Movies were invented to capture motion in real time, allowing audiences to witness such breathtaking natural phenomena as a great white shark breaching and a robot morphing into an even crazier-looking robot. Take in the action on the screen with today’s Groupon: for $19, you get four movie tickets (up to a $43 value) for showings at Dunbar Theatre in Dunbar.

Boasting top-notch projection technology and a new screen, Dunbar Theatre projects ribbons of celluloid dreams to transport audiences to swordfights in enchanted castles and quiet arguments in space libraries. Combining classic cinema accents with modern equipment, Dunbar Theatre features a balcony and rows of comfy theatre seats with ample legroom, as well as pull-up armrests for snuggling or hand-holding during suspenseful 3-D dentistry scenes. A friendly staff of concession technicians pops delicious kernels into fluffy, buttery buckets of popcorn for moviegoers to enjoy during the show. This Groupon may be used for one movie with three friends or over multiple solo cinema visits. An additional charge applies to movies projected in 3-D ($3).

Reviews

Dunbar Theatre was reviewed on local blog secret city. Seven Yelpers give it a four-star average.

• The Dunbar holds a special place in my heart. It’s my favourite theatre—and surely number one for many other Vancouverites—for many reasons. The most compelling among them earning the Dunbar several prestigious titles; I’ve crowned the theatre as having the “most comfortable seats,” “best street-parking availability” and, most importantly for any serious movie-goer, “best popcorn.” – Kristen Hilderman, secret city
