Everyone came dressed up and we were treated to a nice glass of prosecco as if we were back in the 1920s at a party hosted by Gatsby himself. They went all out for this premiere with a bess dressed contest, fashion show, Yelp photo booth, and rafffled away some great prizes. When it was time for the movie, we all shuffled into the theatre and were welcome to an intimate theatre with super comfy seats. We were greeted by the friendly staff who informed us of the next premiere. I liked how they informed us that there would only be one preview before the feature started. I felt so comfortable and enjoyed the screening very much. Most reviews note how uncrowded the theatre usually is. The premiere was sold out on this particular evening but I really enjoyed seeing all the enthusiasm for a Thursday evening premiere. You can order popcorn and soft drinks but they also have wine, choc tops, and cheese platters on the menu!! Can't wait to go back here again.

They're a cut above the rest with their comfy, high-back chairs and Centro in the trendy James Street precinct is no exception. Watch your favourite Hollywood blockbusters or take a dose of culture with an array of their film festivals including Italian, German and French festivals. As well as your standard popcorn fare you can indulge in decadent choc tops (I suggest the cafe grande), cheese platters, cakes and sweets. Wash it down with your favourite ale or wine.

Unfortunately each time it was part of the kids order and they are too polite to say anything until afterwards, when it's too late to rectify, so the money has been wasted.

In the six years I've lived in Brisbane, this building, a one-time cinema, has been shrouded in…read morerumours of a return to it's glory days as a place for movie buffs to congregate. Finally, this month the rumours came true and the old Village Twin reopened as the New Farm Cinema. Almost smack bang in the middle of the drive down Brunswick Street, the cinemas are located amongst some great dining options making it a grand night out for a true dinner and a movie date. I visited the cinema on Friday evening, their first official day of trade, and while there were some minor system glitches (it's their opening day guys, let's give them some slack), it was a calm and pleasant atmosphere. While there's only the Purple Room up and running at present, the remaining cinemas will open in short succession. The owners have paid respect to the cinema's heyday by seemingly effortlessly combining the old (the carpet remains the same) and beautiful modern Danish-inspired furniture pieces. Surprisingly - it all works. It's an elegant and vibrant place to enjoy a wine pre-movie or indulge in gelato from La Marcelleria and a brownie from Dello Mano. Prices are reasonable and worth it for the experience alone. The cinema itself is luxurious. Leather seats make it a comfortable viewing experience, and for the more adventurous there's the bean bags at the front of the cinema. It's only early days but their yearly membership is calling my name. Who wouldn't love a Saturday morning pastry from Chouquette before casually strolling across the road for a movie?

Thankfully the Sourris brothers decided to take over the old Village Twin cinemas (which was designed by Ron Monsborough - considered Australia's most acclaimed cinema architect), to breathe new life to the heritage listed building, in New Farm.Its been around since 1921 & closed its doors in 2001. This building was considered by many to be Monsborough's "masterpiece", so the Sourris brothers have mostly stuck to the original design & look. Purple carpet, purple seats, purple curtains. We were here for the official opening (back in late July 2014) and have returned several times since. Enjoy it so much that we decided to become a purple club member for only $16.50 for the year, which then allows you to watch any movie any day for $9.50. When you become a member, you also get a complimentary movie ticket for 1 (valid for one month). Just recently, New Farm Cinemas opened their Gold Room cinema, which is their premium cinema with full service food & drinks to your seat. As a member, you will have a discount on your gold room ticket. If you come early enough before your film, you must try one of the delicious gourmet pizzas that are named after movies. We decided to try the 'La Dolce Vita' which had a beautiful tomato base, spicy Calabrese salami, black olives, & mozzarella. It went perfectly with our "the artisan coffee roaster" macchiato. They have a great selection of snacks, hot food, drinks & Dello Mano chocolate. Although there's no designated parking lot for patrons, there are plenty of street parking, around the cinemas. Check out their website, to see which streets are the best for parking. One of our favourite Cinemas in Brisbane.

The noise barrier could have been a little stronger as to not mix the two different acts performing, but all in all it's super comfortable. Sweet couches, too. The door people and bar staff are always lovely, they have an actual snow globe behind the bar and had some cute decorations up. Drinks are the normal valley price - $8 or 9 for spirits.

In several areas the carpet is worn right through to the concrete, which gives the whole place a neglected feel. Cinema 5's screen is hopelessly underwhelming for this day and age, and the air conditioning barely seems to function. As some online reviewers have also pointed out, the experience just doesn't match modern standards or live up to the falsely advertised promise of a luxury experience. It's in a great location, with friendly staff, but it's clearly time for major refurbishment and maybe new owners/management at the same time.

The chairs are very comfy as everyone has mentioned. Even though the theatre size is much smaller than your typical ones like in South Bank, I really liked it. If you live in the area, purchasing a membership would be worth it. The movies being shown were a mix of unique and blockbuster. I liked the waiting area where I could pick up several brochures or magazines while I wait on my friend to arrive. They were kind when I went to pick up my tickets and had no problems there. They had plenty of candy, popcorn, and ice cream behind the counter. You can also purchase adult beverages as well! I had a great experience and think this would be a great place to take a date! If your date isn't too familiar with Brisbane, showing off this part of town and taking a walk along the river before the film would be so sweet.

The chairs and general fit out of the cinemas themselves has been updated or it had been in the one I visited today. It felt miles cleaner and friendlier than the last time I was here a couple of years ago. It's nice to have a local alternative to the behemoth of Chermside (and avoid parking fees). However, the service hasn't improved along with the furnishings. Nobody came to close the cinema door while we sat through the ads and the movie begun. Both the light and noise from outside was quite distracting and I eventually got up and closed the doors myself.

Sure, the seats aren't as plush as other cinemas, the candy bar is cash only and you're encouraged to take your own rubbish out with you (and frankly, you should be anyway) but honestly, it's worth it for not having to hand over $17+ for a movie you may or may not enjoy.

Being located in South Bank, it is so accessible and placed right in the middle of shops, restaurants, etc. The ticket prices are very reasonable at $8.50 and $6.50 if you're a student. For a late movie on a weeknight, the cinema was super crowded. My film was being shown in cinema 5 which is the former IMAX screen so the screen is gigantic and theatre is huge. I really loved it because my film was action packed! I didn't enjoy the 30 minutes of commercials before the movie though. I understand a few but the worst commercial was even repeated twice!! Also, remember to bring cash. If you're wanting to watch a movie on a budget, the Cineplex is the place for you.
