Having been a student at the University of QLD for nearly 5 years now, I am ashamed to say that I…read morehave not taken regular enough advantage of the Schonell Twin Cinemas on campus. Playing mainly independent, foreign and art-house films, the Schonell is open to the public but barely anyone knows it exits. The cinemas themselves are quite beautiful and intimate, with comfortable and slightly stereotypical red theatre seats and dim lighting. The theatre is essentially run by two people, the projectionist and manager and they look after this place with much love. The Schonell does not get anywhere near enough advertising, even on campus you will only see the movie posters up at the theatre itself. A few things to note: - Opening hours and session times change depending on what films are being shown - The box office opens 30 mins before each session - They accept cash only but there are plenty of ATMs on campus - The Cinema runs from Thursday to Monday (no sessions are screened on Tuesday or Wednesday) - They have an awesome student discount (especially for UQ students) - There are also movie/meal deals connected with the Schonell Pizza Cafe It is such a privilege to have independent cinemas around and this is one classy joint that deserves much more love than it currently obtains. Check out the website for the currently showing and upcoming films.

Every time I go to the Schonell Cinema, I want to run outside after the film and scream, "Why don't…read moremore people come here??!" It is seriously an untapped resource. There's only ever a handful of people in the cinema and it worries me that they may one day decide to cut their losses and it close it down. Thus, it is my personal mission to spread the word. I suppose the downside to the Schonell is that is doesn't show a great number of films at once (usually around 4 or 5) and screenings aren't so frequent. You're also limited to mostly art-house/alternative films at the Schonell, another aspect which probably detracts from its popularity. But my way of thinking is that movie tickets at Schonell are so cheap ($6 for UQ students, $8 for other students and $12 for adults) that you can afford to go often and see lesser known films that you may not have otherwise chosen to pay big money to see. That's what I like about the Schonell. You can broaden your mind for not too much money whilst sitting in a comfy chair. Hot tip: if seeing a film in the main theater, choose a seat in the front row--they recline!

The student rate for tickets is $5.50 for a matinee showing. Might as well end the review there,…read morereally. Most of Oz is expensive, but not this place. They have one big screen and several pedestrian ones, but they show most of the major movies and are right in the middle of all the goings on at Southbank. Fair warning: you'll see ~25 minutes of ads before your show starts, including promos for surrounding business as well as movie trailers.

I've been spoiled by going to the Palace Barracks here in Brisbane as my first movie experiences…read morebut have to say the the Cineplex has its charm. Being located in South Bank, it is so accessible and placed right in the middle of shops, restaurants, etc. The ticket prices are very reasonable at $8.50 and $6.50 if you're a student. For a late movie on a weeknight, the cinema was super crowded. My film was being shown in cinema 5 which is the former IMAX screen so the screen is gigantic and theatre is huge. I really loved it because my film was action packed! I didn't enjoy the 30 minutes of commercials before the movie though. I understand a few but the worst commercial was even repeated twice!! Also, remember to bring cash. If you're wanting to watch a movie on a budget, the Cineplex is the place for you.

Unfortunately each time it was part of the kids order and they are too polite to say anything until afterwards, when it's too late to rectify, so the money has been wasted. Gold Class is good, if expensive- seats are comfy, leg room is good. On one occasion there were unsupervised kids running around making a racket, with staff not doing a thing, which isn't what you want at over $40 a ticket.
