Vue Cinema (Bristol) Reviews

Newest Review: ... seats and flooring are still in good nick so it appears that they do maintain / occasionally refurbish it; Cribbs Causeway is effectively inaccessible to anyone who doesn't have access to a car so that tends to weed out the weirdo-element you often find with city-centre cinemas, and with a 12 screen (and I see from the very useful website) 2600-odd seat capacity it almost never gets crowded or full up.
