The cinema is very comfortable and the operating company seem to be able to secure a good range of films shortly after their general release. Recommended.

A good choice of films and only a 'stones throw' from the Mereside. Comfortable and very convenient.

Looking at the cinema it looks dated, there is limited parking and there are high prices for some things. This cinema is also much more. It's the only cinema on the island which sells popcorn from a machine, I has 2 screens which are pretty good for visibility unless you are a Pygmy or 4 years old. If you are... More

As my local cinema, I visit this place a lot, I have seen it all, the staff have been rude, the prices are constantly through the roof, the seats smell, its never clean, what it needs is a good face lift.

unlike in the uk this cinema starts the film dead on time with no comercial trailers before it so make sure you are not late or you miss the beginning of the film. only one showing of an evening at 7.30

The is an ok cinema, not great but not bad either. They do show the latest 3D films and the sound system isn't bad. The seating is not as spacious as those in cities in the UK but then again there is no reel need for much bigger on the Isle of Man when you take into consideration the population... More
