Reviews of Cineplex Cinemas Sydney (Private Detective)

Paul MacVicar

Movies great, should have stayed with Empire theatres popcorn. CINEPLEX POPCORN IS GROSS, HORRIBLE, DISGUSTING AND USUALLY COLD! Need good popcorn to enjoy good movie.

John Gibson

Jade Gilmet- Gillis

Only show in town

philipbinoy

One of the best multiplex.

Timothy Lunn

Unfortunately the Movie experience is becoming unbearable, wading threw commercial after commercial after commercial before the trailers then eventually the movie. Gone are the days of a disney short cartoon then the movie. I get enough commercials on Tv. Let alone to have to sit threw them at the movies. Was the movie good. When it finally started i enjoyed it. Please drastically reduce or remove the commercials your only thinking of profits and not the movie goers experience. Thankyou.

The Cromwell Brothers

Only movie theater around

jordan timmons

Fun, expensive

Earl O'Neil

Great helpful staff.

Harpreet singh

Nice place

Emma Reid

I'm thankful we even have a theatre in Cape Breton with how little we have here. It's kept very clean in the lobby but it's rare to see a spotless theatre floor since the next rush of people always come in soon after. I understand. Only recommendations are more tables by the doors, and if possible lower some costs.

Matthew David

Good snacks and comfy seats.

Ariel L

Had a great time, snack guy that served us was super nice.

Brandon Macinnis

Apparently they have popcorn

FSC Films

Options are limited for a movie viewing experience, of course, but the wait times, overpriced beverages and food items, and the length of time before the movie actually begins is dreadful. The food can hit-or-miss, and depending on what theatre you're seated in, your personal experience and opinion will have vast differences to others. If you're looking for a movie night experience, Cineplex isn't a poor option, but don't raise expectations too high. Still, it's a decent establishment with friendly staff.

Brandon

Not a bad theatre, miss the empire popcorn

Courtney Watts

Teenagers were talking throughout the movie but other then that the experience was was good.

Michelle Dunn

Always good tried the new smore cone and had pretzel bites yummm

Elle Sing

Great staff There!

Kelly Spurrell

Decent. My boyfriend could have picked a better movie tho.

Leah MacPherson

The only movie theatre in Cb. What do you expect

nicholas tuplin

Girlfriend threw up, i had to run to the toilet and heard 2 other people got sick on the popcorn or the so called butter. Not good experience.

ABI SHARMA

Great place to spend leisure time

Loretta Ash

Rocket man was awesome!

Jessyca Reid

Fairly regular cineplex to be honest. They do have quite a large choice of movies for the location and will also do the opera and ballet specials, which is nice.

Liam MacDonald

The only Cineplex on the island. It's a smaller cinema with 9-10 auditoriums. They play all the current releases along with special promotions and because of that...I can't complain.

Mary Dennis

Seating is limited. Mask is mandatory. Menu is limited - pretzel bites, ice cream and pizza are not available. Pre show has technical difficulties (no signal). Temperature is freezing. Wear a light jacket or a sweater/cardigan.

b penticost

Eat before you go !!

Jerin Jacob P

Movie place for sydney

Whitney Paige.B.

Love it but nowww...when you choose to spend money to see a show.. what if you want to go like 4 shows in a day as a general .. they only let you get 200 points.. cut you off.... and the 2500 point deal.. reg popcorn 2 reg pop. 2 general tickets .. are now 3500. . Thats insane... but i realllly hate now ... is only getting 200 even if you have more than 3 ppl.. but .. you only get 20 more points on 100 points on one general online ticket.. and thats not even alot... and internet can f up so easily ...and it very annoying .. like it should be 200 or closer to 200 .. not just 20 extra ... woohoo points... . And one kid is only 50 points... wth is that ... i dont even have kids .. but kids should be the same amount like general.. or alil more .. theres more kids in the world than adults so they get treated like chop liver . We all are though ... stop being so cheap .. we as costomers should be treated better than this.. .. i hardly go to the movies now cuz of this bull...

John M

Good theater not too busy and clean.

DalJit Singh

One and only Cineplex cinema in cape Breton island

Rosanne Mcpherson

Amazing. Great movie

Roshan Mehul Goud Pabbati

Good experience

Lyn and Dwayne Roach

Theaters clean. Staff was unenthusiastic about helping with menu choices.

Caper31

Always a great experience

Raj Hirapara

Awesome

Justin McGuigan

Just got back from a movie and supper, I attended the 4pm showing of Disney's Frozen-2 with my daughter's and it was wonderful. Paying for the ticket at the counter was nice but I personally find it can hinder you if all you're in line for are a set of tickets and not food. Therefore I gave this experience 4 of 5 stars. ..luckily they are very friendly and a gentleman at an open cash for gift cards helped with the purchase of just tickets in a timely manner, as it was 3:55pm, no wait in line this time. ???????????? ..I went out for food after getting seated in the theater. Great service and a wide variety of items to order from including pizza, pretzel bites, hotdogs, smoothies and much much more! All in all it was a pleasant trip to the movies!

william anthony

It's a nice theater, it could use a few more arcade games but it's good all in all

Kyler Dyck

its good just the seat in the cinema i was in was hard

Angry Person

clean, friendly staff, sufficient parking. but i must say snack prices (such as popcorn, candy, soda, etc.) are ridiculous.

Gurkirat Singh

Not too big screen and a little uncomfortable seats

Jane Timmons

Line ups for tickets and food need to be better organized

Avery Varnes

While it is the only theatre in the CBRM, it does a decent job of being a part of national franchise. In my many years of being a film goer, I can think of a few hiccups I've experienced while watching a movie and it does tend to overlook smaller, independent films. However, staff work hard there and most of the time, I come away content with the overall experience.

Kristen Snow

I paid $7 for a small root beer. Not okay.

Michael McGuire

Typical chain movie house. Usually has current movies. Sound and projection system ism are excellent.

good job bob

Great theatre with ten screens, 6-7 are stadium seating. Good turn over of movies with lots of options for your night out. Good snack options; lots of popcorn combos and pretzels, nachos, candy and frozen yogurt. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Theatre is always clean - several kiosks to get your tickets or you can pick them up at the concessions stand.

Qiqi

Love this place so much!! I love coming to there and being able to see the movies I would love to see with a kind of low price!!

OrangeSpy121

Good prices (before food)

JoAnn Macm

It's the only theatre in town. The concession stand is way to expensive. The seats are comfortable and the theatre seems pretty clean.

Foucault Effect

I'm happy to have this theater here, but it makes no sense to not be able to eat food in the theater but there's a restaurant in the same parking lot packed every night. "Buy food for when you leave tho". $9 chocolate bar that I can only …

Robert C

Expensive

Jessica Huynh

Cozy place to watch movies

Beanz “Teabeanz” Mack

It's so small compared to Bayers lake. But it's quaint and the staff were friendly.

Arun dev

Cineplex sydney is the only cinema theatre in 130 km of cape breton We have enough machines to take the tickets and the service is pretty good When it cones to the cost if snacks and food inside,its pretty high I wuldnt recommend it They have around 9 sceeens Very neat washrooms Most if the screens are pretty small but still they are ok If the film stops playing during showtime they give you 2 free tickets

Chris MacIntosh

Pricey concessions $$$$$$$

Stuffy Brothers

Great time with my family

Dwaine Hill

Norman Earle

Considerable wait time at the concession stand. Not enough staff!

TheTripleDeuce

Has about 5 stadium seating cinemas the rest are old school seating very cramped

Michael Morin

Great cinema and, best of all, no lineups the evening we went.

Doug Ivey

What on earth were they thinking when they got rid of "banker style" lineups at the main counter?

Shelly Hamilton

I only gave one star because they were closed, and therefore I could not give a proper rating or review.

ken dumont

nice seats - great selection of confection

Chen

Nice place to spend time

Eli Jakeman

It's so expensive to go to the movies.

Awesome theatre

Glitch Clowe

Seating on some theaters are very umcomfortable

Lynical

Great movies wish we had IMAX though long lineups sometime so show up early to get the best seats.

Kaylee Bernard

I’m not one to complain but I do believe people need to know this... I went on a date with my fiancé about 3 months ago, me being as anxious and paranoid as I am and constantly looking around during the movie... well I didn’t expect to see a rat run around the floor and reported it and the worker told me they are already working on it, another time we watched bohemian rhapsody, I couldn’t tell my fiancé no because he was so excited about this movie, I took one for the team and decided to give it another shot. A rat ran down the stairs and this time multiple people seen it and screamed. I would’ve thought they’d fix the issue by now but I don’t think I’ll be going back until it’s fully under control.

SARATH BABU PANIKKASSERY

Very clean, great building and great staff.

Alen Joe Francy

For a Good movie experience

Sandy Michalik

New pizza is delish

Matthew Matlock

From it's days as the Empire Theater I've been here too many times to count. Always friendly staff ready to serve. The small arcade is a good spot to kill time before a show although I wish they wouldn't switch the games out so much. Food is excellent. The addition of pizzas to the menu was a great choice.

Sree Venkatesh

No competition, No substitution

Hetul patel

Seats are hideous and they have ckear signs of wear and tear. Been there for CBU lectures as an campus extension of CBU. Screen is good but seat upholstery needs to be changed.

Yuri

really pricey but its a great theatre... but my popcorn cost like 10 bucks so i would suggest to sneak in a treat.

frank doucette

Can't beat a large screen and buttered popcorn.

Countrx

Quite a nice place to see your favourite new movies or shows! Although prices can be high, think about their bills. To run multiple big screens at once. If you are sensitive to food, I don't suggest buying snacks.

K Gore (Admiral Gore)

Thought I lost my wallet so was having a bad day but the service and experience brightened my. Found my wallet the next morning.

Arlene McPhee

Its ok. Seats are not as comfy as I remember

Jennifer Lambe

Good theatre with nice staff and plenty of parking.

Manan Patel

I went to see lion king with my friends on 28th July in auditorium 2. Our show was at 9:45 pm. The movie started and we were wondering what's going on as the theatre lights were still on. By the time we realized it was 10:02 pm and we missed like 20 min. So I had to walk out of the auditorium to complain about the lights. They did turn them off but I was expecting a much better customer service/experience than this.

Anita Burke

Great renos since I was last there. Clean bathroom. Friendly staff.

Harold Doucette

Like going here for movies

Joe Kelly Sylliboy

25 dollars for 2 drinks and popcorn and 1 treat it's too much it used to be less than 20

James Twain

Awesome cinema with good screens. The drinks and a popcorn are overpriced though.

Michelle Green

Clean, great service

Nahla Almaskati

They can have better chairs ... Come on its 2018

Lily Jones

New restrictions not allowed food or drinks in the theatre at all.

George Toney

Movies only place in sydney

Jason smith

Consistently terrible experiences at this location. They don’t do anything to remedy people talking and being on their phones during movies. And if you’re stuck in theater 3, you can hear the loud lobby music over the movie you’re trying to watch. Locations like this are why movie theatres are dying. You’re better off going to the drive in or waiting until a movie goes to video.

Devon Horne

Great

Richard Woodland

Hi .We are people who go to the show every week and sometimes twice.I have to mention about the dirt of the seats.My god we get dressed up and go out for dinner and a movie and you have to sit in a seat full of dirt.Its not just a few seats,we been through the whole theatre and the seats are all the same.please do something about it.thank you.

Debbie McDonald

I really like going to the movies

Fazeela Waqar

3d screen is best..

Chris Easton

Great staff. Always enjoy my time here.

New Waterford Legend

Great people that have worked there a long time even when it was empire theaters before Cineplex took over. Hot pretzels are great I get the salt ones and the cinnamon ones. Popcorn is orville redenbacher and delicious. Boston Pizza is just outside which allows for a great spot to do dinner and a movie. ????

Carol Vickers

Loved the movie. Great prices and great place.

Cecilia Currie

Movie was terrible. Food was good

Gerard MacDougall

Michael Mcneil

Very expensive refreshments

Cliff Parsons

All good

Tabinda Khan

Movie suppose to started at 10:05 and it's 10:45 we are kept watching trailers of multi movies. Theaters smells hilarious and musty. Old small theater cold and dirty. We drove 110 km to watch a movie which disappointed us with 45 minutes trailers of movie with bad smells and cold. Had to leave. Last row which is worst. Gives you neck pain not fun!

Anne Marie Coish

Theatre was clean and popcorn fresh.

Yanique Vidal

Small but ok. 4 stars because I had to walk from one end of the building to the other to use the washroom.

Brian Anthony

No surprises...Typical multiplex cinema . Smaller in size so best to get there early or plan off day.

TP Brewer

OK place but makes me miss Toronto

Robert Benison

Great experience. The staff were excellent. Unfortunately I had to witness them having to deal with a woman who refused to wear a mask, snuck into the theatre with her kids to a sold out theatre and then refused to keep distance from other paying patrons. She then caused a huge scene by yelling and refusing to leave all the while refusing to social distsnce...The staff all handled it extremely well but it's unfortunate they have to experience that sort of abuse from the public while working at a theatre. ????

Travis young

Price dor snack are very expressive.

Trish French

This place is so weee, I'm not used to going to a movie place that has such small theaters. However the lines move so much faster.

Rapan

Loved the experience as we got to see a fight, for real.

Rowena Sinclair

Great

Mike Bailey

Bring your wallet Very expensive food
