    3D, VMAX fees are the worst :(
    Hard to avoid because majority of the popular sessions times are in 3D or VMAX… I usually don't book online to avoid the booking fee. IMO booking online should be cheaper.

    but $10 still bargain compared to normal price…

      i was thinking about the online booking fee. i think its probably designed as a minor disincentive, because people who buy tickets the old fashioned are more likely to spend at the candy bar - which is the source of the cinema's best profits.

    booking fee for Argo? Argo f*** yourself…

    Whats the pick of this crop?

      Honestly? They're all pretty good.

      Taste is subjective and all, so just look them up on Wikipedia and see if any of them interest you. They're all 70%+ on Rotten Tomatoes, so there are no major stinkers in the list.

    • Zidago on 19/02/2013 - 16:48

      Depends on the types of films you enjoy. If you like popcorn flicks, Django. Musicals? Les Mes. Romcoms? Silver Linings. Go team America, we're totally justified for everything we did these last twelve years? Zero Dark Thirty.

      You get the idea.

    • KBZ on 19/02/2013 - 17:04

      Zero Dark Thirty was okay, but not something I'd want to watch in the cinema, more like one of those watch at home stuff.
      As with Flight same thing, surprised with Denzel actually, he normally signs on movies with a bit of action. Very slow movie IMO, ending predictable.

      Django Unchained. Glad I saw it in cinemas and not on a PC.

    • baybeans on 19/02/2013 - 17:52

      Maybe it's the OzB blood running through me - If I am paying, I want it to use every inch of that screen. I guess action vs comedy is where it's at for me.

  • cooni on 19/02/2013 - 16:44

    Just don't bother with Zero Dark Thirty.
    Nearly all the others are great

    • baybeans on 19/02/2013 - 16:46

      Nearly? that's what I'm afraid of.

      ** SOPILER ALERT **
      If the highlight of the movie for you was the last 15 mins, you didnt get the movie.
      I think it highlights the different level on which war is conducted:
      With intellicence and interrogations with a commando strike versus random suicide missions.
      The movie does not go into what is right or wrong.

    • Lord Fart Bucket on 19/02/2013 - 17:50

      Really? Silver linings playbook bored the crapload out of me.

    OzB Protip #1
    1255 minutes, or nearly 21hrs of cinema viewing for $90.

    OzB Protip #2
    Rental of a velour cinema chair, while watching Django is only 6.06c/minute (best value of the 9 movies based on time).

    Watch a movie or fly to the Gold Coast. Hmmm.

  • theguyrules on 19/02/2013 - 17:11

    Please for the love of GOD don't see Movie 43.

    I saw Zero Dark Thirty last night, it was ok, but really slow for the most part.

  • DEvok on 19/02/2013 - 17:25

    But movie 43 has Hugh jackman!!!

    • theguyrules on 19/02/2013 - 17:34

      In the most humiliating and unfunny scene he has ever been in.

      Five finger discounts are not bargains since STEALING is illegal. Piracy = intellectual property theft.

        For all the people who voted down on this comment, I guess you should also vote down on every other bargain since paying for a product = no bargain when it can be had for free; just shoplift.

      Until I can afford a 20 metre screen at home, this still counts as a bargain ;)

  • rilebags on 19/02/2013 - 17:47

    Is this an online purchase only?

    • crazyj on 19/02/2013 - 19:24

      It says 'when buying online' in the text, but I'd love to know if someone gets it over the counter.

    Life of Pi: boy in a boat with a tiger.
    Rated: PG (Mild Survival Themes)

    lol

  • stickyfingers on 19/02/2013 - 18:12

    $10 is still way to much… That's like normal cost I thought :L

    • scrimshaw on 19/02/2013 - 19:12

      Most cinemas actually make money selling beverages and snacks, not by selling tickets. That's the main reason why the inflate the pricing on food and drink.

      Goes to say how little they actually make by selling only tickets, and at $10 they may actually incur a net loss depending on the sales volume.

        I 'won' a 2 for 1 movie voucher for Event cinemas through the McDonalds monopoly promotion.

        Two tickets (for me and my gal, any day, any time @ Brisbane Myer Centre) is $13. The 2 for 1 voucher will cost me $20.70 for two tickets!

        PFFFFFFFT.

          That's pretty awesome. I used to be able to get I think $9 or so tickets at the Bris Myer Center, but can't anymore. So now we just go to South Bank.

      How do you get student ticket for so cheap?

      • JordanM on 19/02/2013 - 21:33

        I get the same deal, Brisbane Myer centre and Indooroopilly offer $6.50 tickets for Cinebuzz Student Members everyday.

  • infinite on 19/02/2013 - 21:21

    Jesus Christ, half these movies have been available to buy on DVD for months now? How far behind are Aussie cinemas these days?

    • gilbarc on 19/02/2013 - 21:47

      This is pretty typical for awards season. They release these type of movies in the US late in the previous year so they're fresh in voter's minds, then once they're nominated, release them everywhere else to capitalise on Oscars buzz.

    • theguyrules on 19/02/2013 - 23:23

      Yeah, I watched a bluray copy of Cloud Atlas last night, a movie that isn't out in cinemas til mid March.

    • MITM on 20/02/2013 - 20:32

      A Jesus Christ movie winning an Oscar - that'd be in the lap of the gods.

  • Pinchy on 20/02/2013 - 02:18

    Not that cheap.. My local Event Cinemas has adult tickets for $8.50 all week anytime.

    • tonyl on 20/02/2013 - 03:56

      Lucky you, its more like $19 here, and $15 or so concession

      • Pinchy on 20/02/2013 - 16:54

        Yeah fair enough, didn't realised it varied by that much considering they are all Event Cinemas.

        George St Sydney is like $23 per ticket…

  • WD TV andSOUND on 20/02/2013 - 15:28

    You know that in Australia Apple and alike double the price of what is offered in the US. And the Australian Government is going to try to take them to the cleaners, but as usual they are a toothless tiger.
    Australian companies selling in to Australia are cleaning up on the sales profits from Australia with the high Aussie dollar!!!
