When talking about cinematic experiences in the North, let alone the area, one has to shout loud and proud about the IMAX. The IMAX is part of the National Media Museum but deserves it's own proud place in our ever beautiful Yelp listings. It is only one of a handful of IMAX cinemas in the world and it's ours. Go on do a little dance for me, go on. What you get is some unbelievable moments of 3D documentaries and films and also 2D is pretty hot on the massive screen. For me though you have to utilise all of its strengths so definitely check out a 3D option. Especially with the current trend of making everything for the 3D market, you'll soon be spoilt for choice. One of the last Hollywood blockbusters to show there was the last Harry Potter film but I'm more than a little giddy that Alice in Wonderland is next up. I'm so excited about that one that I may need to section myself, sedate myself or run head first into a door. Johnny Depp in 3D and at that size!?! What is not to die happy about? It does get booked up well in advance so make sure you book online or at the museum if you have a specific time in mind. This is how film should be watched, so do yourself a favour and enjoy it to the (I)max. See what I did there, aren't I clever.

The IMAX screen has to be experienced to be believed - it really is MASSIVE, and coupled with the…read morefantastic surround sound system and highly ramped seating, you are guaranteed a good view even if an extremely tall man decides to sit in the seat in front of you (don't they always!) I wouldn't actually recommend your first film is one of the IMAX specials such as to fly and dinosaurs etc as they are quite expensive and also very short (usually about half an hour to three quarters of an hour). Much better would be to see a 'proper' film in it's IMAX version - although only a small percentage of films are shot in IMAX, they really do take your breath away. The Dark Knight has some fantastic IMAX scenes, and at Christmas you really, really HAVE to watch The Polar Express at the IMAX and in 3D too! Oh yes, the IMAX is capable of 3D! It's not your average 3D too, it's actually in-your-face, amazing and quite brilliant 3D! We saw the latest Harry Potter at the IMAX, and even though only some of the scenes were in 3D, the end fight with all the magic and explosions was truly breathtaking. My only quibble would be if you are taking young children to watch a 3D IMAX film, they may be a bit overawed by it all and refuse to put on their glasses which will leave them watching them a blurred image which they'll quickly grow bored of (it happened to one of our party) - but otherwise it's a great experience! Definitely a jewel in Bradford!

Yes, yes I know we're still in Bradford but this is another little pearler that deserves much kudos. It's a fantastic cinema and is a joy to visit. To start with it has a bar. I mean a proper bar here, not your multi-plex excuse of a bar. You can get nice wine, good beer and excellent hot drinks. They'll even serve them up in plastic vessels so you can take them into the show. As for the cinema itself, it's a joy. Simple as that. The seats are all planned to give every viewer a great angle and to maximise your viewing experience. The actual screen has great visual quality and the sound system is also a good draw. For me it's the film choices that really put it hands above many other places in West Yorkshire . You'll be able to see all the Indie films that don't make it across the main stream cinemas and you'll also have a choice of foreign films as well as some of the bigger players. Then you've got the various film festivals that bring in directors, premieres and some of the finest animation available. It's film Jim but not as we know it. Do yourself a favour and check out some delightful films that may otherwise creep under your radar. Immense cinema, that's all you need to know.

Bradford Leisure Exchange, Vicar Lane,…read more Bradford , BD1 5LD ADVANCE BOOKING BY PHONE 0871 200 2000 phone booking isnt recommended as it is such a hassle. based in the busy leisure exchange this cinema gets very busy at times so be prepared to queue for the more popular films there are 16 screens, one of which is deluxe for which you pay about a quid more but it does have its own toilet facilities and a bar which isnt normalls stocked and you do have to go out to main bar and order from there which is quite a hassle.the deluxe is comfier and you get more leg room but not many films are shown on it the cinema has full disabled access and spaces for wheelchair users down the bottom of the screens. the screens are quite large and there are up to date speakers and hearing loops in mostthe seats are quite comfy but not much leg room ticket prices vary on which time and day you go but are usually about £5 for kids and students and about £6 for adults, except on wednesdays when most tickets are about £3 for kids and £4 for adults you can buy a card that gives you unlimited monthly access for about £17 which if you are a frequent cinemagoer it is well worth it the food/drink is quite dear but they have just alately began adding cheaper versions of icecreams and vending machines for bottles of pop, which is much better. the staff are always on hand and there are security guards about incase you want help dealing with unruly ignorant cinemagoers.they do a check every so often in each screen which helps

Now the reason I've held back from unleashing this baby before is because it's in Bradford . Not that there is anything wrong with Bradford but I'm a Leeds lover. This however needs to be visited. How many places in Yorkshire can actually stick the world National in their title? Exactly, that's why we need to spread the word. To begin with it's a bargain. All you pay is a donation that you feel happy with. Win, win! Don't be cheap now; you know it's worth it if Cheryl Cole is. Then it's time to explore. It's a celebration of most things television, film and photography. You'll find several floors exploring each genre and it's hands-on fun for kids and big kids alike. By far the best bit is reading the news and playing with the cameras and auto cues. You may disagree with that if you love your Thunderbirds and the like though with exhibits and various shows to watch. The photography is diverse and the exhibitions change every few months or so. Don't miss out the interactive exploring zone either and even have a peak at some Radio Leeds people doing their thing, as one of their remote studios is housed in the building. Don't be put off; this is a top quality museum and one that should be explored.

Very fine media museum, Bradford's No.1 tourist attraction…read more This modern museum devoted to photography and broadcasting is just 5-7 minutes from the central station, and it should be your No.1 stop when you're visiting Bradford. Each floor is dedicated to a different form of media or media content, and I do recommend you start in the basement, which is the Kodak history of photography exhibit. It's easily the most impressive part of the museum. There's a plethora of historic cameras, with tons of information on the technological development of photography from metal plates to modern digital cameras. It's all lovingly presented, and there's a special presentation for the small fry several times a day. Another floor deals with the history of radio and television, again supported with a large number of historic TV cameras and radio transmitters. All very well done. The top floor is dedicated to media content, namely exhibits from some of Britain's most popular TV programs, from Dr. Who and the Daleks to Wallace and Gromit (including the only surviving miniature set from the original short films - the studio was destroyed in a fire some years ago). There are even some puppets from Gerry Anderson's 1960s animated sci-fi shows (like Captain Scarlet). Some illustrations from Tom & Jerry and other animated films will inform you about how this kind of shorts/films was made in "the old days". A temporary exhibition during my visit was a sparse but intriguing collection of items from the films of French avantgarde artist Jean Cocteau.

Please form an orderly queue for the Bradford International Film Festival. It's the 16th annual film jubilee and opens your world to some hidden gems and quite alluring offerings from around the globe. This year I'm excited to announce that there will also be visits from guests including John Hurt, Nicolas Roeg, Imelda Staunton and Fernando Meirelles. Now the latter really excites me as he is the genius behind the quite illustrious City of God. That's the Brazilian drugs coming of age film of 2002 for those of you who haven't seen it and if you haven't then you must. As simple as that, it is a modern day classic. The chance to witness If Sao Paulo isn't exotic enough for you then there are examples from France and Italy to Mexico and the USA. It really is a mix of all things and will give you exclusive access to many movies that would not even hit your radar. I cannot use enough superlatives for the National Media Museum and their continual pushing of extremely high calibre boundaries and once again they've come out a conquering hero. An absolute must for anyone who likes their film a little more left field and even for those who don't. Exceptional. It runs March 18th until March 28th. Booking is also essential for many events and films.
