Advantages: Best Cinema By Far

Disadvantages: Food And Drink Is Very Expensive

Cineworld is my preferred choice of cinema, mainly due to my unlimited card but it's also got an awful lot of useful features and they try to combine the internet site and their cinema to make the experience as easy and hassle free as possible.

Before I had an unlimited cars and I used to pay each visit they used to go out of their way to keeps costs down which I found one major benefit. They partake in Orange Wednesdays, but at my local cinema in Bexleyheath, they also used to do a discount on a Tuesday where you could watch a film for about £4. I'm not sure if this is nationwide but it's a perfect example of how they try to keep their costs down for you.

Another benefit is booking is easy. I lost count of the number of times that I used to book in the morning in the day over the internet and then go along in the evening. Collecting the tickets is easy and you can either go to the box office, or insert the debit card that you paid with into the ticket machine and obtain them that way which reduces the queues.

Also, on the back of virtually every ticket I've ever had, there have been deals to get cheap food with the likes of Pizza Express and La Tasca. These are handy to save and use for the next night out meaning you can eat and see a film for a pretty good price.

The other main benefit is the waiting around times. When a film is due to start after another finishes, they really rush around and clean the screening room perfectly in a really quick time so that you're not waiting around outside with a bag of food in your hand, a drink in the other freezing it numb and an unhappy confused look on your face. This is one of my main bug bites and it's nice to see that they keep loitering around to a minimum.

And when you're in there, the screening is clean, has really comfortable chairs and plenty of leg room as well as a place to store your stuff. I really do feel when I've come out of there that they've really looked after you and tried their hardest to show you a good time.

I can't really fault it aside from one major thing. This is the price of consumables. Soft drinks, and especially the pick n' mix cost a fortune and although I appreciate this is where they make the main majority of their income, I do think it is substantially more expensive than other cinemas.

But overall though it's good and the one point aside, I think it's worth it every once in a while and probably the best cinema out there.

Summary: Very Good All Round
