Review from Dishan W.
4/6/2012
The biggest movie theatre in Brampton at the end of a large strip mall it is your typical huge suburban cineplex. Mainstream blockbuster type movies are the norm here with fancy art house movies or small movies in general are harder to come by, yes they cater to the south Asian markets but that does not really set this theatre apart as many locations realise that it is worth it to jump on the Bollywood bandwagon.
You get your typical food choices in here which means nothing great, if you can tell apart popcorn quality from theatre to theatre I would say the popcorn here is average or just below. Staff members are for the most part uninspiring and just friendly enough to pass the day.
But I cant complain too much, crowds are more annoying than average because it is a big draw for high schoolers but the movie quality is OK, prices are cheaper than downtown tickets and they have an Ultra AVX theatre. People are not too spoiled for choice in these parts in terms of movie watching locations, but I would recommend it here over....not watching a movie? -

This is the biggest movie theatre in Brampton and it is located in a strip mall (Trinity Commons).
When this place first opened it was the most happening place and one of the best quality theatres in the area. Now it is a sad excuse of a theatre. The management has changed and it has gone from bad to worse with the staff over time. My family, friends, and I have had bad experiences at this place with the patrons, the staff, and the facilities themselves. I don't want to go into detail regarding every single episode but I will cover a few things.
The food used to be great. I don't know what it is about this theatre or head office, but the food has gone down the drain. They have changed the nachos (which used to be one of the best) and now give packed nachos with containers of cheese and salsa. Other restaurants have lowered their quality as well.
The staff has gone from bad to worse in that they don't care if you are waiting in line for over 10 minutes. The staff doesn't care that you want to return your tickets because you couldn't find a spot. The staff doesn't care in general.
The people that visit the theatre now are little kids that come drunk and start fights for no reason but to show that they are the gangsters of brampton. They will make noise during the movie and not care. They will let their friends in through the fire exits during the movie. Basically, the theatre is filled with kids now who don't have parents that care to teach them anything about mannerisms. It's sad. Again, the staff doesn't care to fix these issues.
The systems are either outdated or just messed up because wrong movies are played at wrong times and there are many issues in sound or video quality with lines showing up through out the movie, sound going in and out, and/or the video cutting off from the top or bottom.
Now, one of the worst theatres. -

In light of recent big changes to Silvercity Brampton at Trinity Commons, it seemed appropriate to write a review.
With the recent changes to many Silvercity locations, and the addition of the Ultra-AVX screens, B-town decided to hop on that bandwagon, and I recently got to check out the results.
Firstly, certain things were the same. The snack bar hasn't changed at all, nor has the Burger King tucked behind it. The NY Fries has (maybe not so) recently become what appears to be a much healthier alternative, though I didn't get close enough to really examine the menu. Besides, if you don't want to eat overpriced theater food, Trinity offers Casey's, Montanas, East Side Marios, Pizza Pizza, Harvey's, Subway, Wild Wing, and a couple of other chain-restaurant options.
The entire ticket-purchase station is revamped, and moved to the side wall, which is so much more convenient, as the old station allowed for a chaotic line that would extend through the entranceway. They've also added a large new screen which displays the showtimes, and will alert the customer if a certain time is cutting close or has already started, through colour-changes and a flashing font. And what I believe is a first in any theater I've been in...a CLOCK is also featured prominently. I've never understood why a clock is never found in a place populated by people needing to know the time, but there you have it.
Another thing that hasn't changed is the small arcade area. Some of the machines look like they've seen way better days, and they don't really seem to be getting that much play, but perhaps at busier times they're really put to use. I also noticed a new addition...it appears to be a little glass booth you stand in, which simulates being in a furious storm. I figured I'd save my money, and just hit the Silvercity during a bad blizzard for the real thing.
As for the screens, I'm Team AVX all the way. I just can't fathom going back, now that I've been spoiled with this thing, the 5 dollar additional fee is a drop in the bucket for the extra comfort. I confess: I'm normally that guy who shifts uncomfortably like some drug addict during the entirety of shows, because I hate the seats so much. These new AVX theater seats are like sitting on a giant cotton ball, if the cotton ball reclined and held your drink for you. Just lovely. The picture and sound are pitch-perfect as well. One huge complaint I used to have with this Silvercity were the screens being so completely darkened, that you couldn't even see what was going on in really-dark scenes. It feels good to return to normality, as my first 2 movies on these screens were horror films with very dark scenes (Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The Thing, since you asked), and had no complaints whatsoever.
As an added bonus for our South Asian friends (or any fans of Indian films really), Silvercity B-town recognizes the demand for fine Indian cinema in this particular region, and devotes a few screens to it.
I'm really glad they've fixed up this theater. Now I don't have to trek to Mississauga to enjoy a movie!Listed in: B-Town!, 30-Day Yelp Challenge
