Cinecenta

Small town feeling in this theater located at a university. It's smaller, but their rotating selection of titles keeps this place as a favorite movie destination. Low ticket and food prices. Easy paid parking, old school seats, screen is big enough that you won't feel like your TV is better. Support Cinecenta, you'll be happy to have it as an option now that university heights theater options are gone.

Great shows at great prices. Not mainstream hollywood stuff but classics, eclectic and independent movies. The young staff even tore themselves away from their cellphones long enough to sell popcorn. We saw the 1927 silent classic "Nosferatu" complete with pianist on stage. Great! All was clean and comfy, but old and simple. I go several times a year.

Great variety of films shown 7 days a week. Gourmet popcorn and coffee served. Discount prices in a Comfortable theater.

Great films, real butter on damn fine popcorn and don't forget to put extra butter and yeast in the middle of a large bag. Pay parking is free on Sundays.

If you want a great movie experience where everyone shows up on time, no one talks or texts during the movie and everyone stays through the credits and delicious and affordable concessions are also available to you, Cinecenta will be your jam. Pro tip: bring your own coffee mug and pay $1.75 for your Java fix.

As a UVic student in the 80s, I was a regular patron of Cinecenta. Last night I went back for the first time in many years. The seats are reupholstered, but still the same design as they were 35 years ago. They still serve "damn fine popcorn". The sound and picture quality were good for the movie that I saw. It's a great place for limited release films, art house movies, old classics, even the occasional live speaker or musician. Wheelchair accessible, reasonable prices, plenty of nostalgia if you are UVic alumni.

The best thing after a long day in University is to go to Cinecenta!! The buttered popcorn was really good! Super convenient prices and a good service!

Cheap movies reasonable concession prices and convenient for students

Saw Nosferatu on Halloween and 100th anniversary of the film! Sold out show

First run movies. Nice theater! Popcorn is the best! Very affordable.
