Pure greed ! The pick and mix sweets area is unhygienic , food and drink is expensive and the toilet facilities are also often unclean. Sadly Omniplex Dundonald will no longer be receiving my business.

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.

Great cinema, with lots of screens following an extension a few years back. The staff are friendly and always greet you with a smile. They have 2 counters for refreshments and food one as you walk in, including pick and mix, and the other at the top of the stairs, particularly handy when they are busy. They do student discount and also have a discount night on Tuesday (Crazy Tuesdays, the students love it), regardless of that, it's certainly on the cheaper end of Belfast Cinemas. The only slight negative is some of the older smaller screens smell fusty, could probably do with a good air out! Seats are just first come first served so get there early for the freshly released blockbusters.

I do like coming here, I think partly due to sentimentality and it being the place myself and…read morefriends came to when the Odyssey in general was in its prime and we were at that young carefree age where we were just starting to drive and could go where we wanted. The cons to this place first to get them out of the way then. First and foremost, it's run down. The seats are still among the more comfortable you're likely to enjoy a movie in, but there will be rips in the fabric of some and stains on others, plus you can feel the groove of many of the people who have sat in them before over the years. So it could do with some investment to spruce it up. There is also then the cost of parking to consider and that car really the only way to get here as it's a bit out of the way otherwise. If you want to make an evening of it, there is the problem that the run down nature of the place is reflected across the whole Odyssey Pavilion which means that there is nowhere left in the complex to eat, other than a Pizza Hut or a lighter bite in the Street Café here. The price of drinks and snacks here, like most cinemas is also way over the top. My last 2 visits with my daughter cost more in snacks than it did for the tickets! The pros then. Well there are the ticket prices.... The deals on a Tuesday or Thursday and the member's card discount (free to join) are good and there will be many movies available for £3.00, which for a movie ticket these days is a steal! The range of snacks is really good as well, from hot dog (proper frankfurter), through popcorn, chocolates and a good pick n' mix to choose from. They also have good screening times and continue to show older movies that have been out a while longer than most others, I think they can due to the number of screens they have. The staff are also pretty nice and helpful and they do seem to run a few nice little events aimed at families. For example when we were there on one occasion they had a free to use bouncy castle and a petting zoo for the kids. I like this place, it still makes it feel like an event going to a movie here, but I would have to acknowledge I may look at the place through slightly rose tinted glasses. But with a tidy up I think it could quite easily be a good cinema in anyone's estimation!

Not going to lie, this was probably the most comfiest movie theatre experience I've ever had…read more My friend and I wanted to have one fun, relaxing evening on our trip. We asked the barista at a coffee shop down the street what some fun things to do around the area were and she pointed to this movie theatre and said that we could go see a movie and go bowling. So that's exactly what we did. The theatre is located in the upper level of a mall. The mall itself was completely dead and looked like it was going through some renovations. We made our way up the escalator and it led us directly to the theatre. You shouldn't get lost trying to find it. We bought tickets to the VIP screening of A Simple Favour, which also came with a drink and popcorn. For all of that it cost £15 per person. We made our way to the theatre and realized that we were sitting in large, comfy, recliner chairs. The ones you'd see in your grandpa's living room - except leather and more sleek. It felt like I was watching the movie from my own home! For a Friday night, the theatre was pretty empty. We were surprised that it was only us and two other women who ended up watching the movie. If I lived in Belfast, I'd definitely frequent this movie theatre, solely because of these large, comfy, recliner seats.

Do you ever buy sweet popcorn and only one in every twenty of the popped corns actually taste good and not like old warm card board. Well with movie house popcorn three in every four popped corns are as sweet as it can get... Also another reason to go here is that they have the most choice...so if your taking a gamble you'll be more certain to find a flick you like.

There is nothing like heading to the cinema to see a good flick, and the Movie House Cinemas are a…read morelittle Norn Iron group of cinemas that do the job. I'm actually quite a fan of them compared to other cinemas in Belfast, because they really do have some good points. The parking is free, the sweets, popcorn, chocolate, ice cream, nachos (oh GOD how I love the nachos!) are all reasonably priced, and there are loads of screens and you can book in advance and avoid all the queues especially if there is a popular movie on. What I don't like about it is there is a massive pile of stairs to get up in order to see your movie, it's like you have to prove you are fit enough to eat that massive pile of popcorn once you get to the top. The seating isn't quite as swanky or comfortable as the Odyssey cinema, but it's good enough, and they do Crazy Tuesdays - which sometimes really are Crazy - but good value for money. Not a bad place to go to see Brad Pitt and wish you lived in Hollywood...

There's always an air of excitement when Belfast Film Festival begins and this year has been no…read moredifferent. With the Northern Irish film Industry booming it seems like this year's festival will be a celebration of the talent that we have on these shores. The Belfast Film Festival organisers are excellent at promoting local venues and businesses. For instance last night I attended a special screening of Network aptly shown in a BBC studio at Balckstaff House. The venue was a perfect compliment to the movie and this is the beauty of The Belfast Film Festival - it provides a cinematic experience. The local promotion didn't stop there as Fratelli's hosted the pre movie drinks. It's fantastic to see a festival and local businesses work together to promote all Belfast has to offer. Venues include QFT, The Black Box and Moviehouse on the Dublin Road. This is the 15th year of The Belfast Film Festival and it's running from 16th April - 25th April - so if you want to see some local talent in the big screen or just want to see some local venues in a different light then look no further.

Belfast Film Festival takes place every year in April for two weeks…read more The programme is usually very varied, so it's hard to describe it exactly. Basically though, you can expect every kind of film; comedy, sci-fi, art house, horror, classic and there's usually a strong local or Irish feel about it too. The movies are screened in venues all over the city, some conventional cinemas and some more unconventional venues (like on a boat going on the Lagan for instance!) For proper film buffs, there are talks and workshops as well. There's generally something for everyone and it's a great chance to see some interesting films in unusual settings. There are also special events that take place during the rest of the year, so it's always worth keeping an eye on the website to see if there's anything on.

Beautiful concert venue within easy walking distance of Belfast city centre. The concert we…read moreattended was one of the worst I've suffered through in my life. As a result I spent a lot of time appreciating the venue instead. The way the seats are tiered and arranged in blocks around a gentle semi-circle facing the stage meant that there appeared to be very few, if any, 'bad' seats. The illusion of intimacy and closeness to the action was apparent everywhere. The sound system was superb, sadly given the rubbish on-stage, the seats were very comfortable and the bar was, thankfully, only a few steps from where we were seated. A very subdued crowd gratefully exited the venue in only a few minutes at the end. We returned to the city centre for a deserved nightcap in shocked silence. Seriously though, this is a great spot for a concert.
