Review from Chris Y.

Yikes! Don't go here on a Tuesday!! Or if you do, come prepared ...
Tuesday movies are like $5 cheaper than the rest of the week, so this place gets seriously packed. Go early. Really early. The parking lot will be packed and you'll be looking for parking. Then, you'll have to wait in the long line for tickets. Followed by the long line for popcorn and drinks. Plan on getting your seat about 30 minutes ahead of time, especially if you want to have seats together with your friends.
Otherwise, it seems like a perfectly good quality theater. It's fairly up-to-date, and about as clean as can be expected. -

More of a note to potential movie viewers at this theatre. If you notice your movie does not start or you hear audio but there is no video, you should go immediately to let someone know. They don't have anybody that comes around at show time to ensure things are playing correctly.
This has happened the last 3 times I've come to this theatre and if nobody went to let them know we would have missed part of the movie or the movie would never have started.1 Previous Review: Show all »

I've been here twice. They have a lot of fast-food restaurants in the theatre, such as Burger King, Pizza Pizza, and New York Fries, though their menus are limited and seem to only carry the most popular items. The prices are also very high, like you would expect at all movie theatres.
The first time I came here was because I won 2 tickets from Paramount Pictures to see a screening of Indiana Jones 4. We thought it was pretty awesome that we were getting to see the movie before it came out in theatres. When we got there, Hot 89.9 and CTV were there for promotions. They were giving away t-shirts and prizes, one of which was won by a man who came dressed as Indiana Jones, head-to-toe - hat, whip, and all. They also had live reptiles for a bit of a Show & Tell kind of thing, where you could pet them afterward. The movie itself was a huge disappointment, in my opinion, but it was a fun time.
The second time I was here was just recently to see Inception in 3-D. We were shown an electronic seating chart so that we could pick our seats, and we chose whatever the lady suggested for best IMAX viewing. They called it IMAX 3-D, but it honestly just wasn't. We didn't get the glasses or anything, like some places have. The theatre was definitely set up so that it would be 3-D, but we saw absolutely no difference. The screen itself wasn't great, either. You could even see the dust particles and rips and tears. The movie was fantastic, but we had hoped for a better viewing experience. -

Silvercity Gloucester offers a larger selection of movies than any other Ottawa theatre. They also own the only IMAX in the city, which makes this place a big attraction if a 3-D or big budget movie comes out. Their prices are moderate ($10 for an adult) and they have an arcade and numerous food stands for patrons.
However, their staff is usually slow and the location is slightly out of the city, but it can easily be reached by the 417 or Transitway. The major drawback comes when you need to wait awhile before a movie starts. Your options are killing time in the Gloucester Centre or Chapters. I suggest Chapters since there's very little at the mall except Nihao Tea.
Probably the most unique feature of this theatre is that it screens Metropolitan Opera performances every other Saturday at noon on their IMAX. They also occasionally air WWE fights and concerts. -

I don't feel the other reviews do SilverCity Gloucester justice. This is absolutely the staple theater if you live anywhere that might be considered on the east end of town. Orleans now has two other theaters, but I'm pretty sure most people will still go to SC (the empire parking lot is pretty empty whenever I'm back in town). This place is PACKED every Tuesday/Friday during the summer. On multiple occasions, my friends and I have gotten here to see that a movie we didn't expect to be sold out was sold out.
There's no better movie theater in Ottawa. SC has the largest selection of movies, and always makes sure that people have a chance to see the blockbusters when they come out by adjusting showings appropriately. For Harry Potter 7 Part 2, they had 5 midnight showings and 20+ showings during the day. Yes, you'll find better theaters in Toronto (a few) and the states, but no way should South Keys have a higher rating than SC Gloucester.
In the same block, there's a Future Shop, Chapters/Starbucks, Moxies, Montanas, East Side Marios, and Timmies around where you can hang out before and after the movie.
Also doesn't hurt that there's a Bulk Barn across the street and the staff pretty much turn a blind eye when you're bringing in your food =). -

I was not impressed. I recently went to see Tron in IMAX 3D. Being that this is the only Cineplex IMAX screen, and had the best showtime, I was happy to see it. The theatre's sound is excellent, but I've certainly been to better visual IMAX experiences in Toronto. The screen felt smaller than the usual IMAX, and the quality wasn't great. What REALLY bothered me was there were flies in the projection room! We would regularly see flies land, crawl and disappear on the screen. It was very distracting. They should invest in a can of Raid!!
