Cinema in Wellington

“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.”

“The staff are always so friendly and accommodating and sometimes I think more people need to attend. Cinemas are clean and chairs are comfy. Tuesdays are 1/2 price so definitely worth an outing.”

“Friendly staff, easy booking via text and comfortable seating. Small, but really like it, as I struggle with the noise level at bigger cinemas. And sometimes, I want to watch a movie on a big screen :)”

“Always a great experience. It makes me feel like I’m back in a 90’s movie theatre.”

“So cute and cosy move theatre❤️”

“Great little cinema with cosy seating for two.”

“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.”

“Loved it! My uncle had his birthday celebration here. He ordered in pizza and ice cream which we enjoyed while milling around the cinema, before watching a movie. There are heaps of cool things to look at and read. The cinema is a great size for a small-ish group. We loved it”

“Went here for the first time to see Wake Up Dead Man and it was a very nice experience. Although the layout made it feel a bit like a bingo parlour upon first entry, the amount of people gathered here gave the venue a much livelier feel than other local theatres, and the screens and audio quality were top notch. It had more of a community vibe than I was expecting and I think we’ll frequent this cinema more often than not in the future.”

“We had eggs and calamari. The eggs had nice rosti but could have been a little runnier. The portion size was good. Calamari was tender. Chips were good. Tiramasu and brownie were very good. Nice, clean space with plenty of room. Family friendly. Service was pleasant. Would recommend for a reliable, nice, chilled weekend brunch.”

“Never a problem at the Embassy It's improved since I moved to Whangnui nine years ago. They have a great variety of films and the international film festivals are always good value.”

“Just finished up a lovely night with the girls celebrating one of our friend's birthdays. We were served and looked after by the wonderful staff Rob. Want to say we were so impressed by his customer service, he went above and beyond and made our night a core memory. thank you Rob and staff for a wonderful night will be back next month!”

“Go there just for a coffee, wine, beer and some RD's also light meals, enjoy a movie, seating is extremely comfortable. The facilities are clean and have a very relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy, as I have done. Cheers”

“Wētā Cave is a must-visit in Wellington for anyone interested in Hollywood movies and the magic behind them. The experience offers an incredible behind-the-scenes look at how iconic Hollywood films are brought to life, with detailed props, costumes, models, and displays showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity involved. Seeing the level of detail up close gives you a whole new appreciation for what goes into blockbuster filmmaking. The atmosphere is relaxed yet inspiring, and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable, happily sharing insights and stories from major film productions. It’s an easy and enjoyable stop while exploring Wellington or the Miramar area, and the overall experience feels immersive and well worth the ticket. The store is also a highlight, packed with unique collectibles and memorabilia. If you love Hollywood films or creative storytelling, Wētā Cave is an experience you shouldn’t miss”

“Great classic theatre still.in good condition. Very helpful volunteers and ushers. Views of stage from every seat. Been there for a music show and comedy show. Great acoustics for both”

“Legendary place, good architectural gift on Wellington. It's a classic and iconic multifunction building on lower Cuba .”

“Hidden gem. This place's esthetic is true Japanese and yet, it's blended so well with good world beer and the art of conversation. Dominic, the bar owner made me feel welcomed and we chatted about the world and beer for ages. They made me great beer recommendations and made me a stonkin' vegan sandwich (pulled jackfruit). Low-key. Friendly. Tasty beer and snacks. Top marks!”

“The Events Centre is a brand new development with the latest audio visual equipment for conferencing and events. The spaces has all new amenities, facilities and class leading infrastructure to support any size of event up to a maximum of 1200 delegates (static audience).”

“A sweet and welcoming venue. "The Heiress" was a world class performance! Loved our night at the Gryphon.”

“First time here. Fabulously classic well-maintained small town theatre. Two lovely women welcomed a small number of patrons seeing Ms Information. No mainstream New Plymouth theatre took the risk. Congratulations Kings for showing this film.”
