Reviews of Rialto Cinemas Dunedin
R.
Fabulous old movie theatre that still retains a lot of it's old school charm. Worthy of a visit just to see beautiful architecture from earlier times. Plus, great food drinks and service. Highly recommend :)
J.
If you're reading this in December, GO SEE SPIDERMAN NO WAY HOME.
The cinema is great though. Buy a 5 book of tickets to make it worth your time.
The comfy and the cinemas are nicely air conditioned.
Paper straws in cups of Coke meant to last you 3 hours just don't work.
C.
Really good Cinema. Great staff who are friendly and helpful. Good movies on at the moment, too many for the time I have...will have to prioritize which ones to see first. Enjoying going back after the enforced break. I like that you can buy a hot drink to take into the cinema. Love the chocolate dipped icecreams too.
P.
Very comfortable. I havent been to the movies in over 20 years but absolutely loved it
A.
We got given some tickets, so my 4year old and I went to see the new Boss Baby 2 movie. The staff were awesome. They made us feel really comfortable, which is a bonus for me and social anxiety! This was the first time my Daughter had been to the movies, we ended up with the theatre to ourselves, what a first time experience! Thanks team.
C.
What a great theatre! We had an amazing time is this renovated theatre! Slightly felt like we were stepping back in time from the moment we walked in the door.
Sit back with your popcorn and enjoy the show in the comfortable seats.
L.
Cool old building with huge screens and quality sound system. The beer and snacks are a little pricey.
N.
Great Cinema to view a movie 🎬 on the big screen. Nothing beats it.
j.
Beautiful cinema, just the type I like very olde world, just so relaxing. Huge screen and big auditorium.
P.
Good seating angle, great wide screen
T.
Friendly staff, good seats and good over all appearance. But why do people still talk in cinemas.
S.
Good experience, big screen and high quality sound.
S.
Rather see a film here than Readings.
No offense to Readings but this place is more relaxed with the real cinema atmosphere.
C.
Historic building and comfy seats. They also cater to a lot of smaller theatrical releases.
U.
Perfect place to go to the cinemas, barely any people go here though which is sad to see.
C.
Great movie. The staff handling the covid conditions well
P.
What a great old theatre! The Rialto has so much character. While there's the old art deco feel about many elements of the cinema it is modern in all the ways that matter. We had great service for our movie this afternoon. We largely had the place to ourselves which was great. Staff were friendly and helpful and everything was nice and tidy. Great experience!
B.
Always love this theater 🎥 ❤️
H.
It was very fun, except the popcorn at the bottom of my box didn't have much salt.
A.
No ginormous line. Great, friendly service.
T.
Great cinema, with it's historical parts still visible. Great seating and cinemas are usually very tidy. Even has a seating area to enjoy a quiet drink before a showing. Parking is close at hand at the nearby parking complex. Great rates for family, and good rates for single.
Has a great range of options to purchase from the food counter, and has a friendly personal feel.
Staff I have encountered are always friendly and helpful.
Excellent place to enjoy a movie
R.
A nice small historical sort of cinema which gave a different yet nice feel compared to the usual big cinemas in malls. There was a good price deal at the time I went too which was nice! Would recommend if you want to watch a movie in Dunedin.
S.
Staff always friendly, and nothing better than sitting in the theatre and seeing the movie.
w.
Awesome cinema awesome atmosphere bit disappointed was charged extra for my children one being only 6 months the other 2 I later looked at there policy to find children under 3 are free
b.
Awesome cinema with awesome prices. Building has a super cool design and the cinemas themselves are very spacious and comfy. High recommend.
K.
Not very comfortable.and staff were quite rude.But the big screen they got was amazing and the suround sound was incredible.
I.
Nice friendly staff, clean environment, comfortable cinema. Most importantly their $9 Tuesday deals are awesome. My first movie at Rialto Dunedin was Tenet and that has become my favourite movie. I guess that makes Rialto my favourite cinema?
H.
Been going here since back in the day seeing LoTRs
P.
Watched End Game here. Awesome theatre that doesn't reek of popcorn and the floors don't stick to your shoes due to excess fizzy drink tipped all over the carpet. If you hate the stench of popcorn, or folding up like a contortionist to fit in your seat come here. Added bonus the staff are genuinely helpful and polite. Other theatres could learn from these people.
D.
My Favourite cinema to go to.
J.
One of the best cinemas in the world
M.
Spacious cinema with a very nice waiting area. They serve wine and a good selection of goodies in their candy bar. The history of the cinema is presented in an interesting manner as you walk to the floors above. We've always enjoyed the movies here.
W.
It show movie very gud
S.
Friendly and helpful service. Spoilt with a good coffee ☕😋 and always yummy popcorn 🍿
C.
Although design is a bit dated as compared to Reading, but the cinemas here are larger in both seating capacities and screen sizes. Seats are fabric covered, and comfortable enough, and is less packed. The movie screenings are also slightly different, so one would definitely notice a slightly different audience being catered to. If you do frequent this movie house, be sure to join the Cinebuzz club as you get one free movie for every six watched.
E.
Wide range of films to suit all kinds of audiences. Every 6th movie free for clubmembers. Club is easy to join and is free. Friendly and helpful staff. You can drink a glass of wine too, only very overpriced. Generally a pleasant experience and a lovely tidy, vintage venue.
M.
I love Rialto, it might be my favourite place. I love the atmosphere, the carpet, the railings on the stairs, the fact that they sell the collectable cups for marvel movies, the fact that it’s cheaper than Reading to book online, i love the way it looks, it’s beautiful, the sign outside is beautiful, and the chairs are comfortable. I’d say the only downside is the ticket cost for people over 14 years old, and sometimes the popcorn’s a bit too salty. But other than that, I love Rialto more than mostly everywhere.
K.
A fantastic cinema with a wide range of films on offer. We love the special film festivals available each year.
A.
14 bucks for a beer and popcorn combo was a good time. Would recommend beers and popcorn anytime
S.
The Rialto cinema is a wonderful place to visit for a wonderful movie experience. Some of the old theatre is preserved upstairs for nostalgia. Along with ice an and popcorn, coffee and wine are also served. It is also one of the venues for the NZ International Film Festival. Good facilities. Lifts to theatres and specialised seating for disabled.
G.
Just the right movie theatre to hang out with friends. Good choice of movies available, comfortable seats. First choice for movie theatre in Dunedin. Great staff.
M.
I first attended this theatre 25 years ago, on my first trip to Dunedin. Since then it has undergone a massive reno. It now has 5 smaller theatres. There are the usual tickets and ice cream, but you can also get a glass of wine to take with you into the theater. I think they also do fresh coffee. The bigger theatres handle the blockbusters but the smaller theatres present other, more boutique spaces where demand is smaller.
When they completed the reno they left some of the massive steel girders bare to show off the type of framed construction from the past. We're talking some serious steel. 1 metre high I beams with hot bashed rivets. So it's not just a place of entertainment, it's a piece of the past ready to view today you don't even have to buy a ticket to see the steel beams in the stairs heading to theatre 3. Another great piece of Dunedin history. I'd love to know the history of those big chunks of steel. Must have been amazing to watch those being rolled or cast from scratch. This place does private functions/ films, too. A local real estate broker puts on a bash there once a year.
S.
I like the heritage element to this place. Last night I went to see a film festival movie in a little theatre up the back I didnt even know existed. It was cosy and amazing. The staff are always friendly and the seats are way more comfortable than the other cinema option in Dunedin
L.
Apart from great coffee and comfortable seats they have good discounts for Seniors and a coupon card. After six movies you get one free.
M.
Excellent theatre. Very comfortable seats and great coffee.
a.
Not much options (just 2 in fact) if you want to go for latest movies in Dunedin. The theater isn't that big/great. Screen, sound system and seats are just ok. Rialto cinema is also cheaper than the other theater (i.e Reading cinemas). If you have Master card, then Wednesday is definitely a great choice for you, as an adult ticket + small popcorn + small drink will cost you just 11$.
P.
Unexpected gem in the central city.
Magnificent place hidden behind the cinema entrance doors.
C.
Great at scanning vaccine passes
N.
Reasonably comfortable but not great. Big screen (cinema 3) is big. Cinema 6 screen is tiny though, may as well watch on Bluray at home. The others average.
P.
Great movie experience.
R.
Great place to take the family or just your partner. Cinemas are comfy with good sound systems. If you want a beer or wine they are reasonably priced too.
A.
not as pack as Reading cinema.. i loovveee the layout, super simple and very spacious.. i went to watch Mamma Mia 2 last night at cinema 2, it was a bit smaller than cinema 3 which is upstairs but still enough personal space
K.
Watched a movies in cinema 5..way upstairs. Very tiny cinema perhaps 60 seats. Video projection was way down on brightness. Sound was ok.seats ok.
Cinemas downstairs much better.
W.
I would highly recommend Rialto Cinemas Dunedin to anyone. It is fast becoming one my favourite places to visit in the city and is an amazing place! Outstanding service, very friendly and helpful staff who go out of their way to make you feel welcome, a beautifully presented premise and an all around wonderful movie experience. Absolutely excellent and first class. I've been to Rialto Cinemas Dunedin several times and each visit is even better than the last. I always miss the place terribly when I go home to Nelson to visit friends and family. If only they had one up there! 5/5, outstanding!
J.
First time an loved it. It was nice an quite so not packed. Movie was boring that we watched bout overall the cinema was pleasent and will go back.
M.
Place is lit. Better for couples cause you can life the arm rests up. Don't sell frozen cokes though :/Overall score 5/7
J.
Love it. Real old school theatre feel. Comfy seats and great sounds. Not too loud. Really enjoyed the experience.
L.
Great Theatre,loved Helen Reddy movie 'I am Woman' .Looking forward to attending some of British Film Festival that's on now.
N.
Kids loved the movie Ralph Breaks the Internet. Made much easier with a school holiday voucher for two small popcorn for $5. Instead of being $5.50 each. Great saving.
J.
Great service.... Awesome movie... Thank you all...

2017-01-19 5.45 p.m. "Darkest Hour". Cinema two.
OMG it's too cold, way way to cold.
Save some power and turn up the temperature a few degrees.
Did I mention it was like a walk in freezer inside the cinema.
Other than that it was all good, thanks.
A.
Easy to drive in with my wheelchair. Nice and spacious.
S.
Love this place. Old school. Retro vibes. Always clean and tidy.

Fabulous old theatre with the largest screen in Dunedin, as well as a few other smaller screens, the old theatre architecture is still visible and creates a great Aura of old and new
D.
Watched the latest installment of Star Wars after having watched all the other movies on Disney +. A feast of Star Wars over a week. Best Movie Theatre in Dunners this one as well.
s.
Was a deal on for $9 tickets on Tuesday OK movie was very interested in the old layout they had still there from something but very cool would go again like the cheaper price days
C.
It's nice to do the movies with only a couple other people in the cinema
S.
Decent enough Cinema apart from the old popcorn and inflated prices. The main attraction is that Rialto play some movies that Reading do not.
c.
Great cinema. Best one in Dunedin. Reading cinema's popcorn is flavorless and saltym Rialto's tastes really good.
