| - In light of recent big changes to Silvercity Brampton at Trinity Commons, it seemed appropriate to write a review.
With the recent changes to many Silvercity locations, and the addition of the Ultra-AVX screens, B-town decided to hop on that bandwagon, and I recently got to check out the results.
Firstly, certain things were the same. The snack bar hasn't changed at all, nor has the Burger King tucked behind it. The NY Fries has (maybe not so) recently become what appears to be a much healthier alternative, though I didn't get close enough to really examine the menu. Besides, if you don't want to eat overpriced theater food, Trinity offers Casey's, Montanas, East Side Marios, Pizza Pizza, Harvey's, Subway, Wild Wing, and a couple of other chain-restaurant options.
The entire ticket-purchase station is revamped, and moved to the side wall, which is so much more convenient, as the old station allowed for a chaotic line that would extend through the entranceway. They've also added a large new screen which displays the showtimes, and will alert the customer if a certain time is cutting close or has already started, through colour-changes and a flashing font. And what I believe is a first in any theater I've been in...a CLOCK is also featured prominently. I've never understood why a clock is never found in a place populated by people needing to know the time, but there you have it.
Another thing that hasn't changed is the small arcade area. Some of the machines look like they've seen way better days, and they don't really seem to be getting that much play, but perhaps at busier times they're really put to use. I also noticed a new addition...it appears to be a little glass booth you stand in, which simulates being in a furious storm. I figured I'd save my money, and just hit the Silvercity during a bad blizzard for the real thing.
As for the screens, I'm Team AVX all the way. I just can't fathom going back, now that I've been spoiled with this thing, the 5 dollar additional fee is a drop in the bucket for the extra comfort. I confess: I'm normally that guy who shifts uncomfortably like some drug addict during the entirety of shows, because I hate the seats so much. These new AVX theater seats are like sitting on a giant cotton ball, if the cotton ball reclined and held your drink for you. Just lovely. The picture and sound are pitch-perfect as well. One huge complaint I used to have with this Silvercity were the screens being so completely darkened, that you couldn't even see what was going on in really-dark scenes. It feels good to return to normality, as my first 2 movies on these screens were horror films with very dark scenes (Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The Thing, since you asked), and had no complaints whatsoever.
As an added bonus for our South Asian friends (or any fans of Indian films really), Silvercity B-town recognizes the demand for fine Indian cinema in this particular region, and devotes a few screens to it.
I'm really glad they've fixed up this theater. Now I don't have to trek to Mississauga to enjoy a movie!
