This cinema is okay, prices are standard BCC (ie, not cheap), the seats are comfortable enough and the cinema's themselves are decent. Staff service could be better though, with fairly long ticket queue times when it gets busy. Like a lot of other cinema's these days they also have the snacks and tickets bought at the same time (therefore the same queue), which can slow down the queue tremendously. Once you've got your tickets and snacks though, it's all smooth sailing.

They have kid friendly screening days and also for those mums with bubs then yes you too can enjoy a movie with your baby in selected sessions. For those that want a total movie experience then hit up gold class for all your beverage and food brought to you straight to your seat while you recline and watch the movie. While it can be expensive to watch a movie you can take advantage of the movie specials that are offered on Monday to Thursday, student days and movie of the week. Definitely worth spending the money for a good night entertainment

Toombul cinema has been renovated and transformed from a Birch, Carroll and Coyle into an Event…read moreCinema. The new lobby looks fantastic compared to the sad, dark and dingy room it replaced. 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.

We went to see Mocking Jay on opening night and the place was only half full, which is exactly how we like it. the candy bar sells good stuff and the chairs are really comfortable and nice, the place is clean and the staff are friendly. There is a Maccas right outside and a few places to eat if you want dinner first. It's an event cinema, so it's standard in terms of showings and quality. But we go here to see any movies and we never have a problem.

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.

The food here is ok they don't really change the menu that often so we normally end up getting the same thing each time. The hyperplex cinemas are not like your average cinema as they are owned by the Hyperdome shopping centre. The tickets are about average priced. Gold glass tickets are a set price no discounts just because you are a student or anything. I do love the fact that if you buy you tickets online you can print them yourself without having to line up with everybody else. I would avoid the cinemas during school holidays as they can get packed full of children. They do have mothers in pram showings and day out with the girls, where you can do group booking. For these special events they are limited shows, like in not every movie out is offered.

I have no idea if the Regal Twin Cinema in Graceville is associated with the Eldorado 8 in…read moreIndooroopilly, but if not they are definitely cut from the same cloth. The Regal Twin is a beautiful, old world style cinema that definitely has an intimate vibe (well, it says it in the name, there are only two cinema's...). The staff are delightful, the movies are often art house (leaving the block busters to the shopping centres) and you can smuggle in your food.

When I want to see a film, the Regal Twin is near the top of my list for cinemas to go to. It's…read moresmall and independent, shows good films that aren't necessarily blockbusters and is slightly cheaper than the other, more commercial cinemas. With only two cinemas in which to show films, there isn't a huge number of sessions and the latest session starts around 8.55pm, so you have to be a bit organised in planning the film you're going to see. Audience numbers aren't huge, however, so you're usually guaranteed a seat if turning up just before the start of the film. My favourite bit about the Twin Regal is the gentleman who sometimes takes tickets at the door. He's a slightly old-world character and greets every patron entering the cinema with a very enthusiastic, "Enjoy the film!" Love him. Love the Regal Twin.

I'm a fan! For as…read morelong as I could remember, I always wanted to go to a drive in. All the ones in the States either had gone out of business or were converted to shopping centres and vehicle garages (boo-hiss). Who knew that I had to travel half way across the world to go to my first drive in. Parking is informal. You drive into the area, pay at a booth, then cut a right into various lanes (from furthest to closest) to the screen. Each lane turns into the un-marked parking spaces so pick a good one. If it gets busy (as it does on some weekends), you may make due with the spot you've chosen. And as a note: get there early for the second/late showing so you don't have to navigate in the dark to find parking, whilst blinding viewers with your headlight. There are 2 showings. The more family-friendly movies are shown during the first session and the more 'adult' movies for the later/second showing. The beginning times vary depending on the season/month but generally it's a 4 or 6 pm start. Check out their site for details: http://www.tivolidrivein.com.au/Drive-In%20Programmes I will say that you may want to prepare yourselves if you've never been there. Like with camping, many AU locals take 'going to the movies' to a whole new level (in my book). I've seen families rock up with their giant industrial strength picnic mats, chairs, esky, portable crib and set up what looks like a temporary living space for the next couple of hours. I've even seen a family lay out a double-size mattress for a row of kids to comfortably watch the show. But hey, good on you for coming prepared! Me and the mrs. on the other hand like to keep it simple: 2 chairs, small esky, snacks and drinks. I also bring a cheap-o portable AM/FM radio as that's how you'll hear the movie's audio. Our car's speakers are crap, hence the radio. If you prefer, you can always head into the eating area as they have speakers and seating if you don't want to sit in the parking area. You can of course get food, snacks and drinks at the cafe. Toward the second showing, they will run out of certain food at times. And if you're like me, the food may a bit too oily or salty but it's movie food so don't expect gourmet quality. PROS: Cheap @ $10/vehicle. Great date night. Not too formal. CONS: You need a radio to pick up the audio. I typically bring my portable radio since my car's speakers are crap. If you walk around, you'll see they used to have ground speakers at one time, which in my mind, would've made the 'drive in movie' experience much more authentic. Some foods at the cafe may be too salty or oily for some. Parking and exiting can be chaotic. *Not sure if it's a Pro or Con, but some times when the cafe has leftover food, they go around passing it out - sometimes it's free and sometimes they try to make some money off of it. Go check out the Tivoli Drive in. Great place to take a date or family with kids. I highly recommend and will be going back many more times.
