Cineworld Cinemas

Edinburgh’s Cineworld is a multiplex cinema located in a large complex at Fountainbridge, a venue as lacking in personality as the chain restaurants, bars and bingo hall that surrounds it. It’s all very cold and commercial, aimed largely at drawing in the masses to big cinematic releases. As you’ve probably guessed it’s not my favourite cinema in Edinburgh. Edinburgh is lucky as it has a nice variety of venues to watch your films in and there are at least two which are better than Cineworld. There is the classy Filmhouse, which largely shows art house films and the cosy Cameo which shows a ... more

Introduction I've just come back from visiting my local Cineworld cinema in Falkirk, after having gone on my own to see Rush Hour 3 (which is an ok movie). Anyway I thought I might as well share my experience here. I have to say, I've never had any real problems with this cinema, infact im quite keen on it. Now I'd spent some time planning my outing today as I'm a fairly new driver (only just got my full license under a year ago) and so it was the first time I'd driven through to Falkirk to go the cinema on my own (this isn't totally off topic, stick with it!) and because of this (and me being ... more

I REQUESTED THIS TOPIC AND HAVE BEEN DIRECTED BY CIAO TO WRITE IT HERE SO PLEASE DON'T RATE IT AS OFF-TOPIC - IT'S THEIR FAULT NOT MINE. ************************************* I used to live in Suffolk not far from Bury St Edmunds. For many years there had been proposals to build a multiplex cinema and the fighting by both sides had been intense. In Suffolk the yes/no camps for a multiplex were as firmly entrenched as the yes/no campaigners for fox-hunting, adoption of the Euro or ... more

Cineworld is a national cinema chain. There are currently just under 80 Cineworld cinemas in the United Kingdom. In the past, I have visited Cineworld lots of times. Located in the Shropshire town of Shrewsbury is about a two minute drive from the high street. It is located next door to Asda as well as a few other places. ~ * WELCOME * ~ The entrance to the cinema is very attractive - I remember when the cinema was new (around ten years ago). They have a lovely bright purple carpet - the same one since it first opened, although it has worn quite a bit. There is a large open space here which ... more

The vast majority of cinemas today are huge warehouse-size multi-screen emporiums located in large retail parks - the very epitome of capitalism in modern society. The sort of place that conjours up visions of a socially-undeveloped teenage workforce, employed by fat cats cranking up the popcorn prices on a day-to-day basis. I see Cineworld as something of a small revolution... While, of course, a packet of M&Ms and a small drink will cost you the best part of a fiver, and the Brighton Cineworld is indeed huge and on the marina promenade, the staff are remarkably friendly and helpful.
