I have never felt compelled to write a review about a multiplex cinema before, I generally find you get exactly what you expect. However here this is not the case, initially I was frustrated that there is no on site parking, there is no ticket booth (bit of an issue if you want to encourage people to buy tickets), nor are there any signs up to inform you of any prices or deals on confectionery. I asked and they do combo deals but since there were no prices I'm not sure if I came out with a cheaper deal or not. All this is merely an inconvenience and doesn't ultimately ruin a cinema experience, what makes the experience is the film, if you can in fact hear it that is. For the 120 minutes I attempted to watch Keira Knightly pout her way through another corseted number (don't judge me), all I could hear was the dramatic music and explosions of the next door action film. Screens that aren't sound proof, bit of a big problem... must be improved! read more

A fairly modern cinema with several screens and a few licensed screens where you can consume alcohol whilst watching a movie, provided the film is an 18 certificate. Tickets are not cheap, and food and drink is very highly priced so try to sneak your own in ;) Seats are comfy enough and I have never personally found the volume to be too low, picture is clear and the 3D movies are great. There is no on site parking, but paid car parks and street parking is close by. All in all a good cinema experience read more

Great cinema, with good screens, my opinion is that it is expensive and I would use it more if there were better deals for frequent users like a loyalty card idea or reasonably priced yearly pass. Last time I went none of the films advertised were being shown and the ones that were had no info about them, when asking the staff why this was or what they were about they said they did not know why or have any idea what the films were about? Not good, as I went home to watch a dvd instead! read more

Apollo Cinemas - Cinema Near Me - Paignton, TOB

See all

Firstly please do not be put off by the absolutely ridiculous post by Charlotte O. Some people just like to whinge and don't ever think before they type. Agreed there is no on site parking, but that is because the Cinema is on the sea front of a small coastal town. Obviously land is at a premium and there is NO ROOM for a cinema and car park. Not to mention that a car park would ruin more of the sea front and take land away from the green that has a play park and hold the fun fair for the regatta during the Summer months. It's not a problem anyway as you can park right along the sea front in winter months and have a massive 30 second trek to the cinema. If not you can park in the bays in the town or at the towns multi-storey car park that is all of a TWO MINUTE walk away. Secondly, there are HUGE signs above each till showing what combo offers are available for the food and drinks. So yet again another unfair and unreasonable whinge. Thirdly, there is no booth. Agreed. But to be fair I don't know many modern cinemas with booths anymore. There are at least 6 tills that all serve food, drinks and tickets. Obviously in modern cinemas you buy tickets and food together, making booths a thing of the past. There are also ticket machines for pre-paid online tickets, so yet another moan that doesn't make sense. I would strongly recommend that Charlotte O would in future think before she speaks/types and would be less compelled to write reviews in the future. I would also suggest having a look around before making ludicrous and baseless criticisms. The cinema is fine, what you would expect from a modern cinema. Having visited countless times since it was opened, I can honestly say I've never had a problem with the sound/picture or anything. The staff are always polite and the screens and seats are fine. The only complaint I would find is that there is no directors style seats for a higher price that you find in the really big cinemas. read more

Lovely cinema,15 screens of different films shown at any one time :) reasonably priced,you can take drinks into the cinema and popcorn as well,seats uncomfortable as I had to keep wriggling to get comfy but it is a lovely place to go and see a movie :) 10/10 read more

Modern multiplex with great facilities. The bar is comfortable and you can have anything from popcorn to a nice cup of coffee. They don't mind if you take your own sweets which is a real money saver if you are taking the children. The staff are friendly and helpful. They wear smart blue shirts and name badges so you know who you are talking to. The toilet facilities are excellent, they have always been clean with plenty of toilet paper, towels and soap, when I have visited. There is a lift to the screens that aren't on the ground floor so access is possible for the disabled. read more

Massive cinema with lots of screens.great choice of films.director screens,bar,food area and lots of toilets.great at weekend for kids as £2 film showings. read more

A good cinema offering 8 screens. The saturday morning kids films offer good value for money but the films tend to be a little older. The seats are flip up sits which can de difficult for younger children to sit confortabley in. Orange Wednesdays get very busy but this is nationwide not just here. This cinema is ok but I tend to visit the Vue in Plymouth as it offers a better film experience. read more

Great Cinema, plenty of choice and clean and friendly, The down sides to this cinema is that they do not list a direct phone number and you only call an automated service which is very annoying and expensive if you use a mobile phone and if you pay by any type of card they charge 50p per transaction which is in its self a complete rip off as it never costs them 50 pence to accept the card. We recently went to see Toy story 3 and there was two adults and one child, we paid using a card on a saturday ( prime Time) and it cost us £28 with 3 pairs of 3D glasses at £1 each so we wont be going again for a very long time as that was just far too expensive to watch a film with a family and perhaps Apollo should realise that we are in Devon and salaries are not great and perhaps they need to ask there own staff if they had to pay would they go to the pictures at £8.60 a ticket plus nibbles and a drink i am surprised they are still in business read more

A great cinema with comfy seating and great films to boot

8 screens, large and modern cinema, adults only screen, cheap shows for families. Gets very busy on Wednesdays when people use their 2-for-1 offers with Orange. Always up-to-date movies. Cheap children shows on Saturdays and Sundays with £2 a ticket. Situated at the seafront, easy to find and you can have a walk on the beach after the movie. read more
