This cinema is the only/main tenant of the Point Village shopping centre, and so you'll have to climb a few empty floors to get there. On the very top floor you'll find the Odeon Cinemas as well as an adjacent Costa Café. There's also a small Ben & Jerry's ice cream stand, and that's it. This theatre has 6 screens and it's usually not too crowded, even during weekends. Midweek is the perfect time to go, as you can avail of 6€ tickets and also get free upgrades to the Premium Seats because the place won't be too busy - some people "upgrade" themselves by simply moving to those seats, but you can ask at the counter and avoid embarrassment if someone comes in with a ticket assigned to the seat you've taken. I prefer to buy the tickets online, because you can skip the queues and just use one of the machines dotted around the cinema to pick up the tickets. They also have a loyalty card, very useful if you go to Odeon cinemas frequently, it doesn't take long to get points to spend on free tickets and etc., plus you sometimes get special screenings or promotions. Staff is a-ok, but friendly enough. The crowd is mixed, I've been asked before if there's trouble with kids because of the neighbourhood, and except for the one time two young lads tried to sneak in without a ticket, I never watched another "incident" worth noting. Even though people tend to leave all their trash behind them on the seats, they manage to keep everything quite tidy all the time, which contributes to a nicer experience than in other cinemas. It's a very commercial cinema so expect to go weeks without a good film to watch. They tend to keep action blockbusters on for months and some other movies only for a week or two, so if you find something you want to watch here, don't postpone it too much. read more

Nice nice cinema the Odeon. The few Staff we met were nice to deal with. Even the clientele seemed to be good folk. Less rustling of wrappers and a lot less chatter during the movie than what I'm normally used to at other Dublin City cinemas. Leg room is excellent in the iSense screen. The deal caught my eye: parking, a meal at the hotel bar and a regular 2D show for 20 EUR. Not a bad deal. It remains to be seen if the meal is worth it. Also movies 6 EUR early in the week is a great deal. So many reasons to make the trip to the Odeon at the Point Village. I'm a fan. read more

You could mistaken for believing the Luas has dropped you at the end of the world on a dark Wednesday evening, for an inprompt trip to the flicks, when there is barely a soul in sight. The Odeon cinema in The point village clearly points to an optimistic boost in the economy, one that doesnt want to hop on the red line luas and come up this far yet. The cinema is situated in somewhat abandoned surroundings. You know those fake shop fronts with pictures of pharmacies and cafes with people laughing ecstatically buying cough medicine for their haribo headed children, in 2d plastered across the untouched glass shopfronts. There is a whole lot of empty space here. The cinema itself is grand to be honest, the staff came across as nice and pleasant. The seats are spacious, the sound is very good. The large popcorn is a little small, either that or im a large bit greedy. You can get butter on it, at your peril unless of course you have a decent Vhi or Aviva health insurance policy. They have a security guard in this unignited shopping centre at night time. Lucky for them or somebody could drag the below statue onto the luas and take it as far as Tallaght or Saggart for shits and giggles. Ive seen stranger things on the luas and considering its right outside the door nothing would surprise me! read more

Went on the opening night March 27th 2012, I thought it would be a great treat for the kids being the first ones into the opening of a new cinema. I expected a red carpet, fire eaters, Clowns, Papparazzi, freebies and goodies. I had bigged the place up to the kids (10 & 12yrs) letting my imagination of what an opening night in my eyes would consist of. I let them book it online using my credit card (a first for them I think they where more excited about getting to shop online) and told them to choose the movie and get the best seats in the house! They where really excited and booked to see the Hunger Games in the ISENSE theater. Tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids came to 36 euro. So we where all excited and because I drive a Luas it was free travel for all straight to the Cinema, (If you've never been its at the Luas Point stop opposite the O2, Next door to the Gibson Hotel, and facing Harrys Bar) As I've never grown up I was as giddy as the kids and expected to be greeted by a throng of Papparrazzi, whilst stopping for questions from radio, and TV, and rubbing shoulders with glitteriety. How disappointed I was to be greeted by a pimply teenage security guard in a new but un-ironed shirt, he was having a sneaky butt, and looked to be avoiding the CCTV, like he was a prisoner in Colditz. Wheres the red carpet? the kids queried excitedly........... yarr wha? replied the smoking shirt, red carpet?, nah theres nun of dat. The cinemas up da stares, if ya hurry ya can get a free coffee. Yes folks......opening night in one of the countries newest and hippest locations, with was is advertised as the largest screen in Ireland where giving out a voucher for a free cup of coffee. There was no red carpet, only a huge entrance you'd compare to a shopping mall, its big white and cold. There where a few posters advertising a pirate and scientist movie which we didn't take much notice of. Security pointed us to the top level. We could have taken the lift but Chloe has a phobia so we rode the several what seemed like never ending escalators until we reached the foyet. No great shakes here either folks, having taken the stairway to heaven we where disappointed on our arrival to find an average looking cinema foyet, just like all the rest we've come to expect form modern day cinemas. The kids had 10euro each pocket money burning a hole in their pockets and where instantly attracted to the pick'nmix.......off they ran whilst I used the latest technology to print off the tickets using the card they'd pre-booked with. This was cool as we didn't have to queue and it printed our ticket in about a minute. Over I strode to the kids whilst Lesley went into claim her free coffee from the franchised coffee store 'Costa Coffee'. The kids mindful that they would require drinks as well tried to calculate the cost by individual sweet, where as I just jumped in and quarter filled my bag with big fizzy cola bottles. There is also a 'Ben & Jerry's beside the pick'n'mix, where we had to pay by weight. Dannys came to 4.60 euro and Chloe 5.25 euro for what seemed a miniscule amount of sweets (more like 3 x 10p bags in old moneys worth) I was dreading weighing mine and my dread was well founded when the chirpy sales girl said 9.86euro. I could have baulked but as it was a treat I smiled and paid through clenched teeth. Just then Lesley arrived back from the 'coffee shop......."well say's I, did you get you free coffee", well kind of said Lesley It was either a black or white coffee with the voucher, and I wanted a latte, but i couldnt use the voucher for a latte so I had to pay 3.80euro. Then we had to queue for drinks, I was behind three teens and they where being served very slowly by a girl who couldn't work out the till so it was nearly 10 minutes before I was eventually served, three large slush puppies, and taco chips and cheese add another 20 euro to my nights cost. Ahh a photographer standing just outside the coffee shop taking photos........."here we go kids yis'll be on the front page of the metro herald tomorrow"..........not a chance. He was more interested in chatting up the ticket checker and didnt give us a second glance. I was disappointed for the kids having bigged them up as to what might be. We where shown towards a stairway leading to an open area that would seat about 12 people. The ISENSE theater itself was cool, huge screen, 52 speakers (I didn't count them I read it somewhere), the seats where big with plenty leg room and you can see the screen from all angles as thats the way modern cinema are designed, no having to sit in centre back to get the best view these days. Movie was worth seeing but not as good as the book i've been informed. I wont tell you the plot or ending. It wasn't the spectacular opening night I had anticipated. If you intend going for a date I recommend you eat before going, and if you've got kids or are on a budget bring your own goodies. Expensively disappointing ;-(( read more

First of all, the area of this place is first-class. Located in a very modern side of Dublin close to the Docklands, the area is clean and bright, right in front of the The point Luas station. Inside, the building is incredible and there is so much SPACE. Extremely high ceiling and open areas, you even feel like the cinema is only yours or that you are in a different world, far from crowds and noise - which is particularly interesting for people who like to enjoy a movie experience properly. On the very top floor, there is a Costa coffee shop, Ben and Jerry ice-cream and popcorn stands as usual. The toilets are new and wide with big mirrors and the seating is very comfortable; the screen is absolutely huge. There is a parking lot in the lower floor and there are some pretty nice deals, as for example odeon club card so the more you go there, the more points you get in a rewarding scheme and also, gift cards. From Monday to Thursday the ticket is 6euro, cheaper than in other places in town - for such a quality cinema - this also applies to every day for films showing before 1pm. I know there is a deal for cinema, parking and dinner for 2 people for a very affordable price also. Overall, great! Plus - I work right next to this cinema and I left my badge in a chair after the movie. In the next day my badge was taken to the reception of where I work! Very good "lost and found". read more

I really like this cinema. It's pretty empty and really clean. What more can I say? It also has isense...whatever that means? It's situated right behind the O2 and next to the Gibson hotel. 6 Euro tix on particular weekday nights. read more

Went to see a film in the massive screen here the other day. It's the biggest screen in Dublin besides the IMAX, and it really is quite something. Mahooosive. Only problem with that is that is that if you're right up the front, your eyes are gonna huuu-uurt. I like the fact that they give you seat allocations. And they have a Costa coffee shop in there which normally I wouldn't be into, but in a cinema situation, it's nice to have another option that's not nachos and popcorn. It's pricey enough again though - 13 euro-ish. If you have driven up there, make sure you get your ticket validated so you only have to pay 2 euro for parking, rather than the 8ish you could be hit with. read more

As we walked in I bumped straight into Clint Eastwood circa 1980, he said something unintelligible, spat in a conveniently located spittoon, lit a cigarette and wandered off into the sunset. Pretty soon the tumbleweed started blowing across our path... a lot of it, we were lost and alone... oh so very very alone.... Not a sinner in sight... no one... really, we were the only people for miles around. The Point Village is a sad, lonely and god forsaken place, forgotten about by EVERYONE. Buried in the middle of this nothingness is the Odeon Cinema... an oasis of entertainment in a sleek and modern setting, there are rarely queues, the snack bar is huge and plentiful and it is comfortable. Great cinema, worth the trip into the unknown! read more

I love going to the cinema but the new Odeon in the point village leaves a lot to be desired. I went to see the new James Bond film, Skyfall, just after it released but a small number of tills meant excessive queues. The staff still managed to give us a smile and crack a joke so kudos to them for doing a good job. The ticket prices are the most expensive in Dublin but the cinema does offer an iSense screen. This is a bit bigger in area, has better resolution and offers better sound than other cinemas. However, a bit of research reveals that films need to be shot in a certain way to take full advantage of the iSense technology, meaning that you maybe paying extra for very little difference. Screens are also divided into premium and non-premium seating. Premium seats are slightly comfier, occupy the rear half of the cinema and your seat number will be designated. However, without staff to show people to their seats the rear half of the cinema I was in looked more like musical chairs. The Odeon does offer up a Costa, a Ben and Gerry's counter and friendly staff, but it's just too expensive for an experience that has so many negatives. If you want to check it out for yourself I recommend their "Bargain Wednesday" when tickets are only 5 euro. Now that is a good deal! read more

I just have no idea why anyone would bother to put a cinema here... ok if it was 2006 and we still believed that the docklands would become some new trendy hip part of the city... but its 2012 and we know that the docklands are, well, docklands! Not only that but its just as expensive (possibly more so) than any other multi-plex cinema in the city, but at the same time, not near anywhere. So add on the cost of that luas ticket to your visit. And there's nowhere around to eat before or after except excessively priced Costa in the cinema. We didn't get to see the isense screen so maybe that's a wow that's worth it, but the other screens are not any better than any other cinema... and those premier seats - what a joke! The only bonus I can think about this cinema is if you want to avoid the crowds you can go here... although I'd guess that's not the intended purpose of a multiplex cinema. Just went here out of curiousity... not that that's sated I can't think of any reason why I'd bother to go again. Seriously who got a brown envelope for putting a cinema here? read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this newly opened cinema complex. It should die soon as Point Village is a god's forgotten place in Dublin. I was there twice. Not impressed. Prices are cheap, yes. Early time costs 6-7 euros. Advise: never buy premium seat tickets. Buy normal, get in there and sit in premium seat, because no one cares and mist likely there'll be just you and few other lost souls :-) Haven't tried ISENSE screen, but other smaller one was bad. Bad because main center speaker was so close behind the screen, that I could see ripples on the screen. Not good. Stupid thing was, if I recall correctly, if you order tickets online, you must pay up, where in Cineworld you get 10% off, just stupid marketing. Oh, pop corn portions are way much smaller than in Cineworld. Big bag of pop corn looked like regular in Cineworld. Aiks.. Good side to it is that Luas is right at the front door. read more

I LOVE this cinema..... It is spotless. There's no scumbags. It's comfortable. The staff are super friendly. The have a Costa. The popcorn is really nice and is FRESHLY POPPED IN FRONT OF YOU! [Rather than being shipped in in body bags like Cineworld's popcorn]. The 3-D in the iSense screen 1 is the best 3-D I have encountered. I usually get a headache and dislike 3-D but this was the most pleasant experience I have had watching a 3-D movie. That screen in particular is amazing. It is out of the way but I make a point of going out of my way when I can to see a movie here rather than the Savoy or Cineworld [vom]. Couple minutes on the LUAS from Abbey Street and you're there. Or if it's a nice evening take a stroll down. Some words of advice however..... If you do walk and it is dark then do be aware of your surroundings on the walk down. Remember the docklands area isn't in Dalkey. There are unsavouries knocking about as the surrounding residential areas are for the most part council housing. [By the way that is not me being a snob [I grew up in Stoneybatter] this is me being realistic.] So if it is dark get the LUAS. Also I learnt the hard way with this one, If you are going to a late show check if there is something on in the O2 arena across the way and what time it finishes at. I came out of the Odeon just after a big gig finished in the O2 and the queue for the LUAS was jammers, I couldn't get a taxi and had to walk to town. So time it right and you'll be grand. Oh and all day Wednesday it's €5 a ticket. Amazeballs! read more

If you ever wanted to feel like you had your own private cinema, that I have to give credit where it's due; The Odeon Cinema is pretty much the closest you can get to living this dream. The cinema is situated right at the edge of the Docklands on the north of the Liffey river, in Point Village, and given the fact that there are still more modern, over-priced flats in the area than there are people living in them, the cinema is still incredibly quiet. Despite this, the cinema offers the most amazing service. First of all, when you go in the main entrance, you make your way up 3 sets of escalators and you behold a massive, open, almost abandoned interior (you almost think to yourself "uhh..did I take a wrong turn or something? There's no one else here!",), and then you are lead passed the Starbucks into the foyer where you buy your tickets at the concession stand. The staff are fairly polite (one imagines that they have a fairly boring but nevertheless cushy job), and then you make your way into one of the screens...and even the standard 2D screens are massive. The seats have high back chairs, a decent rake so there's no chance of struggling to see the screen for a lanky bloke sitting right in front of you, crisp cleat sound quality, and decent digital projection. I've been there a half a dozen times, and it's always quiet, and I've always been happy with the service. And if you go during the week before 1pm, you're only shelling out 6 euro...but believe me, even when you have to pay more during peak times, you really are getting your money's worth. Now, I do believe in supporting your local indie cinemas rather than shelling out for the multiplexes, but I have to say that the IFI has a very hard time competing with Point Village for value for money and seating comfort. My only worry is that in a few years time, the standards will probably slip as it's popularity increases, which is always the way...so i urge you, for as long as it lasts, get yourself down to the Odeon and your very small amount of money will go a very long way! read more

I went to there because I checked the website, and movie(Bridget Jone's Baby) could see with subtitles at 18:20 on Sep 23th(Fri). I was looking forward to it, because my English is not good, but I can understand if I can read subtitles. And Finally movie starts, but subtitles didn't show up... wtf!?? I moved my plans around for it! I was disappointed. Parking fee is expensive. I just watched a movie, but I paid €10 more... (€3.5/1hr) If I can't watch the movie with subtitles, I'll go to another movie theater from now. read more

I give odean a 3 star if not a 3.5 . Only cinema still doin butter popcorn hot dogs and proper nacos. The premier seats are good but not really much control over who sits in them as when i paid for the tickets guys in front gor standard onea yet they wer also sitting in the same seats. The one thing i do notice about most odeans is the mess the place does be in behind the counter.really need to get better control over that. The cineams tho seats clean floors clean all the time screens always big sound does be amazing but have to say there is too much secondary lighting goin on . Very bright in screens 4 and 7. However odean do a great deal on a card u pay 20 euro a month for and u can see any movies u want as many times as u want its a fantastic deal i might get myself. read more

The Odeon cinema is about the only cinema I really like in Dublin now that the Swan Cinema is now gone and replaced with a truly awful cinema. ( i'll not talk about that it annoys me too much ). ( Apart from the lighthouse which is of course more than just a cinema! ) So why do I like it? Well generally its not massively busy, Its very clean, the screens are pretty good and finally...... It doesn't seem to be full of talkative idiots coming in late annoying me! Its a pity its not as close as the other cinemas. But hey ho. read more

A nice, somewhat abandoned cinema at point village. It is placed in an empty shopping mall, so the road up to the top floor is kind of spooky as there is nothing else in this mall beside the cinema. Because it is remote and nothing else is going on out here, they have good offers on all the time and great discounts if you come back for more (up to 40% discounts). It is almost guaranteed you will get the best seats in the house, because they never fill out the cinema. read more

Pros: - nicely located if you live by the docks and don't want to head to far into town - clean, modern, cinema, where you can book your individual seats - a much more relaxed vibe than cineworld or savoy cinemas Cons: - when I was there the box office was closed so I had to purchase using the kiosk. I prefer dealing with humans - it wasn't too crowded for a Saturday evening which is odd to me - they play about 6 movies at any given time read more

Best cinema experience I've had in Ireland. No riffraffs loitering about. It's not in a buzzing shopping centre, instead, it's in an immaculate building, with really excellent dining options. The Gideon hotel's restaurants are fantastic & just next door. Parking is €2 if you watch a movie. Definitely recommended! read more

I Saw the new Avengers Film on the massive I-sense screen, it's unbelievable! can easily say it's the best screen and digital cinema in the country . For all blockbusters and 3D movie's from now on i'll be making the trip, the Prometheus film will benefit the most from this screen, it's not I-Max but it's the next best thing. Comfy seats too! loads of space! loads of exclamation marks! they denote i'm excited as opposed to surprised by this cinema or review. The main reason though for the four star review was the staff, (as opposed to Cineworld's grumpy group of bored and less than helpful teenage staff,) The Odeon's staff were really helpful, polite enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the films and cinema in general. There was a problem with people talking loudly beside us, so my self and my girlfriend were placed in other seats no hassle. Their ushers politely encourage people using phones or chatting loudly to stop (in a nice way), just like Ushers from classic Cinema's of old! My girlfriend just added, that the toilets are really clean, and the buttered popcorn is great. when asked what she thought of the screens? she's more impressed with the popcorn. Birds what?! read more

Comfortable, reasonably priced and central enough. Nice place to chill out and watch a good movie.

This cinema has such a clinical feel to it and way too many escalators to get to where you want to go. Cinema was very cold and couldn't swing a cat in it. The staff though are very friendly and actually had conversation with you as they took the extortionate amount of money from you at the same time. It wasn't worth the red luas line journey I'm afraid. read more

It's conveniently located, it has parking and it's big. That's the good news. The bad news is that it's expensive on weekends, the popcorn is stale and the portions minuscule and most aggravatingly, the seats are TINY We saw Iron Man 3 when it came out and we went for the late late viewing. The café was closed, the place was eerily deserted and there wasn't much variety in terms of food and drink. We booked the premium seats too, expecting more leg, arm and thigh room than normal seats. I could see no difference between premium seats and regular seats. I paid extra for that and found I had to sit on my coat just so that the drinks cup holder didn't quite pinch me so much, but it was still VERY uncomfortable. Might as well be watching it on a plane. Also, the area it is located in looks quite dodgy at night, I wouldn't go on my own. Not going back needless to say which is very disappointing since it is relatively close to where I live that I could almost walk there during the day. However, given the fact that the seats are so piteously minuscule, I'll stick to driving to Dundrum and spread out on a sofa instead, thank you. read more

The Odeon may be out of the way, but it's also far from the madding crowds. We love walking along the Liffey, so it was a treat for us to get here. The LUAS O2 stop is also just a few steps away. The Odeon is a movie-lover's paradise, featuring digital, 3D, and iSense (~IMAX) screening options. It is spacious, sparkling, and spotless, and this includes the lovely loos (with enough of these that you don't have to wait for one - even if you're a girl!). We bought our tickets online and printed them out on site with no problems. All of the staff were very friendly, especially the cheerful concessionaire who went out of her way to be helpful. In addition to the concession stand, you can eat Ben & Jerry's or at the Costa Cafe located inside. You could also go for a bite or drinks before or after the show at the swank Gibson Hotel next door. The Odeon is definitely worth a walk to the Docklands. read more

The Odeon at Point Village, despite being the single lonely occupant of this massive building (which shoulda/woulda/couda been an awesome shopping centre) is a super convenient and well kept cinema. The luas is literally outside the door and there is also a car park I believe. The cinema has all the usual snacks etc BUT the half and half popcorn does not mean what you think it does..no, no, no- not half salt and half sweet but in fact half popcorn, then a layer of melted butter, then another layer of popcorn and another layer of butter(!!)- a method that according to the super friendly server ensures a thorough and efficient distribution of buttery goodness throughout..! Much more delicious than it sounds, although I'm sure absolutely terrible for your health! The cinema screens also do not suffer from the horrible boiling/freezing issue that many others do and it never seems to be too packed. All in all, pretty great :) read more

This is a soulless cinema in the middle of nowhere at the end of Dublin's docklands. Why oh why would you go here? Well, we bought a Groupon. First mistake. Choosing this cinema, ever. Second mistake. It said could be used on 2D or 3D movies. We chose to go to a 3D movie, but then were told at the till point that we couldn't go to see that one because it was ISENSE... "WTF is ISENSE?" I thought to myself. The Groupon said that we could use it on 3D movies aswell as 2D. There were other options of films we could have gone to, but one I had just seen the weekend previously, and the other 2 were not up our street. We asked to speak to the manager, as we checked the terms and conditions of the Groupon and thought it was pretty petty that they wouldn't let us use our Groupon for an ISENSE movie (when the movie was advertised as 3D and then "ISENSE" was in brackets)... The manager finally arrived as the film was starting. He was direct, and I'm guessing we weren't the first to complain about this offer, but he was very unhelpful about the whole situation. He said that we could go to other films, but we explained we weren't interested and we'd seen the other. He simply said that we just count use the voucher on ISENSE movies. We tried to explain that we didn't know the difference, but no go. Just nothing, from a guy, yes, trying to do his job, but someone who has lost the custom of 4 people, plus all of the others we're going to tell whenever this cinema is mentioned. The staff, although friendly and doing their job sufficiently, we're not to blame, but from a customer service point of view (and I work in a similar industry so I am well used to dealing with customers) the manager left us completely unsatisfied, with no reason to ever, ever return to this cinema. Why would We? This cinema has nothing going for it, in a part of town where you can't even get a cup of coffee (except for in the cinema itself!) and with management who have been trained to just say "No", with no interpersonal skills. Honestly, I never even write reviews, but there is no reason for anybody to go to this cinema ever when there are so many other options. read more
