Tonight I have been to see Capt Philips with Tom Hanks in the starring role, however what marred the occasion was freezing my butt off, normally you arrive at the cinema with a coat & then have no where to put it & tonight it was raining on arrival but managed to park really close so didn't need it. How wrong was I. I'm afraid It's back to the multi-plex in Teesside for a more enjoyable viewing experience in the warm.

I was disappointed to see so few people using it but it was a 5.30 showing on a Saturday afternoon so not the usual time that most people venture out. They have tried making clubs for Mums & Toddlers, OAP's, etc. which means that it does get used at different times. While prices for tickets are quite high the place was clean and staff friendly when they'd stopped talking amoungst themselves.

The palace cinema used to be a great place to go, but since then they have made what used to be…read morequite a large screen (for a small town anyway) into two separate ones. When it first had its grand reopening it was really busy but on the first showing it was so hot that most people had to leave, one person even fainted! It was much better before they split the screen up. Now it is much too small to enjoy a film as much.. On the upside, it is cheaper than most of the major cinemas and it doesn't get the new blockbusters too much later than the main ones, but obviously can't show as many at once so doesn't get all of them. The seats are comfortable, drink/food is relatively cheap if you compare it to a normal cinema, but still expensive.

I know cinemas have a reputation for being a lot of money, but this is the most expensive one i have been to before. The only way you could really get your moneys worth is if you went to the cinema more than a few times a month then you could get an unlimited pass. otherwise its an expensive night out. On the other hand the actual screen are very good, seats are the comfiest I have ever seen in a cinema.

They also have a lovely Ben & Jerry's ice-cream counter that serve sundaes and gorgeous ice-cream milkshakes. If you're going in the late afternoon/evening on a popular day (e.g. Fridays, weekends or Orange Wednesdays) then there can be quite a long queue for tickets but it moves quite quickly. There's plenty of leg room but the floor can get messy/sticky so be careful about putting your handbag under your seat (mine got covered in chocolate sauce once!) There's a bar upstairs but during busy times the seating is very limited.

It is quite confusing to get to as you almost appear to be driving past it to get into it so if you're a driving visitor to the area I would recommend looking up the route before you go. The cinema is a really big complex right near a pizza hut. The area it's built on looks really modern with big sandy stones. Parking is free. Inside it's pretty much like other vue cinemas, a huge blue decorated entrance room with the big pink neon signs and a door to the left which direct you through to the screens. The prices aren't really that cheap for the area - there are cheaper cinemas in Middlesbrough but of course that's a little out of the way so you might be better saving on petrol costs! I think it's around £6 for a student ticket which is what I get and a bit more for adult prices. The vue cinema has a really cool aura to it once you go through to the screens - the lights are all dimmed and each screen is indicated by a large bright pink neon number. Beware though - some of the screens are hidden round bits of protruding wall. The screens are all really nice with the seats arranged so that each row is much higher than the next in order for people who a tiny to be able to see! There are also some boosters you can use for particularly small children who might struggle to see. The actual screen is massive so I would advise not sitting near the front. Refreshements aren't cheap but you can't take in your own. Overall it's a bit expensive for me and I only tend to go if its for a specific reason.

The building is non-descript but when the light's just right it seems ok, with the roar from the flyover to the right. The foyer is enormous and so is the popcorn!! The screens vary in size, but it still feels a bit like you're being herded in somewhere to die, because although the outside is curved, the corridors inside are straight lines (if i remember correctly). Every christmas for a few years we all had to go and watch the lord of the rings films here. Three hours of pure agony for different reasons.
