After being spoiled by the Vue in Reading, I discovered to my dismay that cinema-going in…read moreCanterbury was pretty much limited to this. There are other, better options in Maidstone and Ashford, but locally, this is the option if you want to see something in its first run. There are only two screens, and the theaters themselves are the highlight of the experience. They both have excellent seating and interesting architectural details. Staffing, film options and concessions are the biggest gripes. The staff is congenial enough, but once I had to go back to the stand three times (once after the film had already started) before I finally got my hot dog. Most of the hot food is made to order, which is nice because it's fresh, but it means waiting around a long time to get it. Theaters aren't open until about 15 minutes before showtime. There isn't anything wrong with this, per se, but there's limited waiting space, which means that busy films cause clogged staircases. There's a little seating area on the ground floor, but no one really uses it. Finally, if you want to see a film, go the first weekend it plays. If you wait until the second or third weekend, it might not be there anymore. All in all, a serviceable cinema, but only because this is all there is in Canterbury.

This is fine if you are seeing a short film, but unfortunately it has more seat occupancy so this screen still gets used a lot.

It wouldn't of been a problem if there was a sign or if they hadn't watched us stand there knowing what we were waiting for. Once we bought out tickets we thought we would waste a little time in the arcade, which used to be a lot better.

Tickets are cheap, movies are great and some cult favourites are often played here. It isn't glam or grand, based in a lecture theatre at the university, but you tend to be able to see great, serious film from foreign cinema, or some lesser known directors closer to home. It is quiet, clean and definately for the film buff, so it means you can watch what you like in peace. Free parking makes this a better bet than the Odeon in town and if you go to a cheap monday night film - it is even better value.

I like this place very much, mostly because, unsurprisingly, I like to be able to watch a film without people talking through it and it tends to attract film students and older people who sit in silence. The bar and food have improved greatly since a refurbishment a few years ago and it feels so much more personal and a sophisicated night out than going to a multi-plex. As an added bonus you can park close by for free, which is unusual in Canterbury and there is a regular bus service into town.

My partner and I love sitting at the back, its a simple treat that cheers us both up. The second smaller screen is very intimate and is enjoyable when it is quite empty but I find it quite annoying if it is full up and there are people chatting or messing around. This is my one complaint about this cinema, I have seen quite a bit of silly behaviour from groups of teenagers and I know that this can be difficult for staff to deal with. I do much prefer this cinema to the big cineworld in Ashford for atmosphere and price, the only reason we would go to ashford is if the film we wnted to see wasn't on in Folkestone.

The seats in the larger theatre are a little small and uncomfortable but the ones in the right hand theatre have been replaced. What I love about this place is they still have a reasonable policy on charging for popcorn and sweets its only a little more than the shops, whereas at the larger multiplexes you end up paying more for a drink and pop corn than you did for the theatre tickets. This place is never a busy as a multiplex and its great for when you want to go to a new release film but cant be doing with the crowds at the multiplexes.

This is my local cinema and I have been coming here for quite some time now. The good thing about…read morethis place is that it's a bit out of the way so it's generally not too busy. The bad thing about this place is ALSO that it's a bit out of the way so it's not that easy to get to. Even though it's next to a leisure/sports centre it's not very well served by public transport (there's only 1 bus) so unless you drive it's difficult to just pop by after work, but they do have plenty of parking space if you do drive. It's a big enough multiplex from the odeon chain so you get a good selection of 2D & 3D movies. As with most other cinemas... avoid the snack/sweets/popcorn.

I once wrote to Vue Management to complain about Vue in Romford. The seats were soaked in God-knows…read morewhat, the screens were covered in mess, there was popcorn everywhere, the projector was projecting wrong, there were balloons randomly in the theatre blocking the top corner of the screen. Their response was at least honest; "Unfortunately, due to the clientele in Romford it is difficult for us to maintain a consistently high quality" - and I believe them. The Vue in Romford is decent as Multiplexes go; but the problem comes when you find lots of kids who'd rather text each other across the room and make random turrets type noises than watch a movie. We used to avoid this by going to screenings at 11pm. But we found that although the kids were gone, their mess wasn't. I complained a much of times and to be fair to them, I got a few free tickets-- but it got to the point where I'd rather pay to go somewhere else and not have to sit on someones unwanted popcorn. Cinematically; the films are presented well; good sound and good size screens; but often you'll find coke splashed on screens or my biggest problem; holes in the screen (meaning shiny bright sparkling areas). A cinema that tries to be good but doesn't quite pull it off. Go elsewhere.

This Vue cinema is great, you can either buy your tickets downstairs from a dedicated ticket desk,…read moreor go up some escalators and buy your tickets with your popcorn, or you also have the choice of buying them online and collecting them from a ticket machine. In the main lobby, you have a Ben & Jerry's stand from where you can get some yummy ice cream, next to the stand they have a selection of pick and mix. The lobby looks nice, but is always pretty busy during the evenings so I suggest getting there early. As Paul mentioned there is a lack of food, but to be honest there aren't many cinemas that do a huge range. As this is near a shopping complex there are a few places you can go to eat. I am a huge popcorn fan, and Vue does do tasty popcorn. The screens are good and the seats are comfortable, this Vue is great to watch any film =)

The cinema is divided into 3 screens, Premiere, Century and Bijou screens, the biggest being the Premiere (this screen also has the most expensive seats £6 for their premier seats) and this is where most of the new releases are shown. The century and the Bijou screens are both quite a bit smaller (the bijou is like watching a film in your front room!) but both show the bigger releases a couple of weeks after and also show the more independent films. Overall a nice little cinema well worth a visit if in the area and dont fancy a trip to the big multiplex.
