First time going to the cinemas in the UK and loved the experience. It was pretty easy to book a ticket online, and there was still plenty of seating even when we booked it for a movie the day of. Was a bit worried that we weren't going to see the screen very well because we were in the second row, but the chairs reclined back enough so that it didn't really matter where you were sitting in the theater. You can definitely comfortably see the whole screen wherever you are sitting.
Here are some of my observations:
- The food here, like any other movie theater, is insanely expensive. A popcorn and slushie was £12 which was quite ridiculous given that you can get that for under £3 at a supermarket. I will say that the slushie was quite good but the popcorn was flavorless. But then again, its Europe and people are a little bit more health conscious with how much sugar and salt food items have.
- I don't think they care very much if you bring your own food into the theater. Only thing is that they don't have utensils, so just be a bit mindful of that.
- While the end credits are rolling, the theater doesn't turn its lights on.
Overall, great experience at Vue even though the food is super expensive. Next time, I will just bring my own into the theater. read more
