Calling all 80s kids — your childhood is coming back to the big screen.

*Masters of the Universe* arrives at the Empire this Thursday, bringing a hefty dose of nostalgia, epic battles, and enough memories to transport you straight back to Saturday morning cartoons.

Whether you grew up with He-Man, Skeletor, and Castle Grayskull or you're introducing a new generation to Eternia, this is one adventure best experienced on the big screen.

👑 King's Birthday Hours 👑

Just a quick heads up for the long weekend!

On King's Birthday Monday, we'll be opening one hour later than usual, giving our team a chance for a slightly slower start to the public holiday.

The popcorn will still be popping, the coffee will still be flowing, and the movies will still be waiting for you 🍿☕

Thanks for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you over the long weekend!
