Landmark Cinemas - Grant Park — Local services in Winnipeg

By far the most comfortable seating in the movie theater game! Landmark Cinemas 8 Grant Park excels where most Cineplex cinemas fall short.

They offer superior beverage choices, thanks to the Coca-Cola Freestyle machines they use. (which is only offered at the Junxion location for Cineplex theaters.) The use of the freestyle machines, ensures that there are loads of sugar free beverage options for those who need or prefer them.

Their snack options are fairly similar, however, the popcorn is where you will notice a distinct difference. Cineplex popcorn is often pre-bagged and kept under a warming light, resulting in dry, stale popcorn. At Landmark on the other hand, they bag the popcorn to order, ensuring a much fresher popcorn munching experience.

Finally, the seating. While Cineplex has started to renovate their seating with reclining options, it still pales in comparison to the seating offered at Landmark. With the seats in the fully laid back position, you could very well sleep in the seats, that's how comfortable they are. Meanwhile, at Cineplex, the reclining seats only offer a leg rest, with very little actual reclining. But where the seats differ most, is on date night. The loveseat style seats offered at Landmark, offer an armrest that can be lifted up, out of the way, making it perfect for movie time cuddles with your special someone. This is a feature that isn't available anywhere else in Winnipeg.

Lastly, the one and only reason this lovely theater doesn't get a full five star rating. The screens. I've watched many (many) movies in most of the screening rooms available at this location, and most have a common issue. Many of the screens have small tears, or some other kind of imperfection in them, which can, at times, distract you from the movie you're watching. In an otherwise perfect movie watching experience, this can quickly pull you out of the experience.

In conclusion, if you haven't already been here to watch a movie, what are you...

Think I'm done with cinemas, which hurts being cinephile. I just can't anymore with the quality of everything really: sound, video, services, cleanliness.

Landmark was my favorite place, with other current ones falling flat. Now they to have sucum.

Saw Wicked, an amazing movie, which was butchered by seeing it in a cinema. I would have walked out if I was not with a group. The cinema wasted seeing a work of art, in such a badly presented state.

Having such a beautiful movie being played in stereo, with off tone speakers, volume far to low. My whole group was trying to get the staff to do something about the audio. We paid $20!!! after all. Yet nothing done. It's a musical and it just hurt to hear it in such a state.

Gamma and brightness ruined the amazing colors this movie had. Just so insulting to the movie and the effort that went into it.

With sound and bad display, why am i paying $20?

The comfy seats? There was a landfill of garbage under each of them. Not from 1 day. It was full and smelt.

I keep trying to be there for cinemas, yet I'm done. I'm so sad going to the cinemas now ruins the movie watching experience.

Landmark, please focus on your quality standard. It has dropped. 4th time in a row, I gave more tries then I should have.

Please please step it up. Can't pay you $20 for that. It...

Never been to this theatre before. Decided to sit up front row, as I have in other theatres. I cannot fathom how the company, the interior designers thought this was okay; or how customers can ever cope with sitting front row more then one dreadful time. Maybe I'm an idiot for underestimating how close to the screen I was going to be. But wow, what a distorted, and deeply uncomfortable viewing angle and experience. Truly a bizarre experience to see such a warped angle, I could see all the motion blur, pixels, and low resolution so clearly. It was physically straining to pay attention to the edges of the screen that were on my peripheral vision. Seriously, who on earth, with functioning optical nerves, can sit in these seats and come out saying "wow, that was such a great viewing experience, can't wait to go back to Landmark Cinemas 8 Grant park and sit front row again!"

And I sat in the MIDDLE FRONT row. I'm imaging the poor dad who was sitting in the front corner, it must have been like watching a movie through warped filter while on a low dose of mushrooms.

Sound quality and audio balance is also kinda bad.

2 stars for comfy chairs and...
