I love going to the movies and the Gold Class is the epitome of the movie going experience. Big…read morereclining seats, timed seat service, lounge to relax to have a drink before the movie and individual bathrooms. Unfortunately at Castle Hill they continually drop the ball. One time we ordered popcorn and a drink and the popcorn came out after 10 minutes and finally the drink came 15 minutes after, which meant it was a very dry popcorn experience. This time I thought I would be smart and got a drink at the Kmart just below. Except the popcorn never came, I pressed the call button continuously for over 15 minutes (after over 30 minutes of waiting). The dude finally came out a bit peeved letting me know I am pressing the call button, I let him know that I haven't got my popcorn and presto it arrived. It shouldn't be hard to deliver simple food at the start of the movie. It also shouldn't take 15 minutes to get service. Also they decided to collect empty plates 10 minutes before the movie ended. Why? Doesn't really make sense to disturb everyone during the climax of the movie...

Theres no getting around the fact that Gold Class is very expensive. Firstly the tickets are double…read morewhat a normal session costs ($40 v $20) and then there is the cost of the food & drinks. They have a nice foyer with little booths to sit in which I can only assume is so you can come and eat/drink before the movie. No idea why you would though when the cinema is in the middle of a shopping centre which has loads of cheaper and better food options. I went there once to have one of their 'signature sundaes'. It was the first time I saw it in normal lighting and I was surprised to find it was half the size I thought it was! They've also gone with the odd choice of unisex toilets so you walk into a unisex room with a big long mirror and basin and off that room is a load of doors each leading to a little ensuite. Who knows what they were thinking but its just odd. The seats are quite nice but the place is getting on now and because they haven't treated or repaired any of the seats the leather is torn or cracked on many of the seats. All in all its a nice experience but something I usually only end up doing in January to use any movie vouchers I picked up at Christmas time!

This place is beyond ridiculous…read more We stayed in the hotel next door and got warned to arrive early. Arrived early to eat at the retro diner, got turned away. 30 mins later. After seeing people driving past we attempt again. Get let in and get parked in a waiting lot. Instead of checking tickets and parking cars in groups of what movie they are going to see, it's a giant free for all. Cars driving everywhere. No traffic control. No one gives way. Eventually get in and park. Off for dinner. DISGUSTING. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. My husband and I are both extremely sick from eating the overpriced garbage they pass off as food. Before the movie started they announced ticket checks as people had snuck into the wrong movie, as it was sold out. Gate control and ticket checks earlier would fix this. All in all a huge waste of money. People left their cars on and chain smoked the entire time. Wish I could get a refund and my time back. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE

The fact that it is still called 'Greater Union' and not 'Event Cinemas' speaks of how much of a…read moredinosaur this place is. That being said, there is something magnificent about going back in time and experiencing things from another era. Throw that in with our amazing western Sydney community and you are in for a treat! The comfort level is up to you. As a kid I remember we used to drive here in our 1986 Mitsubishi Star Wagon, all the seats would fold down which meant we could fit in a single bed mattress. We'd bring our pillows & blankets, open the boot of the car and fit all 5 kids lying down single file across the back. I have seen people bring camping chairs, two seater sofas on the back of their utes, camping tents and cars with really really really dark tint which makes no sense cause how can they possibly watch the movie!? Anyways, you really do need to be comfortable because you will get two movies for the price of one [unless stated otherwise]. $15.50 for an adult, $12.50 students/pensioners, $12 for members & $11.50 for kids. BYO snacks & drinks is a bonus. A word of warning for those who dislike smoking. If you have your doors open and/or windows down you will get that unpleasant smell. As the only drive-in in Sydney, there is not much to compare it to however, it is a great novelty and definitely one to experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone

Hoyts cinema is large and people/viewers aren't inappropriately rowdy.

For one Event Cinemas have refurbed with big seats and now boast massive VMAX screens (which, ok, you'll pay a premium for). But the real appeal of the Hornsby branch is its ease of use. There's stacks of parking at Westfield, you can grab a pre or post-movie meal at a number of nearby restaurants or at the foodcourt. There's even a Coles on the ground floor if you want to buy your snacks there rather than paying the usurious cinema prices. Event Cinemas also do pretty good deals with their Cinebuzz club - you can earn points for free movies ('free' once you pay the mandated $1 online booking fee). Plus they'll email you about preview screenings and other specials. Worthwhile if you're a movie fan stuck on the upper north shore.

The food court is nearby and is often open late into the evening, unlike other supercentres such as Chatswood. If you join up for their club card you can accumulate points. They also have Student Mondays for those of us who enjoy a decent discount! Cheap Tuesdays are also super popular and attract a steady crowd.
