Good Local Cinema

November 30, 2024

The Varsity occasionally features non-mainstream movies, sometimes the same ones you see at Tiff. Everything you'd expect at a Cineplex with a little extra.

Too hot

January 30, 2024

Theatres are just too hot, dust non, circulated air, stifling, number 8 must cost them as pretty penny to keep it at this extreme temps, please turn the heat down.

Terrible Theatre

January 17, 2023

Saw top gun maverick in the VIP. Screen is 25 years old and the door let in the sound from the lobby of TV's on and people ordering from the concessions. The main auditorium seats are old and low and it smells of mildew. The bathrooms have super flushers so the floor is covered with water or worse. All in all my absolute last choice of a theatre. They had three years of covid to fix it up with the rest of the building and all they did was add concessions.

Squeaky seats

February 10, 2022

We avoid Odeon when possible. Squeaky seats make for a very uncomfortable movie experience and they charge extra for seats and concessions. Go to Imagine Theatres for luxury reclining chairs.

sad changes for the worse

November 25, 2019

This was my go to movie theatre but no longer, cancellation of matinees to accommodate construction has gone on too long, food choices discriminate against anyone with any special dietary needs needs such a diabetics - no more sugar free yogurt since Yogen Fruz was changed to new concession - this theatre attracted many seniors who would have appreciated the choice. Unfortunately some of the concessions in the mall have also changed which reduces choices of food and beverage to that only available in the theatre - c'mon guys, bring back a decent movie going experience.

Seating choices are terrible

November 11, 2019

Legroom in the VIP cinemas is insufficient and cramped, and the "prime seating" in other auditoriums are a stupid idea as the restrictions aren't enforced. As a result, anyone can sit in them. Why would anyone pay more for their seats when patrons beside them didn't?

Bad experience

July 27, 2019

Had to pick a seat to see Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hope this is not a new requirement. Just let people sit where available when enter theatre so they can decide based on whether tall person in front of them, talkative person behind them as I experienced throughout entire movie, etc. People were coming in late, turning on lights to find assigned seat, climbing over people, even though most of theatre was empty. Dumb idea, please stop or I’ll choose another theatre to go to movies. Ok to have a reserved small section but not as a requirement for all.

No more afternoons on Monday vies :(

January 22, 2019

This was my favourite theatre in Toronto. I loved taking an afternoon off work and watching an early afternoon movie. That option no longer exists :(. Going downtown, and dealing with rush hour on the way home after the movie is less appealing. Bring back afternoon shows!

Poor reserved seats practice.

January 05, 2019

Reserved seats locations need to be better indicated , e.g cordon off, different upholstery colour , bigger signs. People seat there by accident and are kicked out with no other seats available to seat , as it happened to us. Result? leaving the theatre disappointed and never going back!!
