  Greasy seats and slimey floors, but I guess that's part of the charm. 2 screens and a popcorn machine. Good central location that you can easily walk to from all the main hotels. Bottom line is that its your only choice in NWT to see a new movie while in theater unless you want to drive to another province...

  Very basic movie theater, nothing fancy. The men's bathroom has 2 toilets, one stall and One urinal after every screening it's packed for 10 minutes with guys waiting to use the washroom (I'm assuming the same for womens) 3 screens all with extremely uncomfortable seats, depending on when you go it can be clean or your feet get stuck to the sticky dirty floor. Prices are nice (I never understood the overpriced issues) the staff has always been nice and quick when trained. The manager however is god-awful and shouldn't deal with customers. I see on small occasions he's nice but every time other time he's shouting and calling customers idiots. With how much people hate this place i'm shocked no one has opened a new one or tried to anyways, but for now it's the Only place in the territory I Believe to watch movies.

  Its decent. I am always disgusted because of the bathrooms and carpet. Chairs are very uncomfortabl, over priced, but its 2018 I think we all know that everything cost money. The food is fine, the thing that bothers me is that its cash only, and the ATM is offenly crowded, which makes me late for the movie. Overall, since this is the only theatre in town, I really like the screen, lighting, and sound.

  For Yellowknife, this is the one and only choice for a movie theater. That said, it has a pretty reasonable selection even though the movies only stay for one or two weeks. They have three screens and a pretty reasonable concession stand. Tuesday night is cheap movie night similar to almost everywhere else.

  After reading the reviews on here I though I would be walking into an overpriced dump. That is not the case. First, for the argument of it being overpriced, the tickets are cheaper than Vancouver prices, so I don't know where the rest of the reviewers have been going, the price of $14 dollars was not expensive. Second, yes it's not the grand massive theatre complexes associated with major cities, but the last time I checked Yellowknife wasn't boasting the kind of population that would warrant a state of the art multiplex. In the end, the theatre was clean, decently staffed and all in all well within expectations for being a small older theatre.
