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.

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.

Our nearest city cinema is about 40 minute drive away - and about 40 miles. The cinema is located near the top of the high street - it has 1 screen!!

The seats are uncomfortable (unless you pay for the extortionate 'director' chairs) the food is expensive and the clientele is often noisy and annoying. I'm not a fan of going to the cinema anyway, and the Odeon in Bath does little to restore my faith. The staff are always polite and chatty, but that's one of the few upsides to this cinematic experiences. I'd advised popping down the road to the much more interesting Little Theatre, where you'll probably see the same films in a much better setting.

The screen sizes aren't bad either, when compared to, say, the Odeon in the centre of Bristol. It is on the expensive side and it's not the place to come if you're interested in seeing any foreign films, but if you're just in the mood to see the latest Harry Potter blockbuster then it'll serve you well. Just make sure to avoid the popcorn and pic'n'mix section at all costs, unless you enjoy haemorrhaging money, that is, and book your tickets online to avoid the queues.

The auditorium has been designed to promote exceptional acoustic qualities and has a high degree of flexibility in terms of layout through the removal of seating. Seats can be taken away to create an Orchestra Pit or even to extend the stage and create an extended apron or partial thrust. Far from being exclusively a theatre for performances, the space also offers versatile conference and lecturing facilities, with the ability to close off the stage behind sound proof doors. A cinema standard projector and screen enable presentations and films to be shown with the benefit of the sound system without impacting on other events you may choose to run on stage. The Prospect Theatre is set at the heart of our facilities at the end of the striking atrium and adjacent to the restaurant, all facilities which can be made available as a part of your package. The space itself is served with two green rooms, both of which have the ability to screen the stage action on the wall and playback live sound from the stage to ensure your company don't miss a thing, or their cue!

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.

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.
