HOYTS Northlands — Local services in Christchurch

04/10/2017 - It has been nearly 3 years (last visited on 3 Jan 2015) since my last visit to this cinema. Things have changed especially the seating inside each cinema. One thing I noticed was there is plenty of legroom and wide individual seat. The sound system has definitely improved. However, the seat was not as comfortable as the Reading Cinema (from The Palms). Nonetheless, it was bearable to sit while watching for 1 hour and 41 minutes (+ trailers...etc.). Just like the Reading Cinema, I bought my ticket online. However, unlike Reading Cinema, I was told to have my electronic ticket to be printed out at one of their counters. They said the rules/ procedures have changed this week. Would I go back to this cinema? Maybe once awhile but definitely not monthly or so (unlike my monthly movie trip to Reading Cinema). Hey, don't let my 2 cents worth of opinion to sway you away from this cinema. Try it and see if you like it or not 😏. Service - ⭐⭐⭐out of 5 stars. Atmosphere - ⭐⭐⭐out of 5 stars. Furniture (i.e. seating) -...

We went to a cinema in Christchurch and booked one of those double bed seats — not a recliner, but an actual bed with cushions and padding. As soon as we lay down, we both looked at each other like, “Yup, this is next level.”

It felt just like watching a movie at home — legs fully stretched out, cozy, and completely chill. No air con, but the room temperature was comfortable enough. There’s a small side table next to the bed for drinks and snacks — super handy and doesn’t get in the way.

My girlfriend kept saying how comfy it was and that we’re definitely doing this again. Honestly, we almost fell asleep halfway through (not because the movie was boring — the bed was just that comfy 😴).

Totally recommend this for date night, or if you just want to relax and enjoy a movie in the most laid-back...
