The main thing that attracted me to the Oceanarium was their latest attracted called the Virtual…read moreShark Cage but found out after I paid for tickets that it was not working, how dissapointing but we still enjoyed our trip out. The aquarium is a lot smaller than most other ones but they do have two large sea turtles and a few stingrays in their main tank. The size of the sharks in the main tank was a bit dissapointing but it did not spoil the whole experience. They did have another tank with a few mixtures of sharks which was quite interesting. I like the fact that they had a few other animals, not just animals you find in the sea to spice up the attraction. There was an interactive video unit that allows you to record yourself pledging not to do a few things to help save the environment.

They do special cinema nights, such as Ghostbusters on Halloween (genius) and an up-coming David Lynch night. Find out what's on by joining their Facebook group and also influence what films you want to see. They also have a lot of stand up comedy here - it has moved up to four nights a week. I have yet to go to one of these but the line ups are impressive. Let's hope the Jester's crowd don't find out about it.... Recently they also had a Playstation night with Pro Evo competition.

However, I go on an all too regular basis due to one fact: they run an 'Unlimited' scheme where you pay £13.50 a month which allows you to go as often as you want. This is very much a double-edged sword, as I often drag myself to see something I don't really fancy and get a pleasant surprise (Coco Before Chanel), but I also regularly convince myself to give something a go and it turns out to be utter shit (The Time Traveller's Wife). Still it's a bargain either way, though if you're not prepared for that kind of commitment, you may wish to know that Tuesday offers reduced entry all day, and Wednesday is, of course, an Orange affair.

You won't find anything alternative or off what would be widely regarded as mainstream. This one in Hengrove is particularly dodgy as firstly and foremost, it is in Hengrove and therefore frequented by local chavs who seem to go to the cinema purely to see how annoying they can be. And secondly, this one is in need of a makeover. I'm not entirely sure how long it has been here, but some of the screening rooms have dodgy sound and thread bare seats. If you can watch the film you want to see someplace else, then by all means do.

They are…read moreoften chosen when a film gets a limited release across the country (I saw the UK premiere of Loud Quiet Loud here, with a talk from the director beforehand). You get the chance to see more foreign releases here (I saw Thirst here the other week, definitely the only chance to see a Chan-wook film on screen), and they also are hosts of the short film and animation festivals. For every film there is an A4 sheet you can pick up in the corridor to the screens which has background information on the film and an interview with the filmmakers. Films are often only on for a week so keep an eye out for their monthly guides - free in the foyer or look online. They do also have the odd mainstream release but considering the small size of the screens you may prefer to go to a larger chain cinema for that (plus they don't do the Orange Wednesday offers here). The best thing about this cinema is that people who go here love films, and they know to shut the f. up during the film. A rare thing these days.

With the Arnolfini progressively showing less and less films, and the Cube's output sporadic and…read moreoffered up on archaic equipment, it's probably fair to say that the Watershed leads the way when it comes to local art house cinema. Indeed, such is their dominance that they've got three screens (practically a multiplex in this domain!). Their output varies from fairly well-known new releases, some of which may also get screened at the multiplexes, to truly baffling stuff that would leave even Mark Kermode slightly confused. It's a bit pricey - they obviously don't have Orange Wednesdays - though the flipside of this is that you get to watch your film with a respectful audience without the constant interruption of chatting and mobiles going off. One tip: it's worth booking in advance for bigger releases as this popular cinema often sells out in advance. Oh, and look out for quirky special events such as directors' Q&As and film festivals.

So when my friends wanted to check out the new Showcase Cinema in Cabot Circus I always cringed with defiance. I judged it was before my bum was in the seat or the ticket was in my hand. The overall experience (ticket, drink, obligatory sugary snack) will probably set you back around £15 - 20 which the scrooge in me really disapproved of. The cinema itself did have comfy seats, great sound and massive screen but at the end of the day it's just a trip to the cinema. If you're going to the movies, this cinema is probably your best bet in the city centre to watch mainstream blockbusters.

With that said, they've got more screens than the Odeon, which does bring a bit more choice, always a good thing, and food offerings include cheesy chips. So a chain place, but still bringing a few new things to Bristol. The 'de lux' tag seems to mean comfier seats, another good thing. I think the screens are bigger at Vue out at Cribbs Causway, so if you're the sort of person to take your cinema going experience seriously maybe make the trip out there. Their prices aren't too bad (you can pay as little as £5.50 if you're a student), and they've driven down the cost of the Odeon, Bristol's other city centre cinema. Slightly worrying that they tell you the staff will be surveying you with night vision goggles to combat piracy, but I can live with it.

I took my girls hot on the heels of our successful family day out the previous weekend to our local, single screen cinema. What a contrast! The entrance was fancy, the door to each screen had a great big number and star handle entrance. The screen was big and the seats were laid out well but that's as good as it got. The snacks area was deserted and having spent quite a few minutes looking for the prices of popcorn I reluctantly approached the counter to ask the price. Unsurprisingly the popcorn was very expensive but what bugged me was Vue's reluctance to clearly state what their prices were. The only thing across the top signs (like the ones you get in McDonalds) was their combo meal. Pointing this out to the member of staff who served me I was told it wasn't him who chose what goes up there. True but he could have passed on my feedback or at least act like he hasn't been told that a million times. There were two options of sizes of popcorn, 30p difference in cost between the two. So no one is going to choose the smaller size. What a choice you offer Vue. The price of the ticket was gobsmacking after my local cinema, especially for a Dad taking two young children. Going in, the cinema was empty, I would guess 10% full. Why not reduce tickets for children during the day for certain young children films. Get kids in to going to the cinema and then you can make money out of them later. Sell small children portion snacks and you'll make some of that money back. Oh and my seat was dirty. Even the VIP seats looked average compared to other places I've been. Well I won't be returning if I have a choice but I'm not turning my back on going to the cinema, there are cheaper and better options out there. Start thinking about your customer experience Vue because that's the difference between sitting at home, watching illegally downloaded films and going to the cinema.
