  The theatre is beautiful and the Cafe bar food very nice. The staff add to the experience. Further to this is the architecture and interior decoration make for a wonderful visit.

  Really cool historic art deco building. Cinema seats are really comfortable and screens were good size. Bar there too for drinks before or after the movie. Usual selection of popcorn and snacks available at ticket station too. Saw blade runner and thor ragnarok here and enjoyed the experience both times.

  If you want a full Dolby Atmos experience, this is the only place you can get it in Wellington. Luckily they also have comfy seats and great food/beverage options. Cup holders would be a nice addition.

  One of my favourite cinema experiences. It doesn't have an IMAX screen, but don't be fooled. The main screen is plenty big enough. Awesome Art Deco feel to the building, really well renovated and awesome little bar through the walkway. Even the smaller screens are cool. Comfy seats and food and drink service to your seat. A+

  The prettiest cinema I have ever been to. You feel like you're in a movie yourself. It's very luxurious and yet tickets are inexpensive. Staff are helpful & it has such a nostalgic feel to it like you're in an era gone by (seriously there's a fireplace in the waiting area) My go to movie theater here in Wellington & it's the best place for a movie experience.

  Beautiful old theatre that has been tastefully done up to modern standards. Arguably the best cinema screen and sound system in the Wellington region. This is the place to go for any films with stunning visuals or great sound tracks.

  Love the place, so cozy. Service was great too. Loved the experience when entering the ladies room. Deluxe room chairs were comfortable but could use some renovations.

  Wonderful venue, especially when there's not many attending. Not only do have a large space to yourself but if it is crowded, then you really feel the emotions. Several sessions and a large variety of programs and promotions all showing which makes everything that much more worth it. Cafe for small nibbles and coffee, bar for drinks and more refined snacks, and a snack bar for more conventional movie going food. Overall wonderful, 5/5!

  Amazing cinema. Like going back to the 50's but with a modern screen and sound system. Wellington has two amazing cinemas and this is one of the them

  Make sure you visit this beautiful cinema and Wellington land mark. Great snacks, a good mix of mainstream and not so well known movies, it even has a bar!

  I've only gone once, so take this with a grain of salt.
  
  It was really good. The building looks good, everything was clean, including the toilets. Service was really quick and they had popcorn ready to hand out rather than having to fill a box after you pay for it (although that may have been because it was the second day of Rogue One, so they probably needed to go quickly).
  
  The theatre itself was really nice and the sound was really good. My vision wasn't blocked by anyone, although I don't know if I could say the same if I was shorter.
  The seats were a bit uncomfortable. There was no support for my head and the armrests were really small; you could probably fit half an arm on it. There also wasn't much space in front of the seats so when people had to walk past I had to tuck my legs in really close.
  
  However, it was still a really good theatre and I would recommend going to it.
