"I am a massive fan of going to the cinema and when I find a nice cinema I do tend to stay around and carry on returning there to see all of my films. When I found Vue cinema in Newcastle then I was extremely pleased to find a cinema that is well looked after, clean and that the screens are fantastic so now I always go there. In fact I was there last night which is why I am typing this review up so I can share how good this cinema is to everybody.
So first is location and this cinema is Newcastle Under Lyme. Newcastle is a sweet little town in Staffordshire and is quite sweet in terms of its nice architecture and shops. With good bus links Newcastle is a nice place to go and you can get there quite well if you are around the Stoke-on-Trent area. We live outside of Stafford but still choose to travel to this cinema even though it is over half an hour away.
The cinema is in the centre of Newcastle and very easy to find. From the outside you will see a sign for it and there is even a pizza hut in there so if you are hungry then you can just grab something before or after the film. As you walk in there is a great picture on the walls in black and white. This shows lots of stars from films and has taken them years to complete and trust me it does look very impressive.
The cinema is very clean looking with bright white walls and nice dark blue carpets. There are bins everywhere so you can dispose of your litter. There is a big parking area if you want to park and it does cost £1 per hour you are there. You get a token as you go in and pay at a pay station on your way out.
The ticket booths are nice here and there is a rail going around so people can queue properly with no cutting in. Tickets are £6.20 each which is good considering you are in a good cinema. They do orange Wednesdays whish is good so buy one get one free. Then student discount gets you about £1.50 off which is not that bad.
There are toilets with loads of them and they are well looked after which is great. Then there is a nice shop which sells your popcorn, drinks and snacks which always smells lovely. The prices are quite standard cinema prices so what you expect really but again there is a good queuing system and everywhere is nice and clean. In this area there are seats to wait on and film posters all around so you can see what's coming out. It all looks very posh to be honest.
You get your tickets checked as you go through to the screens and if I am correct there are about nine screens there. Each screen is signposted clearly and you walk in and they are massive. The screens are huge and they have great surround sound. Also the best thing about this cinema is the seats as you go in and they are so tall that no matter how tall the person is in front you will still be able to see the screen. They are big seats and have cup holders and are so soft I will even describe them as comfortable which is unusual for cinema seats.
Now lights will stay on until the trailers start before the film and the cinema does go very dark which of course is very good. Then the film is shown on the full screen and honestly it is so huge. The sound is always good and I have never had a problem with any film we have been to see.
Now cinemas in my opinion are usually cold but this one is actually quite warm which is nice. Because you are at a nice cinema too, you don't usually get people making any noise while the film is on which is great as I have yelled at so many people for it.
In conclusion this cinema is great. It has everything you need and always has the latest films on and showing times are usually evenly spread out during the day. We always go here and have done for quite a few years. We have found another nice cinema now but out of the two I would always choose Vue.
