Theater & 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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Great little cinema with cosy seating for two.”

“So cute and cosy move theatre❤️”

“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.”

“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”
