Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went to a couple movies yesterday (1Feb)and were very impressed with the service of a young lady named Emma. Very articulate and professional. I just wish that the cinema would show more art-house films rather than sooo many of the mainstream or comic-book super hero genres. I used to drive about an hour from a suburb near Mossman to see an interesting movie but seldom bother any more

Wnt with a friend yesterday but it was so so uncomfortably hot. Their foyer and other areas outside theatre 3 were fine, but inside theatre 2, I doubt their air conditioning was on or if it was, it wasn't on high enough. The theatre may have been about a third ful so it wasn't that. Money saving by management means we won't be going back there, we'll o check out Cairns Central instead.

Really nice drink flavours!!! But the Spider-Man movie is shot. Had a bad ending. Literally the biggest cliffhanger ever. Also there are way too many little Spider-Man’s running around and it’s rlly confusing. However I do recommend this place for your weekly shop. The chicken they sell is grass fed and everything. Really competitive pricing too.

We went there for a 7:30 session movie on Saturday evening (Bohemian Rhapsody) - well worth the watch in cinema No.6 second large cinema in complex with great sound and big screen. First time visit since cinema has been built and it’s quiet a modern place. Great location, ease of parking. Friendly staff with plenty of cinema goodies for sale. Reasonable ticket prices. Good range of restaurants down stairs. Really nice seats where you can lean backwards a little bit for comfort with plenty of leg and space to neighbouring seats .Clean toilets.

I went to Smithfield Cinemas near Cairns to see a movie with my husband. Normally you can sit in the cinema with a comfortable temperature. This was not how it was today. There seemed to be no air conditioning at all. I was sweating by the start of the movie and my husband was even more uncomfortable. My husband spoke to one of the staff and he was advised that the air con was not working and they were getting it fixed. She was not very apologetic and quite dismissive to my husbands concerns. Possibly this cinema needs to get their act together and not allow people in a cinema that does not have air con. All I can say is, it was a very disappointing time. We live in Cairns which is a tropical experience, usually people in Cairns go indoors to enjoy the relief that you get from air con. Not so today.

I came here with my girlfriend to see the new Annabelle. We was very excited to see the movie. Unfortunatly one of the staff, i believe his name was Adam he approached us in a very aggresive manner and asked us to move a drink we had placed next to a bench and forgot about (even though the cinema was disgustingly filthy and obviously understaffed) i apologised and put it in the bin and he continued to give us a very foul look every time he walked past us. Not a very good experience in my eyes!
