This was the best Saturday night alone in a strange town I've had in a long time. The movie wasn't…read moreone I had been interested in (Stuber), but the theatre looked so fun I thought, "Why not?" It certainly beat staying in my hotel room. I got there a little early and ordered a glass of wine at the bar, which also has beer, whiskey, and the like. They have popcorn available in both sweet and salty (or mixed, if you're like me). There were some locals there having a drink as well, and it was great! The theatre is all painted in murals, with fun old-fashioned seats and a very good visual and sound systems -- super up-to-date -- and I was able to take my wine and popcorn with me into the theatre to enjoy during the movie. They even have a couch, if you prefer to lounge. Everything was clean and well-taken-care-of, and the prices were amazing. Entry was only £5 (£6 for the balcony). I come from the US, where popcorn is $8, so being able to get a nice glass of wine and a good-sized box of popcorn for £7 was great. All in all, this is a fun night out in an unexpected and quirky place, and I'd even suggest it for families, as it's inexpensive enough to take everyone, and super fun.

Tyranny of choice... Begone!…read more There's a fundamental law of quantum uncertainty that states any cinema trip involving more than one person necessitates a lengthy debate about which film to see, followed by torturous scheduling to to fit everyone's needs, which is all ultimately thrown into disarray by a change of dinner plans. Net result: Headache and resolve to catch said film on DVD when it comes out. Well, suffer the paralysis of options no more. The Commodore Cinema shows one film a week, once a day. You don't want to see The Wolfman at 7.30 (and trust me you don't want to see The Wolfman, ever)? Then bloody well do something else. But this cinema doesn't get 5-stars for pared-down simplicity. No, here's the reasons the Commodore rocks: 1. There's a bar downstairs. You can take your drink into the theatre. 2. What, you want more than that? OK, I paid £4.50 to see Avatar on a Friday night - the same ticket in London was easily three times that. It's cheaper again on Mondays and for students, OAPs and other non-contributing members of society. Like dogs and stuff. 3. After the trailers are done there's a little break so you can pop to the loo and wander down to the little kiosk at the front of the cinema. Refreshingly, popcorn and drinks are not at 200% multiplex mark-up prices. Sweet.

A wonderfully quaint little cinema, the Commodore is one of those places that reminds me of a…read moresimpler time. A time before I was born. The single screen comfortably holds a large number, though I have seen people turned away on opening nights, and queues have looped along the entire street outside the cinema. The food is reasonably priced and the staff friendly, while the screen and sound are more than adequate. The cinema can become hot during the summer, and there are often kids (or students) running around to ruin the experience. However, it's worth going just for the old-fashioned experience. And because there's no alternative.

It's never cold in the winter or over hot in the summer like some cinemas. The smaller screening room is tiny with those smaller standard cinemas seats that seem to be too close to the seats infront. It's definitely cosy in there. The sound system in this smaller room isn't great, it's a bit tinny. They only allow you to consume food purchased at the cinema and it's severely over priced. 2 drinks, 2 bags of sweets cost me the same as two adult tickets.

Nice comfy seats in the main screen, the second screen has the older style seats, for me that adds to the ambience. Films change on Friday, I usually go mid week and the cinema is never crowded. Ticket prices are reasonable, I wouldn't say the refreshments are expensive I got popcorn, sweets and a soft drink for about £3 which I don't think is too bad. I'd like a bigger selection of chocolates to choose from though.

The cinema itself is very modern, with 8 screens using the latest film technology, and the seats are comfortable and spacious. There is wheelchair access and seats in the front row that are suitable for the disabled. Inside the cinema there's an ice-cream stall, a popcorn counter in the middle of the foyer, a hot dog counter and a Pick 'n' Mix style sweet shop. Of course, these prices are all extortionate and whilst it costs £6.60 for an adult ticket to see the film, it costs almost as much for a tub of popcorn. Outside the cinema, which is located in a leisure park on the outskirts of Llandudno Junction, there's a McDonalds, a KFC, a Pizza Hut, a Frankie & Benny's and several other eateries. The price to see the film is actually quite reasonable, I believe, but the extras let the whole experience down.
