Go {Really} Big Or Go Home At The Cineplex
Cineplex cheap movie Tuesday just got cheaper. Here’s how you can see jumbo-screen movies at a lovely, discounted price.
SUPER VALUE | With Apple TV, a local video store (yes, we still have one in our neighbourhood) and Netflix to choose from, my dh and I rarely leave home for a movie anymore—why would we want to deal with crowds and potentially bad seats when we can watch most of what we care to see on our large flat-screen TV with (admittedly dated) in-wall surround sound.
But all that has changed after last week, when friends asked us to join them in downtown Vancouver on “cheap movie Tuesday” to see Snow White and the Huntsman at the Scotiabank Theatre’s UltraAVX.
While not quite IMAX quality (both are digital cinema, but the UltraAVX screen is smaller and the sound system less nuanced than the IMAX, say some critics), UltraAVX has enough of the JUMBO going for it (super BIG picture, GIGANTIC sound) to please most movie viewers. It definitely pleased us, but then so did the fact that with the UltraAVX we could reserve the exact (rocker) seats we wanted so we didn’t have to stand in anything remotely resembling a line.

Of course, the other bonus was the super Tuesday price. UltraAVX tickets are regularly $15.99 each (for general admission 2D), but Cineplex Entertainment’s Tuesday price is just $10.99, with a SCENE card (Cineplex’s perk-laden loyalty card; we didn’t have one, but signed up on the spot). Our UltraAVX tickets were cheaper than the $12.99 charged every day for one of their less sophisticated screening rooms.
As it turns out, I can be lured off the couch and out the door for a BIG screen movie, particularly when the experience comes with perks as well as a double-discount price. So it was off to Prometheus (pictured at the top of the story) last night and, who knows, maybe out again for Rock of Ages next week.—Ruth Rainey

I got an email a few weeks ago saying that Silvercity Coquitlam and Metrotown are offering an even better deal for June. You can watch a movie for only 500 Scene points instead of the usual 1000. I went to see Snow White and the Huntsman last week in UltraAVX for free (500 Scene points). It’s only for the month of June though.
Great to know. Thanks so much for sharing.—eds
