Looking for a great time?? Reading Cinemas Dunedin is not the place. Where A Popcorn Odyssey (Almost) Gone Wrong. First flick in New Zealand, hyped for the big screen experience at Reading Cinemas Dunedin. Bleh!! The place was like a lost sad Narnia and turned inside out - crumbs everywhere, and who knows what lurked between the seats. The elevator? Don't even get me started. Think beer meets month-old socks.
