If you visit Glasgow, Cineworld is a must see. We were told to come for a 4DX movie. We watched…read more"Cold Pursuit". The theater was very clean, and among the most comfortable I've ever seen! The seats move with the movie, and water or mist will spray into your face, as the movie dictates (gun shots, water scenes, etc). They also have large fans that will generate a cool breeze during certain movie scenes, and smells are added as well (gun smoke). This is the King of all movie theaters! There's also a bar in the cinema. We were able to have a few cocktails while waiting for our movie. I learned after, that they also offer a VIP theater, where drinks and food are brought to you! As I stated, if you're in Glasgow, you MUST add this to your list!

Love, love, love the Glasgow Film Theatre! I was here tonight seeing Les Mis as a wee birthday…read moretreat from my parents with Colin, the Parentals, and my next door neighbour Grace. I forgot to mention in my original review that there's a coffee shop on the ground floor and a bar on the second floor, both of which are cosy and lovely and sell all your traditional bar and cafe like goodies! I just love how traditional and original the GFT is; just walking towards if from the outside, it looks like a gorgeous 1930's New York cinema or theatre and that's what I love about it! They also do a loyalty card which I think I'm going to invest in!

I don't frequent the GFT as much as I used to since I became a proud owner of a Cineworld card & I…read morehadn't been for nearly a year when we decided to go last weekend. The reason we came here is for one of the main reasons why the GFT is so brilliant ~ it offers a variety of films you just couldn't see on the big screen anywhere else in Glasgow. We saw a documentary about a Riot Grrrl singer/band who I loved & adored from the '90's (it's called The Punk Singer & it really is brilliant) - not really mainstream cinema audience stuff! Since we last visited the GFT has had a wee revamp & also now has an addition of a 3rd screen downstairs. It is essentially where the cafe used to be & when we first walked in I was a bit baffled as to where the cafe had moved too. It is now upstairs and downstairs towards the back they now have a wee coffee & snacks kiosk with a couple of tables/seats where you can also sit & wait before your film starts. We ordered some snacks & a coffee and sat for about 10 minutes. In this time I think I managed about 3 sips of my flat white which was hotter than the sun! *ouch* It was, once cooled, a reasonably nice coffee (note: they don't serve any soya/non-diary milk) if a tad pricey. Luckily for us our film was being shown in the new screen (screen 3) and as soon as we entered I was in love! It has been done out beautifully & it has a really cosy almost 'home cinema' feel to it. It is quite a small screen with only 60 seats in total. The seats themselves were lovely, soft leather style seats which were so comfortable AND they had cup-holders! Yay! Something I always felt was lacking in the other screens. As soon as we sat down we were smiling. The temperature of the screen was also pleasant - I usually find Cineworld or other cinemas too chilly at times so to not have to sit huddled underneath my coat during the film was a bonus. I love that the GFT exists in Glasgow because it truly is unique in this great city. The mix of old, new, Arthouse, World & more mainstream films being shown on any one week goes to show the eclecticism of it's audience & how well it caters for the film buffs in & around Glasgow. They occasionally put on theme or more one-off evenings ~ I remember in the early 2000's coming here to see local bands introducing their favourite films, some bands even performing on the night & other events where some bands would play along live to a film as it was being screened. Brilliant. They have a Loyalty Card scheme where by you earn points for each visit & points = money off tickets. They also have a Cinecard which is £32 a year for money off & points. You can also get the Orange Wednesday deal and the Sunday Herald Film Club 2-for-1 offer as well. So a trip here may not work out as pricey as you might originally think. It's a beautiful building and is well worth a visit at least once in your lifetime. I am sad about the demise of the cafe downstairs as I always thought it was really cool but if losing that means gaining a new (lovely) screen then it was worth it.

Do not go there on Saturdays. I went there yesterday to…read morewatch Hamilton and the whole time I could hear the music from upstairs. The staff at the cinema were really understanding but sadly could not do much about it. They let me know that they already tried to have the music lowered, but the venue above clearly didn't care. I even went to speak to someone during the intermission, but nothing changed. I was really looking forward to seeing one of my favourite musicals on the big screen, but it was extremely overshadowed by the thumping upstairs.

I have to confess that I haven't been in the Grosvenor cinema since the digitally-enhanced edition…read moreof Star Wars IV came out. It was a Saturday afternoon and the place didn't look like it had been cleaned since the Friday late-night showing, there was a huge stain in the centre of the screen and I swear that the sound (contrary to Lucasfilm requirements) was not even in stereo, never mind THX surround. I was so disgusted that I wrote to the then-owners of the cinema AND Lucasfilm to complain. Never heard back from either of them. Yesterday I was attending a private screening of some dance films as part of the Cottier Chamber Project/West End Festival, and I'm glad to say it was a whole new experience. The cinema bore no resemblance to the one I remembered - what were these swanky new leather seats? Even the entrance was changed, they had room for a bar next to it, and you could even take your drinks into the cinema! How very civilised indeed. Because of the reconstruction, the screens are smaller than I remembered, but the layout is much improved so you no longer feel that you're looking sideways at the screen. It is definitely several orders of magnitude better than the old fleapit that it used to be. There were some presentation issues with the video formats not being properly set in advance so there were a couple of false starts with the films. It was a pretty informal occasion so it wasn't enough to spoil the afternoon; but for that reason I'm only giving it 3 stars this time around. I may revise that after a future visit.

This new Vue Cinema at the Fort is definitely substantially smaller than the one I'm used to in Hamilton, but I think I prefer it for this reason. Situated above 4 restaurants in the middle of a shopping centre, you'd think it would be absolutely chaotic, but it was relatively quiet the night we went, and that was for orange Wednesdays as well! The staff seemed pleasant and competent for a new opening, and I thoroughly like this wee cinema! I'm sure it'll get busier the more people notice that it's there, especially with the restaurants underneath!

What to expect: -The full session takes about 75 minutes, starting with a sit-down 20 minute display set to music -You then walk around the rest of the exhibits, watching them come to life, again to music (if you can't stand for long there are chairs available) -It's all very surreal! I'd also suggest that if you don't like ballet (i.e. you need words/lyrics to appreciate stories being told) then you probably won't like this too much, but just for its sheer uniqueness you should give it a visit. Perhaps start with the 40 minute show and work your way up.

I wasn't all that excited for Cineworld opening at Silverburn, I'll be honest. The last time I went…read moreto the movies was June 2014 and it's just not something I ever think of doing, even when it's a movie I like the sound of. I also don't get to Silverburn very often even though I live nearby because of two reasons - 1 the horrendous parking situation; and 2 all the people. So I really wanted to see The Martian as I loved the book so much, and this week is the last week they're showing it. We booked online and collected our tickets when we arrived although note that you can't scan an iPhone 6 Plus screen to collect them as the screen is too big. Ha. The cinema foyer is pretty small, just has a candy bar bit and a Starbucks and toilets but that's fine by me. The actual cinema we were in (6) was a wee one, with only about 10 rows of seats. It was great though as it was only about half full and everyone there was my kind of movie goer - silent and well behaved. There is loads of legroom and it was pretty damn comfy for a 2+ hour movie. It's about £9 each booking online which isn't too bad really. I'll definitely be back!

In addition to the food and drink you have the cinema itself it's brand new so you get comfy seats great view large screens and great sound system. While we are on the subject of screens these guys have a super screen one of the first in the UK and this thing is massive it does cost a premium but is worth it for the right movie. Other than that they show the usual selection of 2d and 3d movies at the great cineworld unlimited card rates. You really can't complaint. So settle down for a coffee/beer/soft drink serve up the popcorn and enjoy a movie in Glasgow newest cinema.

My dad and I love going to the cinema and my dad asked me to check out what was showing in AD. Ok,…read morebit of background and what is AD I hear you ask? My dad is registered blind but thankfully more and more cinemas are catching up with the technology of AD (Audio Description). This is where a blind or VIP (Visually Impaired Person) can attain a special headset from the front desk, which allows the user to hear a description of what's happening within the film. My dad has always been a cinema goer since he was young and he didn't want to be held back by his impairment so finds the headset excellent and it let's him continue to enjoy the cinema going experience. I would normally head to Renfrew Street but I recently got the Cineworld app and it brings up your nearest cinemas. I had totally forgotten about this one and it's actually a little bit closer to me than the Renfrew Street one. I checked both to see what was in AD but unfortunately most were cartoons but luckily Parkhead had Taken 2 on. More our style! I do like a good action film. It was a Saturday afternoon when we headed in and of course it being years since the both of us have been to The Forge, we found the car park absolutely mobbed. I managed to get a car parking space outside Asda. It was an ok route to cut through and will bring you out at the escalators to head upstairs to the cinema. I can get in for free as a carer with my dad as he has a CEA card (Cinema Exhibitor's Assocation). It really is a lot of acronyms in the land of the visually impaired. Unfortunately for me in a way I have a Unlimited Card so I tend to use that since I'm paying for it every month. Anyway I do use my Unlimited Card when going with my friends and man. The cinema is good as it's not that busy, so not much queuing. They have done away with the external pay desk located outside in the mall. It's just full of film banners and point of sale. You now need to pay where you buy popcorn and drinks from. There's no machine to collect tickets, they probably find there's no need as it tends not to be that busy. First time we went I bought my dad's senior ticket there but when we were deciding to go again to see Skyfall, when looking through the app I realised you can use MyCineworld online and get 10% off the ticket. So this then brought the ticket to under a £5. Cha-Ching! Just book online, get a ref code and tell them at the desk. Done and dusted! I can't wait to go back, it's fantastic for my dad and makes it easier for me, as I used to try and describe to him. I hate people talking too much in the cinema and I was feeling a hypocrite. This helps more than probably most people know. Oh must mention the seats, there is a hugemongous amount of leg room, so an extra added bonus. The food and drinks are gigantic and it is mighty pricey but I did noticed they are offering 10% for Unlimited Card users. I still wouldn't buy much, maybe the odd sweetie but it's a rare occasion. We had a pleasant experience and the staff were really nice to me and my dad. We have already decided what to see next. Yay!

I live in Glasgow, but have settled on…read moreEmpire in Clydebank as my de rigour cinema of choice for several reasons, mostly related to the contempt I feel for the various alternatives. Cineworld in town: faaaaaar too busy, I had the misfortune of going one Wednesday night (clementine special pass day) and was virtually in a different postcode when I joined the queue. Also it's rather pricey. Odeon at the Quay: this place is dirty and smelly, and what's with the seat upgrade thing? What they really mean is you can pay an additional surcharge not to have to sit on some kind of medieval bottom torture device. Rubbish. GFT: understandably the film lovers choice, and its independent status and classic style is certainly worth a great deal. It's my second favourite cinema, but egad, if it isn't the most middle class, pompous place sometimes. Have you ever been there to see any smarmy, self important, clever-clever, foreign language comedies there? I have, and the self-satisfied smirking of my fellow cinema goers almost had me throwing my popcorn (that's if they sold such crass sub-bourgeois commodities as popcorn). And so, the Empire in Clydebank. Quite far from home, yes. Limited to only mainstream blockbuster releases, yes that too. Dirty with every surface permacoated in a greasy film, yes, also the case. The threat of casual violence consistently in the air, alas also a fair point. But whenever I've been it's been damn cheap, utterly dead (I've rarely queued for a ticket there) and without incident. There was that time during the second Matrix film that a massive fight broke out behind me, but we were given free tickets to a future film showing of our choice. At least I think that was the reason. Maybe they were so ashamed about the utter absence of any redeeming features offered by second Matrix film that they felt they had to give something back. Also, near ASDA if you need some milk before hometime.
