Colossus Langley Cinemas

Slightly better food at Outtakes than we expected. I had the Bacon & Bleu Burger and my wife tried the Beef Chili Poutine. Both were served warm.
The burger was pretty tasty. The bacon was crisp and detectable. The bleu cheese was pretty mild and hard to detect, but one or two bites it really shined. There was a bit of chipotle kick in there too. And the bun was nicely toasted. TOASTED. It was $ 7
The Poutine was gooey and melty, just like you’d expect. The chili was not very spicy, but had a nice tomatoey, beefy flavour. One or two fries were undercookedIt was $ 8

Finally made it out to this place. Gotta say it was a magical moment!
I’ve been to quite a few different Cineplex theatres and they all offer something different.
The arcade is super fun here. Lots of food options to choose from. There’s something upstairs that looks cool but it was closed at the time.
It’s pretty cool and I quite enjoyed this shindig!

My second favorite location. Not as crowded as other cinemas. It’s like a spaceship inside. Same food as most locations. Unfortunately the Burger King is gone which was a selling point. Reserved seating is a plus. Bathrooms are cleaner than others.

Update. Maybe people complained or its just common sense but they will now give you a free small tap water it was actually cold lol. Also, played some of the video games pinball in particular was fun.

Probably one of my most favorite theaters to go to! It’s huge, the movie selections are great. Most auditoriums have seats that lean back. The service is almost always quick and easy. The staff knows their movies and the most latest ones too. The food is pricey, but that’s a given with all theaters these days. Go cineplex go!

Pretty much like most theatres to me (Cineplex ones that is). I had bought my tickets online… came in, did the self checkout (the barcode scanner wasn’t working), went to theatre… watched movie. Tons of parking… it was a Monday night, not assuming it’s usually a busy movie night… most people are probably waiting to fill the place on Tuesday.
Not in my regular haunts… but wouldn’t stay away from it… very average experience.

Went to watch Intesteller, Sunday 16 Nov at 6:40p
1) They block Unilocal. CA from within their local WiFi — I wonder why?
2) Toilets were extremely dirty, toilet paper everywhere and sinks counter tops filthy — looked at the cleaning chart, was done «5 minutes» before. Yeah, right.
3) No-​one serving, waited 5 minutes for someone to come by at OutTakes — was there for a 6:40 showing
4) Yam fries were burnt
5) NONE of the tables had been wiped down, all were dirty. Went upto 5 of the staff who were stood round chatting with each other, so we asked, nicely, if someone could come over and give them a wipe. They huffed. We waited by the tables and they sent someone over who just re-​arranged the chairs and then left. Asked again then finally someone came.
6) The condiments area was dirty, there were grease marks on the top, ketchup and containers everywhere, a staff member came over, refilled the straws and walked away.
6) First time at an Imax… not bad, but unimpressed. UltraAVX is better. UAVX has wider screen (16:9 I think) and felt like it was more immersive. iMAX had 4:3 and was cut-​off top and bottom.
7) The inside of the complex is very dated, you can tell it’s had a revamp, but it looks like something out of the 80’s, and that’s the bad 80’s, not the good 80’s!
8) The seats were very narrow, but at least they kinda reclined.
Overall, for nearly $ 100 spent on tickets, food and drinks for 2 people — won’t go there again.

If you’re going to charge more for Ultra AVX, maybe you should fix the giant scratches on the screen… just saying.

Movie theatre was awesome!
Great seats!
Great food!
Bad prices!
Gourmet popcorn isn’t that gourmet.

Great Experience… Fantastic Theatre with Lots of Variety; IMAX, AVX, DBOX, 3D, etc.
Friendly and Courteous Staff that are Super Helpful. Have aways had a Wonderful Time.

Living in Langley, I have frequented Colossus MANY a time. I would like to say that I have to agree with Andrew S.‘s review and say that it has definitely started to take a downward spiral from what it used to be. The joint isn’t all THAT bad though.
I will say that the prices are very high, as most theatres can be these days. Having a SCENE card is a huge bonus and I definitely recommend it. They also recently introduced a pre-​show game on your smartphone where you can win points/​prizes which is a nice little added bonus considering you pay an arm and a leg to watch a movie.
I do love that they have many different features at Colossus. You can see IMAX, AVX, 3D movies and they even have D-​BOX now with the interactive seats. To be honest, D-​BOX was NOT worth the $ 50 for two tickets. A good experience, but I will probably never buy it again. Way over priced.
All in all, good place to see a movie but be prepared to spend a buck or two.

I’ve been to this Cineplex a few times and I have to say that the experiences have been positive so far. IMAX quality is amazing albeit that the seats were a little bit narrower than usual. The cinema rooms and washrooms are always clean (unlike Richmond Silvercity)
This cinema caters to an older crowd, which is nice, as I didn’t have some teenager talk, email/​text and kick my seat during the movies.

One of the biggest theatre I have been to other than the one in Coquitlam.
I would highly suggest getting a Scene card if you don’t have one already. You get points per movie and when you get 1000 points, (equivalent of watching 10 movies), you get a free movie ticket.

Still the best theatre since the 90s

When I was a kid and growing up to Kelowna, coming to visit my aunt in Langley and going to Colossus was such a highlight. Mostly because there isn’t a theatre quite like it, with the giant spaceship on the outside. Growing up in Kelowna, our biggest theatre played 5 movies (now it’s 10!), so Colossus always blew my mind because you had a choice between like 30 movies. Now that I live in Vancouver, the Colossus excitement has died down but I still have a special place for it in my heart. It has an awesome IMAX theatre, there’s lots of food and movies to choose from, and it’s a fun place to go see movies with friends. It’s definitely a must if you are in the Langley area.

This is just another one of those insanely larger overpriced movie theatres. As Dianna says it does have a lot of food choices but the costs are high and the place is not so clean.
I will probably be back with friends but as with other places I have reviewed, it’s not a place I will seek out intentionally.

From the outside Colossus seems gigantic, but it’s not that crazy coming in…
Just by my experience when watching Bad Teacher here, here is what I can say…
Pros:
1. Plenty of movie showings
2. Wide variety of food choices inside and out
3. Offer IMAX
4. Close to HWY 1
Cons:
1. High Ticket Price
2. High Food Prices
3. Not so clean

I remember when this theater first opened. It was the place to go if you lived in Surrey, White Rock, Langley, and Abbotsford. This was mainly due to the wide variety of movies and showtimes, and not the ticket prices which were much steeper than other theaters in the Fraser Valley at the time.
I would say that it isn’t quite as grand as it was when it first opened. A lot of the original food options have disappeared, like many other theaters nowadays. However, there is still a great selection of restaurants scattered around the theater (many of which offer dinner/​movie ticket combos) which is super convenient when planning a night out with friends/​a date. The building has experienced some wear and tear and it can get quite crowded (I find Sunday matinees are really the best time to go). But the theaters all have a good layout with reasonably comfortable seats and lots of leg room.
I still think this place has a great selection of movies and lots of showtime options, and if nothing else, it gets nostalgia points for those of us who remember the big fuss when it first opened.

big theater, lots of screens, and an Imax screen… but those are the only good things.
The prices are RIDICULOUS!!! The tickets alone are *$cha-​ching$* … don’t even think about snacks… they don’t even make the popcorn fresh anymore. They keep it in bags under heat lamps… eeek! And it didn’t even taste good when it was «fresh»
******TIP **** GO to The Clova Cinema on the main street in Cloverdale. Only one screen, but a really cool old theater with great ticket and snack prices… BRING YOUR OWN CONTAINERS for drinks and popcorn and they fill it for only 2.50… and candy is only 1.50 :)
Avoid the big chain theaters and support local history instead. :) It makes for a more interesting movie and dinner date. (PLUS… you can stay for 2 movies for the price of 1!!! GREAT DEAL at the Clova :)

Why does it have to be this way?
So here is some background on this once proud spaceship in Langley: It used to be part of the Famous Players chain, only to eventually become part of Cineplex. The change has not treated Colossus well. It seems to be in a general state of disrepair. Many armrests are broken/​wobbly, the little lights on the stairs many are out, etc. It seems the automated touch screen ticket dispensers are in a constant state of disrepair… There was a restaurant, the Pod, that was above the crowd with somewhat reasonable prices and adult beverages, Cineplex closed it and it sits empty. There are display cases that FP would have filled with props from movies and such and now they are empty or have posters advertising how great Cineplex is. Argh!
You used to be able to get almost any flavour shaker for your popcorn, it was great! Pepsi galore, and dill pickle popcorn, oh how I spent many a hard earned dollar there… now there aren‘t any flavours and they switched Pepsi to Coke, ugh. Pizza Hut and New York Fries, gone!
Recently I went for a special ‘live‘event (about the tv show LOST), that was not live for the west coast. For stuff and giggles, the projectionist decided to start playing the end of the east coast feed, which ended up including a clip we didnt want to see yet. A couple of us went out and complained and they tried to tell us that it was the pre show, NO it was definitely not we tried to explain. However, they just didn‘t care. They wouldn‘t stop it. Then they announced oh, it would be starting half an hour later than they had on the ticket and website, and then blamed Bell. Even though they had the schedule to check themselves…
It is just a bit of a comedy show to go there, I‘ll go if there is something I can‘t miss, but otherwise I‘ll save my money and go to 5^th avenue in Vancouver or Pacific Cinematheque.
