One of the most architecturally unique buildings in the growing city of Langley is the spaceship shaped Cineplex. There are only two others like it, one in Vaughn, Ontario and the other in Laval, Quebec.
It was named Colossus until a couple years ago, when the ownership got switched from Famous Players to Cineplex, and Colossus turned into Cineplex Langley.
It has a giant UFO on the top of it, and inside are alien-esque decorative features that are scattered around the theatre (there are even men and women alien signs for the bathrooms).
There used to be lights beamed from the top of the spaceship four nights a week from dusk up until 11PM, calling out to all celestial beings and enforcing its extraterrestrial vibe.
