We purchased tickets ahead of time online to select the perfect seats and check in was a breeze. After entering our vehicle license plate on the kiosk inside the lobby we were told we'd be receiving four hours of complimentary parking instead of the regular 3 because our movie "Odyssey" runs for almost three hours. Bonus! After walking down the well lit corridor thanks to the floor to ceiling windows, you arrive at the bar/dining area. This 75 seat and table bar /dining area. It is nice to have a meeting spot prior to or after seeing a film. Locating your theatre is simple as walking down the next hall. All five auditoriums are in a row. I believe this is the second adult only Cineplex VIP exclusive theatre venue in Canada. ( The other being Park Royal.) RealD 3D is featured and adds extra depth and realism to compatible films. Their full recliner is the feature that my husband was most thankful for. The headrest has a separate adjustment to obtain the perfect movie watching position. In seat, food and drink is the sole way to purchased food here. Popcorn and sodas included! My only minor disappointment involved the popcorn toppings. I usually drench mine in the canola-flavored oil because I'm lactose intolerant--and, honestly, I just prefer the taste. Only butter topping is available at this location so I had to defer and pop a Lactaid pill. It was pretty tasty! The super clean, modern bathrooms were an unexpected bonus and should get recognition as well! It was a solid five star experience.

The steps for ordering movie tickets on Landmark Cinema's website was very easy. Best part is, unlike Cineplex, they don't charge a booking fee for ordering tickets online. We decided to watch 2 movies in a row that day. About 4.5 hours total of sitting in a theater in a day. The location is great for transit users as it takes only one minute, maybe less to walk from the skytrain station platform to the front entrance of the movie theater. They check tickets right at the entrance doors so make sure to have your tickets ready before you enter if you bought them ahead of time. They have 2 leather couches in the lobby and 2 more in the left lobby if you want to hang out before the movie starts. Unlike Cineplex, the movie name or movie poster at each door is not displayed so you gotta pay attention to the number on the cinema door. Inside, I really like how every chair has a recliner feature and is very spacious in front. Tons of legroom. I was able to get in and out of the theater easily without pushing people's legs out of the way as I moved through the row to the exit. The chairs are extremely comfortable and made of fake leather and even have extra padding as a headrest, you could technically sleep in it. This is in regular seating, not a VIP only feature like Cineplex. The movie sound speaker systems of the cinemas was alright at best. One tip I can give is that if you want the best sound, you gotta sit in the center row and center seats for the best experience. I sat at the very back row center seats and the movie sound felt like the speakers were on the other side of the room. On the downsides, In my second movie viewing, my seat was very worn down and the fake leather has been mostly peeled off. It was still comfortable though. You'd be disappointed if you are a gamer that wants to kill time before a movie or just wants to hang around. They have no video game arcade machines and just a couple claw and prize machine games for entertainment. Metrotown and Marine Drive Cineplexes have at least 4 or 5 video game arcade machines and lots of prize games. The men's washrooms were a little dirty and the paper towels dispensers were all empty. I saw a person trying to pull out the last paper towel from the dispenser but ultimately gave up. Too bad, maybe next time. The movie screen was a little bit dirty so I could see some dust on the screen but it was still tolerable as it didn't worsen my viewing experience too much. Overall, landmark theater's best things are the recliner seats and the massive spacious legroom. It immensely improved my viewing experience as I was comfortable the entire time and being able to sit back is really nice. Love the headrest. The comfy leather padding is like sitting on a cloud. Also, being able to move about during the movie easily without feeling cramped together with other moviegoers is great. During both movies, it was a full house but I didn't feel it. 4 out of 5 stars based on this visit. You can't go wrong with Landmark Cinemas in New Westminster.

I didn't know that my husband had purchased special tickets with motion vibrating seats, synchronized to the movie sounds effects. I spent the first 5 minutes completely annoyed that my chair wouldn't recline and an annoying massage feature to go along with that. After learning it was a special feature, I turned it back on. The vibrations do add to the experience, but I can't say that it is for me. The vibrating seats are stiff, narrow and very upright. I'd much rather have plush reclining seats as an added feature. The seat next to me had its rubber seat trim fallen off and hanging on the floor ++tripping hazard on the upper row. I appreciate all the innovative and different movie viewing options offered at this location. I even saw a sensory viewing option for autistic viewers??

The scene points rewards program gives you back about 5% back in the form of points that you can redeem at Shell gas station or Safeway grocery stores. The staff are always very friendly and helpful. They thank us for coming every time and do a good job at cleaning the theatres. This theatre has a few special experiences. The IMAX theatre is very big with excellent sound and graphics. We have watched Tron: Ares, Mission, Impossible: Dead Reckoning and The Bride! in IMAX. This IMAX theatre is a lot bigger than Silvercity Riverport which only has 10 rows. The only complaint I have is that it costs $28. Screen X is a 270 degree experience with 3 screens with selected scenes using all 3 screens. We watched Scream 7 and 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple in Screen X. The two side screens are 90 degrees on the side walls and lower resolution. It would be better if the screens were 45 degrees. The side screens usually have some background images. They have two UltraAVX theatres which has enhanced graphics and sound. We watched How to Train a Dragon, Ballerina, Lilo & Stitch, The Black Phone 2, Nobody 2, Wuthering Heights and Reminders of Him in UltraAVX. The action movies are worth paying the extra $6 but we can't tell much difference with the drama movies except for the bigger screen. The IMAX and UltraAVX theatres on level 2 have new leather, high back seating that lean back. Theatres 4-9 upstairs still have old, cloth seats that need to be upgraded. Some of them are broken and still being sold. The other locations we have been to, including International Village, Metropolis, Marine Gateway and Fifth Avenue all have new seats and do a better job at not selling broken seats and taping them off. They have soda machines that have 100+ flavours to choose from including zero sugar and unlimited refills. My favourites are strawberry sprite and pineapple Fanta. It's about $7 for a medium. Getting the large popcorn is worth it as it's a lot bigger than the medium and you get one free refill. Unlimited popcorn topping.

The Rio Theatre, located on Broadway at Commercial Drive (which is extremely transit convenient),…read moreis a fixture of the Commercial Drive neighbourhood. I don't know the entire history of the theatre, but apparently it was built in 1938. The Rio is known for screening cult classic movies and live shows, and in 2012, it fought the outdated BC Liquor board so that movie theatres could serve alcohol -- a big win! In the past, I have gone to a handful of shows (mostly movies showing at the Vancouver International Film Festival), but I didn't go often for two reasons: many of the movies I was interested in started way too late for me (such as at 9:30pm or 11pm), and years ago, I had a really negative experience. I don't recall when the incident happened -- perhaps it was after they had acquired a liquor licence -- but you had to be 19+ to go (that's the legal drinking age here), and while I was much older than 19, apparently I looked young, so I used to get so much shit for my appearance. Shortly before the event, my ID had expired and I was waiting for a new one to come in the mail. In the meantime, I was using my passport as ID. The person at the door was extremely rude and aggressive and made a big deal of specifically asking ME for ID -- from his tone, I think he didn't expect me to be of age. I pulled out my wallet from my purse to grab my ID, then remembered that I didn't have it as it was being renewed, so put it back into my purse and reached for my passport. As I was reaching for my passport, the rude and aggressive employee sneered, "Oh, you forgot your ID, I see, huh?" Yes, even thought this was nearly 15 years ago, I still remember this incident, and it always upset me. The guy was so fucking rude. Also, they used to insist on stamping your hand, and I hate having the inside of my wrist stamped because the ink rubs off on the side of my shirt, so prefer to have the top of my hand stamped. This guy was also rude about this. Anyway, due to events not working with my schedule and my encounter with the rude employee, I had little interest in going to the Rio unless it was for the film festival. However, recently, there have been several events I have been interested in: a screening of The Shawshank Redemption with a Q&A with Gil Bellows in July; a screening of The Room presented by Greg Sestero in August; a screening of Clue in October; a screening of the original Carrie presented by Mike Flanagan in October; and a film festival movie in October. And each time I had a great experience -- no more rude and aggressive employees! The most recent event I went to was John Waters live on December 3. My husband is a huge John Waters fan, so I bought tickets for his show. However, I had only bought the regular tickets, and my husband then told me he would have liked the VIP tickets (better seats, a signed poster, a post-show Q&A). On the Rio website, they clearly state that all sales are final and that tickets cannot be returned or exchanged. So what did I do? Emailed them asking if I could exchange the regular tickets for the more expensive VIP tickets, despite their policy. Their answer was an enthusiastic "absolutely!" and it was easy to exchange the tickets. Amazing customer service! I am a fan of the Rio and I look forward to seeing more shows and events!
