The cinemas are modern and there is plenty of parking in the shopping centre…read more I chose to book my tickets on line and by the time I paid the booking fees and ticket prices (which I thought were a bit pricey) taking my family to the movies was almost $100 and we haven't purchased any snacks for the movie. Would have been nice to also prebook my seat. The cinema needed a vacuum and a clean as it seems they just played back to back movies. The thing that saved the rating was it was almost empty so finding seats wasn't difficult. All in all a reasonable experience. Lost a star due to cleanliness on the night and not being able to prebook my seat after paying a premium.

Event cinemas at Burwood is one of the few locations in Sydney which screen Bollywood movies. They…read morealways have at least one Bollywood movie running in a week. And it's usually the latest release too! Event cinemas has plenty of screens and it's usually not packed or sold out. Unless of course, there is a new Harry Potter film released. If you have booked your tickets online and plan to Jump the Q, enter from the left and proceed directly to the counter. Most other Cinemas, have better signage about the quick ticket collection when compared to Burwood. If you plan on watching a movie after 6pm, it is better to park in the lower parking lot at the cinema level as the mall closes on most days, and you could get trapped getting to your car on another level.

My first and probably last time at Palace Cinema Leichardt. My main complaint about this place is…read morethat there's only one queue for both movie tickets and the bar. So if you've taken the trouble to buy your tickets online, and want to relax and have a drink before or during the movie, you still need to line up with everyone else who hasn't bothered to buy a ticket in advance. I would gladly have had a few drinks before the film but was dissuaded from doing so by the long and slow line. These guys need to do a better job at improving the venue experience. For example, install self service kiosks where people can purchase tickets and then free up staff to provide fast and friendly service at the bar. Speaking of the staff, they all seemed pretty demoralized last night when I was there! No smiles, just the perfunctory barking of crowd-control commands like 'cinema six is now open'! Lastly the bins and toilets were pretty disgusting last night by the end of the evening show, making it clear that they're emptied/cleaned at most 2 times a day. We live in an age when home movie streaming has made massive inroads into the revenue model of cinemas, so they need to make sure the venue experience is first class. Licensing cinemas was a good first step, but clearly Palace Cinemas need to do a little more.

Been going to this cinema for ages .. at least over 10 years lol!!…read moreHave seen this place at its "Worst" which wasn't that bad but alot of people must of only experienced gold class in their lifetime possibly and now today at it's extensive upgrade which is still bad for some.. oh well can't please them all ;) Premium tickets were only $13.. the cinema sests are vinyl and full recliners accompanied with a small table and cup holder.. feeling pretty special haha ;)!! Cinema food is the same you'd get anywhere else naturally, I'm a big choc top kind of guy like 2 - 3 at a time lol.. dont go to the movies everyday luckily ;)!! but suprisingly you couldn't buy a coffee at the cinema.. seems pretty standard these days haha, they had a great cafe just outside the entrance for my caffeine fix :). The cinema location is great, if your there during the daytime you could spend a whole day there with Costco and Anaconda down the road and then the rest of adventure and other shops in the cinema complex and for the night time you have the 24 hour maccers and Krispys on the other side of the road for those tasty treats before or after yohr movie :) This place will always be a favorite cause of the location, the comfortablefactor and cheap movie tickets :)!!

This was the most filthy, mismanaged, shit hole of a cinema I've ever been to…read more We went at midday on a Sunday. There were three people behind the counter and about 20-30 people waiting in queue. First red flag was that there weren't enough employees, or employees doing their job so shitty that they managed to create a queue of people on a Sunday. They were out of large popcorn. Let me repeat: THEY WERE "OUT" OF LARGE POPCORN. HOW. DAMN well order the larger cardboard popcorn boxes. Maybe learn how to run a business? Everyone tells me that a theatres major source of income is the food and drink yet they can't even offer what people want? Larger flipping boxes?!? They were also out of choc tops??? I'm only a little mad. The lobby was literally falling apart. The carpet was matted, the tiled floors were sticky as if they hadn't been cleaned in eons. The theater had also not been cleaned. There was trash still in the seats and we had to claw out way to sit down. SURE - the tickets are cheap but in no way is it a worthwhile experience.

Plus it's lined with mirrors so you can check out yourself or others on the way up. Which sounds way creepier than I meant it to. They funnel you past the candy bar as you go up (no prices on display last time I went although this may have changed, which is annoying because I want to know how much I'm getting slugged for those sweet, sweet choc tops and gummi bears). The cinemas are big, they're clean every time I go, and you get to collapse into a cushy chair and forget about life over 2 hours of escapism. Yay movies!

The cinema that ruins every other cinema experience for ever more…read more Quite simply the finest, classiest, most demure, seductive, charming and good old-fashioned fun cinema experience in Sydney and quite possibly the universe. Every time you visit a soulless megaplex after your time at Hayden Orpheum it will be a singularly disappointing experience bereft of any aesthetics or cultural value because really, how can anything compare? The cinemas are stunning art deco, they sell old-school choc tops, there's a solid program of the latest blockbusters and art house / doco fare, and they have insanely fun cult classics like a monthly interactive showing of the word movie ever made, The Room. There are love seats in the main cinema, and a freaking organ that rises up out of the floor for matinee performances. I know right! What what all the way. Best.

Being an eastern suburbs dweller, I've only been to the Orpheum on a couple of occassions. Each…read moretime I've sworn to journey over there more often (it's not even that far FFS). The Orpheum has kept it's gorgeous original deco interiors and exteriors intact, and the last time I visited (John Cleese triple bill including the Life Of Brian on Easter Sunday- kudos Orpheum!), there was a vintage pianist playing the grand piano in the lobby. I would love to see a silent movie thing here and I would bet money that they do them, it's that kind of place. Check out retro cinema Sundays- awesome and affordable triple bills that people dress up for. Old school wholesome entertainment, I love it.

Tucked away from the hussle and bustle of the "normal" patrons, you can enjoy your pre- screening experience by waiting in the Gold Class lounge..... here you can order champagne and food as you wait for your movie session time to begin.... but wait, what if you can't get there early to enjoy the pre-movie snacks.... don't worry - you're a VIP.... someone will bring them to you during the movie.... When you check in, you can decide if you want food delivered to you during the film and when.... perhaps you want Nachos in the first third, champagne in the middle and an ice-cream sunday in the final act.... then the at Gold Class will make sure you get what you want.... And because it's super exclusive - you wil be one of about 30 people in the cinema with a reclining couch seat that lets you lie down... It's first class all the way....and if it wasn't so expensive I'd see a movie this way everytime.
