Carmike 10

Not at all a decent movie theater, but its the only one we have here in Stillwater. Capitalism at work ladies and gents. No real competition and issues don’t get fixed and the building isn’t updated with any real significance. The lobby faces west with a full set of windows. That equals an incredibly hot lobby during the summer. The movie theaters themselves are a 50:50 shot for comfort. My recommendation is to dress in layers. The theater itself seems like a cheap 1980s build and it’s very obvious. I’ve never personally seen cockroaches but I’m not going to look for those.
We’ve been incredibly disappointed in the movie releases as of late. Movies like Ex Machina (it’s a college town this movie is perfect for this demographic) were in the theater for maybe a week, but we’ll get kids movies in there for weeks on end. I’m currently trying to figure out if they’ll get Hardcore Henry this weekend for the opening, but they haven’t updated the movie selection on Fandango (which is advertised heavily prior to movies). It opens on Saturday and it’s currently Wednesday. In fact, nothing is listed past Thursday. Guess we’ll be driving an hour to go to dinner and a movie. This is just two examples. I didn’t see Hail Ceasar playing either come to think of it. Almost 3 weeks after its release Deadpool still has a dedicated theater.
To be honest, I might be a little impressed if they get Hardcore Henry this weekend. The person in charge of getting movies on their release date is truly horrible.
So all in all, if you don’t buy the concession (it’s incredibly expensive. We buy a large coke and it’s in excess of $ 7 there is a large popcorn and large drink combo that’s $ 20), you can get 2 non-​3D tickets for under $ 20. 3D movies get pretty pricey. Go next door to BWW to eat a cheapish dinner (that’ overpriced too unless you eat the lunch menu) and you’ll see your movie in some resemblance of comfort and will be able to talk about it with your friends and critique it on Facebook. But it isn’t any kind of stellar movie viewing experience that you’ll be impressed with.

I have never seen so many cockroaches in one place other than that the movie was great but a cockroach tried to walk off with my popcorn in my drink that was nine dollars.

If I could give a zero I would! This is the absolute worse run and operating theatre I’ve ever seen! The only reason people go here is because it’s the only theatre here in Stillwater! We often drive to Tulsa or Okc to avoid this place! It’s either too hot or cold, always long lines. projectors and volume are always off, here recently they haven’t played preview with the movie which is half the fun! I hate this place! I’m actually looking into getting funds to open a theater here! Stillwater deserves better! We deserve better than this place!

Everytime I think this theater can’t get worse it goes and proves me wrong. The sound has always been bad and the screens subpar. During my latest experience the whole theater smelled of paint, you had to wait in line to buy tickets in the same line as concessions (which was understaffed), and the theater was hot. On top of that I was charged $ 18.50 (!!!) for nachos and a medium drink, the former of which was a bag of generic chips and a jello cup full of luke warm cheese. The movies have forsaken this town and we are forced to wander in a barren wasteland where we can only suckle at the teat of local film overlords.

It was 95 degrees out and the air was barely blowing. The women’s bathroom was dirty and my son said the men’s room was so bad he didn’t even use it. The theater wasn’t cleaned between shows either, so there was some garbage around.

Only theater in town. Sometimes everything runs great, sometimes not so much. Food is very pricey.

If you don’t live in Stillwater but want to know what living here is like, a visit to Carmike 10 is in order.
Basically, there’s nothing atrociously bad about the theater: They show all the main releases, they’ve got okay seats, etc. However, like everything in Stillwater, it’s about 15 – 20 years behind the times. The picture quality and sound (compared to a theater you’d go to in Tulsa or OKC) are bad, the selection is unimaginative, and the food is standard for tiny-​town movie theaters.
Basically, Carmike 10 would go out of business if a multiplex from any decent-​sized city opened a branch here. However, that’s not going to happen, so Carmike 10 stays in business because it’s the only theater here. Welcome to Stillwater.
UPDATE: Recently we tried to find out showtimes at this theater. None were listed online (at either the Carmike website or other sites like Moviefone or Fandango). Plus, they didn’t even have a recording when we called their phone number. Finally, we drove by, and there weren’t even any times on their marquee! Literally, people were pulling up by the box office, getting out, and asking the guy at the window what the showtimes were!

When is this theater going to be torn down and or made into a well needed low income/​homeless shelter???
This theater is the only one around 30 miles or so. That may be only one of many reasons this theater is almost tolerated by the locals.
The restrooms are one step above «the worst toilet in scotland» scene in Trainspotting (
)
The screen was dimly lit and one of the 3 «exit» signs was shining red light on the screen, washing out the picture even more! The seats do not recline. Of every movie I have ever seen there, never have a Dolby or THX sound trailer played before the picture because over half of the ‘surround sound’ speakers do not work.
The center channel speakers make the characters sound like they are speaking dialog with a mouthful of saltine crackers dipped in mescaline. The glass between the theater and the projection room was smeared with finger prints of zip popping teenagers, making the DLP picture look fuzzier a Barbara Walter’s Interview with vasaline on the lens.
Avoid this theater at all cost. This theater is a motivation for an investment in a decent home theater or trip to Warren Moore Theater (which survived the May 2013 Moore Tornado!)

Ugh! They’re ridiculously lucky to be the only movie theatre in town!

Pretty nice movie theater for Stillwater! The student discount is great, and some of the specials (such as $ 1 soda and $ 1 popcorn on Tuesdays) are pretty good. Now, aside form Tuesdays, the concession prices are pretty ridiculous, but it wouldn’t be a movie theater if it didn’t have 6,000% markup!
One actual negative, in my opinion, is that the lobby is fairly small, so it get’s pretty crowded during weekend evening, especially when a highly anticipated new movie is out. This wouldn’t be as bad if they would have set lines for the movie, but it’s pretty much just everyone crowded in the lobby. Not a huge deal, but slightly inconvenient.
Anyways, they keep the theater pretty clean and I always have a good time here.

Meh only theater in stilly… overpriced popcorn.
