SHOCK & FRAUD

May 18, 2025

In January 2025, the APOLLO CINEMA was sold to anonymous buyers. This was done quietly, without explanation nor any notice to members. No explanation has been given nor posted about the direction the theatre will be taking. There has been no communi- cation with members, period .Everything that is posted on their website is from the previous owners and is now false. The APOLLO is exclusively showing regional BOLLYWOOD films in Hindi & Tamil. There is no English language programming nor is there any of the creative, innovative programming that the APOLLO CINEMA has been known for these past 10 years. Like many others, aI renewed my membership for the year, totally unaware of these changes. I have emailed them twice, requesting a refund because I want to experience the APOLLO as it was. I want to see HOLLYWOOD films, Indie films, cult classics, retro, sing- alongs, etc. esp. in English. I want a refund. The APOLLO has not responded.They are being disre- spectful, duplicitous and fraudulent towards its members. They are keeping membership money under false pretenses. If they have no intention of showing any films other than BOLLYWOOD films, they have an obligation to refund money paid for a membership. Why are the owners anonymous? What is going on? I am not supporting this cinema and I do not recommend it to anyone. If it can treat its "members" so disrespectfully and dishonestly, no one should support it. Until THE APOLLO can be transparent and upfront about its business goals it is not a trustworthy business. Stay home and stream or take a trip to Toronto or Guelph. They have honest independent cinemas offering a range of films, including Hollywood films. Oh, forget about PRINCESS CINEMAS in Waterloo. Read my posts on GOOGLE MAPS on both PRINCESS CINEMAS and THE APOLLO!

Best theatre in KW by far!!

August 25, 2017

Great movies, staff is awesome, you can have a meal and a beer while watching your movie, the seats are sooo comfy. My favourite part is all the leg room and half the seats have little tables for your snacks! We need to support this theatre because it is wonderful and I don't want to lose it!

Great Night Out

August 16, 2017

Went out with my wife to see The Big Sick. It was my first time there. What a great theatre. Doesn't look like a big box theatre, a bit more unique. We ordered food and glasses of wine to our seats. Screen was a good size and sound was solid. We're definitely going to be back.

Movies as They Were Always Meant To Be Experienced

February 04, 2017

My fantasy theatre - this is it. Great sight lines, big comfy seats, lots of room between rows, little tables for your drinks and snacks, and a huge wide screen. It just doesn't get any better than this.

A Blast from the Past

May 13, 2015

Hey folks. Do any of you remember the "Odeon Hyland" on Ontario Street in Kitchener? I never new why it shut down but it is now open under the name "Apollo" and it looks and feels better than before.

great experience

Comfortable, leg stretching seats with bistro tables on hand for your glass of beer or wine from the concession. Christie Digital screen is amazing with an incredible sound system. Convincing enough to buy a membership? Yes!
