3-D We offer the latest in 3-D using the Real-D 3-D system. Glasses for use with this system are available for purchase at the candybar for $2.00. We encourage re-use of your glasses both as a saving to you and a reduction in non-biodegradable rubbish. As indicated above, there is a standard $3.00 surcharge for 3-D movies on all ticket prices.

The Lounge

The Lounge is a purpose-built intimate 16 seat auditorium utilising electronic projection. Our major focus for this cinema is arthouse, documentary and foreign material. Due to the limited seats available we strongly recommend prior booking of seats for screenings in The Lounge. Seating is allocated and assures you of the specific seats booked.

Sound Quality

Digital sound is a system that enables the clear reproduction of film sound through multiple speakers in the modern cinema. Comparing digital sound to normal cinema sound is like comparing a modern day CD to a long playing vinyl record.

DOLBY DIGITAL collects information from the sound track area of the film, passes this information through a sound processor which then feeds the cinema speakers with a multi-channel sound effect.

DTS sound information is in the form of a time code on the film which passes it's information to a CD ROM which then feeds the cinema speakers.

SDDS coded sound information is on the edge of the film which is processed and separated into eight channels which are then fed into the cinema speakers.

All three systems are individually different but give a very clear and distinctly separated sound effect.

The volume from these systems can be varied from low sound to very loud with clarity throughout this range. We strive to obtain an acceptable sound level for all.

Not all films are produced with digital sound, so in our advertising in the newspaper and other media that will indicate whether a film is being presented in one of the digital sound formats.
