    Excellent cinema. New seating makes it very comfortable and the ticket and snack prices are brilliant especially when taking a family

    Bit of a dive really. Some good events. Small screens too small. They are supposed to be refurbishing 2009 and i for one cannot wait.

    Odeon Cinema Switch Island - THE BIG ASS MELON IS ONE OF THE WORKERS

    My sister-in-law has one of the unlimited passes to Odeon, so she's been to this cinema a lot…read more She told me this Odeon cinema was recently been redone, so while it didn't used to be busy, now it's quite a popular cinema! We experienced that when we went last week unfortunately. The reason is it's so busy is because there's much less seating now, but that's because all the seats are big, comfy recliners! They are awesome! Each seat gets its own little snack table as well. The seats recline and pop up with a foot rest. They are very comfortable -- perhaps a little too comfortable. I was still experiencing jet lag from our flight over, so I fell asleep several times during the film, but granted, the film didn't end until nearly midnight! It was so crowded that we had to wait an hour for the next available showing of the film we were trying to see. You can book your seats online though (we couldn't do that this time since my mother-in-law had a voucher she wanted to use, which coincedently, didn't even end up being valid since this was a luxe cinemas. doh!). In the lobby, there's a waiting area and a Costa Coffee inside. There's plenty of parking too. If you need snacks, there's a Home Bargain in the same plaza. In addition to popcorn and candy, the cinema itself also does fries (and probably some other items; I didn't really look). The whole theater smelled of fries when we walked in though. I wish the prices were a bit cheaper, but if you're a local, the unlimited monthly pass seems like a steal. It only costs a little more than the price of one movie to see unlimited films for the whole month. That's great! I also wish there was somewhere for your coat and your purse. I ended up putting my coat on the short wall behind my seat which worked out fine. The theater's seats are tiered, so each row is slightly elevated from the previous row. Each row has a spacious aisle in front of it too, so there's no squeezing past to get to your seat. Plus you have an entire little wall behind your seat (or in front I suppose), to put your cost on. I think they could use a little hook though by your seat for your purse and that would really be perfect! The only other downside is, there were a lot of ads! I don't mean trailers, I mean straight up ads. I thought the movie would start at 9 pm, but the ads started at 9, followed by the trailers, so the movie didn't start for ages which really sucked since I already was so exhausted. Anyway, 4 stars because this is the most comfortable I've ever been at the movies before! Plus the staff were really nice, trying to get my MIL's voucher to work and then trying to work out the best option for tickets with her NHS discount and my grandma-in-law's senior rate.

    It seems rather strange that a city like Chester doesn't have a decent cinema closer than this,…read moreanother cloned multiplex in an out-of-town retail park in the middle of nowhere, but there it is. Actually I say the middle of nowhere, that's just what it felt like during the 20 minute drive in the dark - it's actually on the edge of Ellesmere Port, but that's hardly a hub of civilisation in itself. It's the typical retail park scenario, you know the kind of thing - windy roads, lots of roundabouts, a steady breeze sweeping the tumbleweeds past as you're dazzled by the neon glow from Burger King, Nandos, Pizza Hut, Frankie & Benny's, Bella Italia, and the other usual suspects. The cinema experience itself was just like any other Vue, I just hate this universal trend towards corporate blandness that insists on building these huge conglomerate retail parks in the middle of nowhere.

    This is really the only choice of cinema in the Chester area if you are looing for decent screen…read moresize and a good amount of leg room. It's annoying to get to without a car as the buses can be quite bad and sometimes don't show up at all. If you can get there then it is a far better venue than any cinema nearer to the city. With a large number of screens there are a lot of films on offer at any one time. In fact last time we visited, my wife ended up watching a different film to me, and this worked out great with only a 20 minute wait for one of us. The food is obviously a massive rip off, but that is true of every cinema these days. Luckily the rest of the retail park offers a range of restaurants to suit al tastes so it is worth eating before or after the film rather than spending a similar amount on a drink and some ice cream.

I'm talking the 1941 adaptation of the novel starring Humphrey Bogart. All for a fiver. That's right, £5. I'm guessing it's one. The Woolton Picture House on Mason Street. This cinema, unlike many others, actually opened its doors before the Maltese Falcon hit screens. 26 December 1927, to be exact. I can imagine the excitement now - the stars of the big screen coming to this homely part of south Liverpool. People will have travelled, walked in most cases, from miles around to see films here. My Nan was one of them. Sorry Nan, showing your age! Despite its slightly decrepit outer appearance, it hasn't lost any of the magic. How many modern cinemas have intervals where they come round with affordable ice creams/lollies? No idea, I must confess. But I do know they do here. All part of the experience. I remember watching Nowhere Boy, the film about John Lennon, in the picture house, and one of the scenes was actually set in the very same pictures! Deservedly so, for I'm sure this theatre has touched many lives. A real treat.

    Little by name, little by exterior but certainly not little by nature. This Tardis of a theatre…read morelooks like barely anything from the outside, a narrow bit of building with a sign that makes one whimsical, thinking this is what theatres in urban New York must be like. Once you're inside it might look somewhat dated, it might not have the contemporary architecture or interior design of a lot of bigger, newer theatres these days, but there's a real gutsy David as opposed to Goliath feel to the place and it reminds me of the university theatre my drama group used to borrow for our productions. Yes, I was in a drama group when I was younger, big whoop, wanna fight about it? The Little Theatre just feels homey to me. The decor is rather traditional, the seats are usually red and in the auditorium they're those flippy ones that smack you in the buns when you stand up, and the staff are older than the usual types you get at theatres nowadays but you get the feeling they're working there for a reason - because they care. It's like all those old, beautiful cinemas that have sadly closed down and given way to multiplexes and bingo halls. I hope this never happens to The Little Theatre. People still go there because the stage is more than adequate for any production, be it Shakespeare or family friendly, Miller or Orton, heck, it's practically made for Beckett given the simplicity. And the bar's a really nice well polished area where you can chinwag and grab a nice strong G&T before the show. I think it certainly deserves to be here and alongside Southport's various arts centres and galleries, The Little Theatre stands proud as a symbol of the seaside town's excellent little culture hub. I love it.
