I am privileged to have lived in Semaphore and for the last 2 decades enjoyed very memorable movies in a wonderfully unique building that arguably is an important part of the history of our district. I cannot praise the efforts of the owners and staff of this grand old picture theatre for their untiring efforts to keep this important icon running. Highly recommended for your support and patronage....

Such a wonderfully preserved theatre. It first opened in 1920 - a tangible piece of history from 100+ years ago. New releases, and classics showing. Candy Bar is excellent, with choc-top ices, popcorn and a wide variety of alcoholic drinks available. Seats are modern and comfortable. Spacious cinema. Excellent location with parking outside and near to dining options.

Excellent value in a world slowly succumbing to greed - both ticket price and the candy bar make for an affordable experience. The cinema screens are modest but fair quality and more than enough to enjoy a movie. Ocean has a great team behind it that embraces fun and has good taste in classics for throwback nights.

Do you enjoy watching movies at the cinema for $12? How about reasonable priced combos? Choc tops that are full of ice-cream and not tiny? Do you like watching new movies and also older ones at the cinema? Do you like having staff who are friendly and clean theatres/toilets? Well look no further! The Odeon Star is the best cinema in Adelaide. It's still family run and Australian owned.

Love the classic look. The cheapest movie ticket prices, 3 cinemas running, decent sized. The seats aren’t the most comfortable but it does have a little recliner function. Sound isn’t the greatest but still experience the dramatic theme songs well. If you’re looking for no thrill cheap deal movies, this it the Place to Be!
