| - They get away with murder, price-wise. I'm not that old, and I remember a day when going to the movies cost $4. Sometimes prices here are pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty steep. In my opinion, anyhow. It has the same negative thingamabobs as other theatres of course - sticky floors, over-expensive junk food, bathrooms too far from whatever theatre you're watching a movie in (to ensure that you miss as much of the movie as possible), nothing for an annoying vegan to eat, people talking too loud during movies, etc. They also rarely (if ever) play francophone movies. Pense même pas d'amener maman icitte.
However, they the seats are generally comfortable, generally empty on weekdays/weeknights, has a decent arcade section (perfect for drunken air hockey matches), and their refund policy is actually pretty good. I even scored free tickets to the Dark Knight once upon a time, but that's another story. When the movie finishes sometimes the staff look at you, smile and ask, "Was it good?" and "Did you like it?" I like that. Even though they probably are being forced to do that by some asshole making 300 times the money that they do, it works at making me like them.
Great location. Shitty prices and food. So-so everything else.
