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.

Cinema Paradiso is a real asset to Methven. Variety of movies at different times to suit anyone. I enjoy the intimate atmosphere and cosy feel especially in the smaller of the two cinemas.

We are very lucky to have this in Methven otherwise it is a 25 minute drive there and back to Ashburton and with the Dubliner next door for a wine and bowl of fries after the movie or pop into Aqua for some delicious Japanese food -who could want for more. Yes it is small but we love it and yes there is only one theatre but who cares
- it is all about the experience and we love it

We did the movie and pizza deal at the Dubliner next door. Richard could not have been more helpful, ringing the order through to minimise our wait time. He made sure we were all warm enough before starting the movie and it was a comfortable, intimate cinema. A lovely experience!

This fun boutique little cinema makes going to the movies even better. The decor and great selection of food and drinks really build the experience. The artwork on the walls are fantastic and the comfortable screen rooms make every trip a pleasure. A great selection of indie and mainstream films to suit anyones taste, especially mine, and I will certainly visit again.

The Cinema Paradiso is a fantastic little gem when you want to hide away and just chill out. The FX Lounge located in the cinema serves hot and cold beverages and treats to munch on. There's a selection of films from mainstream to indie and should be able to tickle anyone's fancy...I certainly enjoyed my time there and would definetly return even if just for a quick coffee.

Awesome little cinema - great picture and sound quality for a tiny cinema. Great range of movies on offer from an owner who obviously has a passion for a great cinema experience.

We saw a screening here during school holidays and they were super busy but very friendly. I definitely recommend stopping here for a big screen experience that's more intimate, the only downside was they had run out of popcorn :/
