   Wanted to see Wicked part 2 but all the cinemas local to me only had late evening showings - this one turned out to be closer to my work place and had far more regular showings which made it perfect for an after work trip. Comfortable seats with a recline feature which felt like a special treat and the whole cinema was very clean and well kept. Would love to come back.

   Great cinema! Really clean and comfortable seats, friendly staff. Retro vibes throughout cinema along with American dining themed food and drink with seating outside the screens. Pick n mix, hot food, alcohol. Disappointed by the Chicken Tenders, a bit dry and had a weird coating, but could just be my personal tastes. Bit pricey but to be expected and staff were slow to start cooking food. Free parking, lots of spaces Recliners, sofas and limited wheelchair space. Toilet doors in Women's could have hooks for bags.

   Upon arrival, the service and staff were really friendly and helpful, the foyer was very cool and retro looking. A lovely place to wait in, they have certain trailers that sell beer and cocktails and fast food like pizza and fries. They do lack on ice cream unfortunately, they serve standard soft serve, other cinemas serve ben and jerrys or flavours of ice cream. The toilets were not working unfortunately so there was a slight toilet smell next to the corridor of the screens. The screens and recliner seats were very clean and clearly labelled. The seating was comfortable and the size of the rooms were smaller but spacious. Decent value for money for a cinema. Would definitely visit again

   Choose your screen carefully, some screens aren't very big - you can get some idea by comparing seat capacity. Otherwise a good cinema with good seats and IMAX screen option. It's clean and has standard food options and large car park.

   The best cinema in the Midlands in my opinion. Accessible, plenty of parking, on main bus routes, several screens, friendly helpful staff, always clean, and I always feel comfortable and safe whenever i visit to watch a film. Top marks!

   Out of the 3 cinemas I could visit, this is furthest away but 9 times out of 10 I choose to travel the extra distance to Empire because it's just a better overall experience; firstly there is no faffing around with parking because it's ample and free. Secondly, they don't seem to mind you taking your own food in so long as it's not blatant but thirdly and probably more importantly - the IMAX screen and sound is fantastic.

   Sadly this cinema isn't what it used to be. Their prices continue to go up, yet their seats are old and uncomfortable. Alot of the times when we have been people haven't been doing their job properly and haven't been widening the films to fit the screen etc or adjusting the sound properly. The films selection isn't the best either. Sometimes a film will come out, doesn't show for that long and you miss your chance. Yet they'll keep playing old movies for ages. Another thing that is disgraceful is the fact that it is contact less and they will not accept cash. I think that this is ridiculous and will eventually be their downfall. I personally for one will not be using this cinema again for that reason. The other reasons mentioned wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep upping their prices.
