    Vip all the way from 4:30 to 2am!! We're able to get a Pizza Hut delivered up for the movie marathon!
    Orlagh M.

    Have to say I loooove the vip seats in odyssey cinema! Nothing beats kickin back on a leather recliner, free drink and popcorn refills, personal wee cupboard for your sweeties and watching a good film! Only downside is, the vip concession stand is limited in produce, so after queuing for 10 mins, had to get told to go to the other one, and queue again Saying that, am loving it and have always loved it!

    Pretty good as far as Cinema's go, but the one thing this cinema has that others in the city don't is the VIP experience! I would recommend trying it at least once as it can make a movie experience so much more enjoyable! Coffee before the movie, refills on you popcorn and soft drink and of course be comfy recliner sofas while you watch the movie! The cinema itself is pretty decent, the prices are what you would expect, and nachos are pretty tasty (with a good kick from them) and lots of meal deals available. I guess it would be my first choice for a cinema as it is closer to home than the others. One downfall is the parking it's not free but it is when you purchase a family ticket for the cinema which I guess would cover a lot of the customers that go here. Kid's screenings are only £2.50 on a Saturday and Sunday morning!

    I love my films but there's no better way to watch one than in the vip screenings. Amazing comfy recliner chairs/sofas , free refills and a lovely little hot chocolate to start the film off in style. It's the only place I'll go to watch my favourite new releases. Trust me!! pay the extra money it's worth it!!!!!!

    Took my two girls here for half term treat. We saw Trolls and I must say I think I enjoyed the film more than the kids!! Tuesday all movies are £3 each. The seats were big and comfy and plenty of room. The foyer is big and spacious and there are lots of keenly priced concessions and deals. Great day and place for the kids.

    The best thing about the Odyssey Cinema is the VIP screenings, I actually go out of my way to go here for that reason.

    Best cinema ever!…read more Despite the fact that we have a cinema locally to where we live, the Movie House on the Dublin Road is the only cinema we go to. The cinema is in a good location in town with lots of on street parking available, or if it's busy, there is a multi story car park to the rear. If you fancy making a night of it, there are lots of restaurants in the area too. The cinema itself is over two floors, with food kiosks on both, and a coffee bar on the first floor, in case you arrive super early for the film, like we always seem to! There is a good selection of food available: Nachos (My favourite) with lots of cheese sauce and salsa, hotdogs, ice-cream, bags of sweets, crisps, and pick-n-mix. The screens are spacious and the seats are comfortable, what more could you ask for!

    I'm a big fan of The Moviehouse Cinema on the Dublin Road there's loads of pro's and only a few…read morecons, so here goes; Pros; City centre location - right on the middle of University Quarter. There's local bars and restaurants you can grab a bite from before you catch a movie. Parking across the road (free after 9pm) - literally a 30 second walk from the door. Simple booking process - you can book tickets online and use the self service ticket machine, definitely do this at weekend and peak times as it will save you a lot of time queuing. Cheap - £6.50 per ticket with student and OAP discounts Cons; Unreserved seating which makes it a bit of a free for all and means you should turn up early of you want to get good seat. As mentioned queues let this place down - it may be due to its popularity but you need to make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before your screening time if you want to get snacks.

The centre is a far oh eh from the shabbiness of the old curleys cinema! It's clean, well kitted out, and has the usual suspects that you would want at a cinema...only no hotdogs or crisps...which is what I always want lol! But got nachos instead...which come with the jalapeños in a wee sachet, as well as a tub of salsa...so no soggy nachos!!! Result! And the prices weren't overly expensive either Ordered tickets online, picked them up there at the touchscreen kiosk, got our grub and headed in Bish bash bosh...done! Great wee impromptu night, yes it's a small cinema...but it does the job rightly

Today I held a private screening of Night at the museum 3, for my son and 14 other children and the staff were unbelievable. You might be reading this thinking "Private screening bet that cost a fortune!" If this thought is scrolling around your mind, it is very wrong. For £5.50 per child, we were given our own screen and each of the kids got a small popcorn and a drink! With accompanying adults going free! Those of you unfortunate enough to have to book and pay for a kids party will know that is good value, and I really can't understand why they don't advertise this. Anyway, before the show started the team advised me that I could have the screen for another half hour after the show had ended to sing the obligatory rendition of happy birthday and even bring food in! What a great party the kids had and in such a great setting which really added to the occasion. The massive benefit of having the staff handle clean up, really meant a stress free time and a very enjoyable day. PS Ben Stiller needs to stop doing those films now.

The Strand is truly a grande dame among the modern multiplexes and I love it for that. It has been fully refurbished and divided into 4 screens, one of which is tiny and feels cosy without being claustrophobic. There are still some traces of how the cinema used to be set up, like the very old fashioned ladies and gents toilets which are accessed diectly from the seating area in the largest screen. You can still hear the film while you are on the loo!! Despite some quirky oldfashionedness, you'll still get all the latest releases showing here and a fab touch for me is that all seats are £3 all day on Wednesdays, even during the school holidays. This makes a big difference to your budget if you're taking 5 children to the cinema as a I did last summer and lived to tell the tale. The shop is a little basic but you'll still get all the popcorn, drinks and sweets you can scoff. Tricky to get parked directly outside but there is a small car park just around the corner. Oh and there is a 'meal deal' arrangement with the Gourmet Burger Bank just up the road - £9.95 for a meal and cinema ticket Sunday to Thursday. Hard to beat.

    I first attended The Strand to watch the Lion King when I was a wee nipper, 21 years later and the…read moretears have finally dried up and the Strand is still the cinematic experience it was back when Simba was conceived. As the Strand is so old it is in need of a facelift but that doesn't take away from what a great cinema it is. If you can see past a few tattered walls and some matted popcorn on the carpet and view these elements as authentic you'll love it's idiosyncracies. The cinema itself is excellent, showing new releases, classics and having special screenings. Get this! It's only £4 for any movie before 7pm and then only £5.50 after &pm for adults! That's a bargain when you compare it to other City Centre cinemas. Here's a wee sneaky insider tip - There isn't any parking for the Strand but if you take advantage of the £12.50 movie and meal deal at the Park Avenue Hotel next door you can park your car there! I love what The Strand Arts Centre represents, it's about the experience rather than just the movie. If you a cinema fanatic you'll love the character of the Strand!

    This is a cinema I always forget about despite living so close by. I think the reason I forget…read moreabout it is that it is housed within City Side Mall and therefore not visible from the outside. Last night we made the trip down to see the 8:30pm showing of the Martian. I was expecting the place to be empty being that it was Tuesday night and a little later, but no, the car park was jam packed. I couldn't quite work out where all the people were because when we got inside City Side it was like a ghost town (excuse the Halloween pun). The cinema is located on the second floor of City Side Mall, right above a B&M Bargains. Handy to know if you don't want to buy all the premium cinema snacks. It was 13 screens so there's always plenty of choice and good viewing times. The cinema costs £3.50 per adult which I think is an absolute bargain although last night we paid an extra £1 for 3D glasses. There's 2 separate snack stands meaning that you won't be queuing through the movie trailers. The screen we were in last night (screen 4) sat around 100 people and was well laid out. The sound quality was average, at times I thought it was a little muffled but nothing to complain about. Overall this Moviehouse is great - really convenient and well looked after. A definite 4 stars.

    Popcorn, anybody want popcorn?…read more Positioned neatly at City Side Retail Park, Moviehouse cinema caters for everyone's needs. With a wide range of films, to multiple showings and online booking, what more could you ask for? Well maybe heated seats and a personal waiter to refill my drink when the need arises, but life's not perfect. Despite its age, the building is in good nick and always to a high standard of cleanliness. Staff are pleasant and always more than willing to help with any enquiry. Crazy Tuesday's are exactly as they are advertised-crazy! So make sure you either book online or get down early to avoid the queue which often transcends the front entrance. If like me, you fancy the quieter nights where you can sprawl across two seats, slurp as loudly as possible and question every character on screen try a Monday or Wednesday...plus double whammy on Wednesdays if you're an Orange customer with their 2 for 1 offer.

    I do love a good night out at the flicks, and if you are a fan of film this is the place to be!…read moreBelfast has plenty of options for watching the usual big budget fayre but for the more discerning viewer the QFT always has something on offer. I've cried at cartoons, laughed at documentaries and rocked out at the rockumentaries. You should also keep an eye out for their special events. Last week I saw the new Hockney documentary which included a live link up to the artist's studio in LA and was shown in tandem with 200 cinemas across the UK. It was awesome. I took my Dad who usually falls asleep within 15 mins of anything, and he was on the edge of his extremely comfortable seat! The new bar area is a lovely ,relaxed space, and it makes a nice change to smell culture rather than overpriced sickly popcorn! ;-)

    The QFT is one of the few independent cinemas left in Belfast (probably in Northern Ireland…read moreactually). It's the place to see modern, largely independent films. It's also a great place to see films like Coco Before Chanel or La Vie En Rose - pretty well known and successful films, but not mainstream enough for the chain cinemas. You'll get a mix of students, film buffs and Guardian reader types (I mean no offence, I include myself in that group!) here, all enjoying the chance to see something different, challenging, and hopefully more interesting than some of the films available in bigger screenings. The only criticism I have is of the screens themselves. There isn't a lot of leg room (not a problem for me, I'm 5ft3", but anyone over about 5ft6 would have trouble), and only some of the seats are elevated. At a screening of Coco Before Chanel, the only seat I could get was in the third row and as a result, I could see the bottom of the screen. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but when the film is subtitled, it's a pretty fatal flaw. Thankfully, my French isn't terrible, so I was able to fill in some of the blanks, but others weren't so lucky. There are always some great films and talks on at the QFT during the Belfast Film Festival, so whether you're a casual fan or a total film buff, this place is worth checking out.

Now he wasn't going to tell us for fear we would give something away! So a few days before Saturday, the secret was revealed- he'd hired a private cinema in Comber and invited Clara's family and closest friends! Brilliant! The venue is Execelsior cinema which is located at 29 Ballynichol Road, Comber, BT23 5NW. It holds up to 30 people and shows whatever film you like! Eoin had secretly sussed out what film she would like to watch over Christmas and she said "Edward Scissorhands"! So Edward it was! We all arrived early and set up our sweets, popcorn and drinks in anticipation of Clara's arrival. She was so shocked to discover us all sitting there in the cosy cinema, donning our best Christmas jumpers! The cinema is a class idea for a special occasion because it really is such a private venue for family and friends. I'm already trying to think of an occasion to get hiring it again!

One of my partner's favourite films is The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers and he'd mentioned how he would love to see it again on the big screen, so this was the obvious choice. They don't have a massive web presence, but I found the telephone number online and rang to speak to Roy, the proprietor, and we got booked in. We arrived on Saturday night and saw the cinema for the first time. Roy had taken the time to spell out Happy Birthday Craig on the billboard which added a fantastic personal touch. He invited us inside and showed us around. The cinema was done up in a 1950's style and looked unreal! There were lots of old movie pictures and figurines inside. The cinema seats up to 30 people - the seating is the traditional cinema style 'flip up seats, which were really comfortable. There is also a bathroom inside the cinema so you don't need to leave. Roy then started the movie and left us to enjoy it, there is a call bell in the foyer though if we had needed any assistance. You are allowed to bring in your own food and drink, including alcohol! All in all this was a fantastic experiece which I recommend far and wide!
