Cineplex Forum 22

Not a bad movie theatre however the layout is a bit weird and if you get an auditorium like #10, you have to go down the stairs and walk all the way down. This theatre plays a lot of ethnic movies. I have been here on several occasions for Chinese films! Which is awesome.
This theatre is less busy compared to Scotiabank on St. Catherine’s so I like coming here on Tuesday’s (which is still busy).
One downfall about this theatre is that they don’t allow Tim Horton drinks which I find absurd because it’s within the same building, but I guess it isn’t part of Cineplex. Either way, they have one concession stand for all I know and there is line ups for pop corn and drinks!

One of the best multiplex theatres in Montréal. After watching the movie at multiplex late night, you can grab a quick bite at McDonald’s opposite to that. It’s near to Atwater metro station, so you can go to your home by taking metro or the bus after the movie. One can buy whisky and some wine at the SAQ next to the theatre on a Friday evening after watching the noon show. It’s ideal for couples and families to enjoy together.

Over the years I’ve started to dislike going to the movies big time. I find it expensive and it drives me up the wall when I’ve paid a fortune only have to watch ads at the beginning of the movie. I’d much rather watch a movie from the comfort of home. That being said when I do go this is my preferred theater. They show a good variety of movies and the facilities are pretty spacious and clean. It’s part of the Cineplex chain so the prices are in line with their other downtown theater, the Scotia Bank one, which is to say they will be on the expensive side. I also find that it gets way less crowded than the Scotia Bank theater which is definitely a plus.

Just your ordinary over priced movie theater, went to see Minions on a Tuesday entrance was half priced, but the concession had to take out a mortgage, I cannot foresee this theater being in business long if they keep charging snacks priced at full course meals.

How cool is it to go to a movie where they used to play hockey?
Came here to the movies to see «Lucy» in IMAX and really enjoyed it. The theater is efficiently run and very clean. The IMAX was not that great but the seats were comfortable and sound and picture quality was excellent.
Very convenient to get to, I’d definitely go back here.

Well-​kept theatre, up-​to-​date movies, and expensive eats and drinks. What more to say?

Everybody loves cinematic adventures. Especially me.

The establishment seems unsymmetrical and in some measure postponed for some later years that never came about. The food station at the bottom level is not open. The place feels abandoned and grimed. I do still come for off the margin features. I much prefer the Scotia Bank movie theater located further east but they mostly show blockbuster films.

We were in dire need of finding a movie theatre that showed movies in English. We were tricked a few days prior. Most movies here in Montréal are in French. I love being amidst different cultures, but it’s hard to really enjoy a movie if you they are being dubbed in French.
5 stars is given to this Cineplex not only for having movies in English, but for the best popcorn EVER. Seriously.
I have never had fresh popcorn as good as I had on my trip to Montréal. There must be MSG or something that makes the popcorn taste more buttery. The added butter was bonus. It didn’t seem super greasy the way it’s served in America. Somedays I dream of traveling back to Montréal to enjoy another popcorn. And to have it with a Tim Horton’s Snow Cap? Dead.

My personal opinion is that this should still be the Montréal Forum. Un point c’est tout.
Location: Ste. Catherine and Atwater. You can access it from the subway without stepping outside if you want to avoid this polar vortex situation we have going on.
Space: I don’t like it. I find the whole place to be uninspiring and bleak, right down to the color choices and the décor. I like that they’ve kept some of the old seats, and that they showcase photos of players etc. But in terms of this being a theater, it just doesn’t work for me. It reminds me of the 80s, where it should simply remind me of the ‘good old hockey days’, and 1992 when I saw my first U2 show.
Theater: The theater we were in was very small, and the screen was also smaller than those I’m used to. The sound was incredibly loud too. I don’t know if they were trying to deafen us but they came close! Not to mention that the experience was marred by this rude and stupid old couple (I have nothing against the elderly!) who came in a half hour after the movie started and caused a serious ruckus for about 10 minutes as they walked around looking for seats, and before they finally sat their asses down (next to me, of course). They disturbed everyone in the theater, then spent 10 minutes talking, THEN decided the movie was too much for them so they made another scene as they were leaving, with the old man muttering about ‘this f*cking movie’. First of all, maybe you want to read up on the movie you plan to go see before you buy your ticket. No? Secondly, if you can’t make it to a movie on time, then stay home. Frankly, theaters should really know better than to sell tickets after a movie has started if it means patrons who actually made it on time, are going to be disturbed. Lastly, the theater wasn’t even clean when we went in. The staff came in to start picking up all the crap that was lying around after people had started seating themselves.
Just, NO.

Je trouve les prix un peu élevés, mais je vie encore dans le passé quand le cinema coûtait 7 $ même si on était vendredi soir et que le 3D existait pas. Je n’aime pas le fait que certains films soient seulement en AVX, ce qui fait qu’un billet te coûte 3 $ de plus juste parce que le son est supposément meilleur (personnellement ça me passé 10 pieds par dessus la tête, je veux dire, un film c’est un film, qu’il soit en 3D AVX IMAX ou whatever, il sera pas meilleur et l’histoire changera pas si je paye plus cher, non? C’est juste moi? Les bancs D-​Box c’est juste agressant et le 3D c’est encombrant avec les lunettes. Moi je veux voir un film, tout simple, sans avoir à payer plus cher parce que on me donne plein d’extra dont j’ai pas envie. C’est encore juste moi? Le prix de la boisson et du pop corn lui? C’est normal que juste ça ça coûte plus cher qu’une poutine à La Banquise? Ok j’arrête.)
Excluant mes envies meurtrières envers l’industrie du cinéma, je donne quand même 4 étoiles à ce cinéma. Parce que tsé, c’est pas de sa faute à lui, si c’est comme ça que ça marche, avec le marketing et l’argent et tout. Je l’aime bien ce cinéma, parce que les salles sont confortables, il offre des films en anglais et en français, et il est toujours à jour avec les nouveautés, ce qui n’est pas le cas avec le cinéma de la banque Scotia sur Ste-​Catherine, mon autre référence quand j’ai envie de dépenser une demie journée de salaire pour regarder une fucking grande TV. Ok j’arrête.
Le cinéma et moi, on est comme un vieux couple. Je l’aime quand même, vous l’savez ben.

Rien de particulièrement excitant avec ce cinéma excepté son nombre de salles qui permet quand même d’avoir une bonne sélection de film. Il est également bien situé dans l’ouest du centre-​ville de Montréal ce qui est agréable. Point de stationnement gratuit ici, ce n’est pas la banlieue!
Les salles sont relativement petite par contre alors l’expérience cinématographique n’est pas particulièrement spectaculaire. Les écrans sont raisonnablement grands pour les dimensions des salles qui sont configuré selon le principe du «stadium seating» (sièges en pallier?) ce qui donne une bonne visibilité quel que soit votre localisation.
Le prix des représentation est un peu plus cher qu’en banlieue et la salle «IMAX» est de la catégorie «bébé IMAX», un grand écran mais passablement plus petit que le IMAX traditionnel.
Pour les nostalgique, le cinéma occupe l’espace de l’ancien forum, là même où jouais l’équipe de hockey «Canadien» jusqu’en 1996 et un certain nombres de souvenir dont une section d’estrade peuvent être vus sur place!

Went there for the first time since it was bought by Cineplex.
The improvements were obvious, such as the ticket pickup using iPhone and the addition of Ultra AVX.
The Ultra AVX, in my opinion, was better than the IMAX. The screen was really large, the sound quality was significantly better, and you get much more leg space.
In addition, with the Ultra AVX, you can choose your seating when purchasing your ticket, so you do not have to arrive 15 minutes early get a good spot.

Propre en général. On peux imprimer notre billet avant d’entrer avec une dizaine de machines mise à notre disposition. Les salles sont pas mal toujours presque vide.

Converted from the AMC in the most hallowed of Montréal buildings. Some of the theatres are a bit small. Even the IMAX isn’t the giant IMAX you see elsewhere, but a much smaller version. Lines to buy tickets are usually log, but they have a lot of terminals. Parking after 6PM is $ 6 downstairs.
