It just fine

January 28, 2015

It's a good outing every once in awhile. They can't possibly get all the latest top shows as they have only 3 theatres!!! I think they do a pretty good job of balancing the different types of movies. They can't possibly please all people all the time. My wife and I end up going to the show about every 3 weeks. That's about 17 movies per year. As far as bring in young children's shows for two weeks, good on them to allow young families a chance to get out with their kids. Over all and considering we live in a smaller community I'm ok with the over all experience at the Cardium theatre. Quit your belly aching !!!! Enjoy the fact that you have 3 choices of movies it could be none.

Need more movies

August 16, 2013

I would go every week if they played new movies every week, I hate it when they show re-runs of movies.

Well, I'm not driving to edmonton tonight

As far as small town theaters go, this isn't the worst. The building is set up appropriately to be a movie theater but it just isn't the experience expected. Popcorn is always stale, the butter and 'real butter' price difference doesn't match up with the old, rancid taste of either butters. Most of the staff are preteens who show a lack of knowledge of food handling safety. They look unwashed, dig their hands into every food item, and look like they would be sticky. For the prices of concessions being higher than the nearby city, I would expect at least $5 go towards soap for their employees. In addition to that, they only have about 2 showings of the manager's favorite movies at the time. Yet, the floor is always sticky, carpet stained and coated with 'real' butter, and there are odd smells coming from each theater. If it wasn't the only option within an hour's drive, this theater wouldn't see my business.

Meh

May 12, 2015

Popcorn is always stale, butter and "real butter" taste terrible, bathrooms are definitely not the cleanest, floor is always sticky and there is normally a lot of garbage. Most of the staff are young teens who don't look like they have very much knowledge about anything such as handling food. Their hands look dirty all the time and the are always digging around in the popcorn. The movie line ups are also not that great. Prices, as always, are another problem. It should not be $100 dollars for my family of three to see a movie.

Doesn't have any movies!!

July 27, 2013

They keep some movies in for 3 weeks at a time and then don't play some at all. I'm always waiting and waiting for a movie to come out and when it finally does... it's not in this theater!

Not impressed

November 05, 2015

The staff at the theatre neglected to close the doors of the theatre when the shows began. So unfortunately during the quiet dialogue scenes all I could hear was the commercials playing in the theatre next door. I walked out, because I missed dialogue that seemed important to the story. I'm sure glad I purchased $15 worth of popcorn and pop and almost as much on a movie ticket to watch 15 minutes of advertising and about 5 minutes of the film. Not impressed

Poorly run theatre

October 26, 2015

Line ups for concession very long ( to back exit doors) one till open, with three to four people working . Would it not be beneficial to have two tills open to keep the lines moving faster ? The theatres have a distinct odor, the floors are dirty, bathrooms are as well

Really bad movie line ups

August 30, 2013

I would go to the movies more often but they never bring things in. It took them 2 weeks to bring Elysium in and it was gone within a week and they kept Smurfs 2 for 2 weeks. If I want to see any current movies when they are new I have to drive at least an hour out of town.
