This theatre really needs improving. The chairs are horrendous for one. I would say its only clean about half the time i go there and theres always a musky smell in the theatre. The rest of the mall has been getting an upgrade, famous players should be able to afford to do some redesigning and it would bring in more customers as well. I live right by KP but still go to polo for my movies. If you can't beat em, join em. Time for an upgrade.

This is a smaller theater but that's not necessarily a bad thing for a lot of people. The seats are very comfortable and there's plenty of legroom. They get most of the more popular movies so you could probably go once a week and see something current. It's a well run place and you see people putting in the effort to keep it clean. They should check the trash cans in the theaters themselves though as the one in ours was full but I found another one in the lobby. It's a solid operation.

I like this theater because it's local and shows all the most popular films. It's easy to get tickets online and in-person here and the parking is great. It's also easy to take the bus here if you have friends who use transit. But it is rather bare-bones compared to the Polo Park theater and could use some more cleaning in the seating area.

We went to mission impossible 3DThe concession line was SLOW. Once in the theatre we put on our glasses to watch the movie. It seemed blurry. Very blurry and out of focus. My date and I put our glasses off and on. Adjusted the angle of viewing etc. It was still blurry. We asked the people behind us what they were experiencing. It was the same. My friend approached an attendant to voice our concern. They stopped the movie. Apologized for problems they had been having. Restarted the movie in proper 3D. Why, if they were having problems, would they play 2-3 minutes of a movie before recognizing there was an issue. Why wait for a customer to voice their concern. It was a very good movie. But a bad movie experience. My first movie in 20 years. I loved the seating. And the floor wasn't sticky like I remember them being in the past. I'll go back to kildonan place for another movie.

While a smaller location, our experiences have been good. Popcorn seems fresh and the staff is great.
