Think of this place as more of a high end boutique theater. They have 8 small-medium sized theaters that play all the new movies. Food and Beverages - They have a wine bar and a full food menu that accompanies the typical movie snacks and drinks. Seats are assigned so you don't have to worry about crowding in line in front of the theater door to get a seat. When you're done with the movie, you can always head upstairs for a meal at Monster Restaurant and Bar! The octopus is to die for!

They have one large theatre & screen (cinema 4), and another 7 smaller ones. All the theatres provide ample legroom and great quality sound and visuals.

And a BIG thank you to the head office receptionist who tried to get us a promo code - chatty, funny and helpful. Great staff make a great business. Thank you - you both made my brother's 18th Birthday very special.

The state of this cinema is dangerous. Last week elderly patrons entered the theatre and did not…read moresee the signs that said the seats were broken. One of them sat down and fell backwards hitting her head on the floor. Locals keep going to the theatre in spite of the dreadful conditions and lack of maintenance. Last summer one theatre had no air conditioning for months and months and you had to sit through hot airless conditions if you wanted to see the movie in that particular theatre. Young staff are often embarrassed that there are broken seats or a lift that is out of action or air conditioning not working.

For two adults to go to a standard movie with a medium two drink combo came to under $40 - which wouldn't even get you through the door at other cinemas. The seating in both the standard and the XD cinemas is comfortable, even for larger individuals, which is not always true. Plenty of room to move and, in the standard cinemas, the arm rests lift up. We were staying in Kaleen but, particularly with Canberra's surprisingly reasonable bus fares, going to the Limelight was well worth the excursion.

It serves its purpose--you sit and watch a movie. The seats are quite big but quite uncomfortable. And there is only one cup holder for every 2 seats. What if several people near each other have a drink? Also, you pick your seats when you buy your tickets, which is very cool, but for someone who has never been to that theater before (like me) it's hard to guess which seat is best (good distance and angle to the screen). We ended up feeling closer to the screen than we had wanted to. Next time we would know which seats would be better. But I'm not sure there will be a next time. Limelight is more comfortable and way cheaper!!

Unbelievable. 19.50 per ticket at a matinee showing. The screen is tiny and you have to wait in…read moresome weird holding area. We won't be back.
