To be truly honest I can't fault the place except for the CUSTOMER FREAKING SERVICE. That for me,…read morebeing in sales myself is so SO important. If you're serving someone, please say hello.. smile! Apart from that all was good. Ticket prices - good screening- good candy bar selection- good (a tad expensive but you only paid 5.50 for your ticket! So all good) My favourite part is the fact that you can buy movie posters for as little as $5. Good place to see a quick flick.

Everyone knows that South Bank is the best place (read cheapest) to go for movies if you live in or…read morenear the city. What many people don't realise is that the same people that operate the South Bank cinemas have a few other locations; Hawthorne, Balmoral and Victoria Point. Victoria Point in particular is my favourite, mainly because it's closer to where I live, but also because there is ample free parking and it's a lot quieter than its city based counterparts. Victoria Point also offers a Deluxe Cinema option, which costs an incredibly cheap $12.50. It's not quite as superior as Gold Class in other movie complexes, but it's still a step up from the regular cinemas. The chairs are more plush and in groups of two. You can also order food and drinks, including alcoholic beverages, to be brought to you during the movie. My only complaint is that the chairs do not recline, one of my favourite aspects of Gold Class. However, if you want a bit of a treat you won't find much better than this at such a super low price. And if you're seeing a movie suitable for children, it's a great way to avoid noisy kids or bravado teenagers. Take note that opening hours depend on session times, but the general rule is that doors open 15 minutes before the start of the first session each day, and close about 15 minutes after the start of the final session of the day. On Mondays there are no late-night sessions.

Not only do you get great value for money there is hot food, only available on the weekends. Be sure to stop at the ATM as this is a cash business and they sting you for using your pay pass, luckily there are a couple of cash machines on site.

I used to love Birch Carrol & Coyle Carindale. It was my local cinemas and while the facilities…read moreweren't all that flat it was a cheap $8 movie - any night of the week! The recent refurb has left things looking trendy and stylish with a brand new Vmax and Gold Class cinema, however that's about as far as the highlights go. The customer service at this cinema is absolutely shocking. At my last visit we stood at the service desk for over 10 minutes waiting to buy tickets (when there was no line), meanwhile a female worker in the candy bar just stared at us as she continue to package up the popcorn. When we did get served, the ticket box staff member treated us as though we were an immense burden and not a customer at all who contributes to their wages. We were then told there were no longer any discount tickets (i.e. now $18 for a regular film) and when we did enter our VMax theatre, the chairs were filthy and the side tables were even worse. It was clear the staff had just done a quick vaccum of the floor and that was it. The chair next to me in fact still had popcorn poured all over it. This chair was actually located on an aisle at the back of the cinema (you enter from the back) so it was clear they had only done a very lazy clean. In general the Vmax or regular cinema experience isn't all that flash if you have been down to Cineplex at Victoria Point - who offer the EXACT same experience for around $6 - $8. This Carindale cinema lacks adequate customer service, their prices are ridiculous, the cleanliness is below parr and the experience is nothing out of the average. I would only go here for Gold Class (which is actually very good here). If you are not seeing something in Gold Class I would suggest visiting Bulimba, Hawthorne or Victoria Point Cineplex's - where there is value for money, the staff are far more pleasant and the cinemas are actually cleaned.

If I could rate this place zero stars I would. Terrible service from the get-go. Total unenthusiasm…read moreas you walked in. The staff at the front desk were a young boy with brown hair and a young girl with ginger hair. My son and his friend came in looking to watch the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie. After the two fifteen-year-olds get asked for their source of identification, to which they had none I had to come in and purchase a ticket to watch the film with them. Before the movie started, I went to the bathroom, leaving the kids with their friends and his mother, who coincidentally where also going to see the movie. Before I returned, my sons friend rang me saying that they were rudely escorted out of the cinema. Now from what I heard, the boys were not disruptive in any way but when given a harsh warning from the ginger haired girl they tried to think of a way to stay. So they asked his friend's mother to say that she was looking after them until I got back. When the rude girl returned, she started yelling and pointing for the boys to get out right away. Now up to this point it was only 10 minutes into the film. After trying to talk to the girl, and she not listening, the boys left. My boys then asked for a refund but were told that they had already watched "half" of the film and had committed a crime. Some back and forth later and we left without seeing the movie and 80 DOLLARS down the drain. Horrible experience overall. If I recall the girls name was Elena. We think that it is only fair if Elena gets spoken to about general communication.

I'll keep this brief as I don't think Birch Carroll Coyle needs any additional publicity from me…read more When I do feel like watching a Hollywood blockbuster on a giant screen in a really comfy chair, I nip down to my local Birch Carrol and Coyle at Garden City. Here is the trick. Instead of paying $20 per ticket, I pre-purchase the movie tickets for $10 from the RACQ shop inside Garden City Shopping Centre. What's the catch? There isn't one really - none that I've found anyway. There are limitations of course. This is not an online offer so you will need to physically go into the shop to purchase the tickets. The tickets are not valid for Saturday nights. You need to be a RACQ member. For a complete list of terms and conditions, visit http://www.racq.com.au/travel/discount_tickets/movie_tickets While there are no signs of the $10 tickets ending soon, best pop down to RACQ and Birch Carroll and Coyle while you can to take advantage of this sweet deal.
