There are 5 small but perfectly formed screen rooms and I can't praise enough the person who has the faith to put money into this terrific venture. The big guns of the cinema world will be sitting up and taking note. It really is possible to have a night at the movies without spending a blooming fortune! Well done guys and gals.

Living in Cwmbran, whenever I wanted to catch a film in the cinema I'm pretty much limited to this…read moreoption unless I want to travel to further out of town. With that into consideration, I suppose I can't really complain about how convenient is. After all, it is in a fantastic location right in the Cwmbran Shopping Centre. However, there are negative bits. ~ Location: As mentioned before, the location is fantastic. It is just in the Cwmbran Shopping Centre, so it could make for a pretty full trip out. There's plenty of restaurants and shopping to do nearby, so when heading to the cinema, you can quite easily make a day of it. ~ Customer Service: I've had no problems with the customer service here. Everyone I've interacted with has been very friendly and welcoming. The main reason why I'm not a huge fan is purely because the size of the place is extremely lackluster. This cinema is very limited in terms of what films are shown and sometimes there would even be very popular films you are keen to see, but not shown at all so you have to head elsewhere. For instance, I wanted to watch How to Train Your Dragon 2, which you would think would be quite popular with kids especially, but Vue just completely neglected to have it on schedule. Instead, they opted for really obscure features such as random recordings of theatre performances. If you're planning to make a trip to the cinema with a specific film in mind, I highly recommend checking out the Vue website for Cwmbran specifically just to make sure it's showing. Otherwise, you might be in for a very disappointing surprise!

This is a pretty bog standard multiplex, though be warned, it's located in a fairly chavy area…read morewhich has two implications: a) you may find yourself having to ask your fellow patrons to stop talking/not answer their phones during the film (believe it or not, the second exchange actually happened to me a few months back); and the selection of films on offer rarely threatens to excite the judges at Cannes. However, I go on an all too regular basis due to one fact: they run an 'Unlimited' scheme where you pay £13.50 a month which allows you to go as often as you want. This is very much a double-edged sword, as I often drag myself to see something I don't really fancy and get a pleasant surprise (Coco Before Chanel), but I also regularly convince myself to give something a go and it turns out to be utter shit (The Time Traveller's Wife). Still it's a bargain either way, though if you're not prepared for that kind of commitment, you may wish to know that Tuesday offers reduced entry all day, and Wednesday is, of course, an Orange affair.

You won't find anything alternative or off what would be widely regarded as mainstream. This one in Hengrove is particularly dodgy as firstly and foremost, it is in Hengrove and therefore frequented by local chavs who seem to go to the cinema purely to see how annoying they can be. And secondly, this one is in need of a makeover. I'm not entirely sure how long it has been here, but some of the screening rooms have dodgy sound and thread bare seats. If you can watch the film you want to see someplace else, then by all means do.

Furthurmore, they will only sell tickets to customers actually standing in the box office. Five of us tried to pay for 8 tickets,as 3 of our party were sitting in the pub accross the road as one of them had a broken leg and couldn't stand, but the staff wouldn't let us buy them and made our friends go to the back of the queue. The attitude was incredible - so rude. It's a shame, because it is a beautiful little cinema. I will never go there again. But that's not all. They randomly stopped our film in the middle with an interval to sell ice-cream. I realise that the local cinema is becoming a thing of the past and while it pains me to say so, next time I will be going to the nearest multi-plex.
