It's ok the mall is dated and the neighborhood well is what it is. The seats were comfy and it was clean inside the theatre.

Free 2 hour parking, the nicest staff, always clean, exceptional and speedy service, made me feel safe and welcomed. Thanks to the team there! The VAFF screening was extraordinary. A great place to host a private screening.

Place is clean, I find the seats are tight. No issue with car parking, as they have plenty in the mall parking. Just don't park outside coz its not a very safe place especially at night.

I love this theatre, lots of character. Walking through the mall to get there is always a treat because it's so weird and kind of dated (the neon everywhere). The escalator to the theatre itself though is terrifying.

If you want to watch a movie and not being pressure by a big crowd, this is the place you want to go.

Great cinema.great location and kept nice and clean. The seats and comfortable (unlike the Scotia Theatre where the seats and springy and uncomfortable)

It was not nearly as complicated to get in as we thought it might be.
The staff was very helpful in validating the vaccine passport and ID with minimal confusion or difficulties.

Though this theatre is small they offer the most selection in the entire GVA, instead of taking up 5 theatres with one film every one of their screens plays a different film. This theatre offers the $7 flashback films with new selections every week. Their arcade is old and only runs on tokens but their updated drink machines offers dozens of drink flavors to choose from. Great place to grab a Vanilla Coke and watch an old movie on the cheap.

Customer service seemed she lacked kindness, at least smile a bit, I clearly asked for a large drink with my order, she didn't hear that, so had to reuse card payment, asked for butter 1/2 way through bag popcorn and on top as well.my popcorn seemed quite dry with no butter. Asked for a bit butter in a cup.she tried recharging me for it, told her I requested extra in my popcorn, but was so dry!
Other than that, nice quiet theatre.

Very friendly staff. Disability seating is not within touching distance of the screen (thankfully).
30 August 2021 21:27
Certain seats are getting old and busted but this particular theater has the old school movie theatre feel to it. So it's always a nice visit. And they play different movies usually then the mainstream theatres.
30 August 2021 14:38
The experience was good. We went to watch Godzilla vs King Kong. The seats reclined okay but the mall actually closed at 9pm. We sound and the picture quality was good, me and my wife had a good time there. One of the few movie theatres (cineplex) in downtown. Given a chance I would go back to the theatre again as the tickets were also on the cheaper side ($14).
22 August 2021 5:24
Seats are mostly damaged in Aud 09
Quality of popcorn is not the same as other Cineplex
Sound system was horrible at Aud 09
No sign or direction on the main floor where the theatre is located

So nice to be back in theaters again, and this one happens to be one of my favorites. Often showing movies no other theater would and supporting many many many foreign films, this theater always has a unique list to choose from.
A great place to go for a show, and their covid regulations are on point!

The screen was small and sound was lackluster. I guess I'm just used to the nicer Cineplex theatres.

Late at night, I went out to the lobby to discuss a concern with a manager. It was after all showtimes had started, so the lobby was cleared out. After several minutes of looking around the theater, I couldn’t find an employee anywhere. There were open doors all over the place to concessions, back rooms, etc, but even after poking my head in to ask if anyone was there, absolute silence. Where’s the staff?
16 April 2020 4:30
A good cinema with nice eateries just outside the theatre. It was a weekday when we came, so it was really quiet and I truly enjoyed it. The place was clean and security is good.
04 April 2020 10:38
While rather small, this is still a multiplex, with 12 theatres inside. 8 and 9 are the biggest, but I can usually find a decent seat in any theatre. The seats are not that comfortable, but this place does show a lot of indie flicks not found anywhere, so I quite like it. Since it is located inside the International Village, there are quite a bit of food option, so one can avoid the overpriced concession stand here.

It was amazing to try the VIP section for the first time. There's a lounge before the theatre where you get to relax and have some drinks and food. After you settle in the comfy gigantic chairs that reclines, you will share a table with the seat next to you so you can keep drinking and eating while watching the movie on an amazing screen and two real surround sound
28 March 2020 16:24
This is a nice movie complex and free parking for cinema patrons. Seating is done in away where everyone gets a good view, sound is good too.
21 June 2019 16:32
The movie theatres are fine but nothing special. Keep in mind that you get free parking for the first three hours, which is great.

Not many people come to this theater so it's not as crowded at Scotiabank on burrard. Watched how to trian your dragon here and loved it. If you are hoarding Cineplex points, can use it towards free movies and $5 discount on food (500scene points)

When myself and my son went to watch a cartoon 2ladies and one man were getting verbally aggressive and I stuck up for myself and my son! They were telling him to shut up because he was laughing and having fun watching this cartoon! Come on! A cartoon with older people and a man in his 40s! So the Cineplex gave us a free entry card for our next visit plus viewed the people and told them not to go to baby/children movie because they will see children laughing and having fun! Thanks Cineplex ️
11 May 2019 18:05
Meh, the other cineplex theaters have better sound. Also you can feel the vibrations from the other rooms
10 May 2019 14:50
It was an ok experience. Half the concession registers were closed which made for really long lines on a Friday night. But I'm happy they have free parking!

Jennifer was working the ticket booth on March 23rd at 9pm.

I was going to watch a movie with a friend of mine so looking forward to a nice evening. Upon paying for my movie I wanted to scan my Scene card on my phone as I don’t carry the physical card with me (Who Does?), her scanner wouldn’t scan it and tried multiple times. She started to get irritated and said I wouldn’t be able to get my points. She didn’t provide me with a solution and I was a little confused as movies are not cheap. So after fiddling around a bit I asked if there was another way to redeem my points. She was snarky in saying I should call customer service to hopefully be able to correct it. She had no intention of providing me with a solution.

Upon going into the theatre I got popcorn and asked the agent to try scanning my card again and it worked no problem. I laughed to myself and my friend.

My real feedback here is yes I understand technology fails us sometimes. I manage retail store myself and understand that. Jennifer just needs an attitude adjustment and maybe should know that her attitude rubs off on the people she serves.

If you don’t like what you do, then please don’t take it out on the people that are trying to enjoy themselves.

We had a great time and the movie was great. The theatre is a bit rundown along with the mall. That’s the least of my worries, you have more control over the people you hire and how they treat the clients that pay and decide on whether or not they return.

I hope Jennifer reads this.

They show more obscure movies that aren't shown at the other theatres.
They have Timeplay which would be a redeeming feature had they had not reduced the prize value tremendously. There's a small arcade of games from decades past. They have a coke free-style machine. There are stairs, escalators and elevators to get to the theatre. The chairs are fine and there are cup holders on the arm rests.

One spot inside the actual theater (#6) smells stronly like pee. Up where we were sitting was fine, you'd think they would rug doctor it or something. I love the seats though, very tall person friendly, bathroom was clean but could use another one or more stalls.

Went to the BTS Love Yourself in Seoul showing at 4: 30 pm today. Absolutely horrific. People were screaming and lighting up their lightsticks, and talking non-stop throughout the movie. There wasn't a single employee around to re-enforce rules, so I ended up telling people myself to respect other movie-goers by turning off their lightsticks and keeping their chanting and screaming to a minimum. Of course, because I wasn't an employee, they responded by cussing me out before screaming and screeching even more. Completely ruined the experience for me.

Very reliable movie venue. Comfy seats, lots of leg room. Good sight lines for any film. Individual cinemas are well marked and easy to locate. Option available for purchasing tickets using the self serve kiosk one floor down near the food court if there is a long queue at the box office.
26 April 2019 19:53
Great vibe and service definitely coming back to this restaurant we really enjoyed the tasty food they have and looking forward to try more! Our waitress took care of us 100%
23 April 2019 13:29
This theater definitely needs renovations. The seats were worn down but the overall theater space was clean. The movie selection here is not the largest and the greatest since they don't play the largest blockbuster movies here. Service is average, but it didn't seem like the employees were happy. It's located in a considerably sketchy area, so be careful by locking your car doors if you're parking downstairs (free parking) and not leaving any valuables in there. Also, as other reviews have mentioned, avoid the McDonalds downstairs.

I like cineplex oden ive been going there since it was called tinseltown. The food there is pretty decent for the doller it costs
10 February 2019 17:52
A convenient location to watch movies. Pretty clean location. Recent upgrades with comfortable chairs.
30 January 2019 14:22
Saw The World of Marwen. The seats were very comfy, almost fell asleep! Clean, yummy treats, great company and a good show.
27 January 2019 5:19
The theater #5 had no "soundproofing" sound from next theater movie playing was a full action film. Also I was disappointed with the lack of choices at the concession. Having to grab Hotdogs + Pop only. And the positive was the Movie price. With many different genres. C. D.

The Cineplex Odeon-International Village Cinemas is one of our favorite places to grab a bite to eat in the food court on the second floor before heading up to the multi screen theatre one more floor up. (Accessible by elevator or escalator. The staff are first class, always a smile and a sense of humor while providing good service. The theatre has multiple large screens and a small group of us often catch the afternoon movies here. The cinemas is located at the entrance to Vancouver's famous China Town and the China Town Gate is a half block away which makes for some great dining after the movies. Our favorite movie complex in Vancouver.
23 January 2019 20:20
Probably my favourite Cineplex theatre in the lower mainland. They always manage the perfect balance of more popular and smaller, more indie offerings when most theatres tend to skew heavily in one direction or the other.
21 January 2019 21:34
The mall that this cinema is in was near empty when we went on a Sunday early afternoon. The cinema itself was pretty decent. I liked that the seats were leatherette and not cloth like some of the older theatres out there.
16 January 2019 14:12
Went to see a showing of A Star is Born. There was an altercation with an intoxicated patron and the movie had to be stopped. Props to the management, staff, and security who handled everything so professionally and de escalated the situation.
13 January 2019 20:11
Yes it's a movie theatre in the downtown area but movie experience is sub par according to today's standards. Which is fine but then general admission should not be $13.25, it should be half of this.
28 December 2018 23:06
Quiet theater that serves up some of the more artsy, non-serious movies. Interior needs to be spruced up a bit
25 December 2018 23:30
It is the spitting image of every other big movie theatre on the planet. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible.
