Reviews of Embassy 3 Cinema

K. N.

Screen had a cobweb or something on it top right side - ether the backdrop or the projector had a spot on it. The popcorn was burnt and the seats where okay - on the upside counter staff where well presented and friendly and the cinema itself was clean and tidy. If the popcorn and viewing issues where sorted would give it a 4 or 5

S. G.

Bought our tickets online to avoid the queue at the ticket kiosk only to find we had to queue to get another ticket to get into the theatre. Won't bother doing that again.... Referring to the owners response, firstly there is nothing on the ticket that says you have to report to the sales kiosk to "redeem" the ticket you've already purchased online. Secondly, we went as a group of four, and while no seats were allocated, we expected to avoid the queue and get early access to four adjacent seats. By the time we had waited in the slow moving queue to redeem our tickets, and find that the system could not even issue us tickets, we were only able to get four seats on the far left of the theatre. Yes, at Focal Point in Feilding and Palmy you do have to redeem your online ticket, but booking online allows you to reserve a seat.

Good movie, great company, freezing cold outside but nice n warm indoors.

B. T.

Love watching movies here, definitely has the nostalgic feel whenever we go. Much better now the seats are upgraded.

N. 1.

Good service and overall pleasant viewing with adequate seats drink holders and tidy cinema only down side that I wouldn't lower rating is lack of cinemas thus makes viewing times limited

L. W.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The volume of the film was just right and quality of colour was good. The staff were very helpful. Nice clean toilets. Over all, a nice atmosphere.

J. G.

Its a while since we've been to the Movies, so arriving to Embassy 3 and being told we'd be in the small theater we were surprised ! What an Amazing little theater,20 comfy chairs cups to hold drinks or snacks,all most took my mind off James Bond 007. Congratulations on developing this lovely comfortble Theater.

R. H.

Nice little theatre excellent movie large potatoe chips packets

"For me, there is nothing more valuable than how people feel in a movie theater about a movie." -Will Smith. Truer words have never been spoken. It's always a good time goin' to the Embassy 3. It really makes you feel like you're at a movie theater. I've been coming here since I was a wee lad, and I think it's about time I give it the rating it deserves. I've had nothing but great experiences with the staff, especially with that Ashleigh girl, very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work! 🔥

L. M.

The staff is really friendly and the place is retro and well kept. Second time I have been. Second time volume is too low on movies. Also sound was as if only front speakers.

P. R.

Still going strong after many years, the three cinemas offer as much variety as you can hope for in a town this size. Snacks are, predictably, expensive.

R. R.

Wow, there new lounge is very nice. The staff are well mannered. Do you think you could get more vegan friendly ice-cream, popcorn, sweets. Countdown has a good selection. Please.

A. K.

The cinema theater is old one in Whanganui and decent tickets price. They have food court to eat some snacks while watching movie. The staff is friendly too.

M. V.

Clean and spacious, comfortable chairs. Lots of variety in movies. Good prices.

T. M.

I just saw Spider-Man: No Way Home and I couldn't have gotten any better service. 5 stars

P.

Loved the atmosphere and enjoyed the movie

K. C.

Show was wonderful. Polite staff. Only thing is they are not mobility accessible. My disabled and I just presumed there would be a lift. Pays to check beforehand.

A.

Great staff very helpful. The usher helped take my Nana in to the theater as she was in a wheel chair. Young lady helped me sort out my parking as the council parking meters have max parking of an hour and a half, so was guided round to the parking out the pack which is cheaper and for longer. Only down side was the theater was very cold and the sound was just a little too loud. I would still visit but I'm not sure my Nana would go back.

F. S.

Great for family and friend hangouts the staff are hilarious and full of banter and excellent customer service. The facility hs undergone a massive upgrade and it looks and feels amazing.

Y. S.

The cinema has good quality video and good sound but it is a little messy when but other from that it’s pretty good.

P. G.

great cinema Screen 1 upstairs poor access for elderly/disabled No Tme To Die is a ribbosj special effects fest

J. S.

Fantastic fast service new seats that are comfortable and big with lots of leg space. only wish there was more food choice

B.

Nice and clean and cosy.

J.

Solid experience. Too many ads at the start of the movie. Otherwise pretty good

R. T.

Sound is poor compared to others no surround sound and volume low. Sadly they rated new seats as more important. Also popcorn is served in bags so be prepared for the noise

P. C.

Though running from behind with mechanical issues with cleaner 5he blonde gal was always courteous to patrons. Same couldn't be said for other member og staff that failed to direct us to cinema 4 and didn't bother to mention that cinema had no identification yet posted

D. C.

Awesome cinema and super friendly staff. I think her name was Ashlea, look out for her at Embassy 3!

J. N.

Always have a good variety of movies with different genre to please every member of the family. Reasonable prices and a good selection of snacks and refreshments. A awesome night out for the family.

J. J.

It's been awhile, but always nice to sit back and relax at Embassy 3.

A. R.

Getting a lot better in the range of movies been shown.

S. B.

Good collection of movies but very disappointed don't cater for people with disabilities to climb stairs. Otherwise good.

D. V. (.

Awesome cinema with a heap of history and wonderful staff. New seats will be put in soon so can't wait. I'm always impressed by the sound quality

D. G.

Helpful staff. White walls in a movie theater just lights up a room. There's a reason most are darker walls. Seats were average at best. Toilets were strange. No locks on doors. Not knocked off just none installed. Only way of knowing if it's occupied is if the door is closed you check if you can see an outline through the frosted glass.

D. E.

Awesome and comfortable, clean. The only thing was how loud it was. But everyone is different so all in alle massive. We go at least every two months. Love going

D. T.

Place was packed and me and the kids unfortunately missed all the showings of the end game. Oh well. Cinemas are average, not great quality projection and always smell musty like roof is leaking or something.

C. S.

This is a great cinema complex, 4 theaters, varying sizes, good Bix Office staff, it's always a pleasant experience.

P. C.

Always playing the latest movies in a number of boutique theatres. The decor has become dated and a number of seats have over extended backs which not as confortable as could be. However ticket prices and the ever requested frozen ice cream in cone puts a smile on your face. Recommend. Must mention all seats now in tip-top condition following recent renewal programme, so all pluses now.

B. L.

I've not been to see a film in a very long time. Seats are super comfy. The whole experience is definately 5 star. Definately be returning

b. c.

took the granddaughter to there for her first movie was great and price was reasonable

G.

An older place but a goody .. Would Highly Recommend..

D. M.

It's clean and tidy. Only suggestion is not to have the popcorn salted by Embassy as ours was way way over salted. Some people believe it or not actually don't like a lot of salt. Have a salt shaker for the public to use, just a thought.

R. J.

Good movies friendly service

T.

Really nice in there since upgrade, but ticket and food prices are way to expensive

D. E.

I enjoyed being at the theater. Comfortable and clean. The sound is amazing aswel. We go often here in Wanganui. 10/10

C. P. (.

Went to see Raya, awesome. 5 star because home entertainment, will never beat the cinema.

S. W.

It's getting better and better with the upgrades... I will always want to go to the movies with my family and it can be pricey as a whole family going but worth it when you have decent seating...

H. S.

Always a great place, credit to Wanganui. Love our theater

J. B.

Loos could be ch3cked. No button to flush in one. Otherwise theatre good. Miss the theatres like have in Akl and up north where you can buy and take in a wine .

A. M.

1953 I was 10. Loved Movies. My Grandad accompanied me. Gone With The Wind..Red Shoes..South Pacific and many more A fivepenny icecream Happy....

F. I.

I come to the cinema once in a while, though everytime I have been it has been a good experience. Team are always friendly and professional, food and drinks are well priced.

K. M.

Great movie and food. Fast service.

T. B.

Love embassy 3. Only complaint would be the popcorn bags are really loud, could they be changed to boxes?

B. A.

Tidy, open, and has variety, food is still way too expensive with cinemas.. but they'll also look after your bag if you have one

P. S.

Decent cinema, recently been updated with new seats and they are in the process of adding another room for more games instead of the lobby.

K. W.

We enjoyed our time here helpful staff and the movie was great too

G. M.

Leo .. Put your hand in your pocket before you criticize condemn and complain. Do you know what it takes to maintain a building like that ? I think the owners have done well considering the current economic climate and the amount of help you get from the WDCouncil and the government. They've actually done awesome

P. F.

Reasonable cost for tickets etc. Great service from staff. Good place to spend time on a rainy day with the grandkids.

C. B.

Art Deco inspired building. Modern and comfortable seating. Grate place to watch a flick.

S.

J. B.

Cinema has been up dated with comfy new seats in its cinema 1, and has an awesome surround sound set up.

M. N.

Some of the cheapest tickets I've seen. $10 for a student, with a small popcorn and a drink, it went to $18. Screens most movies twice a day
