Cineplex Cinemas Coquitlam and VIP

Great location with twenty theatres... Even the smaller theatres have stadium seating making it a great place for kids. Lots of food choices as well for any snacks you may want. The twenty theatres allow for lots of showings and movies that are shown long after release date. And at $7.19 on Tuesdays it's a great deal!

I find that because it's in Coquitlam it can be a little bit busier than the smaller cities. The VIP experience is all right. The food is better than the regular experience but I don't know if it's worth the extra money. Landmark Cinemas has upgraded their seats and I find them to be more comfortable than these ones. The seats seemed kind of narrow. One good thing is if you are going to the VIP movie you can get your food later than the regular theater so if you are a night owl this does help.

With one exception where a seat seemed to have had a large Coke dumped on it, this Cinema is a treat to visit. It's typically quite clean - the theaters are well kept, same with the bathrooms. (I haven't been to the lady's rooms) The overall feeling of this place is that it's well managed - the employees seem happy and engaged, and they look like they place an emphasis on customer service. You can also go in and get a popcorn if you're not seeing a movie. I've done that a couple times. Keep your eyes open for Community days - I love theater popcorn, and you can get a regular popcorn for $2.50 (+ extra $$$ for butter). Please pay extra for butter and avoid using the free artificial butter flavored grease dispenser! They have one, but I've never seen anyone use it! I can't resist adding an related anecdote: I visited Oklahoma once, and I'm not sure how many cows are in Oklahoma but I thought it could be the cow capital of the US. So I was dismayed that the theater I visited didn't have actual butter. I was so sad and ended up not getting popcorn, which could have maybe made watching Terminator 3 bearable. Maybe. Because I really love popcorn.

I will only go to the VIP theaters. Not only because kids aren't allowed, but the seats are so damn comfortable. Plus getting service to your seat is great. The only thing missing is it would be nice if the seats reclined a bit.

One of the better Cineplex theatres in the Lower Mainland. Always lots of movie options, they have an extensive underground lot so parking isn't really an issue, and this location has one of the VIP seating areas - you can go on Wednesdays for $50, which gives you dinner and a movie for two people. Overall, this is one of the better Cineplex venues I've been to
