Central Parkway Cinema

I was pretty skeptical about this theater, but for $11 for a South Indian movie, it's totally worth it in Canada. The projection here is great, really bright and colorful. The sound's decent too, with JBL speakers. Seating's okay. I wouldn't recommend it if the ticket price was higher than what I paid today. Restrooms were fine. I'd suggest they clean the halls better after shows. The theater itself is a 3-star, but I'm giving it 4 for the price and projection quality.

I recently visited Central Parkway Cinema to watch a new Mollywood horror movie. It’s one of the few nearby theaters that regularly screens Malayalam films, which is definitely appreciated. However, the overall movie-watching experience was quite mediocre. The theater feels very dated, almost like something from the 1950s, with no signs of renovation or modernization. The acoustics are poor — during quieter moments in the movie, I could clearly hear sounds from the neighboring screen, which really broke the immersion. The picture and seating are decent but nothing impressive. On the positive side, ticket prices are about $3–5 cheaper than other cinemas like those in Richmond Hill or Albion, which might explain the lower quality. If you’re mainly there for the movie itself and don’t mind a bit of old-school charm and some audio distractions, it’s serviceable. But for a proper cinematic experience, there are definitely better options nearby.

What a disappointment... We were here last night to watch a great entertainer...the movie was absolute blast...but then the theatre is just absolute trash... The seats are broken and the place is untidy... Well that doesn't seem to bother the organizers...as they charge more n more money irrespective of the condition of the theatre. People pay for an experience not for pain. I have severe back pain due to the nasty seat which is broken and such a discomfort for 2+ hours movie time. Wish I had a chance to raise this to next level and ensure others don't have to go through similar disappointment.

I booked tickets for Jana Nayagan, originally scheduled to release on January 9, 2026. The movie was postponed due to legal issues, and the show was cancelled just 1–2 days before release. They publicly stated on social media that refunds would be processed soon. I didn’t rely on that alone — I went to Central Parkway Cinema in person on the day of the scheduled show, and staff there confirmed that refunds would be issued. It’s now January 24. That’s 15 calendar days and roughly 10 business days since the cancellation. I’ve received no refund. Calls go unanswered. Emails get no response. Social media messages are ignored. Social media comments section was filled with such refund messages and they turned it off within a day (they have time to do that). At this point, I’ve formally filed a complaint with Consumer Protection Ontario. Taking customers’ money, promising refunds, and then going silent is completely unacceptable. Beyond this incident, the theatre experience itself is terrible. The screen is noticeably dim, the sound system is extremely poor, and honestly, the theatres I watched movies in back in India 20 years ago offered a better experience than this. I WILL NEVER BE RETURNING TO THIS THEATER!!!

BELIEVE THAT YOU DESERVE MUCH BETTER AND STOP VISITING THIS THEATRE. This theatre easily offers one of the poorest movie-going experiences in Canada. While I appreciate your effort to represent regional cinema, the overall experience at this venue is quite disappointing. The theatre lacks proper seating arrangements, visibility is obstructed if someone sits in front of you, making it difficult to enjoy the movie. It feels like the theatre was built just for the sake of having one, without any proper planning, research, or consideration of how people actually watch movies. On top of that, I must say that, considering what they offer, the ticket prices are still pretty high, with absolutely nothing to justify the cost. It’s clear they are unwilling to invest even a small amount in improving the viewing experience, yet they expect people to keep coming back and spending money. Moreover, the customer service is poor. Guests are often made to wait longer periods before entering due to delayed cleaning and crowd management after prior shows. Another concerning issue is the handling of Tuesday half-price ticketing. While this is a much-anticipated deal for many of us, the theatre neither displays showtimes on their website nor confirms them in person on Tuesdays. We suspect this is an intentional move to avoid honoring the half-price policy, which we feel is unfair and disappointing. It almost feels like they believe customers will simply accept and tolerate this substandard experience. But honestly, why would anyone pay hard-earned money for a theatre where you can’t even properly see the screen? Mississauga deserves better. Until they fix these fundamental flaws, this theatre is not worth your time or money.

Great Experience! Had a wonderful time at this theatre! The place is very clean and well-maintained, and the staff are all friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming from the moment I arrived. A special shoutout to the manager, who was extremely professional and kind truly made the experience even better. It’s clear the team here cares about customer satisfaction. Highly recommend this theatre if you’re looking for a smooth, enjoyable movie experience in a clean and friendly environment!

Seating quality can be improved. Otherwise good choice of Indian movies. Their cafeteria menu is pretty limited and pop corn is salty. But love their tea/chaai

The overall experience is average. The screens are on the smaller side and the seating isn't very comfortable, though the sound is just above average. Since it's a budget theater, I can't complain too much. However, the layout is tricky: the screen looks too small if you sit in the back, but even in the 'right' spot, it becomes tiring to watch because the seats are positioned too low.
