I felt spoiled here; Staff was very friendly, the Prices were very cheap and the Snacks were good (was not used to the Sheer Size of the Nachos). Went to watch Back to the Future (on the 10.11.) Had a great evening! Just found out this place is gonna shut down :(
Very cheap and had very comfy seats! Staff are always amazing and friendly. Extremely sad this place is closing soon :(
It's an okay cinema. My experience here was fine. The environment is satisfactorily maintained and there are options for popcorn and other refreshments. There is a lack of higher-end viewer experience options such as 4DX, among other things
The smallest of the 3 Aberdeen cinemas, the cheapest too if booked online. The interior is quite dated and dark, but it is clean and the seats are comfortable enough. Generally speaking, the projectors are of better quality than Cineworld's, although there's not much of a difference unless you are watching a subtitled film - the text tends to be much more readable at the Vue. The selection of confectionery available is quite broad, but it is slightly more expensive than Cineworld's. There also isn't a loyalty programme like Cineworld's Unlimited. Screens 1-4 are on the upper level of the Cinema, with 5-7 being on the lower. Screens 1 & 2 are the biggest screens. Screen 1 has quite a high wall in front of the first row of VIP seats, which can be a bit difficult to look over. I'd recommend either going one back or one forward from the first row of VIP seats. The Screen in Screen 3 is awkwardly placed, with there being a high wall in front of the screen. I would recommend being as far back as possible in this screen, and the wheelchair seats are pretty much unusable (The last photo I've attached is Screen 3 Row G - I wouldn't recommend any further forward than this). The rest of the screens are all fairly decent and don't have any 'awful' seats. There have been posters on the doors stating the air condition isn't currently working - which has been the case for months. Although, the cinema tends to be on the cold side most of the time. Staff are always friendly and films tend to run for longer here than the Cineworld's, and they show older films and BFI releases more often - definitely worth a look online to see if there's anything interesting coming up. You can park in the NCP Car Park for £6 for 6 hours if you get the staff to validate your ticket, or the cinema is easily reached by bus, as it is just off Union Street. The train station is a short (but steep) walk away.
Considering the price it's really nice cinema. Toilets are very nice and clean so as the ticket and snacks place. However I didn't think the seats were tidy much. They were ok. Screen and sound quality was awesome
