They charge extra for the MAXX screens but I don't know how long they will get away with it. The seats aren't that comfortable and at over 6 foot I find the leg room lousy. They aren't exactly coming down with customers at this place. The popcorn was, as usual, overpriced and the ice cream similarly rip off for a very small serving. We had a particular issue as we had left - over vouchers from a meal deal at the nearby Salt Kitchen which the cinema junior manager refused on instructions from above to refuse so I just paid up and returned to the restaurant two minutes away. Restaurant management were really apologetic to us and are dealing with it when it's not their fault - the fault is squarely on the cinema owners. This is not yet resolved as the restaurant owners did try to get in touch with a more senior manager but she is only back to work tomorrow so I'll update this after I hear back. My bottom line is that cinema management must honour the expired vouchers in our post covid world - they ain't exactly coming down with customers and they should join the dots.

It was a delightful watch in this charmless world mostly ruled by monsters as WW3 (which has started - economics/natural resources/trade wars) and we will go to see it again very soon. We'll stay north and save £2 each too. I read the view of one critic whose name I don't recall whose bitchy review I didn't recognise and at one point I wondered if we'd seen a different flick. The cinema was clean and fresh and a far cry of picture houses when I grew up full of dandruff, bits of chewing gum, rancid tobacco smells and brylcreem residue. The product was invented in Birmingham England in 1928 and for years was omnipresent around me among boys and men from I could work things out for myself. It and Old Spice. What a combo which I completely shunned. Old Spice was originally targetted at women. I digress so I'd expected our centre near to front armchair seats to push button recline but no. The place was packed and I was surprised to see a kit of young women but not many young men and of course no shortage of us disputably described as 'old'. This was a disappointment but the rain hammering on the roof a few times really marred enjoyment so there's no decent soundproofing: but I'm assured global warming is merely a figment of my imagination if that's wrong drill baby drill may become die baby die. The popcorn and other food offerings like every cinema I've been in are grotesquely overpriced so we brought our own. We enjoyed it but I do think I'll stay north of the border for movies in future.

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.

My daughter is autistic, and can't stand the sensation of popcorn, it sends her into a meltdown. There were 5 kids in total today on our trip including her, and they wanted the kiddie pack (popcorn, sweets, and a drink). She of course wanted the same as everyone else. I asked the girl behind the counter if could pay extra, could my daughter have a kiddie box, but with a few nachos instead? I was told no, there's no way, it has to be popcorn. I then asked could I buy a portion of nachos, and then maybe an empty kiddie box, so that I could quickly add them to it, so it looked like she had the same as the rest, again was told no, those boxes are counted, and they can't give them away. I explained I'm not asking for it to be free? I was willing to pay? Answer was still no. So with a queue forming behind me, my daughter on the verge of a meltdown, and myself very red faced thinking that people thought I was being a nuisance, then told the girl I'd pay for a full kiddie box, and a portion of nachos, and not to put too much popcorn in it, seeing I was literally walking away to empty in the bin. I finally got into the theatre, my daughter spotted what I had to do, and then refused to eat anything because the popcorn had 'touched' her box. What on earth is the mentality of some people behind the counters? I was willing to pay extra just to settle my daughter and let her think she was having the same as everyone else, why was this such a big deal for the staff? I don't think it was an unreasonable request? Needless to say her trip was ruined, the meltdown that started after she saw me switching popcorn to nachos left her unsettled and emotional through the movie. What should've been a pleasant afternoon turned into a nightmare for her. Yes from an outside perspective it was just a bit of popcorn, but for an autistic child with sensory issues, it was a big deal. I doubt I'll be back to this cinema, it's left me with a pretty negative view and I certainly won't be bringing my daughter back.

Now he wasn't going to tell us for fear we would give something away!

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!

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!
