Let me start by saying I’ve got an unlimited card, I’ve had it for about 13 years and it’s brilliant, I use it all the time.
Seeing as I’ve had it for over a year, I’ve got a black card, allowing me 25% off food and drinks bought on site at any Cineworld. Even after the 25% off, it’s still very expensive to buy some average popcorn and a soft drink which you can get from any supermarket, restaurant etc.
I’m certain that if they halved their prices, they’d sell more than twice as much, making them more profit than now! How on earth anyone can warrant paying the full (roughly) £10 on a large popcorn and drink, is beyond me.
But, that said, this is my favourite cinema with polite and helpful staff. The screens are fine, with adequate and comfortable seating.

We travelled from Bedfordshire specifically to see the film 1917 at this spectacular cinema complex. The auditorium was clean, the seats looked new and were really comfortable. Great view of the screen and the sound was good too. Parking was plentiful and cheap at 50p an hour in the purple section. Beware the red zone though! Well worth a visit.

So my mum and I come to this cinema pretty much on a weekly basis.
I've held an unlimited card for about ten years now and we feel like this place is a second home almost.
We see a mixture of genres and find most screens are pretty decent. There are a few that the seats are noticeably smaller and less leg room.
Popcorn or sweets are often acquired and with our discount from our unlimited cards it seems rude not to.
Most staff friendly and helpful.
Also great that we can get our parking money back each time.

I took my 3 and 4 year-old for their first ever trip to the cinema. Technical issue with movie (these things happen) and while we were waiting (over an hour) they played a string of trailers featuring adult content. (Gunfights etc.) We left and came back when these had finished. We watched 20 minutes of the movie and left to catch the train home.
Because there was no time to look for the manager, I emailed customer services when I got home. They sent a few pre-prepared irrelevant responses that didn't acknowledge the fact that children were exposed to adult content and why they failed to safeguard them on this occasion. When I raised this again, I received another 'drop-down' response to say they considered the matter closed and wouldn't be responding to any further emails.
If you're looking for a cinema to visit with children, I'd avoid Cineworld.

We're both Unlimited card holders and went to see the Jumanji film on their X-screen (the one that displays on the main screen and side walls) on 31/7/2020.
A few minutes into the film the right hand display packed up. The main screen and left hand wall continued to work. After the performance, we spoke to several employees, the last one went off to speak to a manager. After a few minutes it was clear she wasn't coming back so we left. We still don't know why it wasn't working, but we won't be wasting money on the x-screen again. £6 wasted and we're currently reviewing our unlimited membership. Fortunately, the film was very poor so it wasn't much of a loss.

Oh dear, I can understand why Cineworld is in the news for being on the brink of bankruptcy.
The girl serving drinks etc. did NOT manage to provide a mixed salt/sweet popcorn, and when there is a queue, don't have another staff member clean un-used tills while everyone waits.
The seats demanding a premium cost that is supposed to be VIP are the same as the rest.
If you are paying for the better position/view, then state that, not the seats.
Luxury recliner seats at another cinema chain were the same price, and chalk & cheese in better value.
Fortunately, the film was good (not something I would rate against the cinema anyway), but our usual cinema blows Cineworld away if I were not on holiday.

My son's passport was being renewed and that's the only id he has with a picture as he's only 15 years old. We were planning on watching a film which was rated 50 we spent nearly £50 on 4 tickets we couldn't just leave him and we were out of town the following week so we couldn't exchange our tickets and they wouldn't refund us on the tickets. All we got was a sorry. Will never again use Cineworld. Horrible stuff terrible customer service.

Since our local cinema closed this is now the nearest to us. Have visited a few times in the past. Oh my gosh there was no heating in the cinema. We sat to watch the film complete with coat, hat and gloves on. Because obviously we were not moving we became even colder. At one point we did think about leaving but it was now becoming near the end. I have never been so cold and the whole enjoyment of going to the cinema was spoilt. Okay so the cinema for a weekday was not packed but there were quite a few people in it. All with coats on. Did the management decide not to turn the heating on because it was not full? Shame on them if that was the case. Our Cineworld cards are coming to an end and we will now look at another cinema provider.

Cinemas is general have really gone down hill. Getting too greedy with food costs and film costs. We paid extra for the imax, but it was actually just a little bit of a curved screen. The owners need to visit other countries with real imax theatres to see what they are really like. Stinks of food too.

Came to watch a film as you do at the cinema and went to scan the ticket and got sent to the screen. Once seated two workers came in and told us they needed to clean the cinema and we shouldn’t have been sent in to the screen. So a lady a the front of the cinema asked “what do you want us to do then leave?”. One of the workers replied “yes”. So everyone got up muttering and complaining so we all left and on the way out one of the workers said “my name is Chloe if you want to complain”. So one of the other cinema goers said “might just do that” and another said “sometimes you just need to stop talking. We then presided to stand outside the screen for 10 minutes waiting to go back in and two people went to the manager to complain as they should have.
So thanks Chloe I did indeed complain :)

I am trying to book tickets for fantastic beasts and where to find them for a saturday evening about 5.40. I am taking my 15 year old daughter and 6 year old son to the 3d 4x showing. Is it correct that I am charged adult prices for all the tickets? It doesn't seem to have a child option only adult and student, should i book my 2 children in as students? It is at Milton Keynes cinema

Not sure is this is something which would be available. There is space at the front but you wouldn't be able to place a wheelchair fixed into one of the seats. If you are able you could have someone assist you into one of the 4DX seats but the fitting is slightly loose so not sure if this would be a good idea. If not then I wouldn't recommend 4DX as there isn't much point paying a premium for something when you cannot sit in the seat. It's quite expensive for something which distracts you from what is going on on the screen and the screen size itself isn't very big.
