Always good value and not looking to rip you off. Highly recommend every time. Good seats and soundread more

I've been to Vue at Cribbs a fair few times over the years but it had been a while before I went…read moreagain on Saturday. I took my girls hot on the heels of our successful family day out the previous weekend to our local, single screen cinema. What a contrast! The entrance was fancy, the door to each screen had a great big number and star handle entrance. The screen was big and the seats were laid out well but that's as good as it got. The snacks area was deserted and having spent quite a few minutes looking for the prices of popcorn I reluctantly approached the counter to ask the price. Unsurprisingly the popcorn was very expensive but what bugged me was Vue's reluctance to clearly state what their prices were. The only thing across the top signs (like the ones you get in McDonalds) was their combo meal. Pointing this out to the member of staff who served me I was told it wasn't him who chose what goes up there. True but he could have passed on my feedback or at least act like he hasn't been told that a million times. There were two options of sizes of popcorn, 30p difference in cost between the two. So no one is going to choose the smaller size. What a choice you offer Vue. The price of the ticket was gobsmacking after my local cinema, especially for a Dad taking two young children. Going in, the cinema was empty, I would guess 10% full. Why not reduce tickets for children during the day for certain young children films. Get kids in to going to the cinema and then you can make money out of them later. Sell small children portion snacks and you'll make some of that money back. Oh and my seat was dirty. Even the VIP seats looked average compared to other places I've been. Well I won't be returning if I have a choice but I'm not turning my back on going to the cinema, there are cheaper and better options out there. Start thinking about your customer experience Vue because that's the difference between sitting at home, watching illegally downloaded films and going to the cinema.

This is a pretty bog standard multiplex, though be warned, it's located in a fairly chavy area…read morewhich has two implications: a) you may find yourself having to ask your fellow patrons to stop talking/not answer their phones during the film (believe it or not, the second exchange actually happened to me a few months back); and the selection of films on offer rarely threatens to excite the judges at Cannes. However, I go on an all too regular basis due to one fact: they run an 'Unlimited' scheme where you pay £13.50 a month which allows you to go as often as you want. This is very much a double-edged sword, as I often drag myself to see something I don't really fancy and get a pleasant surprise (Coco Before Chanel), but I also regularly convince myself to give something a go and it turns out to be utter shit (The Time Traveller's Wife). Still it's a bargain either way, though if you're not prepared for that kind of commitment, you may wish to know that Tuesday offers reduced entry all day, and Wednesday is, of course, an Orange affair.

This is a chain cinema in the mould of a Showcase or an Odeon so expect very large screening rooms…read moreplaying big budget Hollywood flicks to your casual cinema goer. You won't find anything alternative or off what would be widely regarded as mainstream. This one in Hengrove is particularly dodgy as firstly and foremost, it is in Hengrove and therefore frequented by local chavs who seem to go to the cinema purely to see how annoying they can be. And secondly, this one is in need of a makeover. I'm not entirely sure how long it has been here, but some of the screening rooms have dodgy sound and thread bare seats. If you can watch the film you want to see someplace else, then by all means do.

This is one of my local cinemas - set inside a 'leisure' park part of Longwell Green's set of…read moreretail parks. This Vue for some reason has completely abandoned their ticket office and you have to buy tickets from the ice cream stall which, if someone actually wants ice cream, means that it can take forever to get through the queue. Tickets are quite expensive and a bag of Minstrels will set you back over £3! They also have a band of leather seats across the upper middle of the screening rooms which you have to pay extra for - I come here maybe once a week and I have NEVER seen anyone sat in these seats - why do they bother? The staff have even stopped trying to push the 'luxury' seating on to us as we buy tickets so they can't be impressed either. Sadly when they do a special screening (this week was American Werewolf in London - fantastic) it goes down like a lead balloon (5 people in that showing) so they don't do it very often. Does what it does good enough.

I get the feeling these things come in flat packs, complete with popcorn machine, questionable…read morecarpets, and no character whatsoever. With that said, it's actually pretty good. They've got plenty on offer, I counted 12 films showing last time I went. The showings run late as well, with films starting at midnight. It's obviously a bit of a trek getting out to Cribbs Causeway. Probably not worth the hassle unless you've got a car given Bristol's got the Showcase and Odeon in town. There's plenty of free parking. Popcorn is horrifically over priced, as you would expect. You can also buy Ben and Jerries ice cream, which is pretty cool. At £6.65 for an evening showing it's not that cheap but not too bad. The cinemas themselves are really good. Big comfy seats and big screens. It's usually fairly empty as well, you'll probably have a couple of rows to yourself. Don't get taken in by the 'VIP' seats. They do some films in 3D, which is pretty cool. However, I'm yet to see anything I like being shown in 3D. Vue is a souless multiplex but a fairly good one.
