Cineplex Cinemas Queensway and VIP

Nowadays I usually come here to watch a movie, in recent months they added a new addition referred to as the VIP theater where you ridiculously overpay for a movie. This earns you comfier seats, and the option to buy alcoholic beverages, as if people don't already sneak in booze into theaters...

Anyways, I'm not the one to spend so much money on a movie so I'm sticking to the main theater. Pretty standard theater, with the same pricing as you'd find in any Cineplex. I usually go on tuesdays since movies are half price. This location is huge and theres always a movie you can catch at any time. Don't forget your scene card!

Great experience using the VIP service. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking but it can get packed on a busy night.

I've been coming to cineplex on queensways for some time now. Lots of Peking available but it can be busy on the weekends.

I enjoy coming to this location, I recommend checking out their vip section. There's a bar, lounge dinning area.

I recently saw a movie in the ultra avx and that was a fun experience, the screen was fairly larger and the sound quality was impressive.

We were determined not to get The Batman spoiled for us so we decided on seeing an afternoon showing the day following the midnight premier. We opted to buy our tickets online. Annoyingly you do have to sign up for an account to be able to buy tickets. Once you're in, you can select your seats for your selected time.

On our way to the theatre, my partner realized that he had forgotten his glasses which would definitely impact the viewing quality. We attempted to get a hold of customer support via the chat method on the website but it seemed impossible to connect with a live agent. We left the chat window open for 30 minutes with no response. Under the FAQ of the website, they state that you can change your showtime up to a half hour before the show. We had just passed that mark but decided to try our luck anyways.

This theatre is pretty much standalone by itself. The parking lot is huge and the nearest establishment to it is a Kelsey's that's right along the street. You should be able to find parking no problem.

We explained our predicament to the greeter who directed us to the box office for any requests that involved moving showtimes. The employee that helped us at the till simply asked us to select another showtime and then had us pick our seats on the touch-screen monitor they had on there. Then we were printed new tickets and our way back home to retrieve our forgotten items.

For the new releases they have a lot of options for viewing - DBOX seats, IMAX seats, and just the regular theatre experience. We went with the later. The screen was still huge and sound was great, nothing ear shattering. The seats have a slight recline to them if you lean back. They were comfy enough for the whole 2.5 hour movie. At the end of The Batman movie, the employees were handing out complimentary comic books which was pretty cool.

Lastly when I was checking out the concession stands, I noticed that they carry plushies and blankets which are great if you get cold in the theatre. They also have little figurines of the popcorn characters that are in the Scotiabank commercials that are shown during the previews.

This is the first time I have visited a theatre since the Pandemic hit. We came here as a group of 4 on a Friday to watch Black Widow on July 30th. We tried booking the first week of Black Window opening and it was full. So I would expect the second week to be relatively busy. When we arrived and sat in our assigned seats, it surprised me how well-spaced we are. There is only one other group on the same row as us, and we were approx 10 seats apart. Maybe it's partly because you can also stream Black Widow but we felt like keeping to tradition and watching in theatres.

Did you know you can order food delivered to the theatre? They have a designated side table for you to pick up your delivery inside near the entrance. Though I'm not sure if this is a partnership with Cineplex, when I ordered a drink and two burritos from Burrito Boyz (3min drive away), I was surprised the bill came up to $40-50~. Does Cineplex take a cut? I understand if they do because they make most of their revenue from food and drinks.

The place is clean and spacious. I would feel comfortable to revisit.

The concessions staff are either very poorly trained or they hire the most incompetent people out there. It's consistently an awful experience here,

Update 2019-11-02.

At the Entrance, there are now 4 very large touch-screen where you can play the game "Breakout" for free.

I was here for a corporate event again. It was held in their theatre 1 which is their big Ultra AVX theatre. The temperature outside was around 8C and drizzle. Unfortunately inside the theatre it was slightly cold. I had to where a coat and thin gloves. I hope the other theatres were warmer.

The audio (via a microphone) was bad in that the person spoke (which you can hear if sitting close enough) and then the sound comes out of the large speakers behind the screen one second later!

Yes the AVX theatre had ver comfortable leather seats that can recline.ĺ

This Cineplex is huge!

With 17 screens plus the VIP section! The parking lot is huge and I was able to find a parking with no issue and it was even close to their entrance!

The food selection here is quite good. There is even a Tim Horton's! A slice of pizza for $3.99 was also quite reasonable.

The washrooms here also really clean and plentiful.

The last time I was at this Cineplex was probably over a decade ago. It wasn't a VIP theatre back then. It didn't have a ton of business development around. It was simply a theatre with a single restaurant across the parking lot.

I recently came here for a corporate event. The area has also been massively developed with restaurants and shops. The parking lot looks the same. However, the interior looks and feels different.

For me, signage is important. If you don't have proper signage, I will be the first one to tell you that it's bad when I can't get to where I need to be. I am truly your usability tester when it comes to signage and GPS directions. I will tell you if the steps are perfect, or if they truly suck and I end up in another city. Thankfully, there were plenty of clean signs indicating that we needed auditorium 3.

This place treated everyone like royalty. Bags of popcorn were available for you to pick up steps away from auditorium 3. Bottle drinks? Pick up one from a ton of selection. It was nice. I thanked the nice Cineplex woman in front of the table of goodies, who appreciated it and smiled back.

I walked in with one of my interns. Auditorium 3 is huge! It seats at least 200 people. We walked up the steps and plopped down in our seats. They were comfy. You could lean back a bit, but we decided not to annoy the folks behind us.

We flagged my other intern who came in later. We all sat together, munched on our popcorn even though we were all stuffed from lunch, and I opened my bottle of Diet Coke when a speaker was talking. Yes, you could hear it. I didn't care. It's either I annoy folks for a few seconds with the sound of twisting the cap off and taking a drink, or I die from thirst and have an ambulance come fetch me.

There were presentations and focus groups during this corporate event. The video and audio were perfect. It was a decent setting for everything that was presented and planned.

The best part was that the presentation ended at 4 pm on a windy, cold Friday afternoon. We could go home. Yay!

I'd like to come back here and give the VIP experience a try. I loved looking at the arcade section. It looked impressive and I wanted to play some games. I also liked this little marketplace where you could purchase popcorn, snacks, and drinks. It looks different from the regular concession stands that you expect at Cineplex, which is refreshing.

My boyfriend and I did a late show for the Avengers: End Game Saturday night. Obviously we chose VIP for this special franchise.

Parking lots were packed - we drove around the whole plaza, zero spot left. We ended up parking on the side street, thankfully, it is allowed.

We pre-ordered our tickets online so we skipped the line and straight to the ticket person. She ID'ed us and scanned our e-ticket with a bit of ease. She struggled to scan the boyfriend's ticket, I blame his android phone. #TeamiPhone.

The boyfriend grabbed a drink and popcorn from concession instead of ordering in seat. He went to the washroom before the movie started while I held it until the end. The washroom is cleaner than most public washrooms.

The movie was slated to start at 10:00 PM but instead it started half hour later.

I thought I was prepare for this movie, I wasn't. I was not ready for the End at all. Without spoiling the movie, this is as much as I could type.

Watched sonic with my friends and pals I truly felt like I was in the world of green hills as I stood there in awe of the comfortable seats with buttered popcorn this facility is amazing I truly had the best of times in here. Once the movie was over I wanted more but not just more, I wanted MORE. Luckily the arcade had sonic, tails, knuckles, even shadow plus many other friends and pals (Bert) after we won them all we truly felt the trilogy until I checked Twitter. I then took a picture of me and the minions to understand what sonic and speed really meant.
