1 / 3Cineplex South Bank
📍 South Brisbane, QLD
Affordable cinema in South Bank featuring laser projection and Cinema 5 — Queensland's largest screen, the former IMAX — plus a snack bar and validated free parking for movie-goers.
Brilliant theatre, central to Southbank. Cheap as chips tickets (really- eg $12 for an adult) including the snack bar. Free parking if you see a movie. Cinema 5 is the old IMAX screen so it is the largest in all of QLD. 5 stars.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who prioritise savings and a big-screen experience over premium amenities. Cinema 5's screen size is a genuine differentiator for blockbuster releases. Families who need clean, well-maintained spaces may find the ageing facilities a drawback. The South Bank location makes it easy to pair with nearby attractions before or after.

“In an era when ut seems that prices are stratospheric, it is good to know that there are still places you can take your family for an outing that will not break the bank. Consider Cineplexx South Bank for your next movie outing. Is the theater new? No. The seats are not plush and some of the surfaces are worn. For a big guy like me, there weren't even that comfortable. But for a $10 ticket plus free parking (4 hours), my minor discomfort was not a huge ask. Additionally, we were able to get a large popcorn and two extra large drinks for only $15! And did I mention the ginormous screen? That is worth two huge thumbs up in my book. You can avoid the rush by purchasing your tickets on line and retrieve them at one of several kiosks when you arrive at the theater. If you catch an early show, there are tons of restaurants and other attractions available at South Bank to entertain your crew or to satisfy your cravings. Catching a flick and saving dough is an awesome combination!”
