Cinetopia 23

Worst movie experience ever. They double booked our seats, just like the airlines. Cinetopia used to be great, now it’s just expensive.

We’re ruined on movie theaters.
We don’t even go to the movies very often. We have a 65″ TV with surround sound, comfy ass leather recliners at home, all the popcorn and alcoholic beverages you could want at a fraction of the price.
That being said — sometimes you need a date night out, away from home. We love the Vancouver Mall, we can grab some Roto Sushi, a quick 30 massage at Orchid and then BOOM — watch a movie in basically our living room, all for the small price of $ 1,000.
I’m kidding — but for reals, after 4 doubles ($ 16 a piece), popcorn, our $ 18 movie ticket… we’re in like flynn.
I kid — it’s totally worth it. Bring a blanket though, it gets cold!

It really is an awesome experience.

Awesome place to watch movies. They have 21+ theatres and balconies where they have service until the film starts. Food, cocktails, and beer can be ordered at your seat. It’s very pricy though.

Still like the theater, but the reserved seating and cheap paper tickets are lame.

I go to the movies here about every weekend and they are so accommodating enjoy the great service in the Sky Box that they give

Cinema within the Westfield Vancouver Mall. It gets really busy and crowded so make sure to go early. I like how you can pick and reserve your seats when you purchase your tickets. Ticket prices are higher than average in the area but you get what you pay for. The chairs are a little better than regular cinema seats but they aren’t that much more comfortable. They have different options seating from general admissions to family seating. There is a lot of spacious leg room where you can stretch out more and not be so cramped. They try to keep it fairly clean but there’s always going to be some mess and spilled popcorn on the floor. Movie and sound quality was amazing and the experience was definitely better than an average cinema. The food prices are ridiculous just like any other place. They also serve meals and have movie rooms where you can eat dinner and also watch the movie. They also serve variation of alcoholic beverages. They are convenient since its right there within the Mall.
It’s unique and provides another experience to whoever attends. You pay the price for the comfort and amenities of Cinetopia, but its worth it for the big name movies.

I’ve been here several times and have always had a good experience. We always sit upstairs in the grown up section. Today we saw London has Fallen for $ 11 per person for the matinée. I ordered a cheese pizza and the hummus. We have had the hummus here several times and it is good ⁴⁄₅. I tried the pizza for the first time and OMG the worst pizza ever ¹⁄₅. The crust was thin and so undercooked it was like mush. The sauce had some heat to it, not terrible but unexpected for a place where most people buying a cheese pizza is for their kids. It reminded me of my Boy Scout days cooking stuff in a reflector oven. The waitress came back and asked me if I liked the pizza, I said no. She said they were having problems with their oven. She comped me another entrée which was cool and I got the sliders. The sliders were good ³⁄₅ and fries ⁴⁄₅. The service here as always has been excellent ⁵⁄₅. Overall a solid ⁴⁄₅. Just don’t get the pizza until they work the oven issues.

I went there on ¼/​2016 to see Star Wars 7. My friend and I ate dinner in the restaurant before the movie. Sliders… Yum. The service was exceptional both for dinner and in the theater. Seats were comfortable.
I don’t know how they have time to clean up after the movie. People left the area trashed. I was surprised that so much trash from popcorn to drinks was left for the staff to clean up. I always take mine out and dump it. Guess times have changed.

I have been here to this Cinetopia somewhere around 5 to 6 times. I won’t get caught up in the hype of the Living Room ever again. The price, well it’s overpriced. Maybe my eyes are warped, I know they are color-​blind, but the screen didn’t look bigger to me. Although it was nice to chill/​lounge and have food brought to you while watching a movie, I think their food needs some work. The power went out during one of the movies I went to see and it took more than 10 minutes for someone to come in and say something. That was even after I went out to find out what was gwine on. Debating on whether or not to go back

I like this cinetopia, it’s cozy and doesn’t feel too huge like a lot of the other cinetopias. I like the vinetopia thats attached. The seating is really comfortable!

Had a good experience at Brewtopia (Vinotopia? I have no idea what it’s called) first. I was surprised at the price of drinks; I was expecting them to cost much more.
They delivered our drinks to us and the customer service was again excellent. The movie parlor was good. Next time, we will make sure to get something in row C or E. Alternate rows are seats rather than the couches. The waitress brought us a popcorn very quickly and they bring out your candy in little martini glasses. How fun! There is a 15% gratuity included in the food or drinks brought to you. My small popcorn ended up being $ 6.90 which was a bit ridiculous.
I’m looking forward to going back here for the next movie I go see. The fact that there are no screaming kids is a plus. Most people spending $ 20 for a movie ticket aren’t gonna be your typical annoying movie-​goers.

This used to be my favorite theater, but the movie experience at this location is going downhill fast. Yes, the screens are still large and the sounds systems are great, but the experience of just getting there is worse and worse. The disappointment starts early. This theater shares parking with the rest of the mall, and the parking lot close to the doors is always full. If that wasn’t bad enough, it’s DARK! It’s not that they don’t have lights… the lights are turned OFF!
Once you get into the mall, buying a ticket becomes the next obstacle. They have multiple ticket windows, but tonight there was only ONE window open, even though the line for tickets wound back around the children’s play area. almost out the main walkway. UGH When an employee was asked why they only had one window open, she had NOT explanation!
We just left. We’ll find another theater tomorrow.

Oh man. I won’t be coming back to this place.
The first time we came here, it was to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We were in the movie parlor, 21+ only. Halfway through the movie, it stopped being projected but the sound was still on. Then, they got the picture back up but the sound was off… 30 minutes past where we were meant to be. Spoilers all over the place. It wasn’t good. A few different people went out to ask them to just stop the movie until they got it figured out and one of the employees said: «Don’t you all have cell phones? You could just look at your phones.» Or you could just stop the movie???
Eventually they figured it out, rewound the movie, and then we all got free passes to see something else.
So… this time we went to see another movie in a different one of the theaters; this time it was the GXL 21+ skybox. (So uncomfortably close to other people. Don’t do it.) They started playing Star Wars in 3D and that is not what anyone came to see! We were there to see Hateful Eight in regular HD. How does that even happen? Like… all of the previews were in 3D and we were asking employees if it would return to regular definition. «Yep!» They said. Nope… wrong movie guys. We just left this time and got our money back.

This is hard to pick a star rating for. I came here on a date, the film we wanted was downstairs in a small theater. They assign seating and the only seats were front row in a both so you laid down and watched the film.
The ticket was on the high side, then we went in the restaurant to wait for our time. Football game was on, prices were high, food was ok, service was great. Over all I’d give it 3 stars.
When it was time to go down to see our movie we went down a very full elevator. The seating was comfortable once we got it set up (this took a while. We were so close I couldn’t see the whole screen at once (so missed stuff). Picture and sound were great. The theater was very clean. (Four stars kind of week ones.)
The seats farther back looked better. So I am going for four stars for the theater. I didn’t come for the restaurant. I would come again.
Tip: you can buy discounted gift cards at Costco for here).

I had a terrible experience here, and I would like people to think twice before coming here.
The large theaters, called GXL, is supposed to be a great experience. They even have a slightly more expensive section, available for people over 21 years old. We opted for these seats, as we thought it would be a better experience.
The menu looked good, so we ordered two drinks. They have a single version (for around 8 dollars) and a double version (for around fifteen dollars). We opted for doubles.
The wine that came out was no more than 4 ounces. It was pathetic. The wine was terrible; it was something that would cost less than $ 10 for a bottle at Trader Joes. The drink? Mixed terribly and was a bright hue of pink. I can go to dive bars in Portland and pay three dollars to get the same thing I got. Two drinks, thirty dollars.
That was just the start. Now, the movie comes on, and every person and their mother decides to come out to use the bathroom. The way the «21» section is situated, there is only one single exit for everyone to use. Not even kidding, over twenty people came through to use the bathroom, each time blocking the view of the movie. It was the worst movie experience I have ever had in my life.
Avoid this theater like the plague. You will hate coming here, you will hate the prices of the food and drink, and you will be constantly blocked by middle-​aged men and women who have to use the bathroom two or three times during the course of a two hour movie.

I had a good time at Cinetopia. Sure, the tickets were expensive, but it’s nice to put to your feet up (without being an arse to the guy in front of you), snuggling with the person next to you (for you lovebirds), and having drinks/​food delivered.
So when you see how small each theater is, you understand why shows can get easily sold out. Definitely buy a ticket online beforehand.
I will say I went to one of the last shows of the night (is 10 p.m. that late?), so there were only 6 – 8 other people in the theater with us. At that point, no one was in the lobby and it seemed like there were only a couple employees left. It was almost creepy but I was okay with it.
I would love this if I came with a big group; we could grab a drink in the restaurant/​bar first, then watch a movie while eating/​drinking. Which is awesome.

Cinetopia 23, Vancouver, WA –Oh my goodness I love this theater so much I wish I could take it back home with me! We sat in the living room/​parlor area… whatever the 21+ theater were called. Best. Theater. Ever. We sat in the cuddle couches up front and while the view was a little unconventional (due to the screen being right in your face), being able to lounge, kick back, enjoy a meal was the best movie night ever!
The room is decorated nicely, and yes it is more expensive, but the fact its more limited on seats, and kids can’t be in there, totally worth it. The food is exceptional as well (for being bar type food). We are likely going to go back the next 3 days of our vacation to watch some more movies we missed out on, and I will only settle for those theater because those couches were awesome. I want one for my house to watch movies in! This theater is truly top notch.

So… there are a few things…
I’ve watched several shows here and decided that the parlor was the place to be. The «living room» offers 21 yr old seating on top, the seats are fairly comfortable but limited. I’ve decided that the parlor is the only spot I’ll watch a movie in at Cinetopia. Why? There are 3 big couches that are super comfy up front and the entire space only allows maybe 50 people. I love that. And it’s 21+ so some of the riff raff a holes you get are usually run off. I try to get here early to order food/​drinks and snag my favorite seat. I live in Portland and make my way to watch movies in the parlor because it reminds me of the comfort of watching a movie at home without the stress and clean up.

I am surprised and amazed. Yes you have to be 21 plus to be in here. The tickets is quite affordable when you compare it to the Vancouver in BC Canada. $ 18 is not bad. You get a nice comfortable seating allowing you to put your legs up. Not only that you can order food while watching the movie. I love this concept and it does make me feel like home.
The big screen is pretty big. Getting the last two rows reserved is pretty awesome.
I am definitely coming back for a movie when I am in the hood.

WARNING: DO NOT SUPPORT.
It is absolutely unacceptable to treat people poorly especially when your job is customer service!
You do not have to agree with their choices, but it is not okay to intentionally berate and demean another human being for pure enjoyment. When a transgender individual approached the concessions the employees continually used the wrong pronouns excessively as if to make jabs. Once the manager understood that the customer was transgender, she deliberately laughed every time she used the wrong pronoun. It was inhumane and unjustifiable.
