They always have a selection of indie films . I would say, go here if you’re more of a movie buff. The theatres are smaller and cozier than most. Which fits with their film selections .

Lucy Senior

The VIP experience is worth the extra few bucks. If Cineplex management are reading these tips, you may want to invest some $ in re-covering the seats (the material is wearing off on most seats).

Rob T

The layout is a cut above other Cineplexes , though it does not feature Timeplay . Caters to a mostly older crowd, but can't be beat when it comes to it's great selection of limited engagements.

The cinema is amazing. The huge recliner seats are so comfortable , it puts other cinemas to shame..

Thomas

Try the VIP cinema experience. Love being serve while relaxing in my leather seats. Hehehhe

Aaron Brown

Best place in the Cineplex family to get popcorn . I'm not sure why or if the recipe is different but I know a couple of people who swear by it

Will Robertson

Whole theatre is now alcohol friendly ! (not just the VIP) Skip the VIP here it is not as good as at Yonge/Dundas or Don Mills .

Katherine Thompson

We go to this cinema because it is close to our house, but only for regular movies . The VIP experience at this theatre doesn't compare to Yonge-Dundas. Don't bother with VIP here!

Lee Newton

Try the comfortable seats and the unwelcome intimacy created by a tiny room and a tiny screen shared with 20 strangers.

Natalie Watts

Starbucks . The combos are nice but pricy like most movie combos.

Damean Ravichandra

Cinema 7 is routinely used to put on events like the Rogers Marketing Awards. It's a fun place to be. Also, this room has a 4K projector . Read more

Connie Crosby

Ticket lineups too long? There is a ticket machine at the Bloor Street Diner , one level below the theatre, tucked inside the entrance.

Paulette Hamilton

Great place to hang out date nite all @ 1 place that includes alchol too

Markus Doerr

So convenient, so many spots to pick up movie snacks , loving the renovations.

Tara Sinclair

VIP is awesome and worth the VIP fee. Be sure to get there at least a half hour early to get the seat you want and waiter service.

Tiffanie Ing

If you're in short and in cinema 8, choose seats closer to the back, or grab a booster seat just outside the doors!

Robin Johannsen

Currently undergoing some renovations. Last time I was there, I noticed that there is a bar/restaurant just past the concession stand.

Aeryn Lynne

Love the small VIP rooms where you're waited (no lining up at the snack bar , woot!) And LLBO baby! :)

orun bhuiyan

VIP section is neat, but use passes (from Bloor Street Diner downstairs) or coupons to get in and save.

Andria Mendicino

I love the VIP, popcorn and Licensed bar that deliver fairly decent CND wine to your seat. That's good enough movie viewing perks for me :)

Joel R

VIP theatres are ridiculously small. The projector is so low that any patron going to the washroom becomes a giant shadow puppet on the screen you just paid $20 to watch a movie on.

Nicolas St-Amour

Decent sized movie theater . Usually plays the limited releases. Theater seats are slightly grungy and some are in need of repairs.

HOOPLAH

A great place to watch a film in an even better location. HOOPLAH loves the Varsity!

Becca Gilgan

Interesting film selections , clean theatres and VIP lounge !

Josh Holliday

NO TALKING DURING THE MOVIE. Also....don't use your goddamn cell phone, even to see if someone texts you. You're not that important and can go 2 hours without looking at your phone!

Derek V

Parking validation makes for cheap easy access in and out !

Adam McArthur

VIP rooms are cozy . Come early and have a beer !

JP Casino

Pay for the assigned seat, they're super comf.

Sara

Pay the extra couple of bucks to go into a VIP theatre . It's worth every penny.

Adam Reddick

Get ur tix beforehand and get ur seats earlier than most other theatres.

Patrick Janicki

Less busy than Scotia Theatre or Dundas.

Marie Tobin

Beer and popcorn ! Can't beat that combo !!

Desmond Liang

Ppl save seats for others dat don't even there. It's nice n thoughtful but next time at least put a cloth on the seat st I don't hv 2 pass a row of ppl to find out.

Roly Gomez

VIP rooms are cool. check it out watch a movie in first class :-)

Karima Ladhani

I love VIP treat anytime and will avoid theatre #8.

Fernando Rebel S

Don't reserve tickets on weekends, its crowded

Alan Lam

You can get $3 parking for 4 hours after 6pm during the week or anytime on the weekend.

Kelvin Lee

Theatre 8 is poorly designed to say the least. No incline! Grab a kids booster seat if you're short !

Jean-Marie Heimrath

Supplemental to my previous comment re VIP rooms . They've NEVER cleaned them.

Matthew Kidd

No late night hot dogs , like what's even the point?

Neil Roy

It is true. Very flat. Did not enjoy! Was watching Catching Fire.

Joe R.

The VIP screenings aren't worth the money unless you really value avoiding people

Adam Schoales

Didn't except my 2 for 1 pass on Tuesday, despite the fact that Scotiabank has been for two months.

Fatih Kuran

Nice complex

Cristian Tane

Avoid the VIP at all costs! VIP 1 has the worst screen I have ever seen in a theater. The screen has actual holes in it - a black grid of tiny black holes that completely ruin the image quality.

Ketellyn Manique ????????

VIP is much better!!

Jonathan Levstein

Try the stair lights

Alex Palmer

Saw a film in Varsity 8. The thing's flat, old, and dirty . And not in a good "this is kinda cool" way, more in a "ah, what the fuck did I just step into?!" way.

AJ Comstock

Do the VIP theatre if you can. Its worth it.

Andrew Lee

Dont go to the movies with Kyle he ruins everything!
