Standard movie theater. Not particularly comfortable but not uncomfortable. Will ask to charge you for butter when there is a free butter straight across from the concession before you get your tickets ripped. Used to have all kinds of popcorn seasonings out but doesn't anymore. Seems stale and old. Needs a revamp. Since I cant give it a 2.5 I'll round down to 2.
The seats are some of the grossest theater seats I have ever seen. The cinema had a smell to it that was hard to describe a cross between old socks and dirty locker room. If it wasn't the only game in town it would have gone out of business by now.
Place needs a revamp..or a good cleaningnew seats?
The worst part about our theatre is the staff, it's rare that you get a worker who seems like they actually want to be there. I went to a movie there tonight and my boyfriend had to get up and close the doors to our auditorium because nobody had and we were 20 minutes into our movie. Kinda weird considering that at most theatres a staff member does it. At least the movie wasn't bad.
Saw a movie here once, it was excessively long and also kinda boring, but the low attendance of the movie allowed for some excitement for me and my 3 friends. Being 4 of 5 in the theatre at the time, we pretty much had an open reign and had loud conversations which improved the movie tenfold. At one point an armrest fell off, considered raking it as a memento of the good experience but after much discussion ended up replacing the armrest, cup holder and all to it's original position. (I would like to insert a disclaimer here that we did not break the armrest, we simply pulled it off, if had been broken at an earlier date). All in all 10 out of 10, although could have used more commercials, I enjoy sitting for an extra 20-25 minutes before seeing my film
So filthy. When you go there look at the walls, covered with dried gob and spit balls. Pointed it out but nothing changes. I go there once a month and marvel at how many more spits balls are there since the last visit.
It's not as big as some Galaxy Theaters but it meets the same expectations as any other Galaxy.
March 2017: The theater has since made improvements but the speakers in several theaters need recalibration- auditorium 3 managed to make John Wick 2 alternately too quiet, too shrill, too loud, and too bass-y. It is still a very clean place overall, but the hardware of the theaters needs an upgrade and a fine tuning.
August 2016: It's hit and miss. The process of getting tickets and snacks is consistent, but the enjoyment of the movie really depends on which theater they send you to. One screen has a stain on it, another theater has moody speakers that seem to decide if they're going to work that day or not, and some floors are sticky. The place is generally as clean as can be managed considering how many people visit it on major movie nights.
It's not a bad theater I have been working there for almost 5 years
It's the only one in town so you can't compare it to anywhere else except calgary. But for Medicine hat it's everything you'd need.
The most run down cinema in a the chain. The quality keeps getting worse and the prices keep going up.
