How likely is it that there will be £1 re-releases for families this summer at cineworld like there was last summer?

Or maybe its just me. While there are some films on. After a great start to the year with lots of horror and Oscar bait I feel its been a really poor summer since may in both quality and quantity. I know we have evil dead and spiderman and odyssey. So fingers crossed.

Who's done it? Ever had an issue?

Well, I stand corrected said the man in the orthopedic shoes. I assumed they wouldn't be doing it in the UK yet here we are. Be aware, the film itself isn't longer, it's an extra 15 minutes after the credits.

Was just in to watch the new ‘Jackass’ and seen the taxi driver trailer. Has anyone else seen this and got any information on this?

Hello,

Just posting in here to ask about unlimited cancellation for the Dublin branch.

I understand there may be different contact routes for Ireland versus the UK and don’t want to waste time using the wrong channels.

Sad to be parting from Cineworld but the location leaves a lot to be desired even for the great value on offer.

Thanks so much for any help!

Trailer starts with a smash cut of near enough all of Tom Cruise’s films and my husband and I fully thought it was cineworld announcing a Tom Cruise season. I was so hyped thinking of all the cool films I was going to get to see in the cinema and then realised oh ok just a new film 😭

So something odd happened to my friends and I today. And if you’re going to comment and just go “yeah, they just changed screens”, actually read it ALL before commenting because it’s not a simple screen swap. Those aren’t weird.

We all had tickets booked for supergirl at 10:40 at Stevenage in screen 14. Booked within a couple of minutes of each other last week.

But today by chance, we were adding a fourth who wasn’t sure was going to make it. He asked what seats we had and we went “oh, M14-16”.

And his response is “there is no row M in screen 8”.

We just though the screen was fully booked and they added a second screen at that time. Not unheard of.

But then the weird bit. My ticket was screen 14. But the other 2 who booked their tickets together now had a ticket saying screen 8 M14-15. But as I say - there is no row M in that screen.

And the tickets were definitely screen 14 before - we always send screenshots of the confirmation to each other as we book so that a) there’s no risk of typos, and b) if our phones play up on the day, we have backups of the QR codes for everyone on everyone’s phones.

So beyond the obvious annoyance of “we were sitting together and now we’re not even in the same screen, that we solved by just cancelling all the tickets and booking screen 8 tickets (which also told us they hadn’t just moved everyone to another screen as it was almost empty), has anyone ever had that happen, Cineworld just changing you to a different screen without the original screen being cancelled? And what would have happened to my friends if they’d used their tickets for seats that don’t exist?

Maybe I'm being stupid but I don't understand why before each film, it comes up with the Cineworld message that says 'get ready to feel more.. again'. Why again? At first I thought it was done when COVID restrictions were lifted the first time and it was kind of welcoming us back to cinemas but now it's still showing that message I think maybe it's some other reason? Is it just to suggest that you should go to Cineworld regularly? Really stupid thing but it's been bothering me for ages 😆

P.S I'm really happy the game show guy disappeared though 🙌🏻

why do people bother coming to the cinema if they’re just going to talk LOUDLY throughout the entire film? it’s so disrespectful. i even moved bc i didn’t tell them to stop talking and potentially cause a scene as they’re had two young children with them but i could still hear their mumbles despite moving far away.

ppl are so insufferable istg. if you wanna talk stay at home and watch it on dvd/streaming when the movie comes out.

Does anyone have the list of films in the Tom Cruise tribute that comes on before the Digger trailer?

There was a card but it is only on very briefly.

Digger looks... interesting.

Hi, I made an error and just booked me and my son to see Jackass tonight. He is 14 and has seen them all, but I didn't realise it was an 18, as I used a Three code it just went through no issue as the code comes up when you add it in so I never saw the "non child" bit. What are our chances of being kicked out?

Basically the title.

Anyone else having issues with bookings being cancelled semi-last-minute with no given reason?

Was hoping to use Unlimited to get out the heat more, and had bookings for Supergirl in Superscreen yesterday and today. Both were cancelled hours before the viewing with no reason given.

Wondering if anyone else was having the same and if anyone does know the reason.

Edit: UPDATE: It's now also not allowing me to book Superscreen using my Unlimited at all. Yayyyyyyy

My attempts at doing multi-format premium format reviews for DC superhero films have now been cursed by heatwaves for the second year in a row.

I had intended to do 4DX, ScreenX and IMAX for this one but the air con at Didsbury has broken down, so I tolerated 4DX (the wind effect helped) but my feet were swelling by the end and I couldn’t be bothered to sit through ScreenX as well and then I decided I couldn’t be bothered faffing getting to and from the IMAX in Manchester in the heat and gave up. Please stop releasing your films during the peak of heatwaves, DC!!!

The film itself - ★★★☆☆: I simultaneously thought this was perfectly OK and yet also have no sympathy whatsoever that this is bombing.

This film is basically a Supergirl side-quest where her dog gets poisoned and she has to beat up the bad guy to get the antidote, joined by not-superhero Ruthye, a young teen seeking revenge on the same bad guy for the murder of her family.

It’s fairly fun and there’s action and some attempt at themes and stuff. But it’s also very drab-looking and kind of listless. The stakes feel quite small and even if this wasn’t set to perform badly commercially I’d be surprised if the events of this were ever called back to in future DC films.

Like it’s fine and if you want an excuse to sit in an air conditioned room for a bit (if it’s working!) then go. If you enjoyed The Mandalorian and Grogu and Masters of the Universe, you’ll find this similarly fun.

I just don’t know how you could look at the state of the superhero movie genre these days and think this was a good idea to put out. People want to see something really special if they’re paying a million pounds to take their family and get popcorn and see a premium format or whatever. This is literally just Supergirl doing a sidequest with a not particularly amazing script, not outstanding action and effects sequences and a villain seemly fished out of the bins.

To sum up, it’s OK. It’s Mandalorian and Grogu and Masters of the Universe-tier. Take from that what you will depending on how much you liked those.

The 4DX experience - ★★★☆☆: Unfortunately as a 4DX film, this isn’t on the same tier as Superman.

There are some decent seat movement moments but there are also lengthy sections of the film that don’t call on the effects (it opens quite ominously with multiple scenes where the seats vibrate to diegetic music - I feel like it’s never a good sign when the programmers have to pad out the effects with that). The action bits are pretty decent but not as standout as Superman and some recent films - I wasn’t like ‘woah, this seat movement makes it a must-see in 4DX’.

In terms of water there’s a very brief rain to represent what I think was supposed to be a spaceship’s engine and a couple of water sprays representing spittle and such.

Wind pops up a bit representing movement, although with no air con there wasn’t really any hot and cold for me. Scent pops with a kind of tangy scent in a space bus scene. There’s also some airburst for gun type stuff. I think the strobe popped up once.

There was no fog in my screening but I have to assume it was because the air con wasn’t operational to clean it up as there was a big dust cloud at one point that was a screamingly obvious prompt for fog.

The 3D was for once pretty decent with quite a number of instances when it was noticeable.

Overall, this is the top end of three stars but I can’t quite recommend it strongly enough for four.

Conclusions: If you have Unlimited, the film is reasonably worth checking out if you want to sit in an air conditioned room for a bit. The 4DX is in that awkward zone where the uplift isn’t a waste of money but also isn’t that special an experience. If I didn’t have Unlimited, I wouldn’t be taking my entire family to see this full price in 4DX with popcorn and stuff, save your hundreds of pounds for something else.

Anyone else been taking advantage of Unlimited to stay cool during the heatwave?

I normally only go to late evening screenings but just got back home from seeing Toy Story 5 and going again tomorrow straight after work to see Backrooms for the second time. Wouldn’t be a film I would rewatch in normal circumstances, but the a/c in the cinema is great and refreshing.

Impossible to keep my flat cool at the moment so is an ideal way to get a break from the heat and also to let the flat cool down a little, wondered if anyone else is doing the same?

Hi all, just had my 7:20 PM Superscreen booking for Supergirl at Cineworld Cardiff cancelled out of the blue.

I’m an Unlimited member and now the system won't let me book any other times for the film today, it’s giving an error when I am trying to see any other timings.

​Is anyone else seeing this, or is the whole day's schedule pulled for some reason? Really frustrating as I was looking forward to this one.

​EDIT: I was able to book the 6:40pm show instead.

​EDIT 2: Well, that just got cancelled too. Looks like it’s a total washout for today. 🥲

EDIT 3: I went to supergirl screening at 8:20 pm and asked the cineworld staff and yes the air con is down, so get some form of cooler if you are planning to go
