Event cinemas are a regular haunt for us, yet they really need to roster more staff on. Lines are always huge to buy tickets and there is always a poor selection of items at the candy bar (which are always very overpriced). Actual cinemas are very good and the complex is spacious.

Approximate cost: $20

I get frustrated when seeing a 10am movie - the movie is supposed to start at 10am, but they don't open for ticket sales at 10am. The line can get very long then and the kids get frustrated in waiting.

I love going here - there is so much choice and the staff are really good. I love booking online these days as it saves so much time lining up. Gold class is great too

Booking online is a must for these cinemas. It is the best way to get a good seat and not have to stand in line for hours. There is a nice space where you can wait for people you are meeting up with, with plenty of room and interesting displays to see.

I love the old fashioned experience mixed with the modern day cinema experience. The prices at the candy are are fairly steep but as to be expected at the movies and they are not to far reached and are fairly competitive with the prices

Approximate cost: $25

On line booking is the only way to go, lines are too long to just go to a movie on a whim. Reserved seating is great, ushers are good to resolve problems. Never buy from the candy shop, TOO EXPENSIVE! Family of 4 to go to movies is $100, would like better value than an hour and a half's entertainment.

Approximate cost: $100

These cinemas are always packed out. They're expensive and the lollies from the candy bar are stale. Not bad as far as cinemas go - although I don't like the reserved seating. I tend to book on line so that I can get decent seats.

I've never had a problem coming here. Love going to VMax to watch movies, and I usually book my tickets online. The new layout of the self serving candy bar make it alot quicker to get your snacks and go in, but unless you're splitting the costs with a friend, the snacks can end up being pretty expensive (and possibly more than the actual ticket cost)

There is nothing wrong with the layout and the experience of watching a movie there but what let's it down is the lack of staff at the ticket sales and to buy food. We have been several times b4 when only one counter is open and it takes around 40 mins in total to get tickets and food.

Approximate cost: $14.00

I enjoy my experience every time I go to see the latest releases on the biggest screens around! The staff are always friendly and greet you with a smile. The only downside to the story is the ticket prices. The ticket prices keep going up, which tickles the pocket a little, but I am mostly okay to look past that fact and enjoy myself.

Approximate cost: $14

Marion cinemas are getting a bit old and are always crowded. The allocated seating is quite frustrating unless you get there really early. You could miss a movie because you can't get seats together even though they still have tickets. Sometimes still dirty in the isles and seats. Can get quite expensive, charging an extra $1 to book on-line is outrageous.

Good place to come to cinema as can spend time shopping first, grab a meal then go to cinema all in one location. Great place to meet friends for a night out. Find that it way to expensive to buy drinks or snacks.

I went to this movie theater and the line for tickets took about 30 minutes to clear. An entire ticket counter was closed, which would have cleared the line much faster. It is disappointing with the new cinemas (I think they are called v-max) that they not only cost more but sometimes there is no option to see a particular movie in the cheaper theatres.

Went here to see Avatar and the movie was great. In terms of the cinema's they were a bit tatty (Cinema 20) and needed renovation and a bit more of a clean, however its understood that it was the end of the day, not the beginning. Getting tickets was a smooth process, despite what was a relatively long line

Approximate cost: $15-20

Marion Megaplex is a great looking place. Big, lots of lights, lots of sound and craziness happening. It hypes me up to be honest. But then I am let down by the huge line up for tickets, then the huge line-up for food, then the empty pockets after buying food. Too many wankers talk during movies there too. Gold Class is always exceptional though :)

Approximate cost: $50.00

it's a great cinema because it has the biggest range of movies in South Australia. it also plays movies for a bit longer than all other cinemas, which means if you are busy you still have the chance of catching the movie with some friends at marion. however the downside is that, because it's a huge cinema, many people are there especially teenagers, which is annoying sometimes because you can't enjoy a movie peacefully. i also don't like the new system they have which requires you to identify where wou want to sit, i would like to go in and see the most suitable spot available rather than choose beforehand.

Approximate cost: $depends

The biggest cinema in Adelaide. I find it needs a good upgrade as some of the facilities is closed or broken down. Not too sure about the pre-booking seats.
Staff are friendly and helpful and the size of the screens are fantastic.

I always buy my four children a large popcorn and take plastic cups in which to put it for each of them. Last week I forgot to take plastic cups so I asked at the candy bar if they had any and said I was prepared to pay for them. The attendant went out of their way to tell me that plastic lolly bags work better and got me enough to use. I was also not charged. I appreciated the assistance.

Approximate cost: $0.00
