Decent theater with large screen sizes and clear sound systems. There are 2-3 genuinely large screens at this theater. Also available is UltraAVX with crystal clear image and lively surround sound system. Much hasn't been done to update the theater though. Seats are getting uncomfortable due to countless uses by people (I can feel the springs boinging on some seats). There are some permanent stain marks on the floor. Sometimes it's too cold during summer seasons while sometimes it's too hot during winter season.
The seats are standard Famous Players affair. There is somewhat decent amount of legroom. The width is a bit lacking. So you might feel the person next to you might be sitting a bit close. But there won't be any visibility problems from random people's heads in front of you since there is more than enough incline. Seats have generous cushion.
I don't know about you, but I've encountered many annoying audiences at this theater over the years. Talking, fights, phone ringing, heavy breathing, snoring, feet on my shoulder, coughing on my head, teen girls, teen boys, texting, giggling, chair pushing, narrator who tells his buddy every single thing that happens in the movie even though they are watching the same thing together, etc.
On a bright side, it is located in a mall. So you can kill time while waiting for the movie. Too bad dining option is underwhelming (Moxie's is good though). Parking is a bit of a hassle too. There are always too many cars on the lot. -

This was the first cinema I visited in the GTA and back then I loved it, but now it's age is showing just a tiny bit and when I came to watch a movie here a few days ago (for the first time in a year or so) I could definitely say that the theatre I was in had yet to make the change to digital cinema, which is no big deal for a small indie flick but when you go in looking for mindless CGI, you want to make sure that the sound and picture quality are the best possible and unfortunately this Silvercity does not deliver as well as some of the others in Toronto.
As far as food options go, you get more than the typical concession stand and in what is one of few bright spots about this place; that they have a Tim Hortons, a chocolate dip to go with your movie? Sounds about right...right?
I can't argue with the location, it's great for people that live in this area and very easy and accessible thanks to the highways around here and being attached to the mall makes a dinner and a movie night very easy here. -

This place is in need of a serious re-design. On it's busiest night (Saturday) we found ourselves in a terrible crowd of people trying to buy tickets. A lot of people, surprisingly, still stand in the actual ticket line (I think they just should get rid of them and have kiosks all over).
There are some kiosks around, but line ups meet each other in a jumbled mess, you feel like you're in a nightclub trying to get through.
It doesn't help that the soft ware isn't very responsive, and there are people out that have no idea how to use the machines.
Lots of food options, including usually hotdog, nachos and popcorn. There's a Tim's and a Burger King.
The chairs are the usual stadium seating, an nowadays I prefer to sit as far away from the screen as possible.
The cinema also has UltraAVX reserved seating cinemas (and I strongly believe all cinemas need reserved seating).
Parking upstairs is free, you just need to pass the loitering teenagers smoking outside.
