Empire cinemas, Bishop's Stortford…read more I suppose this is much the same as any cineplex cinema complex in any town, with 6 or so screens showing a selection of the most popular films, family favourites and not a great deal else. This cinema was originally part of the Cineworld chain, but the monopolies commission ordered them to break the business up and Stortford's cinema was one of the ones that got thrown out. As a result, we sometimes miss out on some of the bigger chain's offers, such as the ability to use Nectar points, and other discounts. Popcorn and Cokes etc are the usual over-priced fare, but you can get some meal deals, and all in all it's fairly typical of the cineplex experience!

No trouble parking as served by large carpark. Only whine which relates to the Odeon chain itself I'm sure is the food pricing - eye watering - and sound levels of the films - deafening at times !

This is my local cinema and I have been coming here for quite some time now. The good thing about…read morethis place is that it's a bit out of the way so it's generally not too busy. The bad thing about this place is ALSO that it's a bit out of the way so it's not that easy to get to. Even though it's next to a leisure/sports centre it's not very well served by public transport (there's only 1 bus) so unless you drive it's difficult to just pop by after work, but they do have plenty of parking space if you do drive. It's a big enough multiplex from the odeon chain so you get a good selection of 2D & 3D movies. As with most other cinemas... avoid the snack/sweets/popcorn.

I once wrote to Vue Management to complain about Vue in Romford. The seats were soaked in God-knows…read morewhat, the screens were covered in mess, there was popcorn everywhere, the projector was projecting wrong, there were balloons randomly in the theatre blocking the top corner of the screen. Their response was at least honest; "Unfortunately, due to the clientele in Romford it is difficult for us to maintain a consistently high quality" - and I believe them. The Vue in Romford is decent as Multiplexes go; but the problem comes when you find lots of kids who'd rather text each other across the room and make random turrets type noises than watch a movie. We used to avoid this by going to screenings at 11pm. But we found that although the kids were gone, their mess wasn't. I complained a much of times and to be fair to them, I got a few free tickets-- but it got to the point where I'd rather pay to go somewhere else and not have to sit on someones unwanted popcorn. Cinematically; the films are presented well; good sound and good size screens; but often you'll find coke splashed on screens or my biggest problem; holes in the screen (meaning shiny bright sparkling areas). A cinema that tries to be good but doesn't quite pull it off. Go elsewhere.

This Vue cinema is great, you can either buy your tickets downstairs from a dedicated ticket desk,…read moreor go up some escalators and buy your tickets with your popcorn, or you also have the choice of buying them online and collecting them from a ticket machine. In the main lobby, you have a Ben & Jerry's stand from where you can get some yummy ice cream, next to the stand they have a selection of pick and mix. The lobby looks nice, but is always pretty busy during the evenings so I suggest getting there early. As Paul mentioned there is a lack of food, but to be honest there aren't many cinemas that do a huge range. As this is near a shopping complex there are a few places you can go to eat. I am a huge popcorn fan, and Vue does do tasty popcorn. The screens are good and the seats are comfortable, this Vue is great to watch any film =)

When this was your typical flea pit cinema, it was still a wonderful place to visit. I remember…read morecoming out of seeing Return Of The Jedi pretending I was an ewok, excitedly leaving after watching Marty McFly in Back To The Future and being less than enamored with Flight Of The Navigator - well you get the picture. Then it fell into disrepair and became a place you dared your mates to break into during the late 1980s after school had finished. Now, The Rex (as all good cinemas should be called) has been restored to its former glory. When I say former, think 1930s Art Deco, plush red seating, original projector and art house matinées. The place is a treat and a MUST visit for any cineophile. Prices are reasonable (approx £7 at time of writing) but availability is tough. You need to quick on the phone as it seems every person in Berkhamsted is a paid up member. Before each performance (and they are performances!) you can relax in the lobby where there are books on film to paw over or head down stairs and grab yourself a beer or a glass of wine. It's that sort of place. Do make sure you get to your seat in time for the traditional, and I found informative, pre film introduction from the Manager, James. A proud, curious creature James embodies the character behind this most charming of movie houses.

We went to see 500 Days of Summer (also excellent by the way!) and I gasped out loud as I walked into the Screen. It was HUGE! The screen was tremendous and there were approx a gazillion seats. Lovely, modern, clean, wonderful image quality, superb audio. Tremendous all around. I am not sure if it was due to the quality of the film or the superiority of the cinema design but despite the size it was a very intimate and personal experience. Sweet popcorn was great too. (Yes the cardboard style popcorn, whatever! Judge me :) ) I wish it was nearer London but as I often travel to Oxford I'll be making a stop here on my way past as often as I can. Due to being in the Eden shopping centre there are plenty of restaurants, shops & starbucks about too... ps. I had a hotdog!! I hadn't eaten for ages and the staff looked like they could do with some help meeting their sales targets. They were nice. Ok I had two but I don't recommend them cause I was too hungry to be a fair judge.

I traveled to London with my…read morebrother, and happened across the ad for That Amazing Place with an incredible price, about 30%cheaper than any of the hotels in the area (including everything from the Stansted Airport to London's main attractions). Had I made the reservation more than just on the train ride from the airport to Harlow, the owner would have picked my brother and I up. However, I took a cab for £10 (including tip) from the train station to That Amazing Place. It was already dark when we arrived, and it was a little difficult to find. However, once we got there it was beautiful! After housing several foster boys, the couple that owns the house decided to renovate and make an inn. They have several rooms for TV, lounging, eating, etc. for common areas. Our own room was very nice. White sheets, two TWIN beds- which was great for my brother and I traveling together. In the morning we ate a breakfast, free of charge, complete with yogurt, cereals, oatmeals, and freshly cooked/made to order eggs, bacon and toast. It was delicious. The dining room was beautiful! We were so pampered during our few hours there! Had we been able to stay longer I definitely would have! They also have a hot tub available outside. We did not use it- the weather was very foggy and uncomfortable outside. In the morning, the owner drove us back to the train station free of charge. He sent us off with some advice for city travel, and a hug with well wishes. Again- by far the BEST place I have ever stayed on so many levels!
