The seats are comfy, and raised so you are not stuck with someones big head filling the screen! It's not cheap but no more expensive than the Odeon and there are other smaller screens, at cheaper prices if you're not that bothered, and size doesn't matter to you.... You can pre book seats which I love and the selection of snacks is good, love their popcorn! Worth a trip up from Belfast in my opinion, and it was extra special seeing Star Wars on the big screen!

Crazy Tuesdays are the best times to visit this cinema as the ticket prices are half price down from €8.00 to €4.00 or if your travelling from across the border in the UK the cinema will give the price in £ sterling in which case the ticket prices are down from £6.60 to £3.30 bearing in mind that you are also given a choice to pay in either € or £. I buy the Half Moon Combo for €5.00 or UK£4.30. The staff are very friendly and I have no problems except one. The popcorn may occasionally have just a few hard nuts inside so watch out and chew carefully otherwise you will crack a tooth but this cinema is otherwise a great place to visit. The Eclipse Cinema app can be downloaded from your devices app store. Might I add that the app is pretty handy to use as well and that I have no problems when using the app just to research movie times.

It was a grim wet Tuesday night when we decided to go to see the film Belfast. It was Mr Branagh's…read morerecollections of his 9 year old self in said city in 1969/70. If he says so - I couldn't determine any real Belfast accents nor much of the cynical humour Belfastians are known for. I do wish I was as thin (well maybe not that thin) as the script but the cinema photography was superb as was the sound. It's a bug bear of mine too when the use English actors to play Irish roles when we have enough home grown talent but I expect Mr Branagh has his circle of luvvies. The pleasant cinema staff told us to wait a tad as cinema 7 was being covid cleaned. The cinema was cosy warm and not at all busy. As the Omniplex group rip us off with outrageous prices for ice cream, popcorn, sweets and drinks we brought our own supplies. It was £17 for two to indulge Mr Branagh and to satisfy our curiosity at this Oscar nominated work and for that we got a very comfortable reclining chair in which we lay well toward horizontal in a warm dark comfy theatre. The experience is worth it for the seating alone.

It's been completely refurbished and has reopened in December 2017 after being closed since 2013…read more It now has two screens, one of which has been designed to look exactly as it used to, with "the wee houses" left untouched and the ceiling has been painted as a sky with clouds. It also seats 190 people. The other screen has been designed to be more modern with blue and red strip lights on the walls and turquoise seats. It's much smaller than screen 1 as it only seats 50 people, but makes it much cosier to sit in. It's also open every day of the year (apart from Christmas Day) from about midday until about 9pm, showing films all day long. There's also a cafe now where you can purchase hot drinks such as lattes, cappuccinos, special hot chocolates (Nutella, Jaffa Cake, Oreo, Gingerbread and many more!) cold drinks such as bottles and cans of juice, iced coffees and also alcoholic beverages! There's a wide variety of snacks and baking, and of course, popcorn. There's also bagels to purchase between 12pm and 4pm, many different fillings like smoked salmon and cream cheese, ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly. A lot of the food and alcoholic beverages are sourced locally, like the Kinryre Gin and Gigha ice cream. All food and drink that's sold in the Picture House can be taken into the auditoriums as well. There's also a nice timeline and heritage exhibition about the history of the building from right when it was built in 1913 to when it reopened in 2017.

It's a shame that films are too short these days to have an interval. I did see Titanic in this cinema and they did have an interval where they served ice cream.

Now he wasn't going to tell us for fear we would give something away! So a few days before Saturday, the secret was revealed- he'd hired a private cinema in Comber and invited Clara's family and closest friends! Brilliant! The venue is Execelsior cinema which is located at 29 Ballynichol Road, Comber, BT23 5NW. It holds up to 30 people and shows whatever film you like! Eoin had secretly sussed out what film she would like to watch over Christmas and she said "Edward Scissorhands"! So Edward it was! We all arrived early and set up our sweets, popcorn and drinks in anticipation of Clara's arrival. She was so shocked to discover us all sitting there in the cosy cinema, donning our best Christmas jumpers! The cinema is a class idea for a special occasion because it really is such a private venue for family and friends. I'm already trying to think of an occasion to get hiring it again!

I wanted to do something slightly different for my partner's birthday. One of my friends had taken…read moreher partner here a while back and posted it on Facebook, otherwise I'd never have heard of them, I thought it was a great idea. One of my partner's favourite films is The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and he'd mentioned how he would love to see it again on the big screen, so this was the obvious choice. They don't have a massive web presence, but I found the telephone number online and rang to speak to Roy, the proprietor, and we got booked in. We arrived on Saturday night and saw the cinema for the first time. Roy had taken the time to spell out Happy Birthday Craig on the billboard which added a fantastic personal touch. He invited us inside and showed us around. The cinema was done up in a 1950's style and looked unreal! There were lots of old movie pictures and figurines inside. The cinema seats up to 30 people - the seating is the traditional cinema style 'flip up seats, which were really comfortable. There is also a bathroom inside the cinema so you don't need to leave. Roy then started the movie and left us to enjoy it, there is a call bell in the foyer though if we had needed any assistance. You are allowed to bring in your own food and drink, including alcohol! All in all this was a fantastic experiece which I recommend far and wide!

The cinema is in a good location in town with lots of on street parking available, or if it's busy, there is a multi story car park to the rear. If you fancy making a night of it, there are lots of restaurants in the area too. The cinema itself is over two floors, with food kiosks on both, and a coffee bar on the first floor, in case you arrive super early for the film, like we always seem to! There is a good selection of food available: Nachos (My favourite) with lots of cheese sauce and salsa, hotdogs, ice-cream, bags of sweets, crisps, and pick-n-mix. The screens are spacious and the seats are comfortable, what more could you ask for!

There's local bars and restaurants you can grab a bite from before you catch a movie. Parking across the road (free after 9pm) - literally a 30 second walk from the door. Simple booking process - you can book tickets online and use the self service ticket machine, definitely do this at weekend and peak times as it will save you a lot of time queuing. Cheap - £6.50 per ticket with student and OAP discounts Cons; Unreserved seating which makes it a bit of a free for all and means you should turn up early of you want to get good seat. As mentioned queues let this place down - it may be due to its popularity but you need to make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before your screening time if you want to get snacks.
