Really impressed by recent upgrades…read more Imagine Cinemas offers the same big screen showings at a smaller independent venue. This theatre has been around and the most unique aspect is its comfortable recliner seats. Be sure to reserve & sit near the front rows for the big screen experience. The theatre visitors have steadily increased since the theatre upgrades and tickets can be ordered online ahead of time, before pickup at the gates. The screen is bright and the Imagine XP cinema rooms no longer have screen glare during bright scenes. We do enjoy the convenience of coming to this theatre. The Imagine XP cinema room featured larger 4K laser projection and a booming Dolby Atmos surround sound that even gave me Apple Watch hearing warnings during prolonged immersive scenes. The leather seats were also relatively new. Skip it or hit it? The great experience in a recent matinee will encourage us to come back to this Imagine theatre more often.

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.

Most of their candy/chocolate options were sold out or limited most of the shelves were filled with merch and toys. The bathrooms were just as bad.

Great First Experience at Cineplex VIP!…read more My partner and I recently visited Cineplex VIP at Downtown Markham for *The Odyssey* on Tuesday, and we had a really enjoyable experience! The Tuesday offer was around $19 per person, which we felt was a good value for the VIP experience. We arrived about 10 minutes early and spent some time relaxing in the VIP lounge before the movie. The lounge was comfortable, and there was a bar where you could order both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are nicer, cleaner washrooms too. One of the highlights for us was being able to borrow a closed-captioning device, this service should be available for non-VIP seats. As non-native English speakers, we really appreciated this, especially for a movie that was almost three hours long. The captions made it much easier for us to follow the dialogue and enjoy the movie without constantly worrying about missing something. We also ordered boneless chicken wings directly from our seats. The food was decent and reasonably priced, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and happy to help. We even asked for some water, and they brought it right to our seats. Overall, this was our first Cineplex VIP experience, and we really enjoyed it. The comfortable lounge, closed-captioning option, seat-side food service, and friendly staff made the whole movie night feel much more relaxing and enjoyable than a regular theatre visit. For the Tuesday price, we definitely felt it was worth it, and we would happily come back again! There are some snack deals on tuesday too, please refer to the pictures.

The gentleman checking us in was friendly and courteous. I think he was also the one who started our movie, and cleaned up after when the movie was done XD There are no more staff selling tickets anymore; they are all done at the ticket kiosks right when you enter. The gentleman scanning the tickets also stands in the very front near the entrance doors. After you enter, you can then purchase your snacks and drinks, and play arcade games. This theatre seems to be in the middle of getting rid of their red old/dirty theatre seats - I guess it is finally time to change them! The washrooms were also tidy and clean.

Roxy theater is a gem in the world of big box stores and mega movie theaters! I watched The Hobbit…read more3 over the holiday season, and was delighted with the service. First off, if you're looking for a 10 screen, 5 showings each hour place; look elsewhere - the Roxy has only 2 screens (multiple titles alternate in showings). But "quality, not quantity" is the result. The Roxy reminded me of how a night at the movies use to be: * reasonable prices - $10 regular ($7 matinee and Tuesday's) * no price gouging concessions. I got popcorn and a drink for under $10 * intimate showing (seating for 100 or so) * old Hollywood motif in the lobby. Though the Roxy has the old Hollywood charm, the technology is not lacking. The interior is up-to-date, and it's screens & sound are on par with the big chain theaters. I applaud you Roxy as you bring charm back to the Silver Screen experience!

Went to see what could be the biggest movie of 2015 here (Star Wars, The Force Awakens). And for…read morethat experienced the good, the bad, and not so ugly. I heard this was a cool, quaint and original type cinema so was excited to see this movie in a theatre so 'raw' For starters, went for a 1pm matinee, there was a decent line of people waiting to buy tickets, there was only one attendant working the box office and even being half an hour early, and only about 10 people back, I started being concerned I would make it in, in time for the movie based on how slow the attendant was working. Positive point was the matinee was only 7$!! OK only took about 12 long minutes to get in, so there would be 18 minutes to grab concessions and a seat. Seeing the line for popcorn, decided to grab seats first, and I would venture back for snacks after a seat was acquired. Thankfully we did, as the theatre was rather full (two birthday parties) Went back to the popcorn line which was longer than when I entered the theatre, 15 minutes to showtime approximately, three people working the stand.... I know it is not rocket science to move popcorn and soda, but at points all three are serving one customer. More than once. Thankfully people were getting fed up and leaving the line due to the excessively long wait, so moved up bit by bit. I watched one person take an order, repeat it to the person who was next to them, who likely heard it as clearly as I was hearing it, who then would delegate either the popcorn or soda to the third, and fetch the other item themselves. If I did not have my five year old son with me who would not survive a movie without popcorn or drink, I would have ditched this ludicrous situation and stewed in my seat popcornless. But... Got my fresh popcorn, real butter, and soda (two orders actually) for the amazing semi low price of 22$ in a big theatre, that basically is the cost of one order. So into the theatre, one minute after 'start' and the previews had not started. I guess they knew how long the popcorn line was so they delayed the previews maybe 8 minutes. The seats were big and comfortable, semi reclining. With a fair bit of leg room. So that was a plus, and the had a seat booster for my boy, do another plus for that. The movie looked and sounded great, no 3d or imax or collosus or whatever but it was a pretty good experience. Maybe some more experienced staff when dealing with a movie this big on the first matinee of the Christmas break in opening week.. Will definitely go back for another movie, another times and maybe the overall experience will be better for for now I will only say it was alright

Back to good? We…read morealways enjoyed visiting Imagine Cinemas as an independent theatre. But this aging location at Promenade Mall has also disappointed us on 2 past visits with movie showings that paused midway. First time was caused by a fire alarm. Second time the show stopped twice once midway and once at the very end due to fuse resets. Yes, you do get the same comfy reclinable sofa seats, and a smaller comparative audience in the theatre. They do have reasonable prices at this time, including Tuesday night $5 tickets with $5 large popcorn specials, as well as $8 everyday matinee tickets and $8.99 bucket popcorn. We generally look forward to a show for the whole family but hope the facilities improve for our next movie night with a smooth showing if we come back here. Update: recent shows that we've caught here in the past year have gone without a hitch. Only minor complaint is the screen which without glare had a dark spot on the screen that didn't project quite as bright. Skip it or hit it? We'll be back assuming the problems that plagued here don't recur.

A big plus is that on Tuesdays you can get tickets for as little as $5 including tax. Luxury on a budget.

Once I left my phone in the theatre during the last screening and the mall was locked, and I couldn't come in to get my phone. We gave them a call.

Powered lazy boy style leather seating. Screens are not massive but work fine. Sound is passable not crazy loud in standard theatre.

I went here to watch Avengers End Game a 3 hour movie and was comfortable the whole time. Only improvement would be to have the emailed confirmation be your ticket so you don't have to print one at the terminal. Just to save paper and a bit of customers time. That's just me being picky.
