    I can't count how many times I have been to this location as it's THE movie spot ! I'm obsessed with the VIP cinemas and haven't been back to the normal seats ever since. This location has changed so much form the decor to the lay out and the whole brand new downstairs it's super pretty.

    One of many pieces of artwork; this, showing the changes of the Habs' uniform over the years.

    **This review is for the building that this cinema/Cineplex is housed in. It is not for the actual theater; rather, I am reviewing the site itself** Approximately 6-7 years ago. I brought my young kids to the old Forum, to show them where I had spent so many winters watching hockey games with my dad, cheering on the Habs. I was so dismayed, as the Forum then was really seedy and the only nod to its esteemed past was a tiny section of original red Forum seats in the center of the floor, with a goofy resin sculpture of a male fan seated on one of these chairs. It was so sad. Fast forward to today. They converted the old Forum into a huge Cineplex movie complex. And while it's not perfect, they at least respected the history of the building. There's a hallway lined with the original red seats, with walls covered with photos of the Habs' remarkable history, and all the famous players of yore, and mock pennants of all their Stanley Cup wins. I only took a few photos, but they really did a great job of doing tribute to the team and the building. And they kept the Canadien's logo where center ice would be, on the floor. Best of all, they made huge shadowboxes along a curvilinear wall, each depicting memorabilia from the Forum's past, from its building and inauguration, to all the shows that were held here since its opening: the Ice Follies, the dog shows, the circuses, the wrestling and boxing matches, music concerts and more. (I should have taken photos of the shadowboxes but I was too busy poring over them. Sorry!). The atrium of the building, where the entrance to the cinema is, is really beautiful, with its cavernous space and high, oh so high ceiling. Greenery and crystal orbs are suspended from on high, and the entire space is airy and feels light (despite the lack of windows). I loved how they maintained the press box on high, too; it's pretty amazing to see how incredibly high up the announcers and commentators were, having a real birds'-eye-view of the hockey action way below. The space is quite accessible for those who are mobility challenged or disabled. Not only are there centrally-located escalators, but there are also two banks of elevators on each side of the atrium, and the space is well lit and open and clear of obstacles. Also, FYI, the site is connected to the Metro system, too (bonus!). I saw that, up on the second and third levels, there are rooms and hallways connecting to Dawson College, and a Comedy Club, too. Ideally one day they'll have a museum dedicated to this amazing building that played such a pivotal role in Montreal's cultural history but until this day, I was so glad to see at least the history respected now.

    We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled posts to bring you RandomQuest Quest ™. Although fairly decent food was ordered, served (yes, they bring it to your seat!) and happily consumed - we are focusing on the overall experience here. Very comfortable, heated seats with electric leg rest that extend to an almost lying down position complete with built-in rotating trays and a retractable middle arm rest to turn your two individual seats into a loveseat all accentuated nicely with excellent, friendly service makes for a pampered-feeling, relaxing movie watching experience. And they serve alcohol (beer, wine, cocktails and bowls!) during a movie, which is pretty cool

    The forum is a great theatre. Always lots of movie choices and well kept. The staff is very nice and they clean up the rooms quickly after each showing. It's also very conveniently located next to a shopping center. I always stop by Alexis Nihon beforehand to grab some drinks and snacks. The only way I pay those absurd movie snack prices is if I have a gift card. The only complaint I have is that if you buy your tickets online and choose to pick them up at the theatre, you still have to wait in line with the other people who are picking up their tickets. So what's the point of buying online? And if you want them emailed, you still have to print them. This is super frustrating because on cheap Tuesdays it's always busy and I'd like to get everything done swiftly but I still end up waiting.

    I love watching movies in theatres, especially at a cineplex location. This theatre is great, it has multiple theatres (well over the 20 count) which is great when you want to see a movie that has been out for a while. However, the downside is that they usually play that movie on one of their smaller auditoriums (which translates to a smaller screen). I came here to see First Man, a movie with a really good and loud soundtrack. I would've loved to see it on a bigger screen with a better audio acoustic room. One main downside of this theatre is that they charge an extra $2 per movie ticket. Not exactly sure why. After seeing at least 5 movies here, you can basically go for 6 movies for the same price at the Scotiabank theatre downtown, which I find much better (all auditoriums are huge and is truly a great experience). If you're looking to see a movie that has been out for a while or is only playing at this location, I would highly recommend this theatre. They still hold multiple screenings throughout the day/evening which is great! (Buying a popcorn and coke are a must! The best popcorn in theatres and the fountain drink pairs perfectly)

    When I was in Montreal last September, I wanted to see The 9th Life of Louis Drax. It was only playing at a Cineplex on Atwater in downtown Montreal. So, I drove over there. There is a parking lot that connects you to the building. A new parking attendant basically prevented me from using my credit card and asked me to do something else. Although my French is rusty, I am still pretty good at reading signs in French. I told him that it accepts credit cards. Finally, he spoke to his colleague who indicated the same thing that I just mentioned -- credit cards are accepted. I slid my car into the machine, it came out, I retrieved it, the lane's arm went up, and I went in. The new parking lot attendant did apologize. That was nice. Still, he took up five minutes of my time! I parked. I realized that this Cineplex used to be the Forum. Yes, THE Forum where the Habs played for decades, along with a ton of memorable concerts. Wow! I am glad that the original seats are still there. You can sit down, take photos next to various statues and such, and go up to the second floor to look at all the memorabilia. I loved it! I had enough points to watch my movie for free. Yay! I also got nachos and a hot dog. I didn't have lunch, so lunch in the dark, it was! The movie was wonderful. I liked how roomy the seats were. The picture and sound were perfect. I have no complaints. I'd come here again to see a movie when I am in Montreal. (22)

    This was very cool. Deciding last minute to go see a movie it was amazing to walk in the building and to see the use of it. Loved it

In fact, pay attention to the programming as filmmakers and specials guests will be present, such as Denis Villeneuve during it's sold out presentation of Blade Runner 2049 last Sunday. A state of the art equipped theatre, with 4K projectors, seats about 54 people and provides daily screenings at 7pm and 9pm and all day on the weekends. The fronting intimate 'café-slash-bar' provides a perfect area to get out of our traditional "web streaming bubble", gather in an intimate yet vibrant environment, socialize and mingle with locals over a beverage or food or your choice at any time or the day. Although it wasn't too busy and people were strolling in and out quite a bit, I could imagine this place getting crowded at peak times. On the menu were an assortment of steamed bao buns including vegetarian, gravlax, chicken or smoked meat and even a breakfast bao which I had the chance to taste with a side salad with glass of fresh pressed orange juice during brunch. There's also a choice cleverly named brews on tap, as well nice wine card and hand crafted cocktails. Located upstairs, is a post-production company called Post-Moderne, where many movies are go through finalisation processes such as colorisation. Overall, the theatre, café-bar, and post-prod company combination is a very smart use of space and very interesting concept to discover. Please do come and experience what the founders, Roxanne Sayegh and Alexandre Domingue, have been researching for so long in Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, New York and Mexico City, and finally transform their dream into reality right here in Montreal - hopefully stating a revolutionary movement that will make pull us cinephiles out of our couches back into the theatre! You have a baby or kids? No worries, this place is very family friendly, especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings. So no excuses - come and join me!

The schedule should be packed, as far as I'm concerned, with the best modern and historic cinema has to offer, but all too often it sits empty waiting to be rented out for events.
