Eau Claire Cineplex Review

So old. Sound quality was not really like other theatres

The location is great but the place could use some work.

The chairs are uncomfortable, they need to update the theater rooms. They are very outdated !!! I got Parking ticket, I had no idea where to park my car if I am visiting this old theater!!

Someone stood up and peed in our theater when we went to see the Joker, not shocked as we were in eau claire buuuut we'll probably make the longer drive to somewhere else next time. Not much that staff could have done so not their fault but just naturally off putting. Also could hear the movie next door during the quiet parts of our movie which wasn't ideal.

Older theater but good if you like the downtown atmosphere and night life

Good movie theatre for an older cinema house. Surprisingly, the popcorn were fresh.

No gift cards accepted for the free screening. Not cool. We left.

Seating in their stadium theatre sucks. Popcorn was cold, dry/stale.

Good theatre...a little old and tired but has everything you need.

Nice older theatre, quiet and small with few movies available. It has a nice feel to it and probably why most people come here and enjoy it here.

A nice older theater downtown Calgary. Ample parking in the Eau Clair underground and easy access. Highly recommended if you are downtown and want to catch a new release.

It's kind of relic compared to newer theatres. No recliners.

The staff where friendly but this place really needs to upgrade there nasty seats
Unfortunately because of this I would recommend going to a different location and it drops them to 2 stars.

I will edit my review if they do something about the seats.

This is by far, the worst Cineplex in the city. I only ever order one thing at the movies, the dog and nacho combo. 3 separate times in a row, I've missed out because they haven't put enough hot dogs on. Three separate times, months in between, they sold out, during the first 5 minutes of being open.

Being prepared for big crowds is what your job is at the theater. I worked for Cineplex years ago, and I won't lie, I'm hugely disappointed in this location.

Parking is not the best as it is located downtown, and the theatre is a little dated, however, it gets the job done.

This theater gets all the hippie movies that you can't go see anywhere else. Seats are relatively comfortable for an older theater. I recommend going in the evenings as you can park nearby (not the parkade) for free.

Small theatre for cheaper movie tickets. Good for festival films but not big budget blockbusters.

Old school theatre, you can definitely hear the movies in the theatres around you, there is absolutely no lighting to help you see once the movie has started, very nice employees.

5 stars because any place in Calgary i'm not forced to drive to should get that, also the theatres are in wacky places so really easy to sneak in food. And they show movies that others often dont.

It's an old theatre. It's fine to go to watch movies at but don't expect anything fancy. Smaller theatres with less of an angle to them. Service and everything else is good.

Seats are falling apart and flat. Poor movie selection. Employees don't seem to know what they were doing. 3 employees had to discuss if I was over the age of 18 after I gave them my ID.

I see most of my movies here. It's an older theatre without a lot of the fancy bells and whistles of the new ones in the 'burbs, but there's rarely a line, and they get all the big releases, plus a lot of smaller, quirkier films that I might not see otherwise. They are also an integral part of the Calgary International Film Festival, which makes them great in my book.

Really great staff! Just inconvenient for parking and in desperate need of updating.

Move theater is very uncomfortable. If you go make sure you go early to get a seat there you don't have to strain hit neck or back to see the movie.

Nice to have a theater downtown however their seats are outdated and very uncomfortable.

It's always sooooooo quiet here with a chill atmosphere, especially on the weekends. Free street parking on Sunday.

We just came to watch Coco,a kids movie. Its running time is 1:49 min and just had to endure 20 min of commercials and a 20 min frozen Xmas special. I'm pissed. Its been 40 min and its just starting. Not impressed at all.
The staff on the hand was nice and place is OK. Just definitely not impressed w that kind of planning. Kids don't need to see ram and ford and marks workwearhouse commercials.

Our favourite theatre. Limited parking and located in a "sketchy" mall, but we love the selection, the theatre seats, and friendly staff.

I just loooove standing outside the theatre waiting to get to a movie that starts in 10 min while the gates are closed. Staff is great! Walking around with their cell phones.

Great cinema, it's clean and always has some good movies on, it's also fairly less busy so you can easily find good seats here.

This place needs a renovation. The mall it's in is creepy, half empty and run down. Eau claire is beautiful but everything inside the mall gives off a bad vibe.

Nice alternative to the big format suburban theatres. You can enjoy being at a nearby pub or restaurant before and after and walk along the river. A great way to spend a night in downtown Calgary

It's the oldest (wide release) theatre in town. The sound is the worst in town. There is no assigned seating. But, it's not too busy, and it's right downtown. It does the trick, and I can walk to it. I'll keep going until they get around to tearing Eua Claire down, and I'll miss it when it's gone.

Like these theatres but need to provide free parking.

Nice market. Good for linch during workdays. Good options.

Older movie theatre located directly in the mall. As compared to many of the renovated theatres this one is small and showing its age. Theatre spaces are small, with uncomfortable chairs. In the movie we saw here they forgot to turn the overhead lights off until 10 minutes in... And even then, I think an audience member left to request it. I don't think they get large crowds as the concession line moved very slowly and our hot dog buns weren't the most fresh. If the location is convenient for you then this serves the purpose but unfortunately there are better theatres to attend a movie at. Only notable thing was that the employees were all friendly!

Usually not too busy which is nice. Could do with a refresh though especially the seats.

Hadn't been to Eau Clair in years. Forgot how uncomfortable the seats in the old theaters were. The place was clean and the staff were helpful.

Old but gold, still has a nice feeling but should surely be upgraded a little

I loved seeing a movie in the steep terraced seating theatre Cinema #6. Hated the popcorn, which may have been better the day before when they made it.

I enjoyed my movie but the theatre played 20 minutes worth of advertising before the movie started. At least be honest about movie time starts and then I will come at the movie start time not the time the advertisements start. Also the seats are extremely uncomfortable. Won't be coming back for a long while. $8.00 is too much for a small popcorn.

Not so busy place therefore you can watch with pleasure. No cell phone users no kicking in your seat. Mostly considerate patrons

The go-to Cineplex if you have decidedly non-low-brow tastes. Quick entry with the app. Smaller theatres which I find nice. Reasonably clean compared to others.
