AVOID - huge mice crawling up the walls in the cinema screen right next to where we were sat!!! Reported this to the staff whose response was “they won’t disturb you” and advised that they’re aware of the problem and undergoing extermination. There was no other seats to move to and no apology. Surely they should NOT be open and serving food. Looking through there’s a lot of reviews mentioning mice

Sadly it feels like this cinema is on it’s last legs. The lift has been broken for a while, the up escalator doesn’t work. And we had mice in our screening last night. I appreciate this problems can happen and the timing can never be perfect. But there are reviews/posts about mice and rats for over a year. Alerted the staff to this last night and all I was offered was the chance to move seats, no...

Had an awful experience with a couple and the staff didn’t help at all. Two people talking out loud throughout the entire film, they were shushed and asked to be quiet three different times by three different people. I then went out and told a member of staff and one after another they sent three staff members in one after another who all saw the couple talking, then left without dealing with them...

4DX is absolutely brilliant here. Excellent force feedback and it really makes you feel part of the movie! Additional options exist on the seats to switch off water effects at the click of a button. Saw Tron: Ares here and want to go for a second watch! Amazing, amazing, amazing! It's so awesome here that I feel like trying for a part-time position whilst studying at film school :D
