New Galaxy Cinemas in Red Deer is Now Open

The eagerly anticipated Galaxy Cinemas is now open. Located at #357, 37400 Highway 2, Gasoline Alley, just south of Red Deer; the movie theatre opened it’s doors to the public on Friday, March 21. The complex has 10 giant screens, a family entertainment centre, birthday party room, and a huge concession stand which features frozen yogurt along with all of the expected treats.

I went out there in person to check things out (and to watch the movie, “Be Kind, Rewind”) and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I went in and was greeted by the friendly box office staff. Although I skipped buying anything at the concession, I was amazed at how big it was. I did go over to the entertainment centre and had a look at the video games. There are about half a dozen different games to choose from and I couldn’t resist playing a new “Aliens” game as well as “House of the Dead 4″ (both first person shooters).

Then I went in to the main theatre and found a seat. The stadium style seats were extremely comfortable. The screen was huge and slightly rounded and the sound system was excellent. When the movie started I was delighted to note that I was not subjected to any commercials. I noted when I arrived that the parking lot was nearly full, however this particular movie only had about nine viewers; so I presume that the others must have been more popular.

Overall, it was an excellent afternoon at the movies. I will most certainly be going back to Galaxy Cinemas in the future. I have just two small criticisms though. First the games room was a bit too loud. Second when you go into the main theatre, half of the screens are on one side and half are on the other; I was unable to see any signs indicating which ones were on which side. Although, of course, the ushers will be able to point you in the right direction.
