Living in Cwmbran, whenever I wanted to catch a film in the cinema I'm pretty much limited to this…read moreoption unless I want to travel to further out of town. With that into consideration, I suppose I can't really complain about how convenient is. After all, it is in a fantastic location right in the Cwmbran Shopping Centre. However, there are negative bits. ~ Location: As mentioned before, the location is fantastic. It is just in the Cwmbran Shopping Centre, so it could make for a pretty full trip out. There's plenty of restaurants and shopping to do nearby, so when heading to the cinema, you can quite easily make a day of it. ~ Customer Service: I've had no problems with the customer service here. Everyone I've interacted with has been very friendly and welcoming. The main reason why I'm not a huge fan is purely because the size of the place is extremely lackluster. This cinema is very limited in terms of what films are shown and sometimes there would even be very popular films you are keen to see, but not shown at all so you have to head elsewhere. For instance, I wanted to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2, which you would think would be quite popular with kids especially, but Vue just completely neglected to have it on schedule. Instead, they opted for really obscure features such as random recordings of theatre performances. If you're planning to make a trip to the cinema with a specific film in mind, I highly recommend checking out the Vue website for Cwmbran specifically just to make sure it's showing. Otherwise, you might be in for a very disappointing surprise!

The big guns of the cinema world will be sitting up and taking note. It really is possible to have a night at the movies without spending a blooming fortune! Well done guys and gals.

I've been to Vue at Cribbs a fair few times over the years but it had been a while before I went…read moreagain on Saturday. 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.

The small and rather old-fashioned Westway Cinema stands in the same street as (now demolished) The Gaumont, the main cinema from the sixties era in this town. The films are usually pretty much up to the minute - even if not quite as fast as the bigger towns - well, we have a quieter pace of life around here! As for facilities, it's situated built into the Westway shopping precinct and just a few footsteps away from the central car park. There's showings every day, often twice a day, and as mentioned the titles are always popular, recently released films. Up the steep stairs (ask in advance about wheelchair access) there is a small foyer with ticket sales, sweet and soft drink sales - and a small bar. Yes, here you can sip a pint or two as you watch the action unfold on the screen. In homage to the olden days of cinema a small ice-cream kiosk opens between the adverts and the main feature for last-minute stock-up of drinks and nibbles. With concessions for children and OAPs and a perfectly pleasant and comfortable setting, this saves a small fortune (especially for families) on travelling to the more pricey cinemas in Bath. Well worth supporting your local cinema!

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.

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.
