A pleasant modern Cineworld. Relatively comfy seating, lots of choice of movies 2D, 3D & IMAX. Plenty of Parking located conveniently just off the motorway in the local XScape complex. Although Cineworld as a company have let themselves down big time lately by removing the online booking incentive and instating seat reservations over their former option of free seating that almost all customers and staff loved. The staff here go out of their way to help and get you into the movie in an area you want to be. They have a well stocked if the usual over priced concession area although this is made better if you have a Premium unlimited card. If only Cineworld as a company would listen to their customers and fix the problems they have created. read more

Good size, fairly easy to get to with vast parking and a train station near by - Glasshoughton. Plenty of restaurants and bars nearby while you wait for friends or after the film. A few of them do 2 4 1 or half price with a cinema ticket on Wednesdays so a real bargain if you have orange. The screen sizes are all pretty good and its always been clean when I have been. read more

This review isn't negative about xscape, just negative about Cineworld in general. I'm a ultimate we reward card holder and I think the service and Cineworld app is terrible. I tried booking a movie through the app a few weeks back and it kept crashing, no information as to why. I phoned Cineworld and after 20 minutes on the phone it just hung up, I tried emailing and didn't get a response. After 3 hours trying on the net I managed to book my tickets, no apology, no feedback. I then went to see a special preview of dawn of the planet of the apes, the film was supposed to start at 6, the film started at 6 which was fantastic and the cinema was full, because people arrived late they got twenty minutes into the film and restarted it, about 30 people left the cinema, again no apology. Today I tried booking to see Imax which is an additional £5 charge on top of my £16 a month, again after the app didn't work for an hour, again I phoned and was told that they couldn't take any booking over the phone and to just turn up, baring in mind I had to take a bus, just turning up to see a blockbuster film isn't a great idea. I tried contacting Cineworld in Twitter and via email and again no response. Baring in mind it's all selective seating I didn't want to risk taking the bus and then been sat at the front because it's full. Cineworld customer service is terrible. Shame other cinemas are not closer by read more

Cineworld Cinema complex is situated up stairs in the Xscape building on Colorado Way, Castleford. There is a really large free car park on the site with ample Mother and toddler and disabled parking. The Xscape building is dedicated to leisure from the cinema to skiing, bowling and fashion and sporting wearand that's not even mentioning the places to eat! The cinema has been opened 5 years now, and recently celebrated their 5th birthday. I took my children to the Saturday cinema that day and we were all given movie goody bags, which were really good and very generous. Like most cinemas there are multiple screens, the seats are standard although you can upgrade and go posh upstairs where you will find the bar. They serve pop corn, snacks and drinks and like most cinemas overcharge for them! But i have to admit what i really like about Cineworld is the amount of film with subtitles unlike others and the Saturday cinema which we take full advantage of most weeks. When the new children's films are released it only takes about 8 weeks, sometimes less for them to hit Saturday cinema. There are usually 3 Saturday cinema films so its really unusual not to get seats for one of them. The staff are friendly too! read more

Cineworld Castleford - Cinema Near Me - Castleford, XWY

This cinema is part of the Xscape complex in Castleford, which houses loads of different activities. The cinema has multiple screens, so you get a good range. The cinema screens are well-sized and the chairs are pretty comfortable. As with all these big cinemas the snacks are overpriced and oversized, so a small popcorn is enormous and only slightly cheaper than the large. Unnecessary, I think, as i do like to have something to snack on, but don't need giant-sized products. It's a good place to go to the cinema, though, as you can easily make an evening of it and visit one of the restaurants in the complex read more

The cinema is pretty good overall but the Imax is a let down. To me the small Imax screen looks like any other cinema screen, nothing spectacular. Although the sound is superb. I have seen Imax at bigger/real screens and this one comes nowhere. Its a con. If you want to experience real Imax, look elsewhere. read more

Service at this cinema is good especially as it is located near a bus stop and you can easily get to it without much hassle if u live locally. read more

Cineworld has the right idea, the knock money off for onlinr bookings and you can sit where you want, unlike those faschists at the Vue who make you sit in pre-allocated seats, usually next to some idiot who spends £8 to sit and play with their phone, they usuall stop tho when asked or accidentally elbowed read more

The cinema is conveniently located on the first floor of the Xscape complex just off Junction 32. There are the usual cheap Tuesdays and Kids' films on the Saturday morning. They have the newest films displayed on their 14 screen cinema with free parking which is quite useful if you want to take the kids out. Prices: Adults: £6.30 Adults Before 5pm (Mon, Weds, Fri only): £5.30 NUS/SNR: £4.70 Child (14 and under): £4.90 VIP Seats: £8.50 In the VIP area, you have your own private bar service, and sound systen which you control. Great for birthday parties. Afterwards you can catch a bite to eat in the many restaurants Xscape have to offer including Nandos, Ask, burger King, MA Potters, the newly opened subway as well as McDonald's, KFC and Pizza hut just a short walk away. read more

We like this cinema, part of the Xscape complex, so plenty of places for a drink or a meal too. We especially like the Kids Club on Saturday mornings, £1 a ticket & a choice of 4 different family movies. Popcorn & drinks expensive as you expect from a cinema. read more

This isn't our closest multiplex, but it's the one we go to more often because of the other entertainment on offer at the complex. CineWorld Castleford is part of the Xscape complex which offers indoor ski-ing and ice skating as well as a wealth of good dining options. This is a great place for dinner and a movie. We love Chiquitos and Frankie and Bennies, but often we'll just grab a Starbucks coffee (which the staff always let us take into the cinema, despite the rule that says you can only take in Cineworld food and drink) Plus, the management is very helpful - they once misadvertised a film that we'd gone to see, but wasn't on. Instead they offered us a free screening of any film plus a voucher to see our film for free when it was finally screened. read more

I went to the cinema (cineworld) on my recent visit to xscape. Nice big cinema, it wasn't very busy which was nice. Prices were reasonable. It;s a bit far away so I wouldn't go unless I happened to be at Xscape anyway. read more

I went to see the new Mama Mia last night in Screen 11 - new seats - look lovely and plenty of leg room BUT the seats tip back (if you are tall enough) and have a cushion at the head which forces your head forward and is most uncomfortable. I ended up with a terrible pain in my neck, my friend who isn't as tall as me but by no means very small couldn't lean back and have her feet on the floor which is quite uncomfortable. I was told when I complained to management that these seats are to be fitted in all the screens which will mean I will either have to take a cushion with me or find another cinema with better seating somewhere else as I cannot spend nearly 2 hours in such a position by choice. I would have thought that new should have been better but obviously these have not been tested in all shapes and sizes of people. read more

Cineworld itself is always good / clean . New website is terrible real pain booking online ( sept 2015 ) and prices of sweets / drinks etc typical to all cinemas is a massive rip off! read more

Acted extremely unprofessional and the manager/worker was very ignorant and rude. Tried humiliating me and my friends in front of a crowd and acted very unprofessional. Will definitely not be coming here again! read more

Cineworld in Castleford is actually part of the Xscape complex which comprises shops, restaurants, an indoor ski slope and a bowling alley and amusement arcade. The cinema is upstairs up an escalator but there is a lift if you need one. It has plenty of choice in terms of movies and has all the regular amenities you would expect of the cinema, with clean loos, a snack bar and a small amusement area. The only issue for me is the price, it is no longer a cheap night out anymore and for even a couple going to the cinema, you could actually buy two DVDs! Yes, it's now £13 for two people, minus any food or drink. Shocking. A rare treat. One good thing is parking is free. read more
