Showcase Cinema De Lux

On Wednesday, after looking at several cinemas in Leicester I decided to go to see The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus at the Showcase Cinema De Lux. The cinema is located near the High Cross Shopping centre in Leicester. It is near lots of yummy restaurants and I went for steak before going to see the film. The entrance to the cinema is a small foyer where you buy your tickets. There were three or four counters to buy tickets, as well as places to pick tickets up if you had pre-booked. I hadn't pre-booked and I showed up an hour before the film started to get the tickets before going for dinner. There was no queue and I was pleased to find the prices were the same as at ...  Read the complete review

The showcase cinema de lux has recently opened in Cabot Circus in Bristol and is one of the flagship "stores" right up on the top floor. The fully glass fronted cinema is always clean, tidy and well kept as is the inside. When you walk into the lobby the first thing that hits you is the space, it is really well laid out.

Compared to the other two cinemas in leicester: Odean and Vue, this is very high class and completely new to leicester. With elavators going up to the screens and down to back to the enterance, which i think is a great idea. Its very busy. I am currently an insider of the cinema, which allows you to get exclusive previews to new films and other such offers. The prices are good, pretty much like most cinemas. Also there is parking in the highcross carpark, which is not even a five minute walk away. Also in the cinema is a bar, i guess for before and after a film, i think its a nice idea i havent had a drink from there but it seems quite ...  Read the complete review

The Showcase Cinema De Lux has recently opened in the new Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol, and it's the creme de la creme of cinema going! Compared to the city centres other cinema, the Odeon, the Showcase is like visiting the Oscars!

And the popcorn and drinks are surprisingly good value for money in a cinema of ...  Read the complete review
