Review from Brian S.

The Park Theatre was built at Time when a Single Screen Theatre served as much as neighbourhood anchor as a Hollywood marketing hub. The Park shows mostly Art House style features. The kind of Pretentious films over educated people that live in area must get out the house to see. (PS I live in the area). I been going to The Met Opera in HD shows there. Today I saw Handel's Rodelinda. The Park's Screen is Large and it Sound System is Wonderful the Seats are comfortable and the staff is helpful.

I love this theatre because you can raise the arm rests and it's less than 10 minutes from my house. What can I say, I'm bias towards geography.
But please, Park Theatre, stop playing the King's Speech. We get it, it's a great movie (even the Oscars thought so), but even the brightest of stars must eventually die out. The King's Speech can't hold monopoly on the lone theatre forever, can it? -

We came to the Park on Sunday to check out Alice in Wonderland. We stopped by an hour before the show to grab tickets since it was opening weekend and we weren't sure how busy it was going to be. The ticket seller let us know that they were expecting it to be busy so we should try to show up early to get a good seat. It was 3pm... the show was at 4pm, so we had breakfast and showed up at 3:57. Heh.
It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. I had to arm wrestle the BF into sitting in the corner with me, since he wanted to sit in the middle of the row near the front, but being the gothic bitch that I am , I forced him to sit in the corner with me like a loner. I LOVE LOVE LOVED the movie! And I can be critical of Tim Burton movies unlike the elite hard cores that even liked Ed Wood. The movie was in 3D, it was $13, and I would totally go see it again. I love our neighbourhood theatre!Listed in: Best of the best

I've always favoured smaller theatres to the giant impersonal multiplexes and their ability to make you strike terror in you for even thinking of bringing outside food or drink onto their premises. Despite all the changes and facelifts Vancouver has undergone in recent years, it's nice to see that some relics have survived. Park Theatre still holds the same charm. With only one theatre, the place is intimate and cozy. Films shown here are rarely of the blockbuster variety and usually have about as much quirkiness as Park Theatre itself.
Hopefully, this theatre will survive the latest trend of purging of anything older than five years. -

I really like this theatre...it's small (only one theatre), cozy and the bathrooms are clean. It would be a great movie date venue rather than the impersonal multiplexes that are the norm. Being along the Canada Line route is a plus as well. Despite the limited movie selection, I would choose this theatre whenever they are playing a film I'd want to watch.

Back in Vancouver for a visit and wanted to see a movie or two at some old single-screen theatres of my "youth". Happy to find the Park still in business ...
Bizarre-yet-efficient automated ticket kiosk right outside. I'd rather interact with an actual person (I'm not at a mall theatre after all).
This place has always felt a little underloved, and that hasn't changed ... kinda forlorn lobby area. But the snack bar service was pleasant, the hot chai (a tea-of-the-something special) hot and delicious, and popcorn w. butter accomplished its job.
Thank you, Park, for still being here for us! -

My favorite theatre without stadium seating. Gotta love the love seats. Food and coffee is good and is in reasonably sized portions. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a deep discount for early matinées.

Next time I went back I didn't like the grumpy guy at the entrance.

If given the choice, I'll always pick seeing a movie at the Park rather than at any downtown multiplex. This single-screen theatre has plush seating, some nice things at the snack bar (chai, hot chocolate), and it's within walking distance to some good restaurants, cafés and a gelato shop. This theatre tends to show higher quality films, and in July and August they host the Francophone Movie Festival. I'd avoid the automated ticket kiosk in favour the buying a ticket from a person, but that aside, I love the Park.
