Bravo Scotiabank theater

May 05, 2019

I went to see Shazam at Scotiabank theater . First off the lights stayed on in the theater for about 5 minutes into the film ,until another patron advised them of their goof . Then halfway into the film , the movie froze up , and then went black , never to come on again . This could've been a real piss off but ,to Scotiabank theaters credit they gave every patron 2 courtesy passes for future use . Bravo Scotia bank ! good move on your part .

Nacho cheese sauce tastes like the plastic container it is served to you in

September 22, 2014

I recently went to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 3D. The whole movie myself and my husband were able to hear the audio from the movie in the next theater. Very disturbing while trying to watch the movie. Also we ordered popcorn and nacho cheese sauce. Our movie was for 9:55 pm friday evening. The theater was pretty busy so I'm confused on the food preparation. Popcorn was stale and cold and the worst part was the nacho cheese sauce it had been heated so much that it tasted like the plastic container it was served in. Overall very disapointing evening to the movies for my husband and me. I wanted you to be aware as I hope change can be done to that location. Thank you.

Terrible experience at the concession booth

October 24, 2017

There was approximately 50 people in line at the concession booth when we arrived at the theatre. We soon realized that some of the people in line were purchasing their movie tickets at the concession booth. The ticket booth is now closed, replaced with machines. There was not enough staff at the concession booth to accommodate the number of people. It took 30 minutes to purchase our popcorn and it was not good at all

AVOID!

July 14, 2019

There is one theatre in Winnipeg that opted to show the controversial movie Unplanned. This is it! A review of this film in the Globe and Mail says the "Anti-abortion film Unplanned is a disgusting piece of propaganda that may endanger the health of women". One of the top critics on Rotten Tomatoes says "Unplanned will make you writhe in agony over how such an ugly, malicious and potentially dangerous piece of religious and political propaganda could have made its way into this world." I am disheartened by this theater's choice to promote such a film as entertainment and will no longer consider them an option for my movie-going outings. I would encourage you to follow suit!

Tickets(coupon) and concession

March 18, 2018

I had a coupon to go to this movie so I had to go to the concession line to exchange my coupon for a ticket . It took three people to figure out what they have to do with my coupon by this time I had spent 35 minutes in a concession line which to me was far too long by the time I got to the theatre and I got to the theatre in time most of the good seats were taken whose brilliant idea was it to put the concession and ticket sales in the same line The coupon came with two free drinks and two regular popcorn again they didn't know how to do it and I wasted more time come on you guys get it together The popcorn was stale what a disappointment that's why you go to the show to have great popcorn I don't understand why the popcorn was stale It was the first show of the day The theatre smelled of I don't know what but my experience was this is the last time that I would attend this theatre Also management was not there to voice my concerns about my problems

smells like feet !

September 09, 2017

Large selection of movies but the theater has a foot odor kind've smell .Also very run down looking . Half the audience, in every movie I've seen here ,are constantly fiddling with their cell phones,but you never see any employees making a walk through .It's like they have your money so who cares what goes on .
