Popcorn too salty

January 05, 2015

Our last experience to the movies was on Christmas Eve. We do not go often so when we go we so look forward to the whole experience. The popcorn was soooo salty and a total disappointment. And prices have gone up at the concession stand. The movie of course was great.

Filthy terrible experience!

December 23, 2014

I have been going to this theatre for years and over the years the only changes I have seen with this theatre has been the age and condition of the theatre declining. Tonight was the last time we will attend this location! Cineplex has purchased it, made no upgrades and prices have went up. The place was filthy from the entrance to the theatre room. Washrooms were disgusting and we did have to bring this to the attention of the manager who seemed to show little concern other than to say he would get someone on it. Stalls had urine, feces and even a large amount of blood down the front of a toilet. Just terrible conditions and no excuse for this! It wasn't even busy this evening. There are many theatres that keep things up and are clean. We will be choosing another location for future outings!

Freezing Temperature

November 19, 2014

Tonight I went to see St Vincent in theater #2 with a friend.....it was freezing, we have been home an hour and are still cannot get warm I mentioned to an employee & she said she thought they were working on it, if that is right you had no business putting people in there. It was uncomfortable and very distracting from the movie......please have more respect for people who pay to go sit and watch a movie in comfort.....

It is easier to contact Obama rather than contact the person in charge for the parties

August 29, 2014

I went two times and left two messages one of them with the manager to make the lady responsible of the party to contact me but she did not , because it is impossible to be able to reach her by phone . I am very upset of this service especially this my son wish in his birthday.

Worst movie experience I ever had.

August 11, 2014

My wife and I went to see into the storm on Friday night. First off I called in the afternoon to make sure my Empire tickets that I had received as a Christmas gift was valid and not considered a pass. I was told yes they are valid and I can use them for the movie. Now my wife and I go to the theater and get in the lineup for treats and drinks. We ended up getting in the slowest possible lineup as the person behind the counter was slower than the hinges of you know what. I complained to someone regarding this however she continued to stay and her speed did not get any better after 25 minutes of waiting in her lineup and there were 7 to 8 people in front of us we moved to a second lineup. we actually ended up getting served before the person who was in front of us in the slower line - absolutely ridiculous and terrible service. now we order our food and I present our tickets and guess what I am told that these tickets are no longer any good I said why not they have an expiring date of June 2015 and I was advised they no longer honor tickets purchased in the name of Empire theaters. This is ridiculous Cineplex purchased Empire theaters and should automatically honor all tickets sold in the name of Empire. This is just the another way for them to make money by not honoring these tickets and making you buy new tickets. I said no I want to speak to management I never did get to speak to management because they then decided to give my wife and I free complementary tickets to the movie. Now they are trying to save face because several people from several lines have been watching and listening to what was being said. Time since we entered the theater has now taken longer than one half hour. Anyway we also ordered two poutines and proceeded to the counter to pick them up. there we waited for over 10 minutes. Time now has exceeded 40 minutes since coming into the theater. again worst movie experience we ever had. We were very embarrassed by the way we were treated

Very disappointing!!!

May 19, 2014

The graphics in the movie was fantastic but the service was terrible and very disappointing. First off, I was told that my daughter, 13 years old, had to pay the adult fee which is not what the website says. I even got the clerk to ask the manager and he said she had to pay $14.99 for a 3d film. Then the girl forgot to scan my scene card and when I mentioned it to her, she said I would have to do it myself online because she had already finish the transaction. Which also meant, that I lost my 10 percent discount on the popcorn and two pop I purchased. The theater wasnt cleaned so we were told me would wait 10 minutes to get in which turned out to be 30 minutes. And to top it all off, the power went out during the movie so we sat about 10 minutes listening to the movie and not watching it. When the movie was rewound, it wasn't rewound to the part that it stopped, so we missed a very critical point to the movie. No one came in to offer us a free pass for another movie or even explain to the crowd what had taken place. If i my business like that, I would be "out" of business! I would to be compensated for tonight's movie!!!

Thank you!

Thank you for buying the awful Empire theatres! Now I can finally collect Scene points again and enjoy movies like I used to. It's the same staff, so anyone who says the service is worse is an idiot.

worst designed website

December 25, 2013

All I want to know is the price of a senior movie ticket and what age do you consider a seniors age requirement. Your website is not user friendly to seniors. What are you going to do when all the baby boomers are seniors?
