Reviews of Event Cinemas Whangarei

N. D.

The movie was great. The Staff were friendly and helpful and it's a simple layout, making different areas easy to locate. Lots of parking, free after 5 or 6pm I THINK 🤔 The Cinema that we were in was very comfortable due to new seating. The only thing lacking was cleanliness. Nothing really bad,as if the Staff didn't clean between sessions. I will say that there were too few Staff on but I guess were all struggling at this time in our own ways.

Amazing movie great variety of food. Great staff. The guy who made the coffee though WOW!!! The nicest retail worker I have ever met in my life thank you for making my day

Care taken to keep people safe from catching Covid was good. Seating very comfortable. Lovely small studio cinema for an amazing film : The power of the dog. Sounds just right No glitches. The only negative thing was I could hear noisy music coming through the wall from the scenting next door

D. W.

A bit expensive for what it is compared to others. Seats a bit nicer now but didnt seemed cleaned or sanitised from the last people that were there.

s. f.

Helpful, organized staff who processed tickets for our big group very efficiently. Clean theatre, comfy seats.

P. Z.

Really nice place, seats are very comfortable and the screen was great, but the seats wasn't very clean

S. A.

It's got moderate cinemas with small to decent sized screens. If you want to watch anything on big screen at Whangarei you have no choice but get here. 1. movie tickets - standard event cinema prices which should be adjusted based on location I believe. 2. Seating - not much of leg room or comfort just decent seating. 3. Movie Quality - it's quite good and so is the sound system. 4. Hygiene - I don't have any great opinion as you may find junk on the floor sometimes and unsure of the toilets. Overall it's satisfactory to make some fair memories atleast for the quality of the movie👍

C. l.

Lady on duty. Was so Generous . Even allowed me in 40 min after start. Like the clean updated place.

M. M.

First time there , the staff were friendly and doing a good job in this lvl2 environment. All in all pretty good

Y. D.

Love whangarei only because of this cinema. Friendly staffs and very nice service, will always recommend it if you want to see the movies.

P. F.

Prices are still steep, but all the work they have done to make this a more comfortable experience is incredible. Great seats, and very spacey. Screen and audio is very clear, so well worth the experience. 10/10.

N. N.

The new and wider seating plus snacks and drinks tables makes for a great cinema experience.

When you need to get out for a couple of hours you can't beat the cinema new seats and comfort with a snack for the win.

D. T. C. B.

My Review is all good exept for 1 thing that should be Compulsary. They should bring back INTERMISSION.

Clean and tidy. Took grand kids to Spiderman. Ample refreshments

Enjoyed the spacious seating and new interior. Interested to know why tickets aren't checked anymore.

G. r. F. y.

It was quite dark inside the theatre which I did find a bit scary and suspicious. But my brave son Adam told me it’s apparently normal for movie theatres to be this dark. His dad must take him to movies. His father and I aren’t together anymore we divorced due to financial issues😂. So I’m obviously not the one to take Adam to the movies.

j. t.

Sometimes it is great to go and watch a movie....Peter Rabbit 2....when there is only 4 other people in the theatre. Clean and tidy,quick using self service ticket machine. Polite cashier. And you really need to go and see Peter Rabbit 2 ,fantastic movie.

A. F.

You have to love any venue that has parking literally at the front door. Theatres are modern with very comfortable seating. Great range of the usual snacks and cheerful staff. Always a great experience!!

K. K.

Comfy wide seats. Good picture and sound quality

H. s.

Social distancing, good staff, well managed by manager hes good talented person helped us with new instructions.

J. B.

Since the upgrade the cinema is actually quite amazing for a regional hub. Good food, alcohol is available, comfy seats. Gone are the hard floors. The screens are better and the sound is amazing. Do recommend.

C. D.

Picking up tickets could be made much quicker if there was a separate place to purchase popcorn etc. The cinema is great but I really dislike waiting to scan in pre booked and paid for tickets. Can add and extra 20 minutes to wait.

N. A.

Yay...fabulously renovated Whangarei theatre. Seats are awesomely comfortable heaps of leg and arm space (no more overlapping on to neighbors) and all so clean. Upcoming movies look good. But food n drinks could do with an upgrade with more reasonable pricing, especially for children. Well done Event Cinema Whangarei 4-⭐ from me.

E. C.

Great place to go with friends. Great discounts, great staff! Amazing service. Booking in advance helps too, and would recommend only to go in on Tuesdays as its only $12 for adults, seniors and children above 8 I think. Although snacks are expensive and the variety of snacks they have are not enough. Be prepared to pay 15.50 for a regular combo.

R. M.

Since renovation these cinemas are great. During COVID-19 they have enforced great social distancing for seat bookings. We went to Tenet in Level 2 and were only let down that the movie had not been correctly calibrated to the screen. Friendly staff.

P. S.

I regularly go to movies here. The staff are friendly and helpful. We've only had one significant problem when the air conditioning wasn't working and the cinema was stifling as a result. My partner pointed this out to management and we received free tickets to another movie. Overall, I'm pleased with the service we've received here.

T. N.

Amazing movie vibes!! Seats could do with the console in the middle opening for valuable storage spot but the cinema itself was worth it 😉

Good staff, nice service and good locations

s. b.

The cinema is in need of a thorough cleaning. Carpets, curtains and seats. Years if dust on the velvet curtains. Food stains in the carpets and seat covers. The experience of going out for a evening at the cinema should always be an enjoyable one. Let's get our cinema back to clean state. Happy movies

Yo to the guy at the counter he's the man cause his assistance made me save $30 at least

C. M.

Seats are now comfy after updating. The rooms are no iMax but they are ok. Popcorn is awful.

L. A.

Handy multi level parking right outside door, Super friendly and helpful staff, theatres are smaller in seating capacity so feels cute and safe. Only downer 🙁 it needs a make over the furnishings are tired but other than that the movies are Cool the pop corn is freshly popped, the drinks fizzy and the chocolate covered ice creams are Yummy (vanilla, boysenberry or orange with chocolate chips)

Great movie, good social distancing.

M. D.

The staff are great and always helpful plus there's always good photo opportunities set up for everyone

Excellent cinema, snacks, especially ice cream cones r overpriced!!!

The hygiene isn’t the greatest and comfortably has much room for improvement. The staff could be a bit more friendly. It’s fine for an occasional visit but the cinema needs better care and more enthusiasm.

M. P.

Comfortable clean seats. Clean facilities. Great treat for the kids; too costly to do often though!

B. V.

Great workers, great enthusiasm and smiles all round. Popcorn was 💯 and movie theatres nice and clean! Very happy

J. H.

Stunning movie June Again. Great balance between comedy and serious struggle of dementia. Well worth watching.

Comfy new chairs, easy to find.

j. h. p.

We had an amazing night there, watching detective pikachu got a cheap deal on food too we ordered 3 of there flavored combos $12 each for flavored popcorn of your choice with a drink And the kids sat through the whole movie. With a small income not bad for a family of 4.

C. P.

I mean, it's hard to talk smack about the movie theatre that I basically grew up in. The place is great. The atmosphere is always good, I've never really had a bad time coming here. Only complaints is compared to some places in Auckland, the seats are pretty average and the popcorn is often fresh and needing way more seasoning. Other than that, for Whangarei, it's pretty decent tbh

R. P.

Cinema is okay upkeep wise and is in line with its age, it's a bit confusing without showing names on each cinema room now. Be good to renovate the older rooms so there isn't an aisle in the middle. There is one young guy who works there who is a total tool though. Have had 3 snooty encounters with him when he's checking the tickets at the door for R16 movies; Asks rudely for ID (I am also clearly in my 30s) and threatened to not let us in when we didn't have any but had already purchased the tickets at the counter. Always has a sly remark and an attitude. Better taking a trip to Albany, enjoy a nicer cinema without the sass.

P. J. S.

Better now that it's been revamped, nice new seats- what spoiled the first 20 mins and into the main movie is that the staff forgot the cleaning lights on, in the theater-spoiled things for the family! (I had to go out and find a staffer to turn them off! Wow)

N. S.

Nice comfortable seats I only wish airliners where the same, freindly service at the kiosk with a wide choice.

M. H.

They have done up the place, I was shocked when I went to see fronzen2, you actually have nice comfy seats to relax and enjoy on while watching your movie. They now have different variety of popcorn and other food. Its lovely here do recommend

n. p.

Ignore the 3 star rating from last year as this cinema has received a fabulous face lift! Super luxurious and smaller cinemas make this a particularly special cinema experience

A. T.

I love a good movie. Good prices. The chairs in the older 3 theaters are a bit less comfortable then the newer 2 but still good enough to make it through a sitting.

D. N.

First of all if you have never been there before make sure you know where to find it. It was challenging looking where to park your car as there are no clear visible signs indicating that there is a movie theatre there. Even driving slowly looking for the entrance. There were 2 ways to enter. One had no signs at all you can walk past it and not notice it. Besides all that it looked like it needed a bit of a tidy up. It was good seeing a wheelchair lift inside. It looks like a small theatre as we didn't go in as the movie was booked out. So probably book online to make sure you get your ticket.

J. M.

I walked in there with a drink from another place and didnt even realise. They promptly told me that they state no food or drink allowed unless bought from the cinema, understandable. I then handed it over the counter to receive at the end of the movie. However just 5 minutes into the ad break, a staff member comes in and hands my drink to me, thanks for that whoever you were, the drink quenched my thirst quite nicely as the movie was very intense, I needed it.

Nice comfortable chairs and social distancing between groups 👍

L. C.

Made a last minute decision to go to the movies, bought tickets online in the car on the way so to avoid the queue, got to the theatre on time but then had to wait in the "online booking" queue which was a mile long... Event Cinemas need to update their booking system. If you offer a streamlined system that system actually needs to be streamlined... who waits in queues anymore anyway?

A. M.

I came here to see the movie Doctor Strange with my family a couple of years ago. As I recall the facility was clean and the employees were helpful.

g. c.

Good to have a good movie to go to..loved it about the Blooms lives. Great theatre and comfy not like the old days.

M. N.

Waited for grandson coming out of theatre. Watched a young man by the name of Ricky I think. What a great employee you have there. He kept the lobby spotless. He went from theatre to theatre to clean after end of session. He worked hard and never stopped. What a fab young man you have there..hold tight to him, workers like him are hard to find.

M. M.

Liking the new set up with comfortable seating. Getting a bit pricey; food,drinks etc to go on a regular basis. But still worth a visit or two on occasion.

W. T.

Had a good experience here. Went on cheapo Tuesday so it was reasonable value. It can be busy depending on the movie but we bought our tickets on line so got sorted really easily. All in all it was a great experience

P. T.

Seating arrangements are far better now they've been upgraded. Food is expensive, staff are nice.

S. A.

Went to see Toy story today ( Jul 9th ), So grateful to the young men there, Helping me into the lift and getting me a seat at the top, as unable to walk far as waiting for knee replacements. Excellent service & kindness,Thank you so much !

B. H.

Great movie called "Poppy," - and extremely comfortable seating. - Thankyou.

A. H.

Has disabled access. Seats and shows can be booked online. Online bookings have their own priority queue. Usual drinks and snacks available. The older cinemas on the lower level need a face-lift.

P. C.

Nice theatre, big comfy seats, great surround sound

F. T.

Great seats, friendly serving staff

A. C.

The new sofa type seats are so good no more sore bums at the movies ...

Great place. It's got wheel chair access

No complaints here 🙂👍

N. B.

Good sound system, fairly good picture quality. Seats need renewing and cinema 1 needs the lower middle screen cleaned as there's two dirty patches on it.

A. v. b.

It needs a movie/time display board rather then a small piece of paper on a pin board. The seating in the theatre was comfortable and spacious.

Great upgraded theaters, very comfortable experience.

R. M.

Mary Poppins Returns. More modern but still a good movie, nice that Dick Van Dyke was given a small role. Clean and Tidy. Staff helpful and friendly.

T. T.

My only issue is why is it 16 dollars here and 8 dollars 50 in Auckland. Maybe it's time some competition no options for movie goers would. Help. As we pay way to much for the popcorn and ice-cream as it is.

M. J.

Cinema is great with new seats and interior. Nice and clean, friendly staff

R. B.

The cinema upgrade is a huge improvement, spacious comfortable seating and much improved sound as well. Recommended.

Very comfortable seating

A. S.

Awesome family friendly facility, brand new large comfy seats, everything you need for a good movie.

J. v. W.

Well have to admit it was abit cold and a few extra seats out in the foyer would be good so one can sit until the movie is due to watch

R. S.

Great place on a date with my wife. Or good friends, now sale beers and wine, what next. Power wheelchair and mobility scooter friendly #LightTheWorld #givethanks

S. H.

Greenland. Wow, plenty of action through out the whole movie. Love Gerard Butler, he's an awesome actor.

i am vengeance

T. T.

Would have been easier without miss 2 not wanting to watch Peter Rabbit :)

E. H.

If you could share some hygiene tips with the people (1 person) showing people to their seats that would be great. Shower and deodorant go a long way...

O. K.

Decent cinema with average seating, kept quite clean and have friendly staff! Guardians 2 was incredible, should disassociate worth spark though, the thanks system is always down!

They opened late that day but the customer service was awesome 👌

C. M.

Wasnt too crowded. Comfy seats. Excellent time!

J. D.

Great place to go for movie with good screens and seats. Does need a little updating in places. Recommend going Monday night to have a whole screen to yourself.

Good people,good movies,great invironment, if your looking for a place to go to have a bit of fun, or maybe even want to drop the kids off so you can have a break? Then come down to Whangarei Event Cinemas,for an all around Great time!!!

M. B.

It's in a great location and the staff are always nice and helpful. My only issue is the seating... it's horrible. Small, cramped seats make for an unpleasant, uncomfortable viewing experience.

S. F.

Bathrooms smelt. The cinema was dirty on the seats and also smealt terrible. Staff were friendly enough. The movie seemed out of focus alot of the time.

Daaamn prices are through the roof. Spent my house deposit to watch Alita in 3D. Instead, i had my ear drums playing russian roulette because someone forgot their hearing-aid and cranked that bad boy to max. Good movie though. Would recommend to watch in non 3d format and from the comfort of your home. Save dat money - Lil Dicky

R. H.

Nice seats. Almost empty. No nutty top icrcreaams. Haha.

N. D.

Kind staff. Spacious cinema, with large and comfortable seats. It's clean. And there is parking on site. I recommend.

D. O.

It's great😁👍🎉 I 🙋 love (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) movies🎬The Lion🦁 King👑 was a fantastic🤘😝🤘 movie🎬 I really enjoy❤ it with my friend Jan

Q. S.

My son and I went to see The loin king. We have been redirected to new seats because other people say on our seats. Then we been asked to move over because where we were seating were their seats!! It was not a nice experience.

L. V. H.

Great place for entertainment. Not cheap but good. Rarely crowded. Do not park on the rooftop as we have had our car broken into 10 days ago.

P. W.

Great place, friendly staff, and fair price on tickets... they don't seem to offer 3D anymore, so that's a bummer. Otherwise I'd have given them a 5/5.

J. S.

Love the new seating & arm rests, was the cleanest I've seen in a long time.

Y. S.

Always enjoy a good movie and snacks, seats could be more comfortable but then u might not want to leave.

M. T.

Went there for 4.40pm screening of Avengers end game staff were great only downer was the popcorn was cold some burnt some stale There specials are better than I've seen elsewhere but still was bummed the popcorn wasnt like the popcorn you want to go to the movies for

B. P.

Always clean and tidy cinemas. The lines can be very long at peak times, suggest booking online either ahead of time or on your phone while standing in line.

A. W.

Great cinemas. Quite expensive extra's. I would highly suggest going on half price Tuesdays. Staff service is fast and professional.

J. N.

Staff are helpful. Has screenings for the majority of English films released. Price is a bit high in relation to other cinemas in new zealand.

O. R.

The new seats are so comfortable I didn't want to leave at the end of the moive

J. R.

Great staff great service, have had mixed experience in the past with the popcorn being stale but this time it was perfect! Cheers 🤙

A bit tacky and grubby but is the only cinema in Whangarei .I have visited today and a very good renovation is underway, new seats,curtains, carpet and more, a pleasure to visit now. I am adding another star.

Friendly staff and clean venue

Q. C.

Very helpful staff especially the manager James. We organised a private showing of a movie and the guys we super supportive in helping us get ready for it.

Good size theatres for a small town.

o. e. a. T. K.

One of the most enjoyable (SCI FI or ANY) movies I've seen in a while! Altho I amit, I'm probably a "Trekky" way way back to the original T.V serie's, this is a GREAT stanalone movie, that goe's backl to the origina's of the Enterprise crew : i.e: Captain Kirk before he was even in Starfleet! Excellent and enjoyable movie, that has humour, great special effect's, a STORY, almost everything!!!! A+++ rating from me, for this movie!

M. C.

Good upgraded seating, great staff and adequate mix of movies.

S. P.

Great was completely empty my daughter and myself really enjoyed it

P. s.

A cosy little cinema in Whangarei. I've never seen any of the cinemas full. Friendly service but the food and drinks are way over-priced!

W. m. (.

This place is ok but it really needs refurbishment. Cinemas can smell musty at times, service isn't always great, no gold star or extra facilities available.

Good movies, friendly staff. However, the cinema is in need of a facelift and more comfortable seating.

Amazing upgrade, thank you. The movies is enjoyable once again. Do hope it is maintained.

Bloody expensive $18.50 for one movie on my own..

Lovely big chairs, small but great cinema

T. B.

We love the new seats...so comfy and roomy! Nice upgrade guys 😁👍

B. F.

the seats we sat in were narrow and the drink holders not suited for the drinks, drinks fell out of the drink holders and all that fun stuff

J. C. (.

3 people popcorn and drinks $80 !!!! Just wow. OTT expensive. Especially hard uncomfortable seats. Gold class all the way.

C. J.

New seats are amazing, cupholders are way better, a much better setup.

K. B.

Great way to spend a wet weekend afternoon, at the movies. Not overly busy, and smashing smell of movie popcorn.

A. F.

The seat upgrades have made a HUGE difference. Now I love coming here.

What to say, popcorn and beverages were good, only thing slightly bothering was the theater was quite warm so sat uncomfortably.

C. E.

Getting a run down look now. Needs some TLC. Finally working on it now. Just as well, as a toilet seat was lying on the floor today.

J. T.

Great since the new makeover. Very comfy seats.

e. b.

As I sat in middle back row there was an interference at the rear from the wind outside that affected the sound quality of the movie

A. J.

Clean, no one there, new seats, chic top w nuts!!

R. W.

Went to a movie on a Monday afternoon in theatre 3. Popcorn on the floor and the seats are quite tired meant my review is just OK.

Generally a great place to visit with fast and pleasant service. Booking ahead makes a huge difference with reserved seating.

Very helpful staff. Nice air conditioning. Sound a bit loud.

Very cosy now that the theatre has been up graded.

Needs to be cleaned better but apart from that good cinema's!

R. P.

It's a slightly dated cinema which plays films. It does the job well and there are no nasty surprises

A good deal on Tuesday only $11. Could see the screen and the seats were ok.

F. H.

New look is great, good to see they have upgraded seats

Just another movie cinema. Decent service average facilities, popcorn on the floor and toilets that could do with a clear.

Great movie, popcorn was delicious, coke kept me awake all night

Love the new renovation they have just done, well done guys!

Pretty archaic seating arrangement but the friendly staff make up for it.

A great event cinemas, sightly smaller than the other nz city event cinemas, but plenty of screens and parking.

Seats getting pretty shabby. Not up to standard. Friendly staff.

D. R.

The seats and cinema halls are not very clean. Could be better.

Still going through renovations but should be great when finished.

Easy to park...no long queu..however..half hour of ads b4 feature film began.

Always like going here. We go at least once a month; the staff are friendly and helpful.

The whole cinema is in need of refurbishment. Many of the seats are in disrepair and some partly broken.

Always prompt efficient service when buying tickets etc. for a movie.

Once I found it I was pleased with service, theatres and staff

Very quiet on a Sunday afternoon, pleasant staff.

Awesome staff...seats a little small..and crowded

Awesome with the new comfy seats

Only 2 other people in cinema this time. But in the holidays its crazy

Great facility with comfortable seating

The only thing that lets down this place is the price of snacks. They are ridiculously expensive

Awesome and clean place great Staff

Lines should be seperate for those with tickets wanting snacks

good place to relax take your mind off everything

very good can be a beer when your in there

It's the only cinema in Whangarei, so there's really no pressure to innovate or be competitively priced.

Great cinema, small but good!

Always good for a trip out with the kids ;)

Seats no good and smelly time to upgrade

Helpful staff. Couch was comfortable.

Kids under 5 running lose in main foyer is a no-no, leave them out!

Cinema a little dated. Could use a refresh like other event cinemas
