âI came and saw a movie the other day, was served by a lovely girl I think her name was Chloe. She was super helpful and friendly when I was confused. Great customer service, well done Hoyts Riccarton:)â

âCame to watch a flick on what they call extreme screen. Screen 8 is a normal aspect, flat, large screen with front and several side speakers, no height speakers, if you expect Dolby Atmos, be disappointed. Sat in the middle of row J. Big no recline chairs with place for a cup under the front of the arm, awkward and weird. Was wanting to recline, dang it. Entered fully dark theatre 2 minutes late where several minutes of Hoyt promotions, some local advertisers and some previews, with no pause before straight into feature film Zootopia 2 with about a dozen people present for the morning screening. Sound and picture were fine.â
