Review from Jill C.
North York, ON
The Sheppard Grande is in walking distance from me and it is nice to come here and enjoy the really comfy seats that rock back and forth, I feel like a crazy old lady in her rocking chair!!
however the arm rests do not move up .. :(
There is all this leg room as well, so you don't feel squished, even though I do not really need this space as I am really short, I know you giants out there will enjoy it. -

This theater is located conveniently right on the Sheppard station so it serves a good purpose as one can avoid the cold somewhat by just sticking to the subway line.
Now its located mid/uptown so it does get slammed one weekends and holidays.
Nevertheless the theater is at par with other Cineplex group offerings albeit without the IMAX.
I saw a 3D presentation here and the setup is right for this kind of presentation. The ticketing area is open to the mall so it can get real busy.
Seats are nice and comfy.
3.5 stars. -

This is my favorite movie theater in Toronto because it's so close to where I live and it never seems to be too crowded. I love coming here on afternoons for a matinee - they have plenty of showtimes to offer and you can buy snacks and drinks at Dollarama if you bring a very large purse ;-)
I think Yonge & Dundas AMC is a bit nicer but it's much further away; this is my standby!
And like everyone else here said, the seats here are as cozy as can be. Just perfect to sink into on a cold day with some hot popcorn if you're in the mood to splurge on non-Dollar-store food. I kid, I kid!
Plenty of good restaurants nearby for dinner & movie date nights :) -

I like this theater because it's big, clean and easy to get to. I did once get horrible customer service here when I asked an employee if she had the time and she completely ignored me and walked away. I know she heard me. I think they should work on their customer service a bit but other than that I come here often...

Haven't been here for a long time but I was quite surprised with their renovations (don't know how long ago it was that they were done). The theatres are HUGE and they have REALLY REALLY comfy rocking seats that most other Cineplex's don't have. Lots of leg room and the place is always clean.
You can get validated parking for $1 if you park in the underground garage of the complex and show them your parking ticket. The elevators bring you right up to the theater too. -

Before the amalgamation of the GTA into the GTA, North York under Mel Lastman tried so hard to be the new downtown, trying to show Toronto Classic how to do it right. Wide streets. Shiny new office buildings for Fortune 500 Companies. A live theatre to play host to musicals for the blue haired set. Ten years on, it's still pretty hard to convince your friends downtown, in the Beaches, and in High Park to come any farther north than Eglinton. It boils down to what they got down there, we kinda sorta got up here now. But if you're down there, you don't have to go up here.
Case in point, the Grande Theatre. It's a nice serviceable theatre in the stadium seating tradition. The seats rock back. Not many theatres in Toronto have this feature. The arm rests don't move up, however. So you'll need a hotel room after. Might I suggest the North York Novotel? It's got your typical popcorn counter plus a café counter where you can get a cuppa joe. There's a nice windowed seating area so you can sip your coffee leisurely before your flick and watch the non-hustle and non-bustle of Yonge/Sheppard. And all the theaters are contiguous so it's another theater where you can one-plus-one it on the sly. The place could use several more self ticketing HAL 9000s. There appeared to only be about 4. For the 7 pm movie times, each had a long line and the human 9000 line was pretty long as well. And this was at a theatre not showing anything with vampires, werewolves, or were-vampires.
Given its proximity to K-town 2.0, I've noticed the theatre once in a while runs a Korean movie. So keep your eyes peeled.
End of the day, though, it's nice to know this is in your own backyard: a decent enough theatre to catch a flick on a lazy Sunday or when winter hits and the TTC customarily completely stops working north of Eglinton.Listed in: When you're alone and life is…

i do not RECOMMEND this theatre if you haven't slept a full 8 hours the night before. lest you sit in the PHENOMENALLY COMFY seats, pass out, only to awaken during the credits (I may have done this 4 times before learning my lesson).
