I love Landmark Kanata! The seats are so comfortable and clean, I feel at home! Plus it is never crowded, has an arcade and I repeat : it.. is spotless! They always have a deals going on on Wednesdays called the Wednesday twosome: two movie tickets, two medium fountain drinks, a large popcorn and a bag of candy of your choice for 36.99$ plus tax. We took full advantage of that deal last night and it reminded me of how much fun the movies can be. I always have a wonderful experience each time I come here. This is my favorite place to watch movies! read more

Landmark Cinemas Kanata - Cinema Near Me - Kanata, Ontario

Comfortable seats and friendly service. The prices are insane, but that's true everywhere.

What the heck is Landmark trying to do? Alienate all their customers? First it was charging you to book your seats online! Now morning prices have changed to movies that start from 9:00 - 10:59 instead of anything before noon!!##@$. I for one am done with everyone gouging at every opportunity. Landmark has lost a customer for life. Assholes read more

I've seen movies here, pre-COVID. I really like the venue. However, this is more of a take-out review. I ordered popcorn several times from this location, so that my family and I can enjoy movie theatre popcorn while watching a movie at home. The staff pack the popcorn in two movie theatre popcorn bags (one is upside down to cover the bag that the popcorn is in, so it doesn't spill out). The popcorn is fresh and really savoury. The two times that I have ordered popcorn, the staff always write a message of thanks on the take-out paper bag, which is cute. read more

I am there every week for a movie , one of my favorite hobbies! And did I mention the area outside? Wow.

I don't care much to go to the theatre. I'm more of a stay in person but if I go to a theatre this is the one I go to. Great selection, great snacks and drinks and I love the seats. read more

I recently checked out an Imax 3D movie here after going to other theatres since I moved out of Kanata. It seems as though they've undergone numerous upgrades, and I just say- I'm a fan! The concession area is a bit odd- you basically go and pick out whatever you want (but the selection is much better than most theatres in town) and then you line up and pay after the fact. The seats were so comfortable. They recline nicely and are wider and more supportive than the average theatre chair. I just wish this were closer to home, it would definitely become my theatre of choice. read more

I recently saw a movie at Landmark Cinemas and had an awesome experience! I hadn't been to this theatre since it was the AMC and I was impressed. I thought the self serve popcorn area was great and don't forget to ask cashier to add some extra butter on top when you pay! They also offer beer and wine for purchase that you can bring into the theatre with you. Finally, the recliner chairs in the theatre are awesome! Super comfortable and spacious! Loved the concept. My only complaint is that the sound volume in the theatre I was in was not loud enough. I couldn't even tell whether or not there was surround sound. For $12.99, I would definitely take a drive out to Kanata for another movie! read more

Good theatre Always has more than one movie to enjoy Concession stand is well managed with friendly, helpful people. Theatres are various sizes Larger ones for most popular Seats are quite comfortable read more

UPDATE July 2018: I love love LOVE the recliner seats! Same great service, lots of great theatres, and now they are doing renovations to the entrance of the movie house. I will update this review once again, after the renos are complete. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Good gosh! UPDATE OCTOBER 31, 2013... ALREADY! Now Empire Theatres is also pulling out of Ontario and Western Canada... and Landmark Cinemas is taking over October 31st! Apparently they are big in the west coast of Canada. I am also taking this time to upgrade my ratings. I've only been there a few times since Empire took over from AMC, but it has been a relatively good experience since then. Aside from the magazines, of course. On the upside, I did win movie passes from them. Let's see how Landmark does. read more

Their online purchasing system is (in my opinion) purposefully annoying and complicated. Attempting to use a pre-paid "movie night out" voucher and instead of applying x2 $10.00 general admissions vouchers in order to lower the total cost of my x2 3D Imax tickets, it simply ADDS one $10.00 ticket, increasing my ticket purchase by $10.00 and increasing my ticket total to 3 tickets instead of 2. I simply won't work... I'm unable to call them as their phone system does now allow me to speak to an actual person; there is zero way for me to rectify this problem other than do the 45 minutes drive to the theater. Seems to me like I'm no longer going to the movies... read more

Ok theatres but way overpriced!!! Minus the IMAX there really isn't a ton of things about the theatre itself that is nicer than the Famous Player ones. I hope they put the same seating that the UltraAVX theatre has across all theatres in the future. The AMC is run much smoother than the Famous Players theatres though as we've never had any issues with the staff or lineups. read more

Love the upgrade to the theatre. Having seats that recline and the option to make two seats essentially become a love seat by lifting the arm rest is great. The cost of a movie ticket is more understandable since the seat upgrades. The only thing that keeps me from being a regular movie goer would be the concession stand prices. The cost of a snack combo is almost the same price if not more than the cost of seeing the movie itself. I also noticed that between the seats cleaning is missed as I had orange peelings and a shot glass stuck between my two seats. But all in all a great way to enjoy time out of the house but still getting the feel of being in the comfort of your livingroom. read more

See all

Nothing really spectacular about this movie theater except for its location - there are TONS of restaurant options, all within walking distance of the theater. Shopping, too. Tuesdays, ticket prices are down to $8... cool, but the movies are all super-packed, so you need to make sure to get there early, especially if you want to sit next to your friends. Parking can be ridiculous on weekends and Tuesdays (see above paragraph). My recommendation: patronize one of the nearby restaurants for their excellent "dinner-and-a-movie" deals (O'Connor's, Boston Pizza, Jack Astor's and more?). Usually around $20 gets you anything off the menu plus a movie ticket. Can't beat that! read more

After coming to this place as the AMC for years, I kind of avoided it when they switched over the Empire. I didn't hear great things about the chain, and plus I'm down the street from the Coliseum, so I never had much of a reason to come by. However, one of the best things about this place is the show times, which is what led me to making the trek to Kanata on cheap night. The Coliseum was only playing our movie at 7 and 10, and we weren't going to be able to make those times. The Empire was playing at 8 - perfect! The theatre is pretty much exactly the same, minus the rebranding. Big, massive front lobby (kind of a weird waste of space), and semi-smallish snack bar. The theaters themselves are nice - no luxurious fold up armrests, or anything, but nice. They don't really have anywhere to sit and eat like the Coliseum and not as many food options, but it's not bad. They do have some super yummy pretzels! I find this theatre is kind of a good in between - it's not a massive one like Silvercity, but not as small as the Rainbows. I wouldn't drive out of my way to get here, but it's a decent place and has great movie times, so every so often it's a good choice :) read more

My theatre of choice and not because of the fact it's so close. I've never had a bad experience here. Sure they've changed hands, same old except popcorn seasoning is now 50 cents a packet where as before they used to be laid out for you to use. That's all I've noticed different. Save money by buying combo at Costco ($22 includes 2 adult general admission, and 2 large popcorns and soft drinks). Great value and savings. They also have that deal for kids. Costco combo also can be used for 3D movies. I've always found the theatre clean and the staff helpful. Parking is ample and if you want a dinner and a movie type night, there are a lot of restaurants nearby. read more

Its an AMC theater plain and simple just the way I like it. Okay so I'm a fan of this Kanata location because its a 2 minute drive from my work. Every time I've gone, I have received good service and a clean theater with plenty of seats. Of course you have to be smart and not arrive 10 minutes before a block buster opening. On the weekends the place is absolutely packed! My advice is to watch the movie on a weekday around 4:30PM, so you don't have to get into a fight (metaphorical or otherwise) with the other 100s of people trying to get into the 5 or 6PM show read more

I could walk over to the Cineplex Coliseum but after going to Landmark in Kanata - who and what is a Cineplex???? I like their staff, their services, the seats, everything! What I think is awesome and super important is that they take your tickets at the door and not somewhere inside where you have to constantly show your ticket if you go before or in between movies to get snacks or drinks. I only have 2 hands and they're usually full with snacks and drinks and what I hate the most is that you have to stand in line again to get in.... No thank you Cineplex!!! Landmark, me likes you ;) They don't have a rewards program but they give out coupons for movies and snacks! Just as good! read more

I really like this theater. Great staff, well organized space, and lots of bathrooms (well done planners)! The theater seats are comfy, and the concessions (while always pricey at theaters) are quite tasty. The drinks dispenser is a big hit among friends as they offer all sorts of varieties of coke that can't even be found to purchase anywhere else in Ottawa: cherry coke, vanilla coke - lots of choices. If ever I get to choose where to watch a movie, I choose this theater. It's clean, a fairly easy drive, and a comfy place to catch the latest on the silver screen. read more

Went and saw Star Wars here a couple of weekends ago when my wife was out of town, she didn't want to see it so I took my opportunity! hehe I like this theater, didn't have much time to look around, I was in and out pretty fast but it worked. I used the express kioks, which let you pick your own seat, and found the theater easily is no time. Layout did seem logical with the concession and washrooms centrally located between two wings. The theater I was in was smaller but I liked it. I don't mind a smaller crowd. The chairs were comfortable and the sound was clear but not deafening. Picture quality was good, didn't notice any distortion or hair or dust spots in the projector. Its located in Kanata Centrum Shopping Center, easy location to drive to just off the 417 Queens Way. Parking surrounds the building, with the main entrance on the north wall, opposite the parking. I followed the crowd to find the front door. Lots of establishments to eat at around the theater. Its like a mini entertainment district in the "burbs" so you easily make it a dinner and a movie outing. Nice mid sized theater. Probably will go back there to see Beauty and the Beast, this is her pick. read more

I'll be honest, for whatever reason I'm not an AMC fan. I don't know what experience led me to this conclusion, if it was some bad day that a customer rep spurned me, or some pricing malfunction, or a bizarre popcorn mishap, but for whatever reason, I'm not a fan of this movie distribution franchise. So, necessity being the mother of "Invention" and its younger, more neglected sibling "Desperation", I've taken to going see movies there when I'm in Kanata. It appears my war with the AMC is over. It's a decent place to see a movie. The prices are not out of line, the popcorn is, well, it's popcorn. You can only screw it up if you burn it. They didn't. One snack bar feature that I've not seen elsewhere is that they allow you to add your own butter, which is fantastic for me since I don't want any, and also fantastic for the guy behind me who brought in surrogate cups for extra dipping during the feature. It's clean. It can cater to kids. The seats, sound, and screen are okay. I guess what I'm saying is that a theatre associated with a network that gives us "Mad Men" can't be all bad. read more

Love love love the new Atom app available for landmark. I have Scene points and live closer to Cineplex, but come here instead. Pre-purchase tickets and concessions choose seats, scan the barcode at the door. If you Pre-purchased concessions you don't have to wait in line, go straight through to a special kiosk. When you get close to Landmark it will ask you if they should start preparing your snacks. Hit and miss on the cleanliness of the theatres, mostly on busy nights you can expect the sticky floor and missed items during clean up. Management team very engaged and involved, you can easily find someone if you need to address a concern. New pop fountains are amazing, so many flavor combinations I get a pop each time I see a movie just to try a new flavor. read more

Honestly a let down, after all the hype of landmark orleans thought this one would be lit but it's not. I was so pumped to watch shang-chi but when me and my family got there they informed us that popcorn was cash only without any notice even during COVID honestly this triggers my depression for the third time this day I broke down into to tears no pop corn what a crime. read more

Nice cinema. I think it used to be an AMC theater way back when I used to live in the area years ago. I think the seats are pretty awesome and recline. Very, very comfortable!! It's an awesome experience to be able to lie down while watching a movie. read more

Going to the movies is one of my favourite things to do! Popcorn, junk food, staying out late...makes you feel like a kid again! We went to see Iron Man 3 (which is excellent btw). The show at 8 was alllllmost sold out (3 seats left) so we went back at 10 for the late show. I'm glad we did, it wasn't as busy, and there were no kids! The bathrooms were a little dirty, but they had someone take care of that pretty quick... I'll always go back to the movies! read more

At the theatre to check out Ex Machina in theatre 3. The seats in this theatre are OK for standard theatre seating. The theatre is a bit on the small side and the screen is really undersized. Ticket price isn't terrible, 12.25, at least it's better since switching to Landmark. The concessions are fairly expensive, but par for the course for a theatre. I find their popcorn not as good as cineplex. One thing they have going for them is they installed these new self serve coke fountain machines. It looks like these machines give you a wide variety of options, must be everything in the coke line. Even rarer things like Mr. Pib, as well as the cherry or vanilla options. I don't really like this theatre and usually only come when I'm killing time in the area. I'd much rather make the drive to the cineplex on carling, silver city or the new VIP at landsdowne. read more

This place has now changed to Landmark Theaters. It has quite a few theaters and seems to be cheaper than Cineplex. It also has special pricing for matinees and Sunday mornings. The concession is quite expensive though like any theatre, and they don't have AVX or Imax. read more

I went to see The Greatest Showman yesterday at 3:40 pm. I like the layout of the cinema, there's a lot of theatres. Except they were incredibly under staffed and I had to wait 10 minutes in line and the woman who told me where to go sent me in the wrong direction. Nice cinema but there could be better service. read more

My wife and I used to only come to this theatre when it was AMC Kanata, partly because it has the best chairs in the city, and also because of the number of theatres it had to offer. We'd avoided this place since the change because we'd heard things weren't the same as before. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to find how little had changed at this theatre, same chairs, same friendly staff and the same over all experience. read more

This is our theatre. Close to home and I don't find the need to go afar for a better experience. Comfortable seats and now that it's an Empire theatre the only up side I see so far is they offer real butter on the popcorn (for an extra 79 cents btw), and a higher ticket price as I was an AMC points card holder and probably saved hundreds of dollars over the years. read more

After unpleasant experiences at other cinemas in Ottawa I decided to try out Landmark in Kanata. I've been a few times to see both regular movies and iMax and really have enjoyed the experience. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and the theatres are clean (I haven't experienced the sticky floor syndrome a lot of other cinemas suffer from). The location is a big plus; in the same complex are a variety of restaurants and stores which gave me something to do both before and after my movie. read more

The theater itself and snack bar are OK - nothing more special than any other these days. Cinplex Colosseum gives you flavoured powder and has self-serve topping as well - personally I liked it when the server would do it, so they could "layer" the topping. Anyway, my beef with AMC is the cost. Yeah, the price of snacks are insane... but why is admission so much higher at AMC than, say, Ciniplex? Also, why did they do away with the movie rewards program? Now I have to pay for my reward card? I thought I was doing you a favour by patronizing your establishment? Anyways, I'll stick with Ciniplex. I can use Airmiles for movies and snacks and their reward program is free (for now). Don't get me started on the scam that is 3D... read more

Average theatre(although a bot better now that Empire Theaters bought it) with over-priced movies and over-priced popcorn and drinks. Although they recently changed to Empire Theaters, the prices are about $11.00 at par with The Coliseum. But i much prefer the Coliseum because the sound is so much better, the voice is mostly all treble, the seats are not as comfortable as The Coliseum and the screens are not as crisp either read more

The theater is clean and well kept. Prices are on par with other theaters in Canada and the US for tickets and concessions. We were in Theater #7 which seemed just a bit small with a tinge of an echo and the screen could've been a bit bigger for a standard theater. (I'm an A/V engineer so this is something I notice right away). The seating wasn't great but it's wasn't horrible either. I'd say a 6/10 on the comfort scale. I only found myself getting up once. The large popcorn is refillable just by taking the bag back to the concession stand and drinks are self-serve with over 100 combinations to chose from. read more

This rating is for the new EMPIRE theatre that took over AMC. I would give 4 stars if it was still AMC theatres. As they got sold to Empire theatres, everything went down hill, everything went to s***. They got rid of the loyalty program, the ticket prices went up, staff are rude, and overall it seems like they are very very stingy. I'm really upset that this AMC didn't get taken over by Cineplex, instead it got taken over by Empire (BOO!) It's only 5 minute drive away from my house to this theater. However, because of the horrible experiences I've had (and I have given it many tries since it is really close to my house) I will never return, and I choose to drive 20 minutes to Cineplex (Coliseum Ottawa) in Bayshore. I loved the old AMC... I hate hate hate this Empire theatre. YUCK! read more

I was disappointed when this theatre was sold to Empire. I really liked AMC and considered the chain to be more "up style". The only differences I see now, are that the prices of tickets have increased, the popcorn is better, although there is a charge now, for the optional flavoured toppings. Parking at this complex is horrible, but that's because of the greedy mall management, who keep building more stores in what used to be the parking area at the south end of the theatre. This makes it harder for people with disabilities to get a space close to the theatre. Not enough handicapped spaces, anyway. The concession prices are outrageous, and the fountain drinks are watery. Typical movie theatre fare. I like going to the "sneaks" at 10:00 pm on Thursday nights. No parking hassles. Worth the extra money. I don't have to fight the weekend crowds to see the latest release. On Tuesdays, the "deal" day, the parking situation is often impossible, especially at night. The theatres usually, are the cleanest in the city, as are the washrooms. Cineplex on Carling Avenue, is older, dirtier, and cheaper. I guess you get what you pay for in the entertainment industry, as in life in general. read more

landmark cinemas, where i can sneak in 4 McDonalds burgers, 2 bags of Maynard's candy, 8 full size chocolate bars, and a bag of Reeses pieces, but still complain because i had to pay 6$ for a fountain drink...also in an attempt to make myself feel the drink was worth while, ill be forced to combine the most ridiculous flavors imaginable, (lemon coke and raspberry fanta is better than you would think). then ill completely ignore the assigned seating on my ticket and go sit wherever the hell i want in the theater i share with 6 other individuals who cared enough not to stream the movie for free at home. not only does this mean semi-private theater, it also means i can raise up 4 armrests and literally freaking sprawl out while watching a movie in public with little fear of total and complete embarrassment...while i eat my Mcfeast, and sip on strangely flavored soda. Jumanji will definitely go down as one of my most enjoyable movie theater experiences ever. Thanks landmark! read more
