Clean seats, comes with a recliner even without VIP, food selection is great ads don't take too long and the extra trailers before the movie starts is great branding, I highly recommend read more

Standard cinema, quite old now so not as spacious and luxurious as others. There is plentiful parking outside and it is also quite centrally located. The seats are not great for children as the angle of the incline of the auditorium is not as steep as the more modern ones so they can;t see over the seat in front without an uncomfortable plastic seat insert that doesn't allow them to sit back - they have to sit upright. They do a movie mob screening every Sat and Sun morning 10.30am and school holidays where you pay a couple of quid per child and adults get in free so really worth going to. On the website it will be down as the 'kids club' screening. Normally relatively recent films so it is a bargain. read more

Located on Aylestone road and a stones throw away from Leicester City FC is the Odeon. Its located in an entertainment complex, so there are plenty of bars and food outlets located next door. There is also a large shopping centre opposite it. The cinema has a good selection of new releases, from across different film genres. The cinema used to be the biggest in Leicester city centre, but the recently opened Cinema De Lux now takes that mantle. If you have children you can get doo deals on saturday's for 'kids club' showings and student with NUS cards can also make good savings. As with any other large commericial cinema chain, be aware of the hyper-inflated prices on food and drink items. read more

A bit scummy - could do with a facelift and a damn good clean. Can book seats though online - which helps with the crowds. Good oarking facilities. read more

I'm really not keen on this cinema, there's always feral kids going in and out, up and down the aisle, going to the toilet, for a drink? who knows but it's very annoying. I've also had to complain on two occasions that it's too cold so now even in summer I take a coat just in case. Frankly if I can go to the other cinemas I will. read more

Standard cinema. Small choice of movies next to Showcase and not as clean. Also a way out of the main shopping district.

Based near the football and rugby grounds, this branch of the Odeon cinema is easy to access by car or public transport. It has multiple screens, all of which are clean, tidy and comfortable, with good disabled access. There are boosters available if you have little ones with you - just ask the people checking the tickets - they're normally kept near their stations. The kids club screenings are a great deal - most Saturdays and through the holidays you can get in for £2.50 each (some screenings allow a free adult ticket, so even cheaper), so you don't mind so much spending £3 on that drink/popcorn/sweets combo that's advertised at the refreshments counter. I do miss the Haagen Daz cafe though - when did that dispappear? read more

really good cinema This cinema has a fairly modern and typical open plan feel to it, opening out once you walk in before you buy your snacks and enter your cinema the cinema chairs are really comfortable - to much so, as I often nod off and miss the film Very good for children with extra height available to put on your seats when watching film the soft drinks and sweets etc are as always fairly pricey, but the staff are cheerful and helpful and the kids film on a sat am comes with free adult entry for every childs ticket bought read more

Located at the tucked away Freeman's Park, Leicester's Odeon Cinema offers 10 screens of all the latest movie releases. It's a nice enough place, definately big when you first enter with everything easy to find. The staff I find are a bit unfriendly at times, there's not really that pinch of enthusiasm you'd expect to see from an employee and it doesn't look as if they do much cleaning either with the floor of the cinema and the individual screens themselves often being full of rubbish especially spilt popcorn. You can buy your tickets in the far right hand corner and there's also the option to buy a coffee or sweets from the various booths scattered around the foyer. I like going to the cinema here as there is a considerable amount of leg room between the aisles in the screens as I have very long legs and I like to feel comfortable when I'm watching the movie. The whole experience of visiting Odeon is entertaining and runs smoothly though admitedly rather costly. read more

Good cinema. Near by there are a couple of different places to eat and also a Bingo hall! There is always a lot of parking space here. The cinema is always clean and tidy and its quite spacious inside, usual choice of food, drinks and ice cream although I think its a bit more preicey than most Moving forwards I suspect this cinema may struggle with the new de lux one in the town read more

This cinema feels small, even though it is right in the middle of the Freemans Common complex. It has loads of screens which are small, but I suppose you could say that is the perfect intimate cinema experience. The main foyer feels crowded with lots of movie pop-ups, games machines, massage chairs and really things I don't need from a trip to the cinema.. Except Ben and Jerrys, their ice cream is great, although on more on one occasion they have not been able to process credit card payments. Be warned! They do accept Orange Wednesdays and online pre-booking. Plenty of parking. read more

I remember way back in the 80's watching Short Circuit, the film that starred Fisher Stevens and that Robot. It was a real good film for its day, good effects and good acting, the Robot did a good job in making the audiance belive he was real. Its a shame that after that film he did not become as big a star as was promised. I heard he's a washed out drunk now, living in some shack apartment in downtown LA, making straight to DVD movies when he gets the chance. Still i can always watch Short Circuit and think Steve Gutenburg was once a great actor, considering he was a Robot! read more

A WORD OF WARNING Shameful service from this cinema today. Paid at the desk for two teen-priced tickets for my 13 year old son and his 13 year old friend to see a 12A film unaccompanied. I left them to it and only 3 minutes later, my son rang me to ask if I could return to the cinema as they had been refused admission until an adult could verify his friend's age. I ran back to confirm that the friend is indeed 13 but the duty manager was not convinced and refused them admission to the film! She said that their policy is that a decision is made based on the OPINION of the manager as to the ticket-bearer's age, NOT whether the age could be confirmed by an adult. It would seem that nothing other than PHOTO ID (a passport? for a 13 year old to go to the cinema??) would have convinced her otherwise. She did not believe me when I tried to assure her that he was 13 (the minimum age to see a 12A unaccompanied is 12) and insisted that we leave the premises unless I could provide documentary evidence of my son's friend's age!! All in all this cinema displayed a contemptuous attitude towards honest customers like myself. What 13 year old's parents would want them to take their passport or birth certificate to the cinema? Especially if they were travelling by bike/walking. BE PREPARED TO HAVE YOUR WORD CHALLENGED IF YOU ARE THE PARENT OF A YOUNG TEENAGER! read more

Odeon is starting to seem a bit rundown now and full of annoying kids stampeding up and down the stairs. Pick n'mix is ridiculously overpriced too. read more

This was my last time, maybe I have been unlucky but I have visited this cinema with friends three times over the last year and every single time we have been I have had to get up out of my seat and go and explain to a member of staff that the movie were supposed to be watching in 3D ...isn't working correctly ....it's blurred and completely unwatchable and almost hilarious watching people putting on and off their glasses a dozen times wondering if its them.... completely ruins the whole experience for me, and on top of that call me old fashioned but I think if I am paying for a service there should actually be a service, especially at the prices they dare charge these days for cinema....annoying to have to waste my time missing part of the movie doing someone else's job who is paid to actually work at the cinema and make sure the movies they are showing are actually working when they are started. This time I got a refund and that was the only smooth part of the whole cinema going process....although the manager I spoke with on behalf of the entire audience didn't even have the basic respect to apologise or even offer to start the movie over again so everyone could enjoy it....won't waste another minute in this place again, and my friends all agree. Way to go Odeon! read more

Large odeon cinema with great pick and mix selection. Gets very busy so worth pre booking if it's a new film you want to see. It's surrounded by a pub and restuarant. Easy to get to. read more

Good cinema. Near the city centre. Parking not usually an issue. Nearby Morrisons so can get sheap sweets to bring into the cinema. I know you should do that but food prices are unbelievably expensive and not worth it. £3 for a drink? Can get 3 bottles of coke for that! read more
