Check this crazy story of Hoyts screwing and scamming people! Sorry in advance if I'm bitter (be…read morewarned there will be some swearing)...so I finally decided to see Star Wars today and was a bit surprised that it cost $42.30 for 1 ticket, a large coke and large popcorn especially since they didn't have any prices on the menu as they had one of the stupid new digital ones that is always changing and only said "from $5.10" for drinks and "from $6.95" for popcorn. I didn't have time to argue as the movie was about to start so I just asked for the receipt. The girl didn't know how to print the receipt so she had to call a manager to tell her how to print one, wtf? Grabbed it and ran into the theater. Turns out I didn't have to run as they had 18 fucking minutes of commercials before the movie started. I don't mind watching previews of new movies but they only had 2 of those and the rest were ads...isn't the whole point of paying for a movie is so that you don't have to watch ads? This isn't free TV or free radio. So the movie starts and I'm already a bit bitter especially since my popcorn was already gone before it started. But I settled in and it turned out to be a pretty good movie...although I was kind of expecting halfway thru for them to stop the movie and have more ads, I mean why the fuck not? Movie finishes and I go to see if I can find the prices...didn't see them so I asked the same girl that rang me up how much a large pop and popcorn was, and she said the combo is $20.90. I started to turn and walk away when out of the corner of my eye I see a small screen that flashes a quick menu of all the prices so I wait for it to scroll thru all the screens (like 10 of them) before it cycled back and flashes for less than 2 seconds and it's gone again. Didn't even have enough time to see how much either of them were it went so fast. So I wait for the cycle again and bam, I see a large popcorn is $9.95. But have to wait again for it to cycle thru so I can find the drinks but miss it again cause it cycles so fast but get it the third time...$8.40 for a large soda, so I should have only been charged $18.35! I take a picture of the menu with my phone and ask for the manager. She comes down and I tell her I think I was overcharged for my pop and popcorn. She looks at my receipt and says, "nope that is correct, a large pop and popcorn "COMBO" is $20.90". I say clearly if you add up the two individual prices that it only comes to $18.35. You won't believe what she says next! "Well, ya if you bought them individually that's what they cost but you got a combo and that's the price of a combo. And because you already ate and drank the stuff there is nothing I can do." That is literally what she said and I so wish I would have recorded this conversation. So I'm like, "so you are saying it's cheaper to buy the individually than in a combo" and she says something like, "yes, cause that's the way we were told to ring them up" and then she goes on to say something about how it's $27 for a large star wars combo with the souvenir tin/cup but if customers don't want that, then they downgrade it to $20.90. I'm just flabbergasted at this point and don't know what to say so I just say, "none of this is making sense to me and I honestly do not understand what's going on..this is crazy...especially since you say you can't do anything about it but you can at least give me $3 back, right?"..."I guess I could do that" she says and goes and gets the money. The kicker to the story is because I had to stay after the movie to talk with her (and watch 18 minutes of ads), the mall only gives you 3 hours free and it put me 15 minutes over, so I was now supposed to be charged $5 to exit. I left the ticket inside the car so instead of paying at the machine before I left I would just pay with my credit card at the gate. But thank god, for some reason the gate was open (pretty sure cause a huge rainstorm had just came thru and they kept them open so people didn't have to get their cars soaking wet putting their windows down) so I didn't have to pay! Yay. So the point of the story is: #FuckYouHoyts , I will avoid you as much as possible in the future...just think of all the hundreds of innocent people you scam every day. No wonder the theater was almost empty and doesn't surprise me that movie theaters aren't doing well nowadays especially when we now pay so that we can watch ads before the movie! Can you at least put an asterisk on your website that states *there will be 18 minutes of commercials added on to the start of the movie and *it's more expensive to by a combo than individual items. Please share this with all your family and friends so they can be warned the next time they go to the movies and so they don't get screwed this xmas.

Chauvel Cinema offers a different perspective on traditional mainstream cinemas such as Event or…read moreHoyts. Chauvel Cinema attempts to brings it patrons back in time to an era where cinema was something we did only on special occasions. The cinema offers patrons wine and beers as opposed to large cokes. Their combo deal is popcorn and a beer or coffee with a slice of panettone cake. The lounge area is decorated beautifully complete with vintage movie posters and memories from the cinematic ghosts of the past. The cinema foyer is indeed beautiful, complete with gorgeous ceiling lighting. The cinema is in the historic Paddington Town Hall building and locals petitioned to keep this building open when it temporarily shut its door a few years back. The cinema has two rooms. They aren't as big as the other cinemas but if your after something different this is the place to go. They offer more arty films so think films that would be show at film festivals such as Cannes or Sundance.

Just 7 months later the Chauvel reopened to a passion equivalent to if it had been closed for years. The Chauvel remains an important part of our cultural landscape, with the foyer refurbished innovatively using recycled toilet pipes as chandeliers (I like to think they are not literally recycled but remnants or off-cuts!) and a fabulous programme of new arthouse releases, film festivals, and cult cinema nights. They sometimes throw a band on in the foyer if its in keeping with the film that's screening. Grab a drink at the bar and sit on the balcony if you can get a spot, and thank the Palace cinema chain for restoring the Chauvel to its' former glory.

My first and probably last time at Palace Cinema Leichardt. My main complaint about this place is…read morethat there's only one queue for both movie tickets and the bar. So if you've taken the trouble to buy your tickets online, and want to relax and have a drink before or during the movie, you still need to line up with everyone else who hasn't bothered to buy a ticket in advance. I would gladly have had a few drinks before the film but was dissuaded from doing so by the long and slow line. These guys need to do a better job at improving the venue experience. For example, install self service kiosks where people can purchase tickets and then free up staff to provide fast and friendly service at the bar. Speaking of the staff, they all seemed pretty demoralized last night when I was there! No smiles, just the perfunctory barking of crowd-control commands like 'cinema six is now open'! Lastly the bins and toilets were pretty disgusting last night by the end of the evening show, making it clear that they're emptied/cleaned at most 2 times a day. We live in an age when home movie streaming has made massive inroads into the revenue model of cinemas, so they need to make sure the venue experience is first class. Licensing cinemas was a good first step, but clearly Palace Cinemas need to do a little more.

Even though we had just travelled about 24 hours, we decided a movie would be a nice way to kill said time. I thought it would be a nice nap time but the movie was interesting and none of us slept. This theater is odd but interesting. You buy tickets at the concession stand. I wish I had tried the popcorn but I assumed I might not be awake so eating was out. The theaters are spread around the floor in different pockets of the area, so it's more like walking to a different shop. Even though it was a matinee, we were told it was mostly sold out and that we'd have to sit in the second row. This worried me but the person selling the tickets said it's where they prefer to sit and, again, I assumed I'd sleep so we agreed. We sat in theater 11 and lone behold, it wasn't going to be a problem because the screen is far away and there's a good amount of space between the front row and the screen. The other unique thing about this room was there was a large window. I've never seen this in a movie theater before and it was cool. Don't worry, the drapes, once closed, were nice and thick and let no light in. The seats were comfy and did manually recline. I only like to recline if there's a leg rest though so I didn't do that.
