Movie theater in New Zealand

“Outstanding customer service from Lucy the manager at Ponsonby Silky Otter. She couldn’t have been more kind, friendly and keen to assist. Everyone needs a Lucy as their store manager. Thank you Lucy really appreciate you.”

“Their recliners are amazing. Cinemas are spacious, clean and friendly staff. A pleasure to be always visiting ormiston hoyts”

“Wonderful movie theatre. My girls and I throughly enjoyed going there and the lady who processed our tickets and food was Amazing. We'll be back x”

“Beautiful works in a beautiful building. Even the drain pipes are beautiful.”

“The staff were helpful and lovely to deal with after we'd ordered food then needed to take the small one to the bathroom and held our goodies at the counter for us. Venue is always clean, tidy and cozy to be in. Even when its busy its still a pleasure.”

“If you would like to enjoy a good movie in the atmosphere of lux and comfort, pay a visit to Silky Otter Wigram, which does stand out vs Hoyts. I have been there twice for Jurassic Park Rebirth and Tron Ares, loved everything - bottomless popcorn with a ticket price of $15 on Mondays, fine food and drinks, comfortable leather recliner seats, customer service excellence, the list can go on. No hassle with car parking. Highly recommend. Five Stars”

“Delightful little theatre with very comfortable seating. The screen is a decent size and the picture is always clear. The sound can be easily understood according to my hubby and for those, like myself who have difficulty hearing, there are headsets available. I use these in place of my hearing aids. There’s a reasonable selection of drinks including wine. We have not tried the pizzas which need to be ordered 20 minutes prior to the movie. Highly recommend checking out a flick here.”

“Lovely old school feel , Amazingly close from the city ! Great selection of yummy non mainstream treats , I even got to swim my dog under the motorway and saw an angle of the Harbour bridge I've not seen before !!! Definitely a destination, Thanks for the Film "Wisdom of Happiness" Yum boysenberry ice cream and a perfectly cold antibodies:) Thank you Bridgeway Cinema!!!”

“Really delivered with this 2001 IMAX experience. On the bigger side of imax screens and even tho it's only 4k the clarity was still really good (If your wondering how large placing your phone to your nose is about how big it is) Sound setup was truly amazing too as well as the seating, pay that extra for the reclining bring in a blanket and I'd pass out on those chairs. And portions here are crazy jumbo drink is 1L and the popcorn is like a 3-4L bucket completely filled got through like a quarter. If anyone is thinking about outside food, they aren't that strict about it here which is something I like I've never had issues bringing in some whittakers, box of magnums etc. as long as the packaging isn't loud and you buy at least something at the bar they are pretty chill.”

“Gray location with plenty of parking. Large cafe style area for food and beverages and many lovely wee nooks to wait for your movie in. Sofas and cushions. Good food and coffee.”

“Such a treat to go there in Howick from Manurewa. Great deals on tickets and quiet even in the school holidays.”

“Really enjoyed our visit here. The show and guide was really good.”

“We’ve had the BEST pizza in NZ here so far! It's a lovely restaurant with a unique history and good food. It's a must-visit when in Lincoln. Be aware that they’re not open every night.”

“Live this place. Friendly staff. Clean theater Our local. Great films And special events”

“I really enjoy the Hoyts Lux experience. Its obvious the higher end of expense but we use as a treat every now and then. What i particularly enjoy is the personalised attention from when you are greeted at the door right through to ordering food and drinks. Its nice to feel special once in a while sitting in a recliner, drinking a cold alcoholic beverage and waiting for the sliders to arrive. Its definitely the highlight of my week.”

“My favorite cinema in Christchurch. Titan luxe is a great experience - sound is amazing, the seats are comfortable, and the food meets expectations. Can't wait to go here again.”

“The best movie theatre in NZ Big seats and spacious. Also, clean A little bit of extra pay, you get the lazy boy seats. So so recommend”

“Small and cosy, great for having a quiet movie night.”

“Friendly speedy service as movie had just started and hostess even offered to torch us into cinema to be seated incase it was dark.. we made it in and enjoyed the movie Kangaroo.”

“The perfect place to see a movie. Cheap, affordable with a great atmosphere and the staff are super friendly. Grab a bite before or after the movie at the restaurant located in the cinema building or you can get some munchies for the movie itself. Either way it's a great local experience and my wife and I feel so privileged to have a cinema right in town.”

“Six cinema rooms, good size, lots of seats. The premises were clean. The building is beautiful. Good selection of movies. Clean toilets.”

“Awesome place to get your coffee on the run. We always make a quick stop when we close by.”

“Very interesting neighbourhood cinema!”

“I watched Mission: Impossible yesterday at Event Cinemas in Westfield Newmarket, and I’m so glad I did! The experience was fantastic—such a stark contrast to my visit to Hoyts Sylvia Park the day before, which was extremely disappointing. Event Cinemas truly impressed me. The entire place, from the lobby to the theatre itself, was spotless and well-maintained. I was especially impressed that they have staff assigned to clean the cinema after each movie—something that really stood out in terms of care and attention to detail. The staff were also friendly, welcoming, and incredibly patient in answering all of my questions. Their warm attitude really made a difference. I was so pleased with the service that I didn’t hesitate to book tickets on the spot to return this weekend and watch Jurassic Park! Special thanks to the lovely lady who helped me at the counter with my ticket and drink purchase, and to the kind young man who assisted me after the movie when I booked my next visit. Kudos to the entire team at Event Cinemas Westfield Newmarket—you’ve definitely won me over!”

“I recently hosted a function in the restaurant and was very impressed with the service as well as the quality. Nothing was too much to ask. The food was simply delicious! Thank you Jessica and Vincent for your hospitality.”

“Love it. Young lady that served us is a rock star.”

“Nice and relaxing. Good seats. Good place with all the snacks and drinks available to buy to enjoy the movie”

“I saw the F1 movie in the DBox motion seats and I was emotionally overwhelmed. Whoever programmed the seat movements really put their all into it. It just be movie dependent but that was the single most immersive movie experience I've had in a long time. The movie itself was fine.”

“We stopped into the Reading Cinemas on the Octogon yesterday. It was a good day for catching a movie. We were at the afternoon session so it wasn't busy and we pretty much had the cinema to ourselves. The service was excellent. We had a light lunch and the usual popcon for the movie. Very comfy seats in the premium theatre our movie screened in. The cinema and foyer areas were really clean and tidy. Overall was an awesome cinema experience!”

“Where the world begins its day, In the distant South Pacific spray, Lies Aotearoa, green and grand, A sacred and majestic land. ​From Cape Reinga's northern reach, To Stewart Island's rugged beach, Two islands carved by fire and ice, A paradise of sheer device. ​The Southern Alps, a spine of snow, Where azure glaciers slowly flow, Reflected deep in mirroring lakes, While Milford Sound its wonder makes. ​The geothermal heart beats warm, In Rotorua, 'mid the swarm Of boiling mud and steaming vents, A primal power that transcends. ​The kiwi bird, elusive, shy, Beneath the fern trees watching by. The Māori culture, strong and proud, With haka chanted for the crowd. ​The coast is lined with golden sand, Washed by the Tasman's restless hand, And waves that crash and softly sigh, Beneath a vast and endless sky. ​Of sheep on hills and wine in sun, Where ancient forests are outrun Only by rivers rushing free— A land of pure diversity. ​A spirit wild, a gentle soul, New Zealand makes the heart feel whole.”
