Chisholm Trail 8: low-cost local entertainment
Newton Theater provides quality movie experiences perfect for college students.
Most people know North Newton to be a pretty small city. As of 2022, the population of North Newton was one thousand eight hundred thirty-four (1,834). One might say that is the perfect size, but another could argue that it’s too small. A common question around campus is “What do you guys do for fun around here?” While Newton and North Newton might be small there is still quite a lot to do close by.
One of the most popular activities in town is the Chisholm Trail 8 movie theater. Part of its popularity is the pricing. The tickets are already cheaper than most theaters, and when Bethel students show their student ID, they get a discounted admission rate.
Currently, the theater is showing Despicable Me, Inside Out 2, It Ends With Us, Twisters, and many more. Even though it is a small-town theater, it still shows big-time movies, equal to any big city theater you may visit.
Need a film suggestion? Here’s a short overview of one showing at Chisholm Trail Theaters right now:
Twisters
Twisters is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and distributed by Universal Pictures. If you’re talking about Twisters you have to mention the soundtrack. The movie includes songs like “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” by Luke Combs. It is as hype as it gets and conveys the emotions someone could feel when storm chasing, while still telling the story of fighting off your fears. Other artists featured include Tyler Childers and Bailey Zimmerman
As far as the movie itself, the plot is great for those who love a good adventure movie. Without revealing too much, Twisters jumps out of the gate, getting the viewers on the edge of their seats and emotionally attached to the characters.
The first few minutes of the film set the tone for what the audience can expect for the rest of the film, storm chasing in every other scene. The graphics are out of this world, taking the viewers into the eye of the storm, in the tornado capital of the world, Oklahoma.
If you ever find yourself with nothing to do, take a trip to the Chisholm Trail 8 Theatres, and catch a viewing of one of the new movies available - grab a friend or two to go along!
