Reviews of Metro Cinema (Movie Theater)

Brian Rice

Jason E. Woods

Cash only for popcorn and pop! ATM on site.

Darlene Johnson - DeeJay

Great old theatre!

Jonas Andresen

Very nice theater. Has an old feeling too it. You know, because it is.

Larry Strawson

Cool relaxed ambiance and great film choices

Caeli Jollimore

The Garneau Theatre is *the* place for cinephiles in Edmonton. Their monthly selection of films is diverse and frequently highlights independent local and international filmmakers, with a handful of recurring monthly showings of fan favourites such as The Room and various Studio Ghibli movies for good measure. Unlike traditional theatres which show the same handful of films for weeks at a time, the Garneau typically only plays a film once or twice in order to accommodate such a broad selection. This can be a pain as the number of available seats is limited, so it's often best to arrive early. This is particularly true for the most popular events like the Saturday Morning Cartoons Christmas Special or the annual Rocky Horror Picture Show. The Garneau is also notable for fostering community engagement with the movie industry, often bringing in filmmakers to speak before showings or playing short documentary-style pieces as part of the pre-show. As an added bonus the Garneau is fully licenced, meaning you can enjoy an adult beverage with your popcorn without having to pay through the nose as you would at the bigger VIP theatres.

Leigh Watts

Seats are SO soft and comfortable! Some seats are a little broken and over-recline, so I sometimes have to test a couple before finding one that's perfect for me.

Simon Gorsak

My favourite movie house in Edmonton.

Stephanie Brooks

Great theatre with lots of fun events. Be sure to keep your eye out for any of the homocidal shows and any of the Turkey Shoot events. Very well run, comfy, and fun theatre. They're website is also very friendly and is updated constantly.

Happy Wife Happy Life Entertainment

Great venue !

TS Owen

Great movies in an iconic theatre setting.

Yang Zhang

Always enjoy the cereal and cartoon festival. Feel lucky we have such a theater stand in the city.

Wanda-Lee Tuson

Love this theatre so much ❤️

Sharon Pasula

Great that they show Indigenous content films. Thank you.

Northern Tiger

A cool peice of history and a fun place to watch a movie. The concession prices are better then most theaters. They lose two stars for how hard it is to find parking.

Byron Trieu

Something about the Metro Cinema always brings me right back. Whether it's the cozy and warm atmosphere, or the quirky and friendly staff, everything is welcomed. I have watched many movies and shows at this cinema with no negative experiences. I recommend the Metro Cinema to everyone.

Brenda Petersen

It felt very nostalgic inside

Ryan Newell

Great for free kids movies. Adults still pay $13/each

Michael Darrington (bearrington)

Theatre is always clean. The popcorn is the best in Edmonton and always fresh. Staff are always friendly and hardworking. Stellar movie selection/retro film series and will always pick up the hidden gems big theatres don't pick up.

Rylan Dalrymple

Never turn down the opportunity for a show at the Garneau. It is classy, historic, and full of character

Trina Ymir

Nice venue, will visit more

Colleen Murphy

Everything about this place is amazing and epic ???????? such a treat and fun place. Best pop corn in town!

Alexander Kubish

The variety of programming at Metro Cinema is outstanding. This is an Edmonton treasure.

Kevin Webster

This has always been the best theatre in town. A classic.

Marina Pradella

I always love the Metro.

Keaton Gibb

Clean and quality, with a nice touch of being a little old

Leanne Klimek

This theatre (also known as the Garneau) is a cultural landmark in Edmonton. Lots of films, concerts and talks are put on here. It's a really beautiful building. The last time I was here was for a Pecha Kucha Night, which was an evening of the fast-paced Japanese-style presentation. Super highly would recommend both the theatre and this event!

KoKo C

I've seen so many things I would have never known about there. Weird non-profit! I love it so much I get the yearly pass.

Nigel Henri

The 15 dollar lunch bento box is the most glorious Japanese food you can get in Edmonton for such a low price.

Parker Thiessen

Awesome movies here

Alexander Stewart

Best movie listings in town

Ali Hejazizo

Extremely uncomfortable seats, but I liked the place classic style.

Peter Macfarlane

Keeping classic cinema alive with good prices and a great theatre. Concession and sometimes a bar too

Sajad Soleymani

Great ambience! Feels retro. Some adjustments to the sound systems would be great...

Deborah Pelletier

I love this theatre! Old school nostalgic vibe.

Shiv

Definitely one of my favorite places to go. They always have such unique films playing, and the atmosphere is superb. The best part would be their special showings of classic films where they provide props or trinkets to use during the show. I also enjoy when they have a cask of beer available as well. I highly recommend this place for a day or night out!

Bruce Ritchie

Cozy, old theatre. Used to come here as a kid. Interesting movies.

Nathan Li

Quaint little movie theater where all the seats are good seats! Love that there is balcony seating as well.

Pete E

Great experience

Mikayla Stelte

I've had more fun yelling and throwing things during a classic movie in a theater then all my childhood memories at a Chuck E Cheese or field trip etc. I've gone for the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Princess Bride. Both times I left feeling like I had an experience of a lifetime! I love that theater is still so vintage and the staff are amazing!

Bree Elliott

A great experience over all, friendly staff and a beautiful venue!

keyvan Gsaffar

Great place to spend time watching movies with friends

Charles C

This place is great for that vintage feel for movies. The place could arguably use a renovation though as the walls in the theatre looking like they're peeling off. I don't come often, but I always have fun when I do. Mostly a place for lesser known films and film study majors.

Wes Doyle

What a great selection and variety of old and new movies! I love the community atmosphere.

Nathaniel Le Chalifoux

Great cinema ????

Alisha Kadam

This is a great place to catch independent releases, old classics and also some international films. The staff is always nice and they serve good popcorn.

Harith Ali

If you like the classic theatre, Garneau is your destination!

Nelson Niwa

The Metro Cinema Society shows an ongoing interesting variety of films for reasonable rates. The popcorn is reasonable, and they serve locally-brewed beer in the lobby!

Jordan Bibby

Classic theatre showcasing new, old, and obscure movies weekly.

Benjamin Nutbrown

A very cool theater which always has very interesting films going on. Much quieter and less hectic than the big movie theaters. Can't wait to support this theater in the future

Allie Wojtaszek

Staff is always helpful, friendly! Offers a unique entertainment experience, showing indie movies and retro films in a delightful older theatre. You can pay to get in with debit but you'll need cash for the concession.

Jamie Johansen

I’ve visited here several times for Dark Side of the Rainbow, Rocky Horror for the 3rd time, and the odd other small time film I’d like to see on a bigger screen. It’s a nice night out to watch excellent films with yummy popcorn (or a bag full of props to throw everywhere) while sitting in plush velvet seats surrounded by like minded folk. Parking is usually okay as there is plenty around but the usual weekend days can be a challenge to find a spot sometimes.

Trent Wilkie

Best cinema in town.

Keilie DePodetsa

Great theatre with an old school feel

Me.No.Pause Mac Neil

Fantastic venue

Krisna Raynor

Gorgeous!

Joseph Dittrich

Super cute and whimsical. Best popcorn I've ever had. Committed, fantastic staff and volunteers. Bonus--the concentration of douchebags that enter this place is fewer than 1ppm.

Chase Willford

Never been but always heard good things about the films and cult classics they'd play and decided to check it out. Was definitely amazed it's a beautiful old theatre with classic snacks selection and a more modern movie snack option with the available bar. Nothing like classic film and a good beer with some milk duds to have a good night out.

Jim Lochhead

Classic theatre with great options

REV V

Great place to see a movie!!

Fox West

Good seats, good snacks, and a staff that actually cares about film. Top rank theatrical experience all around.

Patrick McCaw

An outstanding art house cinema. I see several films there a month. Also, they're now licensed!

Kirill Makhachev

Great movies for great prices

Dominique Beaupre

Great place to learn about the movie before you actually watch. Community news is an engaging pre-show experience.

Yara Assi

I love their selection of movies and events. There is always something to watch or an event to attend at Garneau Theatre.

Paul Senior

Super fun retro cinema, originally built in 1940. One screen but that's all you need! Repertory fare, film festivals, children's movies, something for nearly everyone. A very different experience than the mega movie plexes most people are used to. The screen is smaller and it lacks the thunderous sound system of modern theatres. Flat floor seating instead of the more modern stadium style. If you are shorter try the upper mezzanine.

Randeen Christianson

Fantastic theatre, saw an awesome show, would come back again!

Rita Neyer, PhD

Nostalgic, homely theatre. Fresh popcorn! Friendly staff.

Julian Haagsma

Great events!

Renée Cabana-Marshall

I visit the Garneau regularly. The movies are always great and the popcorn is to die for. Great staff. Great atmosphere..

Tanya Marrazzo

Great popcorn, awesome old timey venue. The only complaint would be the seats are old and lumpy but I understand that it would probably be exorbitantly expensive

Nacho

Great for classic movies

Renata

I love this theatre! The staff are friendly, the concession is reasonable priced, and they sell beer at some screenings. I like the theatre itself as well, the screen isn't huge but it does the job and the seats are comfortable. I like watching the movies they show as they often aren't shown in other theatres or are older movies. The tickets are usually $10 so that's not bad as well but they have some deals so it's good to follow their Facebook page to see what's happening.

Andrew Schuld

I like this theatre because it has that old school feel with the balconies and style. The seats aren't comfortable though. Newer theatres have much more comfortable, larger seats

Helena B

Just saw Parasite, and what an amazing movie! I loved it when the audience erupted into clapping, like in a live show. Great people.

Cyn Bad

The best theater in town! It's an older theater with old charm and old seats. Their popcorn is delicious, they always have something cool showing, and they're licensed (for those of you that want to have a bevy and enjoy a flick)

Stephanie Truckey

Metro is a great place to catch a movie, and the prices are very reasonable. They are consistently a source of a wide variety of films, not just the same lame blockbusters you see at the Cineplex. I also appreciate that they partner with community groups to bring important films to the public and support worthy causes.

Xinyu Chen

Great place, great atmosphere.

Mathdiola

My favorite place to watch a movie. Although the screen may not be as big as Cineplex or the seats may not be as spacious, this place provides the classical definition of a "movie date". Their selection of movies is incredible and they have multiple themes/special events throughout the year. The tickets are cheap and if you're a student, you get a discount as well!

monique mcfarlane

Best theater ever, best popcorn with real butter , beat comfortable seats, best volunteers, best community engagement...it's the BESTEST !!?

Jan Taylor

Love it! Nice range of art & mainstream flicks.

rgedmon

Best place for a movie but add more variety of snacks. Only popcorn, pop and candy. Cash only for the snack bar. (Not a bad thing, just an FYI). And the old theatre make you feel back in the older days.

odion welch

A classic gem that always shows the best movies

Doug Kyle

A beautiful, classic theatre.

Shanell Marie Twan

Great selection!

Nick McQuik

Called Garneau Theatre here and on the sign out front, but online it’s called the Metro Theater, this led to some confusion buying tickets. Very affordable commissary , but distinct lack of parking.

D.A.J.

Great plays

Brooke Durpin

Great for cult classics

Richard Javorsky

Quaint movie house for watching films you won't see at the regular theatres

Alec Forest

Classy place and well kept up. Prices are reasonable, especially the student discount, and they put on great programming and events

Pamela Parker

The visual history at the Garneau is worth going. I took my daughter there to Rocky Horror Picture Show. Now almost 20 years later my art work was hanging there for Black History month. Thank you. Pamela Parker

Michael Moores

Saw turbo kid here as well as other countless cult classics and indie favourites. Great chairs fun atmosphere. And always running interesting and informative events. A must see experience for Edmonton.

Sonja Norton

Neat old fashioned theatre

Lauren van Keulen

I love this theater! I love the old movies they bring back to the big screen and the old school ambience. My only main complaint is that there is absolutely zero parking anywhere near here... It comes with the area so it's unavoidable, but it makes it inconvenient and therefore I'm more likely to attend other theaters.

C. Ross Taylor

Fantastic little cinema with a wonderful history where you might be lucky enough to see a film you were too young to see when it was first in theaters

Nadine Chalifoux

Nice venue Not very accessible.

Ragunathan Natarajan

I am feel like a watching TV

Jeffrey S

Saw the room, the staff was awesome, very accommodating

Andrew Roberts

Don't miss the monthly showing of the room first Friday of every month. Bring plastic spoons. They also serve alcohol. THE APPLES ARE A METAPHOR.

Kavita

A charming space that holds true to the classic vision of a theater. Lovely, quirky staff. A quality gem in the heart of the city. <3

Rebecca Reid

My favorite theater in the city hands down! It is older, so the seats and technology aren't as stellar as the more modern big box theaters, but this old girl has got some charm! There is balcony seating that gives even us short people a spectacular view of the screen. The Metro has some great programming all throughout the year, but this horror fan loves it when dEdfest takes over the screen to show us some great independent and cheesy horror flicks. No VIP theater needed here to be able to enjoy a couple of good beers while you watch either! They also have the "All You Can Eat Cereal and Cartoon Party" a couple of times a year. This is where you can wear your jammies and indulge in the sugary cereals of your childhood and enjoy Saturday morning cartoons and commercials just like the good old days!

Artgraphics 33

Really nice, the people are teally nice too

Adam Olmstead

Fantastic gem of a theatre. Had that enthralling old theatre vibe complete with that true theatre popcorn and balcony seating. The fact that they showcase relevant and underappreciated films cemented it for me as a must for cinema junkies in Alberta.

Nicole Hatton

Our favorite place in the city to see movies! Fun offerings and events, fresh delicious popcorn, wonderful atmosphere.

Richard Horn

Keeping repertoire cinema alive in Edmonton. Support them!

Nushiva

Best theater in Edmonton, always love coming here!

Nicole Malenczak

Historic theatre with lots of charm.

Kristine Lynn Bowman

Only been here once, but will absolutely be going back! Staff are incredible, warm and welcoming. Older venue with incredible character. Highly accessible, parking can be tricky.

Diane nelson

Friendly staff and a monument for edmonton. Highly reccomend going here for one of their interactive evenings for showings like the room or rocky horror

Shaun Kessler

Great events! Odd seats.

Robert Fyfe

This is an awesome theatre that shows some unique films you won't get to see at a normal cinema. Sometimes they host film festivals there which is super cool.

GOPINATH THANIKACHALAM

Parking is the big issue on this place, great place watch new movies...

C Roaquin

Great fringe venue. Street parking can be tricky so arrive early to allow for parking time. Enjoy the show in this heritage theatre.

Riley Treen

Great memories of an old time cinema but huge!

Shawn Fraser

Vintage theatre. Gotta try it at least once.

vagabond expedition

an old school feel, and although the concession stand needs an update, the place shows films not found in chain theatres, and those films are typically better than the dull Hollywood fare of today. 5 stars as it's a great place to spend some time watching something unique!

Alan Ainsley

Just attended Rocky Horror Picture Show, lost my V tonight. It was a pretty awesome show! Thx for putting on the event folks.

shelley stachniak

A kinder, gentler film house. Best popcorn.

Evan Adnams

Always a blast, and great that many events serve alcohol :D

Sonia Uwera

It's too complicated to find a parking spot

Dan Brandenburg

Great old updated theater

richard kusi-menkah

Cool spot, trendy. All the hipsters scenesters and cool people check out flicks and cult classics here

Ryan Stephens

One of my favourite places on Earth, Metro Cinema is an essential visit if you're into movies off the beaten path. They always have a great combination of new independent films, classics, and cult classics. You could stop be randomly on any given day and you'll likely see an awesome film you've never seen before. And I haven't even started talking about the space yet. Oh man, it's so great to be able to watch movies in a proper cinema. The chairs could use replacement, but it's well worth the slight discomfort. :)

Michelle Kennedy

Metro is a wonderful community! Excellent programming, great vibes and free butter for popcorn. A true gem in Edmonton!

Baby Penis Gamer

I can laugh when givin the correct material. Such as: poopcorn. Which was provided in the cinema lounge

Andrea Hirji

Excellent movie curation.

Mason Lynes

Quiet and cozy place to watch beloved and unique movies without spending too much. Good place for a close date or a single escape. A little run down and could use sweeping up between showings.

Tony Craigen

Great old theatre and cool selections of movies new and old screened

Salmythe

My favorite theater in all of Edmonton.

Dipan Das

Love the old style theatre feeling.

William Mitchell

Best movie theatre in town, hands down. Always showing cool stuff (be they cult classics, foreign flicks, indie shows, etc) and an absolutely gorgeous interior. The Princess is great, but I prefer the Garneau.

Amanda Ansah

The nostalgia❤❤

John B

Good venue and wonderful films.

A Cranky Crow

I love this theatre very much. It's hands down my favorite date night activity with my partner! Always looking forward to out next visit. :)

Audrey Charles

Watching The Sound of Music Sing-a-Long with one of my best friends here is one of my favorite all time memories.

Barry Steinwand

One of the best independent theatres in Edmonton. The late night shows are usually licensed, and the monthly Saturday morning cereal and cartoons is possibly the greatest family activity for a lazy weekend morning.

Khotso Young

Vintage, outstanding, nostalgic

Darryl hunts West

A cool old theatre with great seats. Funtimes and beer and popcorn. Just awesome.

M!randuh Saddlebee

Very adorable vintage theater. Brings me back to a small time town I grew up in. Splashes of memories galore, I quite enjoyed myself. Massive selection for seating, and the sound system is incredible, all types of variety of film play here; from classic to contemporary, with splashes of art.

Katy E C

A great little theater that shows a variety of non-new-release movies. I come here to watch old favorites, stuff I missed while it was still in theaters, foreign films, and sometimes stuff that had a limited release originally

Liam Shaw

Metro is the best cinema in the city. Excellent popcorn, reasonably priced beer you can drink in the theatre like a normal civilised person, & the most diverse programme of films going. All the stars.

George Bradford

The Garneau theatre is a large historic theatre that somehow survived into the modern era. It is now operated by the Edmonton Metro Cinema Society and showcases a wide variety of high quality classic and modern titles.

Brent Christopherson

Always my favourite cinema in Edmonton. Great movies. Non-profit, volunteer operated. Super friendly.

Will Griffiths

Classic movie theatre and a great place to see movies with friends. Did I mention they serve beer here as well.

Ki Wi

An Edmonton icon, please support this theatre! They play the best, most obscure movies that you won't find elsewhere.

Mike Bridge

great place but the unisex washrooms are too far ahead of the curve for me.

Joel Toews

Amazing place to watch movies new and old. Great staff and a great place all around. Classic movie theatre feel, a cherished part of Edmonton.

Elysia Johnson

Always educational and fun to visit Metro cinema.

Chris Corrigan

Venerable local venue for arthouse film is now the centre of The Metro Cinema Society. Art Decco movie parlour glamour is matched locally only by the Princess Theatre, located to the Southeast. Exactly the place to soak in cult, foreign, historical and documentary film, and much more! Located beside many unique restaurants and bars for a great and total night out.

Perry Powder (Perry)

Going to the movies the way going should be. What a great place and people.

Leon

Watched The Disaster Artist here! The seats are very comfy and there's a decent amount of leg room as well. Tickets are cheap and even cheaper for students, well worth it to see a new ish movie! Situated by Sugarbowl and High Level as well so it'd do well for a night out. Video and audio both good quality as well.

Aaron Monai

Very cool old style theater that is run by students and is a not for profit. And they prices are very reasonable

John Sweenie

Decent prices, staff are good as well. Sound when I went was atrocious and made the film unwatchable though. Would be hesitant to return if it’s an issue with the theatre. Was refunded and finished the movie at home.

Jodie Holmes

This super comfy theater plays a wide selection of fun, retro, and indy films. Recommend!

Ron Manke

They've really improved the picture quality and sound at the Garneau! Thank you! Awesome theatre now.

albertabowhunter

Older theater' but comfy

Jeffrey Michaud

This is my favorite place to go for a movie. Quaint little theater with one screen, the concession is cash only but the ticket desk accepts cards. There is a cash machine in the venue. The seats are starting to show third age and aren't super comfy but worth it for the eclectic movie choices. Has regular family events on Saturday mornings for cartoons and cereal. Concession has local beers and real butter for the popcorn.

Joe Losby

Great theatre.

Tom Stewart

fun place

Antonio Larriva Gutierrez

Great cinema old fashion the popcorn and very kind the staff

Jerrod Scott

This is an experience! It reminded me of my childhood, it's old school. Sure it's not the best sound system or screen like the newer cinemas, but that's why you go! The people who staff this place are mostly volunteers and are super friendly. This is a community. There is a major issue with accessibility though, if you are severely limited in your mobility or use a wheelchair, you will be able to enter the theatre via the alley, they have done there best with a ramp to enter and exit the building. The staff are incredibly accommodating and will help as much as they can, but know if you use a wheelchair you will not have access to the concessions or the washroom so come prepared!

Geordie Cheeseman

Classy older theatre, also known as The Garneau. Great venue for red carpet events and film sets. Older films are shown here as well, pending pandemics.

Igor Gorelik

Great place for alt films.

Puusch

The Metro is truly a gem. The old school theatre is super old and comfy - smells kind of musty like an old house and I love it. They play old and new releases so there is a great variety.

Mike Vanden Ham

Super cool old school theatre that plays classic movies!

Erin Lynn

Great theatre!

Connor Cooley

Good times

matt canyon

The best is when they play old movies. Great popcorn ans great staff. My biggest complaint is that they have changed the movies they play. Three years ago I could find 2 or 3 movies a month to go and see. I think their mentality is not the same. They do not play as many old classic movies, or great foriegn movies; but seem to focus on movies with political messages.

Noah L

Independent theater.

Stephen Chow

Great place to watch a movie or some event. Retro feeling seating and curtains has a very nice feel to it.

Andy Kuiper

Between here and the Princess - my two fav theatres :-)

Antonio Maillet

So cool

Alicia Brimacombe

I love this theater! They offer a great selection of movies, following current themes, cult classics, quote-a-longs, anime, kids, etc. Tickets can be purchased online or in person. They promote screenings on Facebook which is great as otherwise I would forget about everything. The theater is classic with old style seating and the velvet red curtain on stage. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Anne Poley

It is a nice theatre but because it is so old, it is not handicapped accessible. But I do enjoy the type of movies they show there.

Lujia Cai

Cool venue, it's fun to sit here. They play cool, fun, and interesting movies/films here. The chairs are rocky and sink in an odd way, but it's not a bad thing :) The staff are also very kind.

Evelyn Clark

Interactive "date" with the son. Loved Princess Bride. Happy 50th birthday

Stephanie Curtis

This is literally my husband and I's favourite place to go for entertainment. They always play great movies. The popcorn is SOOO good. And they serve beer/ wine. They also have really cool curated series, like music docs, or staff picks, I want to say there's like 10-15, maybe more, different series throughout the year. Just a great venue and Edmonton staple for a cool thing to do on any given night.

jigar makawana

Great movies but the theater is a little old and need some love

Luis Alberto D'Elia Betolaza

It's such a need for the whole Edmonton community. It's been hosting valuable film festivals and has been showing movies that are unique, beside other popular productions. The theater has a historic value and it has been recently renovated with, in my view, good taste.

b destroys

I love this cinema ♡

BGG

always fun to go to the Garneau

Eric Spartan

Best popcorn in the city hands down. Independent/ cult movies and the home of dedfest edmontons horror movie festival Can't think of anything bad to say about this place

Tanner Ray

Pleasant spot with very friendly staff.

Diego Lapetina

Nice place for alternative movies

Jen Rush

Always love this place. Amazing popcorn, great prices and beer! Support local.

Anick Lavictoire

Most interesting range of programming of any theatre in the city, and the cheapest and best popcorn, too!

Nathan Smith

In my opinion the best theatre in Edmonton. Love the vintage feel and it’s a great night out. Order a drink too the metro is licensed. if you want to make a night of it go for dinner at any of the amazing restaurants near by. Metro you are doing some great things.

Kaleb Dell

Reasonable prices, excellent choices in films and all round good vibe.

Zoe Hawnt Voice / Flute Coach

Old picture house. Shows independent films.

Matt Novak

Awesome theatre

Zac Stiles

Great atmosphere and the price is right!

Christian e

A great local theater with a good selection of films, comfortable seats, popcorn that doesn't taste like cardboard, and a beer list you can drink while you watch your movie. What's not to like?

Darren McLeod (Jegged)

The theatre itself is pretty old and pretty dated but it serves its purpose well for some of the niche and ‘less popular’ films that they show. Thankfully the prices are still reasonable as well

Deja Springfield

Charming old movie theatre, playing a great selection of arthouse films, indies, and classic mainstream films.

Trevor Chow-Fraser

I love Garneau's small, warm lobby with its simple concession and box office. From there, the big open darkness of the theatre feels grander. The stage and red curtains are classic, even if the seats are falling apart a bit. Metro offers great films, and there are occasional theatre and other live events here too.

Bethany Meyer

Wonderful fun theatre, always shows unique, exciting, beautiful movies, old and new. I appreciate that they show japanese films and anime too. Comfy chairs and vintage theatre atmosphere, with delicious food and drinks. I love how they're chill about outside food and beverage too, it's a tradition of my friends and I to hit remedy first for chai then watch a cool movie together. Their interactive shows are amazing too, it's crazy watching a movie with a theatre full of people laughing and yelling, even throwing plastic spoons sometimes. Go to see The Room sometime, it's a riot.

ed hunt

metro cinema is a synonym for cool

Odessa Ashbey

My favourite place to watch a movie! The staff are absolutely incredible and caring. Everyone who works and volunteers there cares so much about cinema and edmonton as a community! Please sit on the main floor in the comfy seats and buy a large popcorn and take it easy!!! Love this place!

Adam Sparrow

Nice vintage feeling, from the signage out front to the prevues before the film. Been fortunate to watch some older films that I never thought I'd be able to see on a big screen. Be sure to check what's playing each week!

Darren Kirby

Great place to see Independent films.

George I

Grate movie theater. It's got that old time vibe. Over all fantastic experience. I recommend going here to see a film.

Katelyn B

LOVE the type of movies this place plays. Always love going to see the Room from time to time. Or if you ever want to catch an indie flick or art house films, this place is for you.

Banafsheh Mohammadi

This is the very heart of Edmonton. To love in Edmonton means walking to the Garneau theater in late winter nights to watch a movie while sipping on your beer. It's a must see if you ever plan on experiencing Edmonton.

Matthew Long

The facilities are not the greatest but it's run by a not-for-profit that is doing great work to showcase independent and art-house films. They often have a bar serving beer and wine for you to enjoy while you watch the show. They also offer the theatre at decent rates so that local artists and other organizations can have a place to host private screenings and other events.

Atom

An Edmonton treasure.

Brett Walker

I loved this experience. I had an old-timey theme and it matched me watching Sharon Tate watching herself in "Once Upon a Time...In Hollywood"

Russ Kocuper

Love the beer and the movies

Clinton Kirk Bernes

An amazing historic theatre, with one-of-a-kind attractions.

Steffen Toxopeus

One of the older cinema theaters in Edmonton, no longer independent but still your goto place for artsy cinema. Very comfortable seating.

khyati gohil

Bad sound system for performance, was very hot with poor air conditioning and seats were rocky

Darrell Winwood

It's old and the seats are REALLY uncomfortable for me but it does have some charm and some fun older movies sometimes that make it worth it.

Jason Perrotta

Long live independent cinema!

Kevin Forbes

Always able to find a good show to watch here. Get the popcorn when you go! Cineplex has nothing on Metro Cinema. (P.S. You should sit in the balcony)

Ashley Schell

Love love love this gem! Classic movie theater experience, make sure to get popcorn and a beer. Be wary tho as they are cash only at concession, but they do have an atm on location so you can always grab some cash. I would recommend going to one of their theme nights like a quote-a-long flick or a cult classic.

Lionel J

Friendly vibes, comfortable and doesn't feel hyper-profit driven. Specifically, you won't have to sit through 20 minutes of trailers before your show. Plays a lot of cool smaller movies. The opposite of Cineplex in so many fantastic ways.

Robert Gill

Best atmosphere and popcorn!

Jorge Pablo Ch. (jpch)

Nice place to watch unique movies!

James Parrott

Excellent theatre. Always playing great movies.

ntown

great place if you are movie lover. have parking spot behind the building. check the website for schedule/reservation.

DeAnn Lawson (Birdy)

My favourite place to go for independent films cult classics and more. They offer ticket sales online as well. Prices for tickets and snacks are very reasonable and less than cineplex theatres.

Kelly H

Great variety of movies in a vintage theatre. Love it.

Fera Soma

I used to work at a small theatre like this and it gives me dope nostalgic vibes

Mundy

Classic movies are always playing here! dont forget to try the popcorn.

Astro MonsterX

Best theatre experience in Edmonton.

David Wilson (Daview)

This is just the best place for watching movies. Lots of old world charm and great people. Plenty if places to eat and drink nearby. Highly recommended!

Oliver Nickell

Incredible theater that plays classic movies frequently, and they serve beer!

Chad Ellis

Great people and great for the community

Nathan H

The best movie theater in town. Always love how they show a little bit of everything. Old, new, and everything not mainstream lol.

Kenneth Dale

Old school theatre, great variety of classic, independent and cult shows, cereal parties, free Saturday movies for kids and Homocidal performances plus movies for Adults! A perfect haven from the impersonal Cineplex experience! Pay parking lot is available behind the Dominoes across the street.

Shreela C

It's the first place I ever saw a movie and 40+ years later, it continues to have a thriving movie going community.

Bill Wolfe

Love the atmosphere, seats need! Replacement.

Nicole Krywionek

Independent theater that had interesting movies. Highly recommended!

Cameron Thomas

Cash only? I guess saving the 3% credit card fee is worth more than someone buying $20 in popcorn and drinks. ATM out of order, hope the movie is better experience

Adam Snider

Great old theatre, full of character. Sound system a bit dated, but still very good.

nader parham

Friendly staff and reasonable prices. They have a great selection of movies

Curtis Farley

This is such a charming old theatre that has lots of interesting shows, not the standard same new release movies that are playing in every other place. The place is a little run down but it has a lot of charm and character that makes up …

Kristie Wiwad

Love the Garneau! Great selection of movies, docs, and events. Always something going on here and they usually have a two for one Groupon.

Zabrina Loxx

I've been here a number of time, I love that this theatre is community oriented, offering small film festival type events, I ended up attending 2 films where Greg Sestero spoke (I just bought tickets didnt read details) and on occasion there are free showings, I've seen a few events out on by Edmonton Opera here as well. Definitely worth following the page, a bit for everyone from indie films to comedy to classics to underground flicks to family reel nights etc!

Saturday Sazaran

The best theatre sound system in Edmonton. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Ryan Harrington

Awesome variety of shows!

Kevin Beckstead

This place is amazing! I probably watch upwards of 20 films a year here. The nonprofit organization that runs the theater curates an awesome selection of classic, new, strange, and wonderful films every single month. They have lots of great thematically linked film series and special events and they serve beer! Staff are friendly and generally awesome. Definitely check this place out if you love film.

Ian Buchan

Fantastic old threatre.

Rob Ritchie

Here or the Princess theatre are probably the best places to go a movie in Edmonton, and definitely have more movies worth watching than the big theatres

Bilb Ono

Best theatre in Edmonton, they play great movies and have a killer concession. Seats are comfy and cheap ticket prices. Love going here every chance I get!

Jack

The venue is interesting, the staff friendly, and the management are really great at engaging in community interests. They provide an invaluable service to the community and city.

Hannah F

Love this place.

Ryjin Vander Hoek

Classic cinema feel, incredibly cool programming, diverse and positive staff. Check em out.

Steph Richmond

We go to the garneau theatre at least twice a month. It's such a great theatre with fantastic film choices, tons of fun events... For example sometimes they do all you can eat cereal buffet with Saturday morning cartoons.... Or they have tons of curated or themed films like Rock and Roll documentaries... There's so much more. But most importantly, the seats are comfortable, the popcorn is amazing, and it's licensed so you can drink a beer while watching your movie

Darienne Blue

Great little theatre that shows a lot of unique stuff. Pretty good concession with prices that are on par and even a bit cheaper than cineplex or landmark. They play The Room and Rockt Horror Picture Show evert month and you can buy tickets online! Its awesome!

Christopher Gaul

Not high tech but high quality love for cinema.

Jon Capus

Great vintage theater experience with ever-changing, interesting programming.

Robert Simpson

The Garneau. Love this for both film and stage performances

Kim Olson

Beautiful old theatre run by a nonprofit and volunteers. Go regularly to keep this gem around!

Gregory Huizinga

The atmosphere of this place makes it a must visit if you are in Edmonton, it shows all the best cult classics in an environment that really pays homage to the greats.

April Prescott

Metro is the best theater in the city. Love the accessible pricing and selection of movies.

Jerrett Hutchings

Very cool, old timey theater run by a not-for-profit film society.

Terry Gent

Such a great place!! Make sure to check out the Saturday morning cartoons and their monthly Garneau Ghost Light Tours of the building!

Lars Wandler

Old school theater with Alt movie selection and great leg room!

Nicholas Bartlett

The best classic cinema in Alberta. Who doesn't love beer and some cinema history

Great place

Natalie Kurek

Such a cozy theatre. Definitely my favorite place to watch movies in the city.

Rob McIntosh

Great spot to watch the great classics of our time! Interactive staff are great I recommend halloween time it was great

Amber “Simber” Armstrong

Best Venue for Concerts intimate and such nice decor.

Rebecca Isbister

Great selection of films, reasonable price for admission.

Corey

Great place to watch artsy movies

Andrae Marchak

Amazing that something as heartwarming as this theatre and the Metro Cinema society that runs it exists. It's like the best of watching movies at home (there's even a couch if you can snag it!) but on the big silver-screen, with such a diverse offering of films that you'll never find in any other theatre. Definitely a place to come and chill and discover what cinema is really all about. That, plus great popcorn.

Darren Majak

Nice old timey theatre with great staff.

Bryan MacKenzie

The staff here are amazing. Have gone to many festivals and held a private screening. The staff went above and beyond what I was expecting and really appreciate it. With they did the turkey shoot again, maybe they lost the announcers.

Brent Housen

A wonderful theater worth visiting.

Sherman Lai

Nifty retro theatre. Still has the smoke smells from whence patrons could light up during movies.

Ferdinand Aguillon

great place to watch nostalgic movies friendly staff

Mike Kachkar

They always have the movies that no one else will show. Brings back memories when theaters were an experience and the rocking back of the chair was a delight. For a special evening with someone please make sure you visit it at least once a year.

Mathieu Johnson

Great looking theatre showing more than the standard pablum

Bibin Joseph

Very old theater.Not enough parking space .Need to do modification of screen size and sound quality.

Cynthia Geria Ganga

I watched Ruth Bader Ginsburg here. It was excellent. My best friend has done lots of stuff here too and they are awesome to him!

Liam Leroux

Favourite cinema in Canada

Matt Harker

Great historic building, great movies, great memories

Kenton Hamaluik

Love just about everything except the seats :(

Mike Jackson

So much fun

Leslie Tshuma

Lovely experience.

Kitty F

THE most badass place for new and retro cinema in Edmonton!

Paul Welke

Garneau Theatre is probably my favourite haunt in Edmonton.

Jordan Carpenter

Best theatre in the city.

Travis Routley

Quaint little theater and they have a liquor license!

Carmen

Great old theatre. Comfy enough seats and always interesting and unique movies. The popcorn is great as well... Way better than big chain theatre popcorn. Staff is great and really into movies!

Jill Easy

This is more than a movie theatre... This is an experience!! You are guaranteed to be blown away if you head to one of their signature events, like their monthly screening of "The Room", the Annual Rocky Horror Picture Show, or their annual fundraiser for the Food Bank at Christmas, playing "It's a Wonderful Life". Think of this as movie karaoke... The audience is part of the show, you're encouraged to sing along, quote along, dress up, all while drinking local brews and eating that buttery, salty goodness that chalks up memories from the past. Metro Cinema is one of Edmonton's finest gems!

Ben Fisher

A really fun atmosphere theater that shows quirky and unique shows, including some old retro cartoons, Rocky Horror, and some indy movies that aren't in other theaters. Ticket prices are good, concession is well priced, worth checking out if they have a movie or event you're interested in!

Gurinder Sundal

Always good to see movies here. It's not expensive.

Rick Bremness

Classic old movie theatre

Jean-Paul Bouliane

Great to see old movies in the theater once again.

Elliot Kerr

Great films at metro!

Darryl Wright

Great old style theater. Seats are comfortable and rock back and forth. Attended a live performance so sound was decent.

Desmond Carney

I love the atmosphere of this place. I'm glad the doors are still open... ANNND they layer the butter on your popcorn like they mean it!

Alex Mula

We go here to see "The Room" on the first Friday of every month and the and it's always a good time.

Lela Bear

I love all the special events they have . I have had many great experiences there.

Lisa Jane de Gara

One of my favourite places to go in Edmonton. Funky, unusual cinema screenings, a rich old-Hollywood theatre (faded, of course, but in a nice way.) Check their website for offerings-- there are often live shows that go with particular movies, such as drag shows or theatre. Great fun!

Joseph Kapler

India Film Festival of Alberta was great. Enjoyed the movie premiere

IdolDigi Kyryn

Went to dedfest. The seats were great the female bathroom was always clean. The staff was so friendly too. The place was small but it felt like a place you would have gone to as a child.

Danny Harms

The girl working was fantastic and a lot of help as we were travelling through and watched a movie.

Mark Bergheim

Super cheap especially for students

Michael Menzel

Nice place to see some of those hidden gems that get passed over by the chain cinemas. Lots of showings of classics as well. It has a cool old cinema feel.

Jeff Requier

Nice old style theater. Plays older movies

Betheiah Storheim (Beth)

We were most recently here for a Fringe play. The venue is nice, good acoustics, good food and drink service. My only complaint is that some of the seats lean WAY back, so much that I had to crane my neck up uncomfortably or hold myself up by leaning on the armrest, just to watch the show. And if I tried to sit up on the edge of the seat, everyone else was also sitting so low, so I felt like I was in the way. I know these seats aren't very old, and maybe it's not possible to replace them now, but it should be a consideration for the future.

roshan ur

For South Indian movies...

Graham Gilmour

Best Theatre in the city. Great selection of films play here. Comfortable seating. Affordable snacks.

Stephanie

I went to see the film "Walk With Me". Everyone here was so friendly and they seem to be passionate about the community. I will definitely be back to support this theatre.

Oldmanboy

A true gem ????

Luke Rinderknecht

Great old theater. Concession is cash only but good prices and popcorn!

Chris Hut

First Friday of every month they play the room!

natasha dawson

Love the Metro!! Always fun and interactive! I love the theme nights/events they host. You have to check this place out if you are visiting the city

Daniel Finley

The only theatre in town I enjoy visiting.

Joel C

Best art house theatre in Edmonton!

Sean Malden

Great selection of movies you won't find at other cinemas

O'Neil

Have had many great visits here. Many great shows and talks. Old school theater.

Alanna Balama

Love the diverse movies shown here. Where else can you watch 20+ year old movies for the first time right on the big screen?? Saw Spirited Away for the first time here and it truly blew me away. Something that a home theatre just can't give you.

Kuruma

Just a Queston Will Roman And Fousey Come Here?

dee clements

One of my favorite places to go! They have the best and most random choices in films and such yummy treats! Also anime!!!! Yay!! Always love the halloween bash too!! I make sure to always attend. Also love the covid protocols in place atm

Linette M

Fantastic opportunity to enjoy movies and features you wouldn't get the chance to see in a Cineplex. Deadfest shows a selection of independent and international horror films. They also show independent and/or classic films.

Tonya Layden

Amazing staff, love their festivals and will continue to go back

Alex Wang

Really, really good popcorns!!!

ランディFatt

Always got something good playing here. I need the unlimited movie pass because I definitely watch more than 30 movies annually.

The Four Jack Podcast

Love coming to this place and watching a film ????

Andrew Batiuk

At least some of the seats are pretty awful... Uncomfortable to sit in, they get stuck when reclining, and they recline so far back that they hit the legs of the person behind. Staff was very nice.

Angel S

Adorable theatre , ripe with history

Brandon Price

Very comfortable theatre and with the problems I have in my lower body I do t say that lightly. Second best theatre seats in Edmonton, I think only the new VIP theatre has better seats.

Devin Lehman

Quaint, volunteer run, older style cinema. Reminds me of my childhood.

Dory Wood

Great atmosphere

Megan Elliot

The theater brings in some great old, and new movies that you won't find at the everyday theaters. Watch for special events including all you can eat cereal shows and kid matinees. It gives opportunities for kids to see movies / shows / cartoons that their parents loved and grew up on.

Gabe Laz

The Garneau Theatre is a staple in Edmonton and hosts locally produced short films as well. A great theatre with a great atmosphere! Highly recommend going here!

Sam Forsyth

Classic films on the big screen and for a great price.

Jason Leshchyshyn

I'm so happy the movie theatre is showing old classics like Princess Bride, but is it possible to maybe make a deal with the school next door to ease the parking issue?

Pedro Perez Taylor

Great movie selections. Home of the International Banff Fulm Festival. But..... it has seen better days.

Alex Tanasychuk

Great spot in the heart of Edmonton's historic community of Garneau, this place has you covered for all your "vintage" movie-going desires. Good selection of movies if you're not looking for brand new releases, plus a few mainstays (e.g. monthly showings of "The Room") and neat events (i.e. 60th anniversary screening of "Them"). Big comfy chairs in the theatre and lots of seating, and conveniently located next to top notch food and drink (Rosso Pizzeria, Remedy, the Sugar Bowl, etc). Having all-gender washrooms is also a nice step into the future. All in all, a fantastic venue for a night out!

Steven Davis

I saw Die Hard at Christmas (2016) here. Fun time, comfy seats, clean bathrooms, good popcorn. What more could you ask for?

Stephan Doyle

Great old style retro theatre.

Scott Walker

Very old nice.looking theatre

Sam Shahin

Classic cinema and really old seats

Rubicon A

Cheap and seats r okay but too many kids cause distraction since its free admission for kids

natalie Szekely

Love the Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!!

Vincent Nacpil

Has a unique selection of movies to watch. It's a nice alternative compared to the standard movie experience.

Md Mayes

Nice theater

Justin Goldstein

Awesome little theatre to see a cool movie. Great venue for weddings too!

Curt Stalenhoef

Edmonton is lucky to have a venue playing these types of movies.

James Lynn

Great place

Bryan Synn

Old school theater that's worth checking out. If you go to the shows after 9 you can park in the High Level Diner parking because there is not much else available. The price of the snacks is fairly decent compared to the big chains of theaters. Didn't see any ghosts but I'm sure they are there. I love the fact that they play old movies, ones that you remember as a kid or maybe you were to young when they came out. I would have given it 5 stars but the gender neutral bathroom is terrible as my daughter went into it and the urinals are next to the sink, what total bulls!/t.

Yohan Son

Always a lot of fun going to a retro style theater .

Kalyna Reid

Fantastic atmosphere, comfy seats, great pricing on snacks and drinks. Staff are polite and helpful. Very clean and tidy. Generally attracts a great crowd, people seem to be respectfully quiet during films.

Stacie Gant

The theater was wonderful! Old fashioned seating that was cushiony and rocked. The selection of movies is fresh and interesting. Reasonable price for tickets. Awesome little eateries everywhere street parking. Being encouraged to participate with the movie was excellent.

Jennifer York

Absolutely charming place !!

Mama Res

Great people volunteering there, fantastic ambiance, and fantastic movie options.

Paige Paige

Went for show of the fringe. Rustic old style theatre experience.

Cheebo27

Good theater with excellent sound quality and good seating options. Unfortunately parking is almost impossible, and it has mixed gender bathrooms which can be unnerving.

kevin milmore

Ok the seats are a little shaky but the theater gives you a flashback to when movies were a night out

Rayna Sabine

Rocky Horror Picture Show Awesomeness!!!

Angela Alvarez

Their popcorn is way better then the big box cinemas.

Tara Taylor

Love this old theater! Great staff!

Shawn Pinchbeck

The best cinema experience in Edmonton! Great films every week. Friendly staff. Best time I've had at the movies all year!

Adam Fizer

Great atmosphere, the new lobby experience is fantastic and the variation of films coming up means there is something for everyone.

Matthew Zaharia

I had a great time, the atmosphere made it an excellent watching experience. If your are planning to pick up snacks there bring cash because the concession is cash only

Justin Sturek

The garneau / Metro is an absolute Staple in Edmonton. Whether it's showing the newest India can film festival film. Or making a classic night of something from your childhood or your past. It stands out, as a place to go and a place to be. If you want one of the last great movie theaters this is the place for you. Make sure to watch they're showtimes and listings as you're not going to get the same movie as everyone else here and if it's worth checking often

Gerry Audell

Art movies, I like going here

Stacey Benson

Beautiful theatre. Best popcorn in the city!

Ron Ruth

Expensive movie for a non profit

Delbert Lewis

Best cinema in Edmonton. One of the few screens left that isn't silvered (multiplexes silver their screens for increased 3d quality, but greatly decreases quality of 2d projections, and 3d sucks anyways). Great sound system. Projectionists and staff make real effort. Picture quality consistently brighter+clearer than most cineplex screens (save ultra avx, and still way cheaper). A few wonky seats, but not that many out of the 500+. Drinking in theatre is a nice perk. $13 dollar price worth it to support great cinema. $10 for students and seniors. Matinees cheaper. Free movies for kids on weekend. Annual passes. Still less expensive than just about any cineplex ticket. If one is looking for a romantic night at the movies by all means go to a shopping mall or brutal big box shopping common on the outskirts of town, but Garneau by far has the best ambience. Negative reviewers have no clue what they are talking about.

Louise Hellyer

A piece of history.

JP

A great theatre that shows older and obscure films. One of the very few theatres in Edmonton that serves alcohol. Concession is cash only. It should be noted that you will be given a plastic cup when ordering any of the alcohol.

Candace Myhr

Great docus

Nils French

Best popcorn in town! Way better than the big corporate cinemas.

Derek Graham

The Room!

John K

Great theater in the university area. They even serve liquor now. Great movies in a vintage theater.

Brad R Sass

We really enjoyed the opportunity to watch The Irishman, given it is limited release, and loved the nostalgic feel of The Garneau Theatre! 3 hours and 20 minutes on the big screen.

Heather McDonald

Comfy seats, lots of leg room, great gender neutral bathrooms

David Atkinson

It's an interesting place due to its age and design.

Brittany

Great date night spot. Fun movies, usually not showing anywhere else and the best popcorn

Darkogirl A

Relaxing place to watch movies

Denin John Antony

The theatre was filthy with all the popcorn and other leftovers from the previous show.

Shelley Martin

Love the staff here. This place reminds me so much of the dates me and my husband used to take, God rest his soul. I love the Garneau Theatre.

docwatcher 024

Fab theater awesome shows

Aaron Reed

Cool old theater. Good popcorn and you can even get a wine or beer

Ahmed Kamar

Nice venue

Dean Thorp-Burton

Pretty cool cinema, except for the fact that as you're peeing in the washroom you're liable to a have a woman come up next to you and start washing her hands... If you're only comfortable with normal, separated washrooms, I'd recommend using another before hand, or holding it...

Michael Bugler

The place is a time machine showing cinema as it was. There is even a piano there just in case. It is a very refined art deco cinema that your grandparents used.

Michael Smith

It is a nice theater!

Michael Tchir

Great place.

Mister bungle Bungler

Great films

Ender Wiggen

I really like seeing movies here. Normally independent movies. The atmosphere, seats, sound and screen shout old style. …

Kacie Norton

Wonderful quaint theatre that hosts tons of fun events

Zohra Ali

I think its only the physical space in terms of chair for which i would rate it 3. Else the movie was really good. Prices were great. Its one place where you can see movies that are not necessarily mainstream but very well done

Ron Andriuk

Tough to find a place to park.

Vivian Balint

Love the vintage feel of the theater (with floor and balcony seating available) and the monthly film guide always has at least a couple films that are of my liking (classic/indie/cult/foreign/anime, etc). Must see : Rocky Horror Picture Show (during Halloween preferably, dressing up and audience participation is highly encouraged!)

David

Wonderful historical building and very fair prices.

Tariq Almaashi

My first time Metro and my experience was very good. An order theater with long history. Good place to see rather quality films with low budgets. Movie that might be missed at mainstream movie plexes.

Morgan McNeely

Absolutely love this theater. Went for two of the Studio Ghibli showings. I do wish they had coffee at the snack counter.

Cory Rennebohm

Went to see a couple of Fringe shows at the Garneau and just had to say what a beautiful venue it is is. Seats are comfortable auditoriums was gorgeous and the atmosphere was so fun. Staff was very friendly and had a really great experience. If you get a chance to go to a movie or live event here take it.

Maple Country Choi

Love this small theatre.

Greg Fjell

Love this classic theatre, great variety of unique films and especially enjoy the theme/event nights selling Alley Kat beer (only for consumption in the lobby of course). Super comfy old school recliney chairs too!

Joel Wenaus

I love this place. Old theater experience. Always playing strange movies you wont find at the cineplex. Ded fest is very cool and im sure they have other events all the time. Now they serve beer. They often play old movies and have played some movies for free. If you love film, you'll like this place.

Tammy-Jo Mortensen

Love everything about metro especially the movies they play and the old theatre feel.

Christopher Bahris

Favorite theater!

MD

Part of history here

Ben Kay

Old, uncomfortable seats, but nice alternative movie selection!

Andrew Anderson-Serson

Great small theatre. Always plays fun or offbeat movies. Real sense of community when you go see a cult classic with fellow fans.

Casey Patterson

Excellent place to see a film especially during these covid times

Tanner hidomne

$13 to watch a movie that's over 10 years old and is a re-run? No thank you! that price is criminal and costs the same as a new release in the theater. I understand you guys need to make a profit to keep the theater open, but that is absolutely ridiculous!!!

Megan Chabot

Really unique place to go!

sherri moore

A beautiful theatre, but give yourself a half hour or so to find a place to park. It's not car friendly.

C S

I love it here! Took my Mom to Christmas Vacation and she was so stoked!

Andrew Chomik

Love the Garneau, the programing is really good - love the Science nights and the Indy film selection ... Also, the classic theatre setup makes you feel like you're watching a classic every time.

Judith Babcock

It was nice to have a festival still on

Renee Gifford

Great night

Alannah Ernestine

MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE LOCAL MOVIE THEATRE! If you haven't been here already, you're missing out. Local beer, fantastic popcorn, and lovely staff really out this place above the rest! My favourite shows to go see are the quote-a-longs, the most lively interactive movie screenings I've ever been to. More specifically rocky horror is very energetic

Maria Barbu

The quaint and vintage feel of the theatre leaves you on the edge of nostalgia. Garneau makes sure to play some non-conventional and critically acclaimed movies which wouldn't otherwise make it on the big screen. Good vibes!!

Lindsay Randall

Love this theatre. <3 Fringe

Jay H

Yummy popcorn.

Daniel McFalls

Awsome seats

Jola S

Unique experience, like going back in time.

Paul Totman

Fantastic. Just saw Peter Jackson's film. Awesome to see that there's a lounge area with alcohol available too.

Such an awesome theater and great atmosphere. The people that work there are friendly and awesome. They put on awesome events and show some good quality movies. Just awesome.

Cool retro theatre vibe

mikeyflies44

Nostalgic movies are good. Screen is quite tiny :)

Tony Unrau

Great place but it's hard to find parking.

Rob MacDonald

Great atmosphere, this is the best place to watch a movie in the city. Forget about Cineplex!

Pedro Pt

Banff Film Festival..... look forward to it every year.

Ian Dobson

Unique theater, unique movies. Whyte ave at its finest.

Avaline Widmer

Saw Colin Mocharie and friends. A Very funny show!

Neil McCarthy

Social distancing was in full effect which was awesomely implemented. Seats were older and not entirely comfortable. Selection of pop and snacks could be better... with multi pack options.

Jay Makawana

Nice old school theater for people who want the retro vibe. But it's cash only

Rachel Altman

Nice staff, good old théâtre, they even served beer!

r t

These guys are an incredible part of the community and program their films very well. They screen quite the variety of movies and there is always something for everyone from kids all the way up to foreign films. Garenau wouldn't be the same without this place.

Nylan Zalitis

Great theater, good schedule of movies, seats are better then some giant theaters

SiuYin H.

Metro Cinema is part of the full package of Garneau Neighbourhood, a historic place to enjoy old classics, newly released films and special events with amusing bathroom facilities!

tawny craig

Its always a pleasure at the Garneau!

Nastassja Nielsen-Ruddell

Love this theatre! Love the old feel of it, and the classic movies. Highly recommended.

Hasna Eltassi

Bathrooms smell nasty and filthy and there isn't separate gender bathrooms. One bathroom for everyone. Most disgusting place ever.

Brandon Sieben

Finally got around to seeing a movie here. What a blast. The involvement from the audience to the movie gave it such a unique experience. Will be coming back for more movies and recommending this to many others.

Linda Williamson

Such a wonderful place..really reminds me of gow the movie experience used to be.

Jordan Wilson

It’s a great theatre.

Geoff Batley

Great little theater
