    I have been here many times in the past and I think the very last time I as here was back before my Yelper days. Recently, I came here to watch the movie Rich Crazy Asians. The theater is huge with lots of parking. There are many theater room here. Popcorn here was ok. No different compared to the other SilverCity. Theater seats are not wow. Its the same compared to the other SilverCity. They got smart and made a lot of the movies here either 3D or AVX so it would cost an extra $3. I used to come to this theater quite often.

    Was very excited to see the promotional glow in the dark cups/toppers/popcorn tins for the new Spider-Man: No Way Home movie was going to be sold in cinemas upon movie release. Sadly, due to heavy rainfall causing flooding in metro Vancouver, all cineplex locations did not get their allocated shipments. I visited and phoned many locations looking for them and it was the same response of didn't get any. Only one person, a general manager by the name of Kevin Isaac at the SilverCity Riverport location took my name and email down and said that he would let me know as soon as they come in. Wasn't looking to good as this was late January and the movie came out mid December already. Sure enough, I get an email first week of February from Kevin informing me that they just came in. I make my way over to the cinema and he recognizes me and greets me as soon as I get there. Kevin is very friendly, professional and very approachable. He went above and beyond in making sure when they did receive their shipment that I would be immediately informed. Kevin is a great choice for a GM, and I would like him to get the recognition he deserves for his outstanding customer service. Thank you again Kevin.

    Being the movie buff that I am, I've been to most of the movie theatres in the Lower Mainland. I find myself at this SilverCity location more than any other, because I'm often in Richmond eating or shopping. There is usually a long line-up at the box office here on weekends & evenings, so I always get my tix online beforehand. There are separate machines that will print out your pre-purchased tix without you having to wait in a long line. The concession choices here are pretty limited (standard popcorn, pop, candy, fast food burgers / hotdogs / poutine, limited Starbucks menu), but it's alright since we usually get just the popcorn combos. The fancy pop dispensing machines are pretty nifty & allow you to choose from a wide range of flavours of pop. The theatres are alright - I've seen movies with regular, 3D, DBOX, UltraAVX, IMAX. You pretty much get what you pay for, for each type of experience - better visuals & sound quality, or moving seats, etc. Cleanliness is quite variable.. Sometimes you still see leftover trash from the previous crowd, if the cleaning crew didn't do a good job of cleaning it all up. I only wish this location offered the VIP experience so we wouldn't have to drive all the way out to Coquitlam for that.

    The seating, Imax screen, and sound were excellent. The 3D was great, and the provided 3D glasses were nice. I'm an American who was in Vancouver for vacation, so I was surprised to see that this movie theater (or perhaps all Canadian theaters?) does not have any salt for the popcorn. When I couldn't find salt anywhere, I asked the concessions stand attendant and got, "salt for what?" as a response. So, I explained this Americanism of putting salt and butter on popcorn, but she said they don't keep any salt in the theater anywhere. Also, I was charged $1 extra for buttered popcorn, yet there were free butter dispensers near the napkins. The Coke Freestyle soda machines were plentiful, but they were out of over half of the drink options.

    D-Box seats

    Went to SilverCity Riverport to watch the latest Star Wars film in 3D with the upgraded D-Box seating. An interesting experience as the seat vibrates and moves around to simulate the motion on the screen. I think we picked a good movie to experience D-Box for the first time. The Good: Extra leg room, your own two arm rests, the seat sits higher, the row of seats reserved for D-Box are prime seats, plenty of free surface parking (not a fan of underground) and a convenient location just off hwy 99. The Bad: The mens washrooms are in need of more regular maintenance...not a pleasant experience. We do enjoy watching movies on the big screen and SilverCity Riverport is our theatre of choice and I would recommend it.

    IMAX 3D for Captain America - Civil War. Captain America was a good film to exploit the benefits that IMAX and 3D provide. The visuals popped and were grand on the big screen. The audio system was also amazingly crisp and clear, delivering bowel-emptying base and ear-drum splitting treble. The only thing that ruined the experience were the 3D glasses I was issued. I must've gotten a recycled pair as they were covered in buttery fingerprints that no amount of rubbing could remove. Additionally, the glasses rested on my face in such a way that caused them to perpetually fog up. Between the fog and fingerprints, it was difficult to watch the movie clearly. And, the cost of 3D IMAX is $19, which is probably what the Blu-ray will cost when it comes out. That is too much coin.

    Fancy and fun but they enforce no refills.

    I live downtown and only drive to Richmond for the best Chinese food & to enjoy big blockbusters on IMAX. I have a slight preference for D-Box seats at Scotiabank, but there are times where it wasn't worth the $24 to watch it in D-Box. I've never been disappointed with a movie in IMAX (well, maybe Crimson Peak). It's also a great option to watch popular foreign films if you're tired of what Hollywood & Netflix is offering.

    3 tips for people: a) Your Scene points are redeemable for any type of movie (1000 points), including 3D and IMAX. Save your points redemptions for these special ones, and use the blue coupons or cash for the regular type. Otherwise you have to pay a $3 premium for 3D, or $5 for IMAX, even if you're using a blue coupon. b) The Cineplex app (if you have a smartphone) can store your Scene card number and barcode, which then can be scanned by the booth people right off your screen. One less card cluttering your wallet/purse after you enter your card info. c) the IMAX front section (in front of the aisle where you walk in) seriously sucks. I had to crank my head and could barely see the entire screen inside my field of view. Go early, and sit in the back. I learned today that the IMAX theatre is physically shorter (ie fewer rows) than the regular cinemas.

The food stalls were great! So many options and the prices were reasonable. The shopping stalls left a lot to be desired though. It was mostly knockoff anime merch and phone goods which I guess truly gave off the Asian night market vibe. My favorite thing I ate was surprisingly not Asian food, it was a dinosaur beef rib from a halal bbq spot. I'm from Texas so my bbq standards are pretty high, but this was just as good as back home! The rib was super tender and perfectly seasoned with a good amount of smoke. The fat wasn't chewy and melted in your mouth. My only wish is that it came with more pickles or raw onions. Mostly everything else I ate here was really good too. I loved the crispy nori tacos with fresh poke. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken and sausages were super close to what you would find in Taiwan. The whole place and a bunch of the food was also picturesque. The only thing I truly did not like was the ramen donut. For some reason, a bunch of websites say the ramen donut is a must try, but it was the only thing I couldn't eat. The donut was super dense and flavorless, the breading was too thick, the sauce added too much heaviness, it was bad.

    There is an admission fee for adults at $7 per person. Children under 7 and seniors older than 65…read moredo not have to pay the admissions fee. Parking is complimentary. We arrived slightly before 7 pm and the parking lot had plenty of spots. However, there was a line to enter. We were in line for approximately 20 minutes. A lot of the vendors only accept cash. We are from Chicago so we tried to pay with credit card and were mostly successful. We tried several items such as popcorn chicken, fried mushrooms, Taiwanese garlic sausage, eggplant bao, lamb bao, beef skewers, lamb skewers, grilled oysters, and takoyaki. There is an approximate 5-10 minute wait for each stand to prepare the food. So I would say one should expect to spend at least 1.5 hours to seek out the food, order, and eat. There are plenty of benches with seating, public bathrooms, and ATM.

    Lumière is an annual art event that's been going on since 2016, although this is the first year I…read morehad heard of it. It consists of several interactive light up art installations, as well as various performances, and it's all absolutely free! This year Lumière runs from November 1 to 3, from 5pm to 10pm at four different locations -- šxnq Xwtl'e7én Square behind the Vancouver Art Gallery, the Jim Deva Plaza on Davie Street, Morton Park at English Bay, and Lot 19 on Hornby Street (near the Salvador Dali Space Venus sculpture). There is also a free shuttle to take people between the locations which depart approximately every 15 minutes. I went with Nancy H. last night, and had a great (and inexpensive!) time. We took advantage of the free shuttle, which were trolleys from the Vancouver Trolley Company, and it took us just under two hours to make the rounds. We started off at the art gallery, where we saw the following installations: -Steely T: a large light-up, flame spewing turtle that people could enter or climb up top -Daisy: a large solar powered tricycle (unfortunately we didn't see it in action) -Alternity: a branching sculpture that lit up in different patterns when people interacted with it (it was one of my favourite pieces, probably because it reminded me of an organic molecule) -Sandscapes: sand, which people could sculpt, with different colored lights shining on to it in different patterns, evoking images of alien lands -Segmentium: a large orb with a diameter of 7 feet and 24 segments that lit up -Orchidelirium: giant orchids In additions to the above art pieces, at šxnq Xwtl'e7én Square, there was also a small exhibit, Neon at the Post, about neon signs in Vancouver. I immediately recognize the large, neon R from the Ridge movie theater. The next stop was at Jim Deva Plaza where we saw: -Tetra Velo: a large pyramid that people could walk through -Chromatic Shadows: a screen on which people's shadows were projected -Visitor: a blob-shaped structure that lit up in different colors and patterns, depending on how people interacted and controlled it -Woven: large, inflatable, illuminated arches that people could pass through on to their way to the beer garden (which also provided free water) Our third stop was English Bay. When we arrived, there was a fire show happening, although it was difficult to see, with the large crowd. The exhibits were: -Brood: an interesting metal spider, whose body served as a heat lamp -Stanley: a Great Blue Heron made up of 10,320 lights -Davie: a 24 foot tall grizzly bear -Luna: an orca made of over 6000 lights -Eugenia: a tree with lights that change color (my favourite exhibit at Lumière). It's not an exhibit of just any tree, but the oak tree that was atop of the Eugenia Place condo on Beach Avenue, that was installed in 1987 and died in 2017. *Note: Stanley, Luna, and Eugenia will remain on display until February 2020. The fourth, and last stop, was at Lot 19. There, we saw: -Telefunkin' Shadow Stage: another exhibit that involves displaying people's silhouettes on a screen -The Beating Heart: a nine-foot-high fiberglass human heart sculpture that was originally displayed at Burning Man. It beats to the rhythm of a person who places their hand on a sensor. (Note: the sensor is clearly not designed for people who don't have large man hands!) -Key to My Heart: two giant antique keys and a lock that also has a sensor to detect people's heartbeat. -Lux Memoriae: cool, geometric lanterns -Chrysafly: a large butterfly, although it was still being assembled when we were there. It was a fun night, and if you have a chance to check it out today or tomorrow, go! Lumière will be on my calendar next year.

    Lumière is an annual event of various art installations held in early November each year. Last…read morenight (Nov. 1) was opening night, and I went with Jasmine (a fellow Yelpie!), and we had a terrific time. It seems this event gets bigger and better with each passing year, and because there's been more advance promoting and advertising for this "light festival", and because the weather last night was stellar (clear and warm, considering it's November), there were fairly large crowds in attendance. And you definitely cannot beat the price. It's free! This year Lumière was held in four separate locations: two in the West End (Morton Square, at Davie and Denman, and Jim Deva Plaza, at Davie and Bute), and two downtown (the Van Art Gallery square on Georgia, and Lot 19 at the northern end of Hornby at Coal Harbor). There were free shuttles driving us attendees to each of the various sites. The buses left every 10-15 minutes, and the "tour guides" on the bus briefly described the highlighted works at the next location. There were 5-10 light-art installations at each site, and most were interactive in some way. Some, you could climb on. Some projected your image on screens in various ways. Some detected your pulse when you placed your hand on sensors and they flashed lights in various configurations. All were very photogenic and led most attendees to take selfies, and pictures of their kids or partners or dogs among the illuminated, colored backdrops. (Note: this is a very family-friendly event). As my kids would comment: this was an Instagram-friendly photoshoot-friendly kind of event. Some locales had performers who worked with lights and/or fire in some way. The fire performers at Davie and Denman had such a large audience circling them, it was hard for me to see the action (but I was glad that there was such a great turn-out for the event, so I happily checked out the other illuminated works at this site). There were neon-lit walkers on stilts at Jim Deva Plaza, too. At the Butte and Davie site, there was a makeshift tent set up for folks 19+, with a beer garden inside, bistro tables and chairs and a dj playing disco music, with disco lights and a floor for dancing! Cool! Seriously, it's hard to believe that this type of expansive exhibition, encompassing four separate sites in the city, is totally free of charge. I really recommend checking it out.
