​Geoff's Review
With a 2012 major upgrade completed (new entrance, new seating, new fixtures), the Metro re-occupies it place as "the only 100% locally owned and operated cinema left in Dunedin". Given that Dunedin is such a student town and the University of Otago teaches film (along with local schools), it is a little odd that there are not more cinemas of this kind in the city.

The Metro has been screening programmes of art house and 'cross-over' films and mainstream titles seven days a week since 1996. It was formerly linked to the Metro in Christchurch (which sadly is no more).
​

The Dunedin Metro is tucked away behind the Octagon. It shares a foyer entrance with the renovated Dunedin Town Hall and is well worth a short stroll up the hill.
