This is not my favourite Theatre,I only come here if Paramount or Rainbow Cinema is not carrying the movie I like or compulsive quick decision to watch the movie,overall I just came here thrice in my life time.Expensive,Small Theatre,is not close where I live.Staff is O.K. service but the good thing about this location is convenient for shopping right after the movie,restaurant,coffee shop,many interesting to see in this high end area in GTA.
I recommend this place.

3 out of 8 people found this review helpful. The movies being played aren't very indie or exclusive.

The movie ticket is the same as the Paramount.

So just go to the Paramount which is a much better experience.

The only reason you would go here was if you didn't want to walk to the Varsity.

The only thing is that around film festival time each year it seems to just play obscure movies.

I recommend this place.

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Varsity is great because it is so close to where I live. Prices are on the high end as far as movie theatres go ($13.50) but the theatres are nice, with comfortable chairs.

You can also try Varsity V.I.P. - which is basically a smaller theatre with bigger seats, fewer people and apparently they serve you some kind of beverage before the film. When I tried it we came in too late for this but overall I would say it's not worth the extra money.

I recommend this place.

2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. I prefer this movie theatre over any others downtown Toronto. The seats are comfy. The staff is friendly and helpful. The VIP rooms are really cool! You have your very own hostess. No need to stand in line to order popcorn and drinks! Very roomy! You could book them for corporate events or parties.
I recommend this place.

3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Great theatre although old style seating and smaller screens but it is kept very clean and the staff are excellent.
The VIP rooms are great to watch a movie in but you have to pay for it ($15/ticket).

I recommend this place.

1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. I go here quite often as its about a 3 minute walk from where I am. I like all the theatres except #8, which is their biggest cinema - the steaing in it is rather crappy. The rest are all top notch and very comfortable.

They also have a separate VIP room - smaller screens, but a capacity of maybe 20 people. Watched a movie there, and while expensive, was a real good time.

I recommend this place.
