| - I love going to the movies, and I love Cineplex...but I do have some qualms with this theatre.
For starters, they need more bathrooms. A theatre that huge, and in the middle of downtown Toronto should have many more bathrooms - especially in the theatre area for when people are running out during the movie and don't want to be standing in line. The biggest group of bathrooms are all the way at the front of the theatre near the arcade. The bathrooms in the theatre area only have 2 stalls, so there is always a wait.
I don't like how Cineplex got rid of the free re-fills on combos. We pay so much to go to the theatre as it is, and the food on top of it. How much does it really cost you to fill up someone's popcorn? I had a couple of friends who worked at Cineplex and there are garbage bags full of popcorn that are thrown out at the end of the day. Stop being so cheap.
I generally take TTC to this theatre, but the last time I drove with my friends. We parked in the lot next door and found out that Cineplex doesn't validate parking on the weekend. Lame.
All of that being said, the theatres themselves are very big, so you really get that big screen look/sound. The seats are comfortable and the place is clean. Staff are friendly as well. There are a lot of options for food and beverage (including alcohol - though you can't bring it in to the threatre). The pop machines are awesome, but be forewarned...the "Cherry Coke Zero" - and the other Coke Zero flavour mixes - isn't TRUE Cherry Coke Zero. It's just Cherry Coke mixed with Coke Zero.
Like I said earlier, I love going to the movies, and I love Cineplex. Ya, I have a few qualms with them, but I am still going to come. The price just makes my visits fewer and far between but at the same time, I only pick movies that are really worth seeing on the big screen and it makes the experience more enjoyable.
