is that I missed a bunch of dialogue in the movie. Seats are rickety, floors are a touch sticky. Staff seemed to be hoping a fairy godmother would just come and rescue her from this place, and I cant really blame her. It was kind of sad. And--the popcorn was so salty we gave up eating it. Who even pre-salts popcorn these days, though? My lips are still salt-puckered as I write this. Moviegoers in this region are kind of trapped with this being the game in town, so why not at least update a few things and fix the broken ones? It could be a pleasant charming little theater--it really could.
