Too many 3D movies

December 17, 2015

Too many times me and my family, numerous time just have to go home after finding out Castlegar Cinama ticket booth mostly plays annoying 3D moves which have loss of definition. A Fad that has been dropped at major theatres other than this small town. Such a waste of a Theater

Anything other than theater 1 and 2 are terrible

April 20, 2018

Theater 1 and 2 are ok (barely)but 3,4,5 just wait until it comes out on video. Seats are terrible compared to any modern theater. Screens small. Sound blah. No other options in this town. We go to Kelowna or Spokane to see any big movie. Please update this theater. Emberassing to this community

worst checkin and worst concession value

Very disappointed with check in line up time only one cash. Extremely let down with concession values. Theaters are known for concession gouging but this theater is terrible.

No care for customers! Only one-ticket line-up!

September 20, 2013

Often you will wait in line forever and still be late for the movie because they only have one till for selling tickets! Ridiculous! They need to get some automatic check in or on line purchase happening. Go to Nelson if at all possible!

Worst Customer Service

December 27, 2014

Decided to take our grandchildren to a matinee yesterday. In total there were 6 children and four adults. By the time we paid for tickets and treats we had spent almost $150. One of our grandsons is 4 and wanted ice tea for his drink. It came in a very large bottle that he would not be able to manage. We asked for a cup so that we could pour some in and he could drink through a straw. We were told that they don't give out cups. Could understand this if we had just walked up to the counter and asked but we asked as we were purchasing the drink. The child who was waiting on us was quite rude and when finally out of frustration I said I would buy a damn small pop with no pop in it, he told me there was no need to be abusive. I paid $3 for an empty cup so that my grandson could enjoy his drink. The frustrating thing is that putting it in a cup was as much for their protection as his. I am sure it would have cost much more to clean the seat after he spilled all over it, than the 2 cents the cup cost. The $3 I spent on the cup is the last dollar they will ever see from this family!!!!!!!!

False Advertising

January 12, 2014

We drove twice to see a movie. The first time we missed it because we didn't look up the time. The second time we didn't get to see it after we drove in the pouring snow because they weren't even playing it. We checked the website and called and they both said that it played on that day at 6:15! We go there and they weren't even open. Then the boss lady said that if we actually listened to the end of the message, it said our movie was not playing. Well why would your website and the automated voice message say that it is?! RIDICULOUS! I have no choice but to go to this messed up theatre because they offer more varieties but if I have to go through another situation like this again...oh boy....Also, the concession is overpriced and sketchy.

ATM charges

February 16, 2014

Of course they don't accept credit or debit cards, but oh so convenient they have an ATM right there so they can charge you another 3$ for fees. I will never return to this theatre in my lifetime!!

Worst theatre in the area.

April 07, 2019

Uncomfortable seats, poor sound quality, 3d is really bad on their small screens, overpriced snacks. Last time I was there one of the screens had an old drink stain on it (been that way for years). There are far better theatre options available in the area.

Want better movies

January 04, 2017

I like going to the theatre, but there hasn't been anything worth watching since "Sully." (In my opinion, of course.) Can you not get movies that are not action, not animated---i.e. some good drama without violence?
