Academy Cinemas

Cute little cinema tucked underneath the city library. Great selection of old/current movies and a great third place for avid film fans or just anyone wanting to catch a $5 Wednesday movie. Only qualm is how inaccessible it is - have to walk down several flights of stairs, no lifts

A good place, always featuring classic movies. And the Wednesday Deal it's amazing.

A happy experience every time I've go!
Whether it's the film,
the crowds vibe or the ice cream, I always enjoy my visit- especially $5 Wednesdays!
The staff are super dooper too.

Is wheelchair accessible and staff could not have been kinder or more supportive in making sure we were comfortable.
However. The access from lift to the theatre was difficult because the hallways were littered with furniture etc.
And
The theatre is an old one and only place wheelchair users could access was at the very front. Difficult physically if you are longsighted or have neck/spine issues making looking up difficult.
Despite the issues I would go again. 💖

Loved the vibe of this cinema! I’m dropping two stars because the seats are SO uncomfortable :( I was wriggling around through the entire movie and it was hard to concentrate because of it! Popcorn only comes in one size which is small, wish it were bigger. They play old classic movies which is cool.

Great cinema playing both recent and classic films. The fe l of an old cinema and great boutique menu to match. I really enjoy it.

I go here for $5.00 Wednesday which is pretty awesome as mainstream flicks are sometimes screened and you can then watch it for $5.00 (or $6.00 if you book your ticket online). I tend to buy my ticket in person and just go a little earlier to secure my favourite seat. Popcorn, ice cream and other snacks and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are also available to purchase. There is no lift unfortunately.
