This review is pointlessly snotty. It's less a review about the actual theater and more a review about this person's personal feelings on how commercial that area has become.

He made the walk from the subway in the Eaton's center to the theater across the street sound like such a chore and never stops complaining about things that have little if anything to do with the actual movie experience. ]]>

@Spade: I do not understand people who work minimum wage and especially for a big company such as AMC. Why not borrow money or start their own business? Why should I pay for their education and work experiences?]]>

It's not their business plan, it's the studios. Seeing that the studios think that the Cineplex is close enough to the AMC to compete, the studios will only give the movie to one of the two theatres. If AMC has the new release, then the Cineplex doesn't and via versa. It's all politics on the studios part.]]>

Whoever wrote this article is nuts and judging from the way he talked about the staff there, kind of an elitist jerk. I've always found the staff very polite. I love this place. It's so beautiful, really really clean and I personally don't need to see movies the day they come out and watch them with 200 talking, coughing people. ]]>

I went in today and asked why they had such a crappy selection of 8 week old movies, and was told they are not allowed to show any movie that the Paramount is showing.  With that as their business plan, the place won't survive a year.]]>

Why is Indiana Jones not playing? That makes no sense to me. I know that Cineplex is not that far away (Under 2 KM) but this is a very busy city I?m sure you could show it at 2 movie theaters and still make a lot of money!!]]>

I love the theatre... I hate the woeful lack of blockbuster new releases there! Sure they have Iron Man playing every half hour... but that's it. No Indiana Jones? (Just bitter because I live a block away and have only wanted to see 1 movie playing there.)]]>

Holy crap... Came over to read review of a theater and instead found some bitter piece of crap barrelly passable as bathroom wall art. Whoever it was that pissed in your cerial, I'm sure it wasn't AMC. 

Your cheap shots at Eatons (which btw most of the time is spotless clean) and Dundas Square further discredit your already lacking "review" (and yes, these are air quotes). 

Myabe instead of focusing on the urin in your cerial you should pay attention to the subject you are trying to review. Not a word about seating or theaters themselves. Nothing was said about the theater or sound.

Sad little scribble, that's what it is. I suppose you and the idiot above who didn't like the carpets could go around together reviewing surroundings of other theaters and how great their buildings look.]]>

probably the worst looking building in toronto, but im not suprised its sponsored by toronto life, they have no taste.

how many years did they spend to put that up? what is wrong with this city. STARBUCKS / FUTURE SHOP = trash

p.s could the texture on those carpets be any more tacky? they make me want to puke out that stale popcorn they were serving there all night.]]>

@Michelle

It's because the blogto crew gets paid to bitch and whine like a bunch of old ladies. If they post too much positive news people will stop reading and they'll be out of work. 

I saw I Am Legend for free. It was fun going. The lines moved quickly, the crowd was well-managed and the theatre was big enough such that we could find seats together. The seats themselves were very comfortable and the couple-friendly design was a nice surprise that makes it the top theatre in the city. ]]>

I'm a student at Ryerson University.  I loathe all the construction that seems to be never end in the Yonge/Dundas area.  The pan-handlers are agreesive and people trying to con me into buying their $5 newspapers is not cool.  The last thing I want to do is "relax" in a movie theatre in the [supposed] "heart" of the city.  I don't mind sitting and observing at the seats and tables in Dundas Square but truthfully, I'd rather play a game of chess with a homeless person at Nathan Phillips Square.]]>

Couldn't you find one redeeming quality about the theatre or it's surroundings? How about the lively, bustling atmosphere of street musicians, the convenince of having a shopping centre nearby to run errands, the convenince to having a theatre so close to the subway stop,the fact that you got to see a free movie. All your complaints are actually a city slicker's dream. And many of us who choose to live in or visit Toronto are here specifically here to experience the city's stimulating atmosphere, diversity and energy. Just thought you could've been a little more objective in your article....that's all.]]>

I'm with you there, Lee.

There's no good reason not to allow people to exit via a stairwell. It becomes almost a fire hazard when a couple of movie theatres let out at the same time and everyone has to cram down a single-file escalator.

Seems like an accident waiting to happen.]]>

I have to say I went to see a free opening movie and it was great until the end. I didn't mind the escalator rides up, could've been done better... but the escalator ride out??? Claustrophobic!!! I really hope what we experienced wasn't the finished product... one narrow (one person at a time) escalator to exit the building? With the escalator hitting a single door that causes a backlog as people have to pause and open it??? People were falling back on the people behind them! It was ridiculous and the stairs weren't even an option since they'd sound the alarm... please tell me this has gotten better!]]>
