LANDMARK CINEMAS, BOLTON, ON
I have lived nearly my entire life in Canada. That's over 20 years! And never have I ever not even once, heard of Landmark Cinemas! And I believe that is absolutely criminal for anyone or anything that has kept me from perhaps one of the best experiences movie cinema has to offer. The way it has always meant to be watched and experienced. Cineplex has always been my go-to nearly all my life, and the only reason I watched movies in Cineplex was only because all my life I thought they had a monopoly in cinema, leaving no competition or other options for customers. Had I known at all that Landmark Cinemas existed, then Cineplex would never, EVER, see a penny from me. For years I tolerated the torturing service and lack of quality that Cineplex had to offer. And the worst part, the SEATING and atmosphere that gave an all-in-all sour movie experience. The sub-par popcorn, and just a horrific experience entirely. I have always had problems with their cleanliness and seats. Same goes for AVX and IMAX. The seats have always been HORRIBLE! I guess I have basically been living under a rock, that I never knew Landmark Cinemas existed. I found out about them from my Cousin who lives in Vaughan, and said they have the best experience for watching cinema. God bless him! The following is what I absolutely loved about Landmark Cinemas: One of the best seats! Luxury Leather Reclining spacious chairs! Your baby can sit with you in the middle! Tons of leg room! Very hygienic and clean! Sound Quality was top-notch! Eons better than Cineplex. The video quality was absolutely beautiful. And OMG, their popcorn? Was to die for! I guess it's just me and my sheer excitement, but I loved their Popcorn. A million times better than anything Orville or Cineplex has to offer. At the end of the day, I just want to relax, and watch my movie with the best possible atmosphere and experience, and Landmark Cinemas delivers and exceeds! My only wish would be if IMAX technology or anything better, can come to Landmark, so that I can enjoy their experience with IMAX picture quality, and that would be a dream come true! But one thing js for certain, I will always watch a movie in Landmark Cinemas from this day forward! Thank You for such an amazing experience! Me, my wife, and my son watched Jungle Cruise, and we thoroughly enjoyed the film! This was my son's first time ever in a movie theater, and I am glad and honored, that my son got to watch his first movie at Landmark. Thank You...
   Read moreThis review goes off my 1st visit. And this place is giving Cineplex a run for their money.
Pros -Cheaper Tickets (slightly) -Cheaper Food & Drinks (a couple dollars; combos) -VIP Seating at regular ticket prices -VIP Seating is the normal seat in all their movie theaters -Their VIP Seats are better (size, shape & electronically recline) -The isles are so wide you can walk to your seats without touching any other guests (even with their feet up in the recliner)
Cons -No locations in central GTA -Arcade is not great -Parking is limited -The last 2 CONS are not that bad
â------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will find the same amenities like free parking, washrooms (ok cleanliness) food & drinks (a couple dollars cheaper), electronic ticket booth (also a small human operated ticket desk; only open at earlier show times) & an Arcade (not as good as Cineplex) Bring your Tickets to the right of the concession stands to get to your movie (hard to find the 1st time)
The main difference is pricing overall (tickets & food) & most importantly seating! This place has seats that are better than Cineplex's VIP seats & it's considered the regular seating in all theaters. The seats are leather, bery roomy, the center arm rest is plush & can be raised to allow for even more space (great for couples/families) But the best part is that they recline & have feet rests that elevate with u (I was scared my kids would fall asleep from the comfort) They didn't (we watched "Onward"; great movie)
*1 thing I only noticed when it was too late, is that almost everyone (except for us) brought their garbage (from their seats) to the staff waiting with garbage bags at the exit of your movie theater. This is definitely not a thing that happens at Cineplex & explains why they can play movies back to back (as well as why the place was so clean to begin with)
I will definitely drive a little further to experience the comfort &...

A woman sitting beside us brought her two small children, who were audibly talking, screaming and jumping on seats throughout the entire 2.5-hour film. Let me be clear: the children were adorable and completely blameless. They were simply being kids. The problem lies with the parent, who exhibited zero awareness or concern for anyone else's experience. Despite several other folks politely attempting to hush the disturbance, she acted oblivious and made no effort to manage the situation.
What made matters worse was the theatre's complete inaction. I left halfway through to speak with staff and asked that someone step in to address the issue. I was told that an usher would check on Hall 7 but no one ever came. We ended up spending $75 on tickets and snacks just to listen to a toddler's commentary the entire time. What a lousy experience.
Movie theatres are shared public spaces, not personal playpens. And it shouldnât fall on audience members to confront these issues. There should be basic enforcement of etiquette and staff should be proactive, not passive.
Experiences like this make me seriously question the value of going to the movies anymore. With streaming platforms offering convenience, comfort, and total control over your viewing environment, itâs hard to justify the cost and frustration of a trip to...
