Event Cinemas Chermside

Tried the Gold Class. They have just converted regular cinemas, so whilst the seats are great it doesn't have the cosiness of small Gold Class cinemas. There are heaps of people and waiters delivering foid.

4 Years ago it was there were many great experiences for gold class because the seats were comfy and the staff were friendly, nice lounge room and all.However the recent changes in early 2023 really was a let down. It changed my review from 4 stars to 2 stars.Lets start off with the basics, the general entrance looks awesome and the lounge is more out in the open and public, which is nice to see and a different feel to it.However as you approach inside the cinemas itself, it was a let down. We were expecting the same comfy seats originally from theatres 1 and 2 (before they closed down) and well it was very much a disappointment. The seats are smaller but the idea of reclining is there, it just didn't feel like the same atmosphere as it was beforeThe other disappointment was for people who are pensioners are going to find it hard walking up the stairs and even though there is support for that, in the past we found having an entrance to the rear of the cinema is better than the side entrance. However its good to see those that wheelchair access is availableThere is some good things though, like the sound and picture quality is nice. The reduction of ads is good as well too. The lighting in the room was good, maybe needed for the railings and steps would be handy.I was rather disappointed with the new look for the Gold Class and it has me rethinking about going there in the near future which is also made me sad rewriting this review. I wanted people to know that even as a loyal supporter for many years, to have seen this change was rather a let down.The food is great though! The prices well not so much but could have been better and more affordable.The best rows in the Gold Class cinema are in rows B to D, or the side seats near the side with the railings are.Overall though, I believe this could have been improved and I would like to see my future review change back

A true pleasure to visit the Event Cinemas at Chermside. The candy bar is world class and the screens are a cut above the rest. Experience the 4DX cinema if you DARE! good coffee too

Comfortable theatres, relatively clean, good sound and picture. It would be nice if the theatres had Dolby Atmos. Staff are usually friendly.

Went to the movies which we haven't done in awhile firstly the food and drinks are overly priced, when you walk up to the cinemas there is food all over the floor, seats and tables aren't cleaned down and has a funky smell to it, the paper straws to the drinks broke within 20 minutes meaning everytime I wanted a drink I had to lift the lid when I paid 17.50 for a combo, then as the movie finished went to the bathroom and they were absolutely disgusting. Seriously need to do better I won't be back I will take my money elsewhere for the experience and almost $90 later it isn't worth it. Do better chermside .

I went yesterday to catch a 4:00 movie in gold class. The girl at the counter you get drinks and food was totally rude to me. She didn’t want to take cash and pretended like none of the registers could... until I said I only had cash and asked her what I do in that instance... she rolled her eyes and made a loud huffing noise and then magically, the register could suddenly take money!! Imagine that! I asked her for a large soda water, which I had done several times at this theatre and told her they don’t have just soda water at the fountain drink area so I had to get it from the bar. She started to argue with me and told me I could only get a flavoured soda, and couldnt give me just soda water. I politely told her that many times I've come and they put soda water from the bar hose into a cup... she continued to argue and tell me that wasnt possible.... and I again said all she had to do was put the water in a cup and I would do it myself but there is not just soda water at the fountain drink area... she made another huffing sound, rolled her eyes again and said there's probably a good reason for that..." she then said in an irritated tone "I GUESS I now have to go walk over there and get you a cup." I was completely baffled and said politely that I was happy to go grab a cup and bring it back. She let out another huff and sigh and said

As a Special Education teacher from a local school, I am absolutely disgusted and appalled after visiting this cinema with a group of students and staff. The lack of inclusion for people with disabilities by the venue and staff was inexcusable. They offer limited and more expensive options for people who use wheelchairs, and need to be accompanied by a carer. The staff member who served us, was nothing but rude, unprofessional and made us feel that we were an inconvenience and burden for approaching her about tickets. She then proceeded to gossip and talk about us from 2m away with a fellow colleague. We will not be returning after this disgusting, appalling and downright unacceptable service from the staff members at Event Cinemas and the venue as a whole.

As of this review there is still work being done to the cinema space, but what is being rolled out is amazing. It feels open and modern, with the Gold Class experience and bar rivalling many city bar experiences. You can even order champagne and caviar to take into your movie! Although the movies are still comparatively expensive, the movie experience is great. Unless you go to the 4DX showing of Avatar Way of Water which sprays water at you the whole movie and as a result the movie theatre smells like a gym locker….

Gold class experience was amazing, food not so much. The bar and lounge was beautiful. Seats were incredibly comfortable, great reclining options and even has a seat warmer which we loved. Surround sound was amazing and watching a long movie has never been so comfortable. However, food was so disappointing for the price. Fries 3 ways were barely crispy and they looked sad. Salt and pepper calamari was disgusting as the batter was soggy and calamari chewy so we didn’t even finish it.
