Fine theatre but no interval in movies and IMax not available

July 25, 2023

I've gone there a few times now. Watched The Flash with a D-Box seat and it was a lot of fun. However, would love to have intervals during movies, otherwise it gets overbearing. And there is no IMax option which would elevate the watching experience so much more.

where is security!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

February 06, 2019

I have had my vehicle vandalized two times, and everytime I approach the silvercity staff and management, they don't care. They refuse to do anything about it. How sad, as long as you're making money I guess that is all that matters, obviously not the safety of the people that keep you in business. On a regular basis there are ppl there who are wandering around checking peoples vehicle doors and even when it is locked they smash to gain accesses. SILVERCITY YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OR YOURSELVES, DONT BE SOOOO CHEAP AND GET SECURITY SO THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO ENJOY A MOVIE CAN DO SO KNOWING THEY ARE SAFE.!!!!!!!!!!

A Standard Theater with Pleasant Staff

March 28, 2018

I'm a huge movie buff so I'm here almost every week. Out of the 50 times I've been there in my life the theater has been unacceptably unclean about 5-6 times. Concession prices are a rip off anywhere you go so that's nothing new. Every staff encounter has always been a friendly one and have never been spoken rudely to. I've had 5 movies start however without the lights in the cinema turing off where someone had to leave the movie to grab a staff member to turn off the lights. Overall my experience with Silvercity Thunder Bay has been a pleasant experience . 4/5

Good times

June 06, 2017

Never experienced most of the issues people are complaining about, except for the odd persons having their cell phones out. Been to several movie theatres around Canada and the U.S. And this theatre is on par with or in better shape than most. There aren't many theatres where you can see movies at this low of admission prices. The concession stand prices are no higher than anywhere else either. If people have concerns about security then they should speak to a manager or the police if they have been threatened or have their vehicles broken into.

Need to Review Pandemic Protocols

September 27, 2020

Sadly their overly strict protocol is not encouraging people to come to the theatre during the pandemic. There were only 4 people in our theatre, and the worker came in and accosted us about sitting one row further back which of course was even further from the other 2 people. Tickets should be scanned as people are coming in and not while people are seated as physical distancing is not being respected. The food outlets were not open for the most part. I think they should check to make sure everyone is spaced within theatres, but they should not be quibbling about small variations. Also, why can't the back row be available for heaven's sake. Anyway, I can't see myself going back for a long time after this very negative experience. Perhaps Cineplex could learn from Landmark who is doing quite a good job based on my experience in Manitoba during the summer.

Where are the hand rails

August 09, 2023

I have some mobility issues and walk with a cane. Once entering the theatre I was shocked to see that there was no hand rails to help people with mobility problems get to their seats. If not for my son I wouldn’t have been able to climb up stairs to my seat. I did notice handicap seats at the lower level but not everyone with mobility issues are in a wheel chair some of us are quite able to climb a set of stairs if properly fitted with a handrail, which I have expected in many other movie theatres. Dangerous……

Not exactly the best. Rather pricey for the food, I see they clean after every movie but it still could be more tidy. Friendly service and my fiancee and I do enjoy the short movies they have before the featured film, we find they are age appropriate for the film we're there to see. We also enjoy the trivia and I enjoy the magazines but for the price of the drinks and food, one would hope to get at least a "complimentary" souvenir cup and whatever dish the food comes in. My family and I do really love that they kept their customers comfort in mind when designing the theater rooms. Rounded screens, convenient cup holders and comfy seats:-)Although I wish this theater was located in a safer area. I prefer night shows but I would go during the day when it's safer. Having lived in the area once before, my fiancee and I have been approached by many unsavory people asking for things and offering favors which should only be mentioned to people who are in a relationship of that sort with that individual. I would strongly suggest security to help keep your customers safe from danger, their vehicles from vandalism, including robbery. Hard to keep customers if they keep getting attacked by gangs and crazies with knives. How many families avoid coming here to keep their children safe? We won't bring our daughter here and the baby we're expecting won't be going either. -4 right there, times that by 20 families who haven't commented. But we really do like the decor hanging in the main lobby.
