Having never been to an imagine cinema before, I didn't really know what to expect and was very , very pleasantly surprised. I went with my family, and found it odd that they brought blankets but learnt to not question them , and soon everything made sense. The reclined seats were the comfiest ever, and I almost fell asleep had it not been for the full on horror film playing on the screen in front of me. Super comfy and feels just like it would at home but with a cinema screen. This branch is super clean, everyone is really friendly and they always have great movies showing. Will definitely be coming again

Great movie theater overall. Amazing movie screen. Comfortable reclining chairs to sit in with cup holders to place beverages in.

The cinema is great with very comfy seats. Love the fact you can prebiotic your seats and not worry of who will I need to fight with to get the best seat for any movie... there are plenty of showings for all new releases and did I mention the comfy adjustable seats? These make the Competitors VIP seats feel like a total rip off... book your tickets soon as the big name movies are being screened soon enough

I do like this theatre but they need to work on the concession. Theres at least 100 people in line, they are lined up the stairs and there are 4 people behind the concession counter and only 2 are serving. The other 2 are sputtering. Not even making popcorn. Literally just moving things around

Food is good and affordable

Everytime I come to watch a movie at Imagine Cinemas in Richmond Hill I get so excited. The one thing I love the most is the nice Lazy-Boy style reclining chairs. The chairs are spacious, comfortable and make watching movies an amazing experience. My second favourite feature is how small the auditoriums are. It is almost like you are with friends. :) Prices and food are very reasonable. You will not regret coming to Imagine Cinemas.

I am just in love with Imagine Cinemas. YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS YOUR GO-TO MOVIE THEATRE!!! This place totally beats Cineplex VIP experience as you get to RECLINE!! That's literally all I care about when I go to the movie theatres--RECLINING ON THAT CHAIR! The downside is that they don't serve food or alcohol but who needs that when you get to RECLINEEEE!!! Need I say more? Come here to REEEECCCCCLLLLIIINNNNEEE!!! I ordered my tickets online and was able to reserve my seats. I couldn't believe that it only costs $12, which includes tax, for an adult ticket--this is like half the cost of Cineplex VIP. Also, when I ordered online, they didn't have any handling fee that I had to pay for ordering online so this is pretty AWESOME!! Other theatres require you to pay a handling fee per ticket, where I might as well drive to the theatre and just buy the tickets in person. One thing I did notice is that there aren't a lot of trailers prior to the movies. My movie start time was 3:50pm and by 3:58pm, the movie proper started rolling. So if you're someone that count on the trailers and arrive late to the movie theatres, I will encourage you to arrive "earlier" so you don't miss the start of the movie. I didn't order any concession at the theatre because I had dinner plans after but the concession pricing is comparable to other locations. Imagine Cinemas is going to be my new go-to movie theatre. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!

The girl in the hijab was so rude

I have never been more disappointment than I've been within a 5 minute interaction. This lady with the black hijab woke up today and decided to hate the world and everyone in it. When me and my friends came she was hostile from the start and was giving us a lot of attitude. Telling us to hurry up constantly, rolling her eyes, and wouldn't serve us popcorn after she just served it to half of our friends claiming it was "now old". When the same batch of popcorn was right behind her. She was straight up rude, unprofessional and has no care for costumer service. Me and my friends frequent this theatre often and we will not be coming back because of her.

Power recliner seating.  Watch movie with my feet up
A Y.

It is very unusual for me to have an urge to write a review right after I have patronized a business. When I do, as in the case of Imagine Cinemas, there is no way in the world it is less than a 4 stars rating. The basics: I visited Imagine yesterday (Tuesday) evening to watch an Avenger movie. It was a busy evening. Even so, the services I received was fast and friendly. The open areas, the ladies washroom and the cinema I was in were clean. The interior looks dated and can use a refurbishment here and there. Still, the "good" mentioned below far outweighs the "bad" here. Oh the seat, my love: Many have said, and I would reiterate, that the seats are powered recliners. The seat was wide, as in I put my handbag in the space between my right thigh and the right armrest, and there was spare room between my left thigh and the left armrest. The cushion was soft, yet the back and seat had good support. I tilted the recliner and put my feet up for 2.5 hours. I honestly have never been this relaxed and well rested after watching a long movie. Movie selection: they DO carry the latest and current movies. Sight and sound: The screen is not as big as Cineplex, but I won't call it small either. It is sufficient for an action/Sci-Fi/special effect movie, and the sound system is good (really, seriously, as in it shatters my ill-placed bias). But no if you are looking to be completely engulfed in a movie, or a 3-D experience, Imagine doesn't have it. Personally, I don't enjoy 3-D movies or a vibrating chair, nor do I care to pay $17 for them. Show me the money (and the convenience): Ticket prices for adults are $12 regular and $8 Tuesday (2018 pricing). All seats are by reservation. No more paying $14 and still have to line up for 30 minutes for a good seat, or any seat as in the case of any hit movie. I chose my seat online, paid by credit card, picked ticket up at the cinema, then parked my behind in the pre-selected seat. No fuss, no line up, no guess work. Zero. If you prefer, you can still buy tickets at the box office counter. Food: The snack prices are okay. They are not street prices, but they are not highway robberies either. For reference, I bought a slush for $4.5. I didn't order popcorn, but for those who care, their popcorn is dairy free. One last thing: unless you dinner is popcorn and snacks, no you cannot order your lunch and dinner here.

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.

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 staff were pretty quick in providing the food and were attentive to our requests. The theatre in the VIP section is pretty spacious and clean.

I had to give five stars because this place has a lot going for it despite not being a traditional…read more5-star destination. By that, I mean that there's nothing fancy here as far as amenities go. However, this theatre boasts a comfortable, community-driven feeling (in the heart of downtown!) and is just what some people desire over the Big Box (big price) of larger chain theatres. The screens here aren't the biggest, creating an intimate viewing experience, but I have no complaints on image quality. The seating isn't the best - tall people in front can be more problematic without stadium style seating (which has become the norm in newer cinemas). The staff friendliness, great film selection, lower prices, and the old time movie-going vibe are what make this place a stand out from the pack. Arrive early and listen to a guy on piano play for a lobby buzzing before show time. It's like discovering a new favourite food, at an unassuming diner. They serve up the classic night out, with a slice of love.

Back again at the Carlton Imagine Cinemas! It's still $5 Tuesday movies (ignore the building poster…read moreadvertising $7, it's old) and concession is still discounted as well. We got cinema 7 this time, it's near the back, and one of the smaller theatres. Likely due to the nature of the movie being more drama, the audience was way less messy than last time. For smaller theatres like these, it feels like rows 6 - 10 are the ideal spots to be close enough without craning the neck. Will be back again soon!
