    DC and other cartoon plushies
    Janice Y.

    This is the first time I have visited a theatre since the Pandemic hit. We came here as a group of 4 on a Friday to watch Black Widow on July 30th. We tried booking the first week of Black Window opening and it was full. So I would expect the second week to be relatively busy. When we arrived and sat in our assigned seats, it surprised me how well-spaced we are. There is only one other group on the same row as us, and we were approx 10 seats apart. Maybe it's partly because you can also stream Black Widow but we felt like keeping to tradition and watching in theatres. Did you know you can order food delivered to the theatre? They have a designated side table for you to pick up your delivery inside near the entrance. Though I'm not sure if this is a partnership with Cineplex, when I ordered a drink and two burritos from Burrito Boyz (3min drive away), I was surprised the bill came up to $40-50~. Does Cineplex take a cut? I understand if they do because they make most of their revenue from food and drinks. The place is clean and spacious. I would feel comfortable to revisit.

    Seeing The Batman!

    We were determined not to get The Batman spoiled for us so we decided on seeing an afternoon showing the day following the midnight premier. We opted to buy our tickets online. Annoyingly you do have to sign up for an account to be able to buy tickets. Once you're in, you can select your seats for your selected time. On our way to the theatre, my partner realized that he had forgotten his glasses which would definitely impact the viewing quality. We attempted to get a hold of customer support via the chat method on the website but it seemed impossible to connect with a live agent. We left the chat window open for 30 minutes with no response. Under the FAQ of the website, they state that you can change your showtime up to a half hour before the show. We had just passed that mark but decided to try our luck anyways. This theatre is pretty much standalone by itself. The parking lot is huge and the nearest establishment to it is a Kelsey's that's right along the street. You should be able to find parking no problem. We explained our predicament to the greeter who directed us to the box office for any requests that involved moving showtimes. The employee that helped us at the till simply asked us to select another showtime and then had us pick our seats on the touch-screen monitor they had on there. Then we were printed new tickets and our way back home to retrieve our forgotten items. For the new releases they have a lot of options for viewing - DBOX seats, IMAX seats, and just the regular theatre experience. We went with the later. The screen was still huge and sound was great, nothing ear shattering. The seats have a slight recline to them if you lean back. They were comfy enough for the whole 2.5 hour movie. At the end of The Batman movie, the employees were handing out complimentary comic books which was pretty cool. Lastly when I was checking out the concession stands, I noticed that they carry plushies and blankets which are great if you get cold in the theatre. They also have little figurines of the popcorn characters that are in the Scotiabank commercials that are shown during the previews.

    Update 2019-11-02. At the Entrance, there are now 4 very large touch-screen where you can play the game "Breakout" for free. I was here for a corporate event again. It was held in their theatre 1 which is their big Ultra AVX theatre. The temperature outside was around 8C and drizzle. Unfortunately inside the theatre it was slightly cold. I had to where a coat and thin gloves. I hope the other theatres were warmer. The audio (via a microphone) was bad in that the person spoke (which you can hear if sitting close enough) and then the sound comes out of the large speakers behind the screen one second later! Yes the AVX theatre had ver comfortable leather seats that can recline.ĺ

    This Cineplex is huge! With 17 screens plus the VIP section! The parking lot is huge and I was able to find a parking with no issue and it was even close to their entrance! The food selection here is quite good. There is even a Tim Horton's! A slice of pizza for $3.99 was also quite reasonable. The washrooms here also really clean and plentiful.

    Corporate event - popcorn and drinks

    The last time I was at this Cineplex was probably over a decade ago. It wasn't a VIP theatre back then. It didn't have a ton of business development around. It was simply a theatre with a single restaurant across the parking lot. I recently came here for a corporate event. The area has also been massively developed with restaurants and shops. The parking lot looks the same. However, the interior looks and feels different. For me, signage is important. If you don't have proper signage, I will be the first one to tell you that it's bad when I can't get to where I need to be. I am truly your usability tester when it comes to signage and GPS directions. I will tell you if the steps are perfect, or if they truly suck and I end up in another city. Thankfully, there were plenty of clean signs indicating that we needed auditorium 3. This place treated everyone like royalty. Bags of popcorn were available for you to pick up steps away from auditorium 3. Bottle drinks? Pick up one from a ton of selection. It was nice. I thanked the nice Cineplex woman in front of the table of goodies, who appreciated it and smiled back. I walked in with one of my interns. Auditorium 3 is huge! It seats at least 200 people. We walked up the steps and plopped down in our seats. They were comfy. You could lean back a bit, but we decided not to annoy the folks behind us. We flagged my other intern who came in later. We all sat together, munched on our popcorn even though we were all stuffed from lunch, and I opened my bottle of Diet Coke when a speaker was talking. Yes, you could hear it. I didn't care. It's either I annoy folks for a few seconds with the sound of twisting the cap off and taking a drink, or I die from thirst and have an ambulance come fetch me. There were presentations and focus groups during this corporate event. The video and audio were perfect. It was a decent setting for everything that was presented and planned. The best part was that the presentation ended at 4 pm on a windy, cold Friday afternoon. We could go home. Yay! I'd like to come back here and give the VIP experience a try. I loved looking at the arcade section. It looked impressive and I wanted to play some games. I also liked this little marketplace where you could purchase popcorn, snacks, and drinks. It looks different from the regular concession stands that you expect at Cineplex, which is refreshing. (89)

    The movie theatre has plenty of parking and just around at the corner of Islington and Queensway.. easily accessible to Gardiner Express highway! Also noticed recently there are more self service kiosk.. glad to see mostly it is paperless. Oh and there is Tim's inside after you scan your ticket. So good to have coffee too instead of a regular pop

    Watched sonic with my friends and pals I truly felt like I was in the world of green hills as I stood there in awe of the comfortable seats with buttered popcorn this facility is amazing I truly had the best of times in here. Once the movie was over I wanted more but not just more, I wanted MORE. Luckily the arcade had sonic, tails, knuckles, even shadow plus many other friends and pals (Bert) after we won them all we truly felt the trilogy until I checked Twitter. I then took a picture of me and the minions to understand what sonic and speed really meant.

    JJ and I love watching movies, and our go-to theatre is the Queensway Cineplex VIP (just look at my check-in haha). Anyway, I like this theatre a lot more than the Yonge/Dundas, as parking spaces are plenty here. Most of the movies we watched are in VIP unless the movie is shorter than 1.5 hrs or animation. Cineplex VIP is not cheap at $24.99 per person (Fri-Sun), but I enjoy it as it has (1) better food selection (2) advanced seat selection (3) in-seat service (4) you can drink alcohol (5) comfy seats, and finally (6) no kids as it's 19+ We like going on opening weekends, but if you don't care for it ... then I'd suggest going on Tues or Wed. It's much cheaper on those two days. Service ends at show-time, so I'd recommend arriving at least 15-20 min earlier if you want to order food & drinks (pop or alcohol) with their in-seat service. Plus, since it's priced much higher than the regular seating (compared to $12.99), people actually watch the movie and not chat, talk on their cell, or text throughout the showing. Not bad at all for a movie night out!

    The service is fine, the food quality is was okay. We ordered the edamame, jalapeño poppers and popcorn. The edamame didn't seem fresh, didn't have any salt, pepper or sesame seeds- disappointing! The popcorn was average and the poppers were delicious. The VIP theatre was somewhat clean, but seemed a bit grungy in screening room 5. I tipped when I paid for the food and then when the server brought out the food, seemed like he was waiting for a tip as well. (Awkward)

    Looking for something different to do in the city? The Jury Experience at the Royal Theatre is a…read moreunique and engaging way to spend an evening. While the event itself was relatively short, just over an hour, I found it surprisingly immersive from start to finish. We selected the trial involving a driverless car that had been involved in an accident with a cyclist, a scenario that felt both timely and thought-provoking. With the purchase of your ticket, you agree to be sworn in as a juror and are asked to make decisions just as a real jury would. The cast was excellent, with convincing performances from the judge, prosecution, defence counsel, witnesses, and other courtroom participants. Their performances helped bring the case to life and made the experience feel authentic. The evidence and data presented throughout the trial were educational and challenged the audience to think critically about emerging technology, responsibility, and decision-making. One of the highlights was the opportunity to discuss the case with fellow "jurors" seated around you. As the trial progressed, QR codes were displayed on screen, allowing audience members to participate in live polls through Mentimeter and compare their responses with the rest of the room. This interactive element really made you feel like an active participant rather than simply an audience member watching a performance. The Royal Theatre was also a great venue for the event. Its central location means there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby if you'd like to grab a drink or bite to eat before or after the show. Overall, a fun, interactive, and thought-provoking experience that's well worth checking out if you're looking for something beyond the usual night out.

For which I had legally obtained rights to entry by virtue of purchasing a ticket to attend (attached). I had gained entrance to the event and was inside the show and was waiting for the show to start with a friend and his wife. We decided to step outside for a cigarette and some fresh air, but got separated as we left. When I reached the exit my friend has already exited the premises. I witnessed some commotion at the gate as I exited and thought better than to risk being caught in the rush and thought to reagin entry back the way I had come out. I decided to speak with the man at the door who seemed to be a manager of the opeartion. This man was a white male about 5'10" tall. He was wearing baseball hat and a grey shirt (I learned later from other staff that he was the general manager of security). As I asked this person the question of how to get back inside, he said that I must leave and gestured for me to exit (I request access to the video tapes that corroborate this as evidence). I said that I would prefer to just go back the way I had come out as that was the reason I had come to speak with him in the first place. At this point he inexplicably lost his temper in a manner that bordered on abusive and violently pushed me to exit. I stood my ground and demanded rentry by the same door by which I had exited. he refused and pushed me physically to deny entry. At this point he said the words, "I'm not letting you in, you're done." And signaled to security to escort me out. As they came and also physically acosted me without any cause, I demanded that I be allowed to speak with the person that was demanding my exit. I managed to get the opportunity to address the man who had asked to have me removed, and explained to him that I was simply asking to return back to the event for which he had witnessed me exit without being denied entry. He signaled at this point to the security gentlemen to physically remove me. At this point absolutely devastated by the manner in which I was being treated I looked back at the man, directly in his eyes and yelled, "why are you doing this etc." I am appalled and shocked at this treatment and intend to press charges on the management of the event. As stated at the onset this is my immediate testimony that I am recording so that it may be part of the record. I request that a representative of the venue reach out to me to provide their side of events and discuss how evidence will be shared. I will add that as I sat outside and wrote this testimony several members of the staff offered their regrets on how I was treated and offered me water to drink. To this I am deeply grateful.
