  You can only purchase tickets from the concession - there’s no separate ticket line or machines. At 2.30 on a Saturday there were two open tills each with 25+ people in line buying snacks. Arrived at 2.30 for a 2.45 movie and left at 2.50 as it was going to be another 20 minutes minimum to buy tickets. Next time I will arrive at least an hour early.

  I understand they want to sell snacks but making everyone wait in the snack line just to be able to see the movie is a bit too much.

  The screen sizes are standard but the room itself is smaller with a lower number of seats that are spaciously arranged; so you're not too close to your neighbours, but aren't far out of reach from your film buddies. The seats themselves are large, silent, electric recliners, which will make the film going experience enjoyable regardless of where you sit, it even makes front row (there are no front pit seats) more than bearable. The design and aim behind the seating here is to provide the best possible experience for the audience rather than packing in viewership. The picture quality is excellent, and the sound is balanced and crisp, no jarring, bombastic audio. All in all, two thumbs up!

  I like the seats they're very comfortable but when maxed recline is at an awkward spot for me and my husband. The facility is always clean, the popcorn good, the drinks good. There is NO refills here! The staff is slow and the line moves slow so make sure to arrive early anticipating that. We're use to the theatres in Campbell where the service is excellent and there's hardly any lines.

  A much nicer alternative to the theaters up island. Makes the drive from Courtenay worth it. Recliner seats are almost too comfortable as I have fallen asleep while watching a movie there.

  Great place to build and spend our SCENE points.

  Decent little theatre. Nice to go to every once in awhile. Love the reclining seats!! But like all theatres these days, it’s an expensive activity if you go “all in” because a drink and popcorn costs more than a ticket (unless you buy the vouchers from Costco...)

  Great little theatre! Pleasant staff, well maintained, (ie. clean, both in the lobby and the theatres) full concession, an arcade containing classics and new games alike, and all the latest blockbusters with reserved seating. This is not a VIP or alcohol serving theatre.
