βOur go to for watching films in Dunedin - have been in for five or more times in the last year. Building is beautiful and tidy, crew are chill and helpful, cinemas are relatively clean and well kept, with screenings not usually filled beyond 50% so you can have spacious seating. Toilets as well are pretty clean and available in each level.β
