★★★★★Featured review by Darren Drummond

I went and saw Song Sung Blue last night. I highly recommend that you do yourself a favour and go enjoy this at the cinema and get the full experience and then I guarantee you'll watch it again, at home, on your streaming service when it comes available. How many times to you watch a movie on a streaming service and say, I knew we should have gone to the cinema to see this. Make it a day or night out for you and your partner. It's a movie about love and family. 2 singers that create something with their bond to music and love. I loved it !

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with children aged 5 and up who want comfortable seating in a modern multiplex format. The reclining chairs and legroom work particularly well for longer films.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Purchase tickets in person at the box office to avoid the per-ticket online booking surcharge
⏰Weeknight sessions are noticeably quieter than Saturday afternoon crowds
đŸŽŸī¸Arrive early — ads and trailers run around 15-18 minutes before the film begins
🚗Reclining seats have built-in tables for snacks — bring extra napkins for younger kids

“Watched Baz Luhrmann's concert movie EPiC at Reading's comfortable cinema hall. Was transported down memory lane and enjoyed every minute of this raw, honest view of the life of our beloved King. Glimpses of his sensitive, caring nature shine through his brilliant performances, all in his own words, nothing scripted. A must-see for all of us who longed to see him on stage, but never could, and for all generations because Elvis will never die in our hearts.”

“Good cinema, came here on a Friday night at around 6-6:30pm to watch Barbie. There was a lot of people and it was very busy. I found it was a really spacious cinema, relatively clean and had lots of leg space between the chairs which is such a plus especially if there are people behind you like kids who would kick the bag of your chair but in this case they are so far apart thats not possible. You also get an incline chair where you can put your feet outwards and rest and super comfortable. The table given layout is very nice you can lay out your snacks and drinks on it, so much easier than holding the snacks. The cinema screen itself is very big and quite good quality, we went to the cinema closest to the left of the entrance. Variety of popcorn sizes and food selection available. For $19 a ticket, thats quite a bargain as its a nice cinema and not too expensive as the facilities are better than other competitive cinemas for the same price. Would go back again if I ever want to watch a movie in the cinema.”

“A truly awful place to watch a film. Patrons often ruin the experience with poor social behaviour [talking, bickering with other patrons, using mobile phones during film screening) with no or ineffective "policing" from staff. Pricing seems be dynamic and increases on weekends [yet often cinema is empty]. Recently tried to book and despite choosing "purchase as guest" it reverted to a forced choice to join some membership. There was no way to move forward despite supposedly being given a choice to avoid joining. I gave up after 3 attempts. Lift your game Reading Cinema.”

Overview

The cinema runs multiple screens with reclining seats and tables for snacks. A cafe and kids corner section are on site. Group and cinema hire bookings are available. Saturday sessions draw large crowds — weeknight visits offer a noticeably calmer experience. An online booking fee applies per ticket; in-person purchase avoids the surcharge. Ads and trailers run for approximately 15-18 minutes before the scheduled start time.
