What's the difference between the SilverCity brand and the Cineplex brand? I had assumed the SilverCity was a larger edifice. Standalone. More screens, more giant Star Trek space ship models hanging from the ceiling. The Fairview mall is a tight row of about 9 screens with a small first floor ticket area, escalators up, and then a single aisle of screening rooms. There's a bar lounge and some food vendors serving grub twice what you'd pay if you only had the foresight to pig out in the food court.
The screening rooms themselves have all the latest latest: Stadium this and reclining seats that and digital liquid THX over there and assymetrical Nadion field pulse generators under your seat.
None of that, however, helped them get the movie started on time. Yeah, even the Nadion generators. Bloody movie was 20 minutes late. No one bothered to come into the theater to tell us what was going on. And no one bothered to offer us passes on the way out. I can do without a model of the Enterprise NCC-1701D hanging from my movie hall ceiling (well, I can handle that slipshod attention to detail sober) but starting late? What are y'all run by former TTC bus drivers? And then you don't have the decency to make good? One Yelp star go bye bye. Fear me, Slipshod theater manager! Fear me.
Careful where you park. If you park anywhere and enjoy the mall first, they wall off the mall after about 10 pm. If your movie gets out late, you might have to walk half way around the mall to get to your car. -

This is one of my favourite theaters to head to from my parents' house near Yonge and York Mills. Though Empress Walk and the Sheppard Grande are closer, the free parking at Fairview definitely wins it some points. Add to that the reclining seats, the nice clean washrooms and the friendly staff, I dig. I went to see Harry Potter there this summer on opening day and was impressed by how well organized and how nice the staff were considering the cray-cray.

Though I can't say the same for the mall, this theater is easily my favourite place to watch the latest flicks. The theater is no longer that sad, tired memory I have of the Cineplex turned into a Rainbow Cinemas back in the day.
They offer discounts on Tuesdays although I've noticed they no longer advertise it online. It's also not uncommon for shows to sell out in the evenings, so I would definitely pre-plan for a good seat. There is a lounge, not that I've ever used it and Far Coast coffee if you're looking for something other than pop.
The washrooms are always clean but the colour palette is definitely a little trippy. Now if only Cineplex would start offering healthy snacks for the rest of us who aren't into popcorn or candy.
