    Good multiplex cinema. We prefer it to middlebrook as it's better for parking.

    There is a bar upstairs and although that's not always on when it's quiet it can get busy on Friday or Saturday night.

    Go to Cineworld, a cinema for people who care for film goers…read more I bought some tickets with two voucher codes (which I bought through blue light card discount) but due to a booking error the order didn't process correctly... ..however they did claim the vouchers and when I tried to use them subsequently they said that they had already been used. When I tried to speak to customer services I was on the phone for 2 hours (after being cut off 5 times previously) and in the end I spoke to someone who was as helpful as a chocolate teapot, who could only offer me a complimentary voucher which I could only use when booking physically in the cinema. I am now faced with a situation where I need to drive to the cinema to book the tickets to then drive back on the day of the film. I tried to escalate to a manager but was informed that it wasn't an option. I've lodged a formal complaint..I'm expecting a complimentary cinema ticket as compensation. Absolutely useless cinema company.

    Incredibly expensive at £8.00 each if you're not going at the special rate times (such as Tuesday…read moremornings). The refreshments are HILARIOUSLY expensive (£10.95 for 2 normal sized fizzy drinks and a large popcorn? Bargain!). Luckily they don't mind you taking your own snacks in, or drinks from the nearby Starbucks. The place itself has gone continually downhill, from little things like removing benches and projection effects, to removing television screens, turning off lights, and now not even lighting up the main 'VUE' sign, or the signs above the toilets. For the money they charge, they should be giving us MORE not less! The toilets are almost always a disgrace too, not just in terms of cleanliness, but even structurally! A good thing about them though is that the staff are friendly enough, if not particularly interested in their jobs, and also this particular cinema occasionally screens special events such as live musicals, concerts etc.

    I've been neglecting Yelp... adulting is tough stuff. So we went to a movie ;) The cinema is…read morewithin a convenient walking distance for us, so we can usually make a spur-of-the-moment decision on whether or not to see a movie. The problem is that we haven't seen many movies of late that we were interested in seeing at the cinema. Maybe we are getting old or maybe the movies aren't really that great, so we have not been in awhile. We kept seeing commercials for 'Jurassic World' and of course everyone is posting on FB about it, so we decided it would make for a good Sunday afternoon activity. This Cineworld is huge with three floors, including an IMAX and 3D screens. They always seem to have a nice variety of options for children, as well as concerts and Bollywood films. We have had some problems trying to collect our tickets from the machines, but on this occasion the machines did work. Once you get through, there is the usual Pick-n-Mix stand, and of course popcorn and other sweets. However, they do have a Baskin Robbins counter with a nice selection of ice cream. On this occasion we stuck to popcorn, but I can say that the Brownie Sundae is wonderful! They do have combos, for example a medium drink and medium popcorn for £6.50. I know everyone has a whinge about prices at cinemas, but let's be honest, concessions is where they make their money, besides, I've never had my purse searched before... a candy bar from ASDA has made it in once or twice. Anyway, on the next floor up, there is a bar, although I don't know that I have ever seen it open. With as large as the place is, navigating it isn't too bad, but I'm not sure that there are other concession counters, so during peak hours, you may find yourself spending the previews in a queue. We have seen movies in 2D, 3D, and in the IMAX and all of the facilities are well maintained, it is clean (no sticky floors), and the seats are quite comfortable. I know on occasion, when Mr. Snarky has used the app to book tickets, sometimes the seating plan doesn't quite match what is actually there, so just be aware of that. If you are seeing a movie in 3D, you have the option to bring your own 3D glasses with you or purchase them on-site. Just make sure you have the right kind of 3D glasses because, apparently, not all 3D glasses are made the same?! We had purchased some the first time we went and we just use those whenever we go now. The other bonus is that there are multiple restaurants within walking distance of the cinema, so you can easily make a day/night of it. Parking is free and there is a lot of it! However, watch out if you are parking on the edges of the car park as people who frequent the McDonald's up the road like to dump their rubbish at the edges of the car park. If you are using public transport, buses do stop across the street from the cinema, but only at night, weekends, and bank holidays. And if you are walking, Waters Meeting Road has recently been resurfaced and some of the pavements have been redone and bushes cleared away so you can actually walk on the pavement. There is also a path from Crompton Way just on the left side of the gym next to the cinema, which also makes for a 20-minute walk from the train station. So quite easy access regardless of how you are making your way there. Overall, it is a great facility that has really been well maintained.

The staff are equipped with a knowledge of film and an enthusiasm for the art of cinema. I grab a couch, remove my footwear and use the cushions to get comfy. An alcohol-free G&T is discretely served to my seat-side table. Films are often personally announced just ahead of the Kaplinsky certificate and after the trailers. In Screen 1 the curtain draws and renounces and the lights go up, just at this moment, like the old days. My membership gets me a free supper for Throwback on Sundays (modern classics) and the lounge areas between the screens are worthy of experiencing for dining even if you're not up for a movie. Classic Modernist furnishings align to the Bauhaus movement / The International Style and serve to complement the building's architecture and history. Clean lines. Stylised neon. Decadent minimalism. Quality to detail. Lush textures. Red lights and mirrors. A relaxing atmosphere with wifi. There's a content partnership with AppleTV+ so you get exclusives, simultaneous releases and even opportunities to watch the pilot episode of a new small-screen series right here on the big one. The staff are professional, laid back and expedient. They have the sophistry to serve you when you require serving or leave you be if you want that. Jack stands out for his other-level Customer Service delivery which ALWAYS belies a genuine commitment to making your experience the very best. And I've worked in New York, New York so I know what first rate CS looks and feels like. There's a smart park with benches out back (there are two entrance/exits). St John's square is like Soho Square in the West End, London innterms of size and feel. I often sit there watching the footy on my phone or reading if I arrive early. It's peaceful and smart at this end of town. The Everyman smartphone app is the clincher. Book your seat, save to apple wallet, add to calendar for a reminder and often, as you leave the venue, it connects through to Apple Music and plays you the theme tune to what you just watched as you leave the building right into your airpods. Not bad! Check it out but don't tell everyone.

    I can't believe there's been a cinema this close to where I live and I'd never heard about it until…read morea friend got a Groupon deal. Cue three of us heading here on a clear (and ruddy freezing) February night to check it out. Now I'm certainly no expert of the subject, but I don't think the UK really took to drive in 'movie theatres' like our American cousins did - it's often too wet and chilly and most of us don't own a convertible. Anyway, Manchester has one! And it's supposedly been here for quite some time. After a few disconcerting minutes trying to find it amongst the distribution warehouses of Trafford Park, we spotted the queue of cars and then the gigantic screen. The process is pretty simple: you book online, show your reference number when you arrive, get told the FM frequency to tune your car radio in to, park up and enjoy the show. You're allowed to bring whatever food and drinks your heart desires (no alcohol for drivers, people). Your entry includes two small tubs of salted popcorn and two cans of soft drink - we divvied these between the three of us along with what can only be described as an E-number-filled buffet of depravity. If you fancy hot food, they'll even order a Domino's Pizza and hand deliver it to your car for you. It was refreshing to be able to enjoy the film, whilst being able to pass the odd comment or related factoid to your mates and make rustling noises opening packets without any fear of being shushed at. If the thought of sharing a cinema experience with *shudder* The General Public fills you with dread, then this is for you. Plus it cost us only £13 for the car, which is a barg compared to the multiplexes. Tip: keep your headlights off at all times as it's highly annoying to everyone else.

    The place is pretty easy to find - just look for the cars queuing to get in. The film started over…read more20mins late, maybe because it wasn't dark enough for the film to be visible on the screen. It was fun to watch the film and listen to the sound on the radio, but the seats of our car were not so comfy after an hour and we both fidgeted a lot. We'd go again, but to see a shorter film as we didn't get home until 1.30am!
