Vue Cinemas

Major issue with ceiling lighting in screen 12.

I believe this is the same for screens 10, 11, 12.

This lighting, in any other cinema, in any city, anywhere on earth, would normally be switched off, or at least dimmed to a bare minimum, for the main feature, but in the Vue we have an exception.

According to the staff, this has to do with "health and safety."

The duty manager, Stephen, denied that leaving the ceiling lighting on was a problem, he was immensely patronising and ill informed regarding cinema lighting.

Do they expect people to plan a night out, go to a specific cinema, chosen over others, at a specific time, and then request a refund, instead of watching the film, because they have discovered that the Vue offers conditions that run contrary to normal viewing standards? This seems to have been the suggestion.

If we were made aware of the fact that screens 10,11,12 remain lit, prior to purchasing tickets, we would have spent our money elsewhere.

Quiet good and u have many options

As it is in the proximity of the city center, it is an expensive place to watch a movie. I live nearby so it is convenient to me. There are more screening times which is also good if you missed out the first show. After the movie, there are as well restos and bars around where you can sit and enjoy the light outside.. : )

This cinema is really handy being in the centre of town and when I moved nearby I was sure I'd be a regular visitor.

Not so unfortunately. As with all cinema chains nowadays, watching a movie is not cheap and sadly, vue doens't offer any discounted monthly tickets. So thats 7 quid just to go and watch a film, not including your parking ticket and any food or drink you want when you get there (and yes, they're over-priced as you would expect).

The quality of the cinema is obviously top notch but the whole places lacks any character for me. Oh, and on my last visit the toilets needed cleaned. Come on Vue, use our money to spend on some cleaners please. And introduce a monthly pass. Thanks.

Edinburgh is lucky to have some cinemas that have real character - Dominion, Cameo - and the Omni Centre's Vue is not one of them. It is an overpriced chain cinema, and somehow feels cold and unattractive as I sit clutching my warm, plastic bottle of beer in my gigantic cold seat.

The picture quality and sound system are indeed impressive though, and I suppose those who visit the cinema purely for the purposes of the movie experience would not be disappointed.

Don't expect to see anything other than the most mainstream of Hollywood blockbusters here though.

The prices keep going up and up, but so do all cinema prices at the moment. The popcorn is subpar but edible and the ice-cream’s yummy. You can queue for tickets at the same time as refreshments which is good, or if you’re not hungry there are ticket machines downstairs. There is always a wide range of films on, although they don’t really show foreign or arty films here. Unfortunately to use the loo you have to go into the screen bit, which is always infuriating when arrive desperate for the toilet, but usually they’re nice and let you run through if you explain (you can tell this has happened to me :P). A good thing to know about the toilets between the numerous screens is that although only one set are sign posted, there are two sets which is handy as they tend to be quieter when there are large queues for the sign posted ones. The seats are comfy and at just the right distance for you to use the back of the seat in front as a footrest (provided there’s no one in the seat in front of course). One important thing to mention is that the web timetables can be misleading if you don’t notice the letters GC for gold class in the corner: these showings cost more and are only available to those over 18 or accompanied by an adult, as they serve alcohol there. All in all a fun place to go and see a film, and a good place to shelter from the rain too, being the only building you can really walk into on that side of the street.

Excellent cinema. It has 12 screens with great view of the screen from any seat. The ticket prices are cheap and the film food is amazing.

I would recommend this VUE cinema rather than the one at Ocean terminal just because its much cleaner and bigger.

Great work VUE!

very good cinema. facilities ranging from basic to gold class for the films. Always clean and staff and on the ball with any questions.

This cinema is very good. It’s pretty new so all the facilities are very good. It has 12 screens and shows all the big movies.

The seats are big and comfy with lots of leg room, and it’s also very clean, even on the floor which is unusual for a cinema!!!

The gold class service is good. You get a better seat and are brought complimentary snacks throughout the film.

The cinema is pricey though, (and the popcorn even pricier), but all cinemas are nowadays. It’s also in a great central location.

This is a nice, relatively new cinema. Friendly staff, lots of film choice and the usual over priced snacks make for a nice trip. You don’t get the 'special’ feeling, but it’s fine!

One of Edinburghs top cinema’s. Great picture quality and seats are nice and comfy with option to fold arm rest up. All food is pricey however and these days, ticket prices are getting steep. Nice and family friendly in a brilliant location with lots of bars and restaurants downstairs

Great lookin cinema in the omni centre.Its got a lot of screens with a good selection of films.Good selection of food before you go in.Toilets are clean and staff are kind and helpful.

This place has more or less all you’d expect from a mainstream multiplex cinema. There are tons of screens, and they have a fairly wide programme, quite often showing the more obscure releases (as far as mainstream goes). The theatres themselves are very comfortable, with cosy seats and tons of legroom. Some films are showing in Gold Class only, which never seemed to me to be worth the extra money. Unfortunately, as you would expect in a cinema, the price of food and drink is extortionate. However, I’ve had some great times there. The cinema is part of a large complex containing plenty of bars, restaurants, cafes and such, and it’s in a very nice part of the city.

A pretty good cinema, the same as any other Vue multiplex around the country but still it’s in a nice development in the center of the city. The films are the usual expensive price but you can always use the Orange Wednesday offer to get cheaper tickets.

There’s a good selection of chain bars and restaurants in the Omni center that you can visit before or after film. Omni is also good because they don’t monitor individual screens so you can nip out of one and into another without getting caught!

This is a great cimena, where you can get gold class also, which means you can get drinks delivered to your seat in the cinema. Obviously the gold class is more epensive, round about £4-£5 dearer. Now when you go to VUE they give you a voucher which entitles you to £1.50 of your next view at the cinema, this has a date on it though, but if you go to the cinema often, this really does come in handy.
The cinema is really nice and has round about 15 screens with great comfy seats, and large screening areas.

Clean big cinema.
(£5.55 to £7.40 full price)
The standard class seats are comfy and removable armrest which it good if you want to stretch out or snuggle up close with someone.

GOLD CLASS (£9.40 full price)
HUGE comfy leather chairs and access to a bar and free. (It’s really up to you but if you going to sitting for a long time consider it)

Look out when you on they out down the glass stairs I have had a few static shock from the bannister not very nice.

Food & sweets are tad over price so plan a head and buy your sweets before you go.

This cinema is always clean and comfortable. Has loads of screens and also has a gold class screen which if you want to pay the extra money is great. Their wide screens are awesome here and sound is always spot on. They always show the latest releases. There is a ticket machine where you can buy your own tickets by card, rather than having to queue up which is always good. As like any other cinema the popcorn and sweets are way overpriced. The air conditioning always seems to be set on cold, so remember your coat in winter time. Other than that it usually is a pleasant enough experience to visit.

This cinema is great for watching any genre of film. Large, comfy seats in big viewing lounges, and very friendly staff make the whole experience a good one. Electronic machines (and booths, open peak times) offer tickets downstairs, but you can buy your tickets upstairs at the food stand (to tempt you to buy their food!) for something like 45p cheaper! I think that is a bit cheeky, but doesn't detract from the cinema's quality. Less than £5 for students. Confusing stair/escalator system which gets completely blocked everytime people queue to go into a film but you get used to that!
