I recently visited Vue Cinema Dublin, in Liffey valley- Dublin22, to watch a movie. Overall, the…read moreexperience was just okay. I booked the reclining seats, which are the most expensive, but was surprised to find that the second row from the screen was included in this category, it didn't feel like the best viewing position for such a high price of 14.99. Also the seat does only do a bare minimum recline For the price of the premium seats, I expected a much better experience.

Upsides: - They…read moreserve wine! And beer! - And you can pay for your tickets while you pay for your food, so no double queuing. - And they have little concession stands inside the screens when you walk in if you don't want to queue for food outside. Downsides: - It's a big horrible chain - It's really expensive So, there you have it, simples really!

Like the idea of a bar a few steps away from the 'silver screen'? Want a huge comfy seat to go with that popcorn? Step right up - get your tickets folks! This place gets two very enthusiastic thumbs up! There are about 20+ huge and incredibly comfortable seats in this private cinema. There's also popcorn and pelligrino to go with your ticket (or a cocktail if you prefer for a few euro more). And, the films shown are those cool classics of yesterday (like Dracula and Jaws)! You're even welcome to send recommendations to them for future films via Facebook! The cinema is in a great location too - steps from downtown Grafton Street! And, the hotel that holds this private gem is actually a nice spot to enjoy a pre- or post-film cocktail. (There's a comfortable lounge or you can grab a stool at the smaller bar which I prefer...) It's a cozy experience indeed. Get your prepaid tickets by calling or sending an email - and hurry as some films sell out...! See you at the movies!

I went to see Hocus Pocus here in October last year and loved this place!! It's definitely not your…read moreaverage cinema experience (no sticky floors here) and the seats were super comfortable! The popcorn was served in a little cute box and you could pick your own drink off the table. Staff were great and the hotel looks nice. If there was one thing for me to fault and I'm probably being picky but it's that the website doesn't seem up to date with the amount of tickets available. When I tried to buy mine it said there were 6 available but I was put on a waiting list. Other than that the experience overall was fantastic and I would definitely go back!

It's very standard Odeon cinema with the addition of bowling.

Since cinemas (this one is not an exception either) are pretty expensive considering what you paying for, you may hop over to the McDonald's or KFC just across the road and buy yourself some cheap snacks. For those with the car, know that outside parking is paid. You may use Supermarket's underground parking which is free for up to 2 hours. Or if you plan to stay longer than that and want to save a buck, then park at the McDonald's. Dislike one little thing that toilets are not on all screening floors.

Located off the M50 but parking from what I could see (or unable to see) on a dark Jan very poorly signposted. We found the underground carpark and parked up quickly - lots of spaces. Parking is free for 1st 3 hours. The cinema itself is typical Odeon however despite being new it lacked something and for sure it lacked some heating as the screen we sat in was cold. I will stick to where I know and give this cinema a miss in the future.

OK so, I havent been to this Cinema in a long time partially because it had turned into a bit of a…read moredive and also because it had closed down for renovations. We went to the Batman movie on Friday and I have to say one thing about the Square Cinema............ HALLELUJA!!!!!! THE BUTTER POPCORN IS BACK!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!! This was for years the last bastion of butter popcorndom until they realised everyone was wiping their hands on the seats and the cinema slowly rotted away. The one thing I have to take one star away is because they must have bought the seats in the same place as Ryanair. They are flip down seats with a gap in the back which you could fit a small dog through. Skinny people beware you might never be found again! Anyway; Its nice and new, its clean, the staff have obviously been trained to be courteous to customers (unlike the dopes you get in another Southside Cinema) and it is back to being an alternative cinema best of luck to them.

IMI gave it a complete make over and updated the screens to digital. It reopened in the early part of 2012 The decor and the lightning in the corridor area and the screening rooms is very impressive and modern which creates a very pleasant and nice ambience . Perfect for watching a good movie! The nicest I have seen in Dublin. The seats are very spacious and comfy . You get 5 hours free parking if you ask / give your parking ticket to the person who checks the ticket as you go in . The price is very reasonable 7 euro before 7 monday to friday. For students , its is 7 euro anytime and 5 euro every tuesday ! Myself and my friends were impressed with this cinematic experience! :)

It was a lovely little touch especially with all the gaggles of chicks hanging around waiting to see Jamie in the nip!!! The only thing that lets this place down is the ladies toilets!

I've been here a few times and each time, the staff have been really friendly. The screens themselves are a bit smaller so they're not overcrowded.

They have a cafe at the entrance which is pretty nice - I've met friends there without even going into the cinema itself. They mostly show arty, less commercial films here, so you won't always find every new release. They do tend to show lots of older films, which is very cool. I recently went to a showing of Back to the Future, which was of course awesome on the big screen. They also hold lots of different film events (Kubrick Season, Tarantino Season, etc), premieres, Q&As with Directors after screenings and so on. The screens themselves are good, the seats are plush and roomy, one or two of the rooms have multicoloured seats which are very cool! Another cool little feature is that the Light House has its own bar, and you are permitted to bring your drinks with you into the movie.
