Cineplex Odeon Eau Claire Market Cinemas

I was less than pleased with the old dilapidated look of the theatre. Coming from Toronto, this was just shocking. It was a first but the movie was good.

The cinema is old, with simple chairs and ours specifically were very dirty and stained. The room is small, sound and screen are good. Nice staff. Good popcorn, coffee, cheap parking. I would only go back there if I was downtown. Otherwise I would choose a more modern cinema

I have been to this theatre a few times due to its proximity. Every time I hope that it has done some renovations. The chairs are old and uncomfortable. Wish they would do something about this to attract more people to this theatre. With the growing downtown population it's disappointing that they have not invested more into this theatre. Currently going to theatres that are more updated.

We made a mistake of going there to see Avatar in 3D. The video quality was very disappointing. Out of focus and washed out (too light). Also, it was difficult to sit in old hard chairs for over 3 hours.The floor was sticky under our feet. Will never go to this theatre again.

Theatre will be closing within the next year as shopping centre to be torn down so it is understandable that no renovations have been done. Convenient location for me and not busy. Seats are stationary upright, as in they have no sway, so can become quite uncomfortable after more than an hour.

Theatre 3 has shown its age for sure.Seats aren't very comfortable, the screen is too high. Especially for a 3:15hr showing of Avatar 2.Staff are friendly, parking isn't free. Screens aren't great for high fidelity movies. Sound system isn't that great, the rear channel seems to have retired. Bathroom signage is a curious confusion. After seeing a film in theatre 3, I found myself early on wishing I was either at home with my 13yo lcd tv and brand new 5.1 sound system, or across the street from my house in the recliners at the landmark theatre.It's not bad, just past its prime. I remember when it opened and it was the hot spot in town. Not so much any more. Feels like a relic from my childhood that refuses to either grow up and monderize, or own it's eccentricities like other classic Calgary theatres such as the palace or the plaza.Feels like the forgotten child in a family of stars and innovators. It should be celebrated for its place in our history, upgraded, or shuttered.Leaving it to rot like this is cruel to the community, the staff, the industry, and movie goers.

Great theatre, not crowded, secure underground parking ($3/2 hours weekends),Or street parking available.Nice staff; laid back environment. Good theatre sound quality and picture. Older seats but not a big deal to me. Clean washrooms (ladies was) and lobby, quick & efficient concession.4*’s just because they could bring back a few arcade games, & the self per purchased ticket dispenser down or doesn’t work- the staff just scanned my phone. Bottle water $4.25, but I don’t think it’s any different then other Cineplex theatres. Bring your own bottle of water.Overall still my favourite theatre. Unfortunately Eau Clair mall itself has gone downhill. Probably due to rent the stores have to pay. Still some great unique shops but close early on Saturday.

Maybe the oldest theatre in town hard to find parking and when you are inside the mall no directions which made hard to find theatre as it was my first time in. Staff was friendly but location was hard to find and need proper directions.
