Advantages: Everything!

Disadvantages: Bit expensive

The cinema at vue is really nice in comparison to the old one in the town centre. I think it has 13 or 14 screenings and unless its a brand new movie you can always find seats next to each other.

The car parking can be a bit of a problem (especially on orange wednesday) as it is often hard to find a space. There is also a JJB gym next to the cinema which shares the carpark (kind of) therefore a lot of the gym goers go onto the car park as well. I often find myself parking on the trainstation car park at the back of vue, this only really happens on a Wednesday though.


The cinema staff are relatively helpful, they can recommend films that are on or coming out. The price of the food is really expensive as is most places, however they do do some meal deals, even if these are expensive too. The cinema has the orange wednesday deals, therefore you can get buy one get one free tickets on a wednesday which is really good!

The screenings themselves are fairly big with huge screens. Some security men come into the screening sometimes to check that the kids arn't messing around, and if they are they get thrown out. I did have a couple of lads chucking stuff at me throughout a movie and they got removed. There is hardly ever any problems though.

One criticism of the cinema is that it doesn't have the "family" feel that the old cinema did. I don't know if it was because it was in an old building but the old cinema felt so much more friendly and cosy, it was a real "day trip out" experience, where as now I only really go to the cinema at night.
All in all it is a better cinema as it is much bigger and even has a bowling complex. It is a bit expensive but its fun for all ages.

Summary: awesome new cinema
