Great news we have a cinema back at the fort!…read more Last time I visited the old cinema the floor was sticky and the old place stunk. But now we have a fresh cinema that all shiny & brand new! Plenty of screens & toilets. Last few times it's been relatively quiet, which is nice! You can choose your seat and chill. It has a costa, so you even grab a coffee and take it into the screen with you, beats a fizzy drink sometimes! Opposite costa is the odeon's fast food bit with nachos and drinks etc to get you munching through the moo ooo vie!

I haven't had a bad experience with them yet and they are always super helpful and funny. The food and drink offering is good here too. It also has an in house costa coffee if you prefer to take one of those in instead. Handy as you don't have to walk to the ones further away. On Friday and Saturday book your tickets online and collect them. I was let down the other week when my showing was sold out but the guy was really nice behind the til and gave us VIP seats for our alternative viewing. Like I said..super nice. There are also loads of choices for food either before or after in the surrounding restaurants.

We grabbed a wine and beer for £10, which was not bad. The cinema tickets were a bit pricier at £11.25 each, but you can easily see why once you've made your way to your seats. Each theatre only sits about 25 people. It pretty much feels like you're at a private home theatre. A few of the seats in the back were an actual couch for two people, which was nice for cozying up and really feeling like home. In addition, you also get complimentary Pringles --how cool! Definitely an awesome experience.

I am never returning to uncomfortable chain cinemas after the quality experience that is The Dominion. As a community we need to support local family-owned businesses like the Dominion, especially after the struggle that lockdown has put them through. I will be making it a commitment to go to the Dominion at least once a month.

I've been a proud Filmhouse member since 2011. Initially attracted by the fantastic selection of…read morenon-mainstream movies and also the cheap prices (especially as a student member), I've seen so many pictures at this cinema. They have a great bar and cafe area, which also holds a film quiz each month (extremely difficult). The prices have been going up quite fast in the last few years, so I've gone somewhat less often recently, but the cinema is great. I love the friendly atmosphere, the unique programme, and the delicious cafe options. Well worth a visit!

The theatre is comfortable and warm and has a vintage feel to it as the curtains open to reveal the screen. However there are no cup holders or much leg room but who cares when you can watch classic films like wizard of oz on big screen. The bar and cafe are great too although the portions are huge and a lot goes to waste the food is very tasty! The reception area sells DVD's which is great but it would be quicker and easier to find a DVD if they were displayed sideways instead of frontwards to save time flicking through every single DVD which is so frustrating and I give up in the end. Also the filmhouse has a sale of Vinyl records every month but there is no information in the filmhouse about it, no leaflet telling you when it's on, what time or how much the vinyls might cost, which I think would be useful in letting people know about events and things happening at the Filmhouse. All in all I give the Filmhouse a 5*.

So the other day I decided to make a trip to the cinema with some friends. Due to the queue, and…read morethe fact I'm nice like that, I went ahead and bought all three tickets. "The film is in 3D and you will need the glasses" they man behind the counter said to me, "sure, no problem I said". £30 it cost me! £30! That IS a problem! You would hope the one upside to seeing a film at a cinema lacking all character and atmosphere run by a faceless corporation would be the cheaper prices. I could have seen the same film for far cheaper in the independent cameo up the road. Needless to say the actual cinema is pretty much like every other Odeon. I don't really mind it, you get to go underground which is quite cool. The staff are really friendly. Both the young girl who serves food and particularly the older woman who checks the tickets, are really chatty. Beyond that expect the same experience as anywhere else. It's lucky that its the film that really makes the cinematic experience. If the prices go up anymore, spend wisely and buy your own cinema.

It's a nice little cinema located in the old town. This was my first cinema experience in Edinburgh…read moreand I was pleasantly surprised you can bring pizza into the cinema from the restaurant next door- on my to do list for next time. I had my ticket booked online and picked it up via their online system which was easy to navigate and eliminated the need for any face to face contact. It's a smaller cinema, but I had no issues with seating and picked a great spot so acoustics and visibility were fine (though I did go in the middle of the day on a weekday!)

The Dominion is my favourite cinema in the city! It's badly needed and absolutely brilliant!…read moreThey show all the latest releases (maybe not bang on time but a day or so after they're out) and it's a proper cinema. BUT.... the best thing about this cinema is the seats!! They have couches, leather recliners and huge sofas! It's like a huge living room!! So it's a really different way to go to the cinema. Saying that though, it's only amazing if you're in the big cinema. There are 3 cinema's, one is TINY and the other two are a lot bigger. They mainly show the big films in the big cinema so aim for them. Also you do have to pay quite a bit for the pleasure! But it's worth it

Cineworld is a mainstream cinema, with big displays and not much of a character, and that's cool…read morefor lots of people. It won't bring nearly as many alternative movies as other cinemas in Edinburgh, but it surely does, only that you need to keep an eye for them, as they might stay for only a few days. I like the fact that they can bring back movies for a second screening when a "linked" movie will be shown, or when some event relates to the movie, aka. Special screenings on Valentine's day, or when a sequel is about to be released. For the more eclectic audience, you can get Royal Opera House and other theatres' shows, and you get a massive discount on them with an unlimited movies' card. I remember watching the Nutcracker a few months ago and the screen ratio wasn't correct (stretched) and it was the transmitter's issue, not Cineworld's one: the Cineworld manager apologised a few times, and during the break a full refund was offered. Thankfully, during the 2nd half of the show the image was restored. Any snack and drink are overpriced, like in most cinemas, and unfortunately you can't get your own drink or food in the cinema. I have been an Unlimited movies' cardholder for almost three years now, which means I can go to any 2D and 3D movie for free, and get discounted access to special ones including IMAX, the only one in Edinburgh. If you do go to cinema at least twice a month, it's worth considering a membership! I will be keeping mine for sure!

Another quick update, and at first this might sound a bit self-indulgent, but hear me out. There…read morewill be a point. My last update saw me ranting about the - seemingly purposeful - lack of 2D screenings in order for them to reap more profits by showing more 3D films and subsequently charging extra for glasses, supplements, etc. However recently I received a fine pressie in the mail: my Cineworld Unlimited PREMIUM card! Not only have Cineworld updated their Unlimited system to allow their cardholders to book advance tickets (another prior gripe of mine), Premium cardholders now benefit from 25% off food and drink (including the upstairs bar) and also their free movie allowance is inclusive of 3D films. A much-needed improvement. My point at the end of all that is: as much as they're fleecing the non-members with their lack of cheaper options, it now seems like Cineworld are trying to simply goad customers into investing in the Unlimited Card. Given all the additional perks of it, it appears the £15 per month is worth it now more than ever. Get one and reap the benefits!

There is a large Cineworld cinema, Pizza Hut, Nandos, a casino, Virgin Active health club, bars, bingo, bowling alley and a kiddies soft play center. I actually quite like Fountain Park because it is right on my doorstep and it has everything I need for an evening on entertainment. There is a large car park so you can drive here and if you use the cinema or other businesses your car park ticket is validated making the parking free. Free parking in Edinburgh is a bonus! You can go for something to eat and know what to expect in the chain restaurants before heading off to the cinema/bowling alley/casino. It's perhaps not as large as some of the out of town complexes you see in the likes of Glasgow, but it does have everything you need and something for everyone.

I have only been to Fountain Park once, for bowling. But I will return this afternoon to visit the…read moreCineworld. Anyway, I feel that this place is largely for the students living around this area as it has a massive Cineworld, a Pizza Hut, a Nando's and a Tenpin bowling alley among its facilities available. The place felt quite empty and depressing the last time I was in and there seemed to be a lot of empty space between the bowling alley and the cinema, with the main concourse functioning as an extended hallway to get between the two. There is an underground car park which is free for the first four hours but if you stay any longer than that, then you will have to pay money for every extra hour you stay there. I did like the bowling alley, and the Pizza Hut was pretty decent when we went to it so I suppose this place serves its purpose with one of the only casual bowling alleys in the Edinburgh area. I hope I will enjoy Cineworld as it seems significantly cheaper than Odeon and Vue.

When I was growing up, the closest cinema to me was a 30 minute car journey away, and that cinema…read moreonly had one screen and was about three months behind everywhere else, so if I wanted to see something in particular I would have to travel at least 2hours to get to one of the mega-complex cinemas. As a result, I tend to look at smaller, less appreciated cinemas with a sense of fondness, cinema's like the Cameo in Tolcross. Ok, it doesn't look like much but the 50s style 'Now Showing' board at the front adds character for what it lacks in structure. The red velvet curtains and gold-plaited popcorn boxes bring back fond memories for me, and was a novelty to my friends. It has become retro - not because they have slaved over the decor, but because it simply hasn't changed. The cinemas themselves are beautiful, the main one is huge with curving rows of seats. It's really nice to go to a traditional cinema now and again. They show all the new releases, as well as some less-known edgy indie films. There's something for everyone at the cameo. It's worth going to the Cameo to see that film that you were going to go to the Omni centre for . Why, I hear you ask? Why not? It's a different experience, same film. It's not that comfortable if the film is long, and the huge rooms make it easy to get cold, but it's really pleasant.

When you step through the door, under the big neon board outside which proudly announces all the films currently on show and into the lobby, you feel as though you're walking into a picure house in the 1950s. But in a good way. They have a mix of current blockbusters on show, like Inception, alongside arty and foreign films to suit the high-brow types. The downside though, is that with it being a smaller independent cinema it has much fewer films on show as the bigger ones do.
