This is my go to cineplex theater, even though I live in the downtown core. I like that it is generally fairly quiet and there's a number of great restaurants nearby!
My boyfriend and I have been here on a number of occasions and usually buy tickets to see films in VIP- I'm not a fan of waiting in line to see a film that came out that weekend and I love the couch style chairs. So we make the short drive over. There's always lots of parking, you might have to do a short walk, but I like to think after all the popcorn I'm about to consume, it might be a good idea to get some exercise in while I'm at it!
Here's something to note, which is the biggest issue for me with this theater: they have a separate entrance for VIP. You think that should be fine. No issue. But kind of an issue. VIP at this theater will not serve small popcorn. They only offer their VIP sizes- medium and large (which look smaller than a typical medium or large). They also don't offer some of the usual items from the non-VIP side (i.e. hotdog). So we usually go and just order the items we want from the non-VIP side and then make our way to VIP. When it is blizzarding out, that walk between entrances seems really inconvenient, especially when you can see the VIP entrance inside but they do not allow customers to go through it. Strange!
It's somewhat annoying that I can't order something that is within the same building and so I need to make my way to the main area of the Cineplex, from outside, in order to get our desired snacks.
But! The main area also has a Tim Horton's which I think is a huge win for a movie theater! Get a steeped tea while watching a movie in a cold theater. Heck yeah!
So overall, I enjoy this theater and we make the trip out to go to this specific one. We just always have a game plan ready of stopping into the main area for snacks before proceeding to the VIP section.
