I visited the Richmond cinema yesterday with my boyfriend and our friend and we all share the same opinion. The building itself is nice, unfortunately the screen was much smaller than I expected (screen 1). That wouldn't be too bad, if the lights above our heads weren't on the whole time! I found that very annoying. I understand that the stairs must be visible, but this was way too bright. Another thing that made me enjoy the movie less was not loud enough sound (and I really hate listening to people eating popcorn).
We all know that food/drinks prices are incredibly high in all cinemas, but I am sorry almost 8 pounds for popcorn is just silly.
At last, my boyfriend is in Army so he asked if there is any discount with his special ID. There is not, which I would understand if students didn't get discounts though, absolutely ridiculous!
Unfortunately I must say I was disappointed with this cinema. And talking about cinemas in general maybe if the prices were a bit lower, people would not pirate movies so much, don't you think? read more
