EVENT Cinemas

manukau event cinemas is always the best place to watch Indian movies, overall good experience, just the long wait at the ticket counters is not goof

Very large cinema complex with current movies. The snacks are a ludicrous price - take your own. Busy but they have 4-5 staff selling the tickets and you can book online.

Highly disappointed by last visit to Manukau event cinemas. Firstly when in the middle of trying to book tickets online suddenly the booking disappeared and no screenings were showing for the cinema. I tried to call the cinema and nobody answered the phone (this was during normal day hours). Eventually found out over facebook that the cinema had closed until further notice. Finally was able to book tickets online after several hours. Once at the cinema with plenty of time till the movie started at 9pm, ordered some food at 8.45pm and were told by staff that they no longer delivered food into cinema as was done last time we visited. They said the food would be ready on time. It was a basic order of 2 hotdogs and wedges which shouldn't take long. At 9.05 pm after waiting 20 mins I asked when the food would be ready as the movie had started and staff said it would only be a couple of minutes. At 9.15pm I asked for a refund as we had missed the start of the movie waiting for half an hour for food and didn't want to wait any longer. As I was talking the food was brought out and we made our way into the movie, barely able to see as all the lights were out and having missed 20 minutes of the film. No apology was given at all and staff could have offered to bring the food in if they were running late but they didn't bother. Very poor customer service. Next time will bring in our own food and not ever bother ordering the expensive cinema food again!

This is a cool theatre. Awesome arcade great fun for the kids....only down side is the food and snacks are so expensive on a plus the place is always kept so clean and tidy

generally a great place to go. Facilities are good, and every time i have been the cinemas have been cleaned well. only downfall is the ridiculous prices - $25 for 2 small drinks and 1 small popcorn!
