This cinema is a great investment for the area. It's well built and most importantly all 4 screens…read moreare really good. The seating is well angled and comfy and the projector and screen quality are high (digital I would guess, not sure if 4K though). Sound system also seemed good and I did not hear any noise coming from other screens. My main criticism is that the management clearly have no clue about anything digital. The website is poor, the online booking system and ticket collection system are terrible. They are not listed on Google cinema. But ignoring all that, there's a good chance you will enjoy the movie. Oh, and they serve Ben & Jerrys icecream.

Never was a new cinema anticipated as much as this one. after months of apparent inaction on the…read morebuilding site suddenly St Austell's long awaited cinema opened its doors just in time for Christmas, with hundreds of local people losing bets that it would never open in time. How wrong we were - the building is modern, crisp, a vast improvement on the old cinema. Sweets, ice-creams and popcorn are reassuringly expensive (so stock up beforehand in your local supermarket) and there is a social bar area where you can meet up with friends before seeing your chosen film. We found the seats comfortable, roomy, spacious - overall a surprise! The carpets are a bit 70s but can't have everything. There isn't any parking nearby yet but it means you have plenty of time to discuss the film on the way back to your car. In summary, a pleasant surprise, a real treat for St Austell, and one we will go to again and again!

Delighted that this cinema has re-opened after being closed for several years…read more The Rebel has been refurbished and now has a much improved sound system. One big screen and very comfy seats. Good selection of refreshments; clean toilet facilities. Shows a variety of mainstream movies on general release, with clever timetabling so that there's a good selection of films throughout the week. Recommend prebooking at busy times, esp in holidays as it can get very busy. The car park can also be crowded, so worth sharing a car if you can. VERY pleased to have a local cinema back again. Congrats all round.

Going to see a film at this cinema is like stepping back in time to the 60s. This traditional…read morecinema has all the usual small screens, tacky decor and shabby seats but this is why it is worth a visit. In an attempt to introduce some modern comfort they have recently refurbished one of the screens and have removed the traditional seats and replaced them with leather sofas and armchairs plus waitress service.

Yup, this gets my vote too. Great seats, relaxed and friendly staff, good prices.read more

They also show the usual blockbusters etc around a month after their release and because the cinema is so nice we often wait until then to go watch a film, with fewer people it's a much better experience. Also just as you go in the doorway, to the left they usually have a gallery display and to the right they occasionally have a book sale in the evenings after a film, i've picked up some fantastic books from there! Word of advice if you want snacks and nibbles during your film they sometimes have them on the counter but not always and not many, so pop across the road to Threshers and grab yourself a bag of something.

The weekly program of films usually sees an eclectic mix of films suitable for all ages with saver matinee screenings for the younger members of your family on a Saturday afternoon. On the flip side there are a number of disadvantages of the cinema. These are that there is no online booking facility, it can be quite pricey and numbers of youths often frequent the venue and leave their rubbish sitting around. They have been known to throw popcorn and other things at paying customers!!!
