It makes me feel like I'm living in another era, when the studio lights are dimmed, trailers start rolling, and the candy guy (in uniform) pushes the cart in for people to walk down and select snacks. I love it! It's so cute, and I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else in Adelaide. Then again, perhaps other cinemas do it but I only ever come here. The candy cart just adds so much character. Or it could just be me unleashing my inner 5 year old child. The studios are kept clean, and although it's not really a big cinema complex, it plays quite a lot of movies and holds many sessions. Come here on Tuesdays if you're like me and don't see the point of paying twice as much on any other day. Have a pre-movie meal at one of the many selections on The Parade. I should warn you though, sometimes the trailers go for half an hour, sometimes ten minutes. It's weird and unpredictable - but kick back, relax and enjoy!

With all the hoo ha going on in Adelaide these days surrounding the Chelsea Cinema, its nice to…read moreknow the fight has already been fought and won when it comes the Capri Cinema on Goody Road at Goodwood. Before the introduction of the megaplex, most of Adelaide's cinemas looked like the Capri in this stunning deco building with its lovingly restored interior. This beautiful Art Deco style cinema was originally opened in 1941 and hasn't really changed much over the years - as an old time movie buff I find this fact incredibly comforting. In the late 1970's the cinema was purchased by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia and it's these guys who have kept both the theatre and its centrepiece, the pipe organ, in state of the art condition. In 2003 the Theatre Organ Society won a commendation in the Edmund Wright Heritage Award for their efforts. While the organ isn't my thing, you have to appreciate the passion of the people who do love it. I've taken older family members to the cinema who have been clearly been transported back to their own childhood when they listen to the organ play. Over the years I've been to the Capri to see Hollywood blockbusters and Independent Releases and the theatre itself is available to hire for screenings and functions. If you want to make a night out of it of your movie experience at the Capri take advantage of their movie / dinner deals in conjunction with the Goodwood Hotel.

Pricing is on par with other cinemas and while it doesn't have the high tech digital equipment experience, movies come to life on the single large screen.

I have not tried the upper balcony but I presume it would be quite nice.

They also hire out the venue for fundraisers, and the Royal Flying Doctors et al fit beatifully into the atmosphere with their crusts-cut-off curried egg sandwiches and sparkling wine. The best place to sit? Front and centre upstairs. You get a little shelf to put your sustinance and no one to block your view. But don't take my seat!

In fact, the price has always been pretty good, and this one is no exception. Look, it isn't a fancy cinema, but they do offer different scales of cinemas in which to go and see the movies. In a way, it is a decent place to go and watch a film.

For that alone, I will endeavour to come here more regularly to catch the latest flicks. Chairs are very comfortable, armchair style. There are 8 cinemas with wall to wall screens featuring high-definition and very clear digital sound. They offer discount for groups of 20 and above. Purchasing can be made online using their user-friendly interface. The downside is they do charge you a small fee of $1.50 for this service. In summary, I definitely think Reading is one of the most competitive cinemas around.

Gawler Twin Cinema is an awesome place to go to. Most…read morepeople rush of to go see movies at the Reading cinema in Elizabeth but we will always choose Gawler. Not only do you quite often get a private movie session, the theatre rooms are reminiscent of a different era. The screens are smaller than your average movie cinema and less seats in each but it does not detract from the ambience at all. They also have a licensed bar on the premises and the popcorn combos are not half as much as the cinema chains. The ticket price in comparison is crazy as well, especially on tight as Tuesdays!

Wallis Cinemas Noarlunga is a 5 cinema complex situated near Colonnades Shopping Center. The centre…read moreitself is quite large and is well decorated from the outside. Inside, you have a small snack bar, a small arcade and a nice waiting area. The complex is spacious and there is generally enough room to easily move around. The pricing of items at the snack bar is on par with the Event Cinemas complex at Marion with a regular popcorn setting you back $6.50. Staff at the snack bar are generally attentive and are friendly. When I went to see a movie, the cinema doors were open around 10 minutes beforehand to get a seat. Unlike other cinemas, the seating is not allocated and you can choose when you get inside, which I guess has its positives and its negatives. I found a seat around 3 rows from the front, which was about right. The cinema capacity is significantly less than that of Event Cinemas mind you, so three rows back was actually not that close to the screen. The seats were very much like Event Cinemas at Marion. They were very comfortable and spacious. Legroom was also more than sufficient, which was quite pleasing actually and the screen was of good size. It was a tad cold in the cinema though, but that appears to always be the case with every cinema I have been to, as they always seem to have the air conditioning cranked just a tad too high. Whilst waiting for the movie, they played music, which was a nice touch. When the screen lit up with the initial advertisements, the music cut off part way through the opening Wallis Cinema ad sequence, leaving a weird pop noise followed by the audio of the advertisement coming in half way through the ad. I found it quite weird that they were not synchronised, but nonetheless, this was no real issue. For the movie I went to see, a somewhat popular comedy, they played around 25 minutes of pre-screen ads. Now usually, I am very tolerant of this, because I love seeing new movie trailers and at Event Cinema they generally show 5 or so. During the 25 minute advertisement period, there were only 2 movie trailers. Not only was it longer than the 15 minute advertisement block at Event Cinemas but it was a lot of advertisements for companies and businesses. I understand that Wallis Cinemas need to make money and that playing movie trailers doesn't rake in the dough like tv commercials and other business ads would, but there were just so many ads that you see on TV being presented on the big screen. I have never had to look at my watch during a pre-screen advertising session before until I went here. The rest of the movie experience was good. The surround sound, albeit not as good as the one at Event Cinemas, was still very pleasant and at a volume that didn't burst the eardrums, and the lighting was controlled well. It's just the huge amount of ads, and half of the ads weren't even optimised for cinema, they were just the same you see on TV (unless you are watching a show back on a DVR and are forward feeding through the ads). Even if the pre-screen advertising had to be 25 minutes, I would have loved to have seen maybe a couple more movie trailers.
