âOh gosh, I love reading so much. I'm always there on my odd weekends(have been going recently to watch the anniversary of the hunger games movies) and it's just so nice. There's always a movie to watch, and the cinemas are very high-quality. I just remembered a funny story... We had an afternoon off school and me and my friends went to the movies. It was really fun because it was just us and this other random person, so we sat wherever we wanted and caused general chaos. If you were that woman... I'm sorry, we probably ruined the movie for you. My only gripe is the food is really expensive! I believe it's around ten dollars for a bit of popcorn? Like come on, the tickets nearly cost the same thing. All in all, though, love reading, and will probably be back again next week :).â

âI've loved this place from the day it opened. Sadly it is often lacking in cleanliness. The floors are sticky in the foyer and that is just ikk. The people have always been lovely, the seats are comfy and the pricing is on-par with all the other cinemas. Its just the cleanliness that makes it lacking that 5th star from me. Which I hate to do cause its our local and we have always enjoyed going and appreciate the welcoming people, polite service and usually very positive and helpful attitudes.â

âOverall it's a better theatre than Event Cinemas but this review is based off of last night and we were in the GOLD lounge. The cinema seat layout was different to the online ticket seat selection it's 2x4x2 not 2x2x2x2, luckily nobody bought the seats next to us though đ . The upholstery of our recliners were very old and faded. The table hadn't been wiped and there was old ring marks and the cup holders were gross. Considering it's supposed to be the premium experience and the 2 tickets cost $70 I at least expected it to be clean so that was disappointing. Nice to be able to recline though.â
