SilverCity St Vital Cinemas - Games galore

SilverCity St Vital Cinemas

Pretty good cinema in the city, located at the St. Vital Centre…read more Amenities are standard, but this SilverCity has UltraAVX, full recliners, and D-BOX technology. All create a movie watching experience here that I believe is one of the best in the city. I recently watched F1: The Movie with UltraAVX, and it was a really good experience. I can see the increased sound quality and picture quality compared to the standard movie watching experience. Definitely a movie theatre that I'd recommend if you're in the south end.

When the larger SilverCity-type theatres came to Winnipeg, I frequented the one at CF Polo Park…read more(it's now called Scotiabank Theatre) and this one often. They are both similar. They are attached to a mall. You have options to grab a bite to each before or after taking in a movie. You aren't limited to eating at the mall if nothing interests you, as there are eateries around both malls. Both theatres have plenty of parking. I was at St Vital Centre to meet up with a couple of friends. I had shopped for a bit after we parted ways and saw that Despicable Me 4 was playing at this SilverCity. I said yes to seeing it here. I was last at St Vital Centre in 2016. I last saw a movie at this SilverCity within the mall in 2011. Wow! The theatre is located next to Indigo. Both businesses have separate entrances from the mall. This SilverCity has ten theatres. There's lots of seating in each theatre, with plenty of legroom, which is important to me. The seats also recline. It's a nice feature. This theatre has an Xscape entertainment centre. It's essentially one large arcade with a ton of games. Seeing Doodle Jump was awesome! I played that game religiously when I had an iPhone. I downloaded this game on my Google Pixel phone after seeing this game here. I bought my ticket through the app. I wasn't hungry, but I did want to get a drink. I hit the concession stand to get a small Diet Coke. This SilverCity doesn't have fancy pop machines to fill your own cup with pop. I did get friendly customer service from a cheerful woman. I got my Scene card scanned to earn points. I headed to theatre 10. I grabbed a pair of 3D glasses. They were comfortable to wearing during this entire flick. I loved this movie. I love the Minions. It was enjoyable for the kids that were present and the adults. There weren't any meltdowns by any humans. Yay! I used the washroom afterwards. It was clean and in decent shape. It was nice breaking my more-than-a-decade streak by finally seeing a movie here. I had a great time. It's still a cool place to see a movie. (314)

Tip: Collect Scene+ points whenever you pay for movie tickets, both online and at the theatre, or…read moresnacks at the concession stands. I remember when this movie theatre first opened. It was a SilverCity Famous Players at Polo Park. I loved coming here because it was a standalone movie theatre on Polo Park property, across from The Bay (rest in department store peace), with shaded parking and huge movie screens. The shaded parking was key. It kept you cooler walking between the two buildings when it was hot outside. It helped keep you less frozen and damp during the wintertime. I returned last week to see the latest Mission Impossible flick. I've watched every single one in the series, so why break this streak now? This movie was playing at Scotiabank Theatre only. It was perfect to relive memories here. It's got 3D IMAX and D-BOX seating. You can also go cheaper with a regular seat, which is equally as good with comfy seating and lots of legroom. A Tuesday matinee is the best bang for your buck if you can do it. I paid for my ticket through the Cineplex app. It was easy to present my QR code when I got to the theatre. I had already eaten a breakfast sandwich before walking through the doors. I needed a drink and hit the concession stand. I got the nicest woman behind the counter. She was super nice and friendly. I got a regular Diet Coke. I got my Scene+ barcode scanned and used an e-gift card to pay for it. She also gave me a balance printout. Nice! The drink was cold and hit the spot. It was great. I liked being back here. The downside was the kid behind me kicking the back of my seat. I looked back a few times. The parents did nothing. Luckily, it was intermittent, but still annoying. The length of the movie was almost three hours. My bladder and I were so close sitting through the whole movie. It nudged me to use the women's washroom, which wasn't far away from the theatre that I was in. I left with half an hour to spare. The women's washroom was clean. No complaints. I returned to my row, but sat away from the kicking boy. It was so much better. I should have shifted over. I enjoyed the flick. I left at the right time to use the washroom. I didn't miss much. I'm so glad that I caught a couple of movies while I was in town. It was nice to return here. It hasn't changed, other than branding. (281)

I don't think the theatre experience is dead. But when it's this pricey for a couple movie tickets,…read morea drink, and a bag of popcorn, and they're packing in as many ads during the pre-show experience as humanly possible, you have to wonder why you didn't just stay home and watch a movie from the comfort of your own couch. The only reason I'm willing to give two stars is the fact that I don't own a butter dispenser, and they do.
