Just eat before you go!! The food was so bad even the kids weren't into it. This was opening week for the boutique so I expected better.

I was a little disappointed to find that the Picadilly doesn't offer frozen slushies as drinks - maybe that's just in their competitor cinemas, or maybe it's a choice here at the Picadilly, but the frozen red slushie is a big part of my cinema ritual - I can stay home and watch a dvd on a big screen if I just want a big cup of diet coke - oh, yeah, where's the Coke Zero, too??? The complex is very clean, and the seats were uber comfortable - particularly compared to the somewhat cattle class seating in a megaplex, there was as much leg room here as there is in my Statesman. Nothing quite like the Gold Class offerings of the competitors, but you can get a good meal and movie package here, too. Sound was good, crisp, loud and clear - I didn't really feel a full surround sound experience here, but that may well have been the movie - "We Bought a Zoo" isn't the latest action blockbuster either :) Ticket prices... well... they're fair... I personally think all cinema's are overpriced for what they offer these days, but when they're all overpriced you get to live with it, right?? For the same price for a family of four we could have bought two full price DVD's and had them forever... why am I going to the cinema again??

The other thing is that this is the only cinema in the Adelaide CBD, so it is also pretty convenient, and the fact that they also include mainstream films on their lists does help in providing a central place to go and see a movie. Oh, and you can also take beer into the cinema which is a huge bonus.

It still has a "crying" room for babies with carers, a gallery upstairs and a downstairs easily accessed for those who have trouble with stairs, or heights. The staff are friendly and there are the usual choc tops and lollies available, as well as brewed coffee. They also hire out the venue for fundraisers, and the Royal Flying Doctors et al fit beatifully into the atmosphere with their crusts-cut-off curried egg sandwiches and sparkling wine. The best place to sit? Front and centre upstairs. You get a little shelf to put your sustinance and no one to block your view. But don't take my seat!

Always clean when I've been there (yay for not sitting down on melted ice cream and popcorn). The crowds are fairly small here, giving the viewings a cosy and homely feeling.

It makes me feel like I'm living in another era, when the studio lights are dimmed, trailers start rolling, and the candy guy (in uniform) pushes the cart in for people to walk down and select snacks. I love it! It's so cute, and I don't think I've ever seen it anywhere else in Adelaide. Then again, perhaps other cinemas do it but I only ever come here. The candy cart just adds so much character. Or it could just be me unleashing my inner 5 year old child. The studios are kept clean, and although it's not really a big cinema complex, it plays quite a lot of movies and holds many sessions. Come here on Tuesdays if you're like me and don't see the point of paying twice as much on any other day. Have a pre-movie meal at one of the many selections on The Parade. I should warn you though, sometimes the trailers go for half an hour, sometimes ten minutes. It's weird and unpredictable - but kick back, relax and enjoy!

I love the location of this cinema, and that I can make a day out of coming to this centre, because we don't live very close. As I flatly refuse to pay of $20 for a movie ticket, I haven't tried the Gold Lounge here. I'm just one of the masses, and I'm happy enough with that. The seats are new and comfortable, and the place is well-looked after and cleaned so you don't have to watch the movie along with other peoples' mess. As a concession, the $14.50 isn't too bad, and the $17 adult price is average I suppose, but it still feels like a lot. I go here when I'm in the centre and if on impulse I want to see something fun (like Puss In Boots :D) but I wouldn't make the trip, and would normally hang out for Nova $6 Mondays.

We payed heaps extra to exclusively be seated in a cinema and be treated very well. But our seats were just sectioned off in a normal cinema so we felt as though we were one of the plebs with loud noises and popcorn. The food was ok, nothing spesh and ridiculously priced and the waiters coming out always disrupts you and they get in the way. Honesty, go to Marion, it's much better.

Before the introduction of the megaplex, most of Adelaide's cinemas looked like the Capri in this stunning deco building with its lovingly restored interior. This beautiful Art Deco style cinema was originally opened in 1941 and hasn't really changed much over the years - as an old time movie buff I find this fact incredibly comforting. In the late 1970's the cinema was purchased by the Theatre Organ Society of Australia and it's these guys who have kept both the theatre and its centrepiece, the pipe organ, in state of the art condition. In 2003 the Theatre Organ Society won a commendation in the Edmund Wright Heritage Award for their efforts. While the organ isn't my thing, you have to appreciate the passion of the people who do love it. I've taken older family members to the cinema who have been clearly been transported back to their own childhood when they listen to the organ play. Over the years I've been to the Capri to see Hollywood blockbusters and Independent Releases and the theatre itself is available to hire for screenings and functions. If you want to make a night out of it of your movie experience at the Capri take advantage of their movie / dinner deals in conjunction with the Goodwood Hotel.

Pricing is on par with other cinemas and while it doesn't have the high tech digital equipment experience, movies come to life on the single large screen. The seats are comfy are authentic to the past-era of cinema film and the snacks are what you would expect at any other cinema. Capri even has an upper balcony for viewing from high angles. I have not tried the upper balcony but I presume it would be quite nice.
