What to do and see in Tasmania, Australia: The Best Movie Theaters

The Paragon Theatre opened on October 28, 1933 to a capacity crowd of 1150. After a chequered history which saw it gutted and repurposed as an indoor cricket stadium in 1985 before closing down for over a decade it then underwent a major restoration in the early 2000's. After being closed again for 3 years we bought the theatre in July 2017 and are continuing the restoration. During the warmer months you can enjoy dinner in the beautiful main hall before relaxing on a leather couch to watch an old classic movie, perhaps with a glass of wine/beer or one of our famous house-made whiskey choc-tops. If you don't have time for dinner and movie you can do a self-guided tour of the theatre, for a small fee, to learn about its history and just enjoy the space. Tours generally available all year round. We also have events throughout the season including musical concerts and plays so we hope you will join us in our quest to make The Paragon Theatre the entertainment hub of Western Tasmania.

The Star Theatre was a cinema in Launceston from 1937 until 1969. It is a fine example of late art-deco cinema architecture and we are lucky that it has been preserved. We had a vision to reopen The Star as a cinema that showcased quality films in a beatific Art Deco space. In addition it is a venue for the community of Launceston that can be used for a range of purposes including live music, comedy, conferences and special events. A bar and cafe offers fine Tasmanian food and beverages that can be enjoyed before, during or after the movie. The films we offer are an eclectic mix of old and new, from cult-classics to new independent releases, there is something for everyone. We are very excited to have brought The Star back to life!

Located in North Hobart, the State is a local independent cinema that has entertained generations of Tasmanians for over 100 years. In addition to eight cinema screens, we also have a boutique bookstore, cafe bar and rooftop cinema. Our cinema is licensed, so you can enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying a movie!

7D Cinema is a great place for kids and adults alike! We offer thrilling state of the art immersive rides and a great choice of 12 movies to choose from. You will be equipped with interactive 3D glasses and during the rides the entire simulator platform will move according to what you will see on the screen. At the same time, over seven different special effects will kick in to make your movie experience even more "real" and exhilarating. -Feel what you see!
