Heretic Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah, the only Vue I know of is the one in Leicester Square, and Westfield shopping centre, which I think is one of the busiest cinemas in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've only been to a Vue once in the last 10 years, that was the one in Staines. It was actually pretty nice, especially compared to the cinemas around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Really? That's interesting.Jonwo, where are you situated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Their IMAX network is rising quickly. 3 so far in Sheffield, Crawley (AWESOME) and Edinburgh. There's 2 more coming for Bond in Birmingham and Ipswich and another soon in Enfield I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCS Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah, the only Vue I know of is the one in Leicester Square, and Westfield shopping centre, which I think is one of the busiest cinemas in the UK.Correct, VUE Westfield White City is the biggest, busiest and #1 grossing cinema in the UK. Always check there to get an idea of how well a film is doing.http://www.myvue.com/home/cinema/westfieldThe strange thing is, there is another huge VUE around 500metres away. Don't know how/why VUE keep two big multiplexes open right next to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 You unlimited then Jonwo?Yup, it's is a great investment and I've been able to watch films which I wouldn't normally watch had I paid actual money like Untouchable plus discounts on food and the screenings.

SchumacherFTW Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I know what you mean, I've had some serious surprises thanks to my card, my biggest of which was probably The Sorcerers Apprentice. Can't wait to get my premium one next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchumacherFTW Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh cool! Cineworld sounds better than Odeon... You should try out the one at the O2. The Sky Superscreen is massive, and they have D-Box which is worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SchumacherFTW Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 It's seating that moves in syncnronisation with the film, it's awesome if you get the right kind of film. My girl and I saw The Expendables 2 in D-Box and it really added to it. I didn't realise Odeon were rolling it out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are prices much higher for D-Box?I've decided I'm gonna try and see Skyfall at Leicester Square Odeon. Love that place so much. It's overpriced like shit, but the experience you get with 1,700 people is just sensational. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I know what you mean, I've had some serious surprises thanks to my card, my biggest of which was probably The Sorcerers Apprentice. Can't wait to get my premium one next month.I find Cineworld tend to show a broader range of films compared to other chains. My biggest surprises were smaller films like Untouchable, Shadow Dancer rather than blockbusters. I do occasionally pay for films like at the IMAX but the experience at the IMAX is worth every penny.

I saw Avatar and The Phantom Menace there. Avatar was because we missed our OD show at the BFI IMAX (fucking snow), was shocked at the £16.50 price tag.

But for a big film, it's an unbeatable experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely get any small films here. The unlimited card screenings are nice, but too tricky for me to get to, hence why I won't be seeing Ruby Sparks on Tuesday. The most out of sorts films we've had this yesr were The Raid and one day shows of Marley and Samsara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
