AMC Great Northern

Do you like the smell of sweat? If so, the foyer of this cinema is an explosion up your nose. Past that and things get better. Ignore the goths contaminating the arcade area then sweep as quickly as possible up the elevator and breathe again. From here on in everything is the way a cinema should be. Overexpensive snacks, plenty of screens and disdainful staff. Despite the size of this cinema, you may have trouble finding it for the first time, as the advertising is for it's entrance is almost non-existent. A couple of times i have been in the area and there have been people walking up and down, directly in front of the main building, with puzzled looks on their faces. ...  Read the complete review

I live in Manchester, and the AMC cinema just off Deansgate is my preferred cinema in the city centre for several reasons. It is located not far from the centre of Manchester, in a complex which also houses several restaurants and a casino.

The AMC is the newest addition for cinema goers in Manchester and we go there, oh, at least once a week because of the freebies (see later). It's a strange place because it's very open plan - the box office is in the middle of the concourse on the 1st floor (from where you can also access the Virgin Fitness centre and, in the future, several restaurants ...  Read the complete review

I recently wrote a review of the main cinemas in Manchester, the Filmworks, and promised that I would write an opinion on this cinema, much better in my opinion, as soon as dooyoo added it. Well, here it is. For those who don't know where it is, it's at the corner of Peter Street and Deansgate, in the Great Northern Warehouse. That's the big warehouse behing Bar 38 and the amphitheatre. It's supposed to be a huge shopping development, although there are no shops there yet, except the restaurant Persia. Perhaps this is why these cinemas are not promoting themselves, but I only discovered it becasue I pass by every day. They don't seem to ...  Read the complete review
