Being located in the city center its almost right next to Victoria train station. Right next to the arndale shopping center is a great location. Staff where pleasant and happy to help. My last visit was in the opening day for Five nights at Freddys. Security staff where around due to kids under 15 trying to get in to watch the movie. Having multiple floors for the screening rooms makes it feel very open in the main foyer areas.Food and drinks. Not a bad price for munch in a cinema. Got the large hotdog and large soda.Seats in the screening room where all the recliner styles. Clean and well maintained from.what I could see.Would definitely visit again.

Apart from the whole place feeling like a maze, it was quite lovely. The staff were genuinely nice and polite, everything one expects from a cinema was present.The seats were excellent, super comfortable and with individual trays, it's a small addition but my wife and I greatly appreciated it.Excellent overall. Would definitely go again.

Located inside the Printworks, which is having a makeover, the Vue Cinema is a huge space. It's much emptier than it used to be. The screens are fine, but getting to them involves two escalator journey.Trailers and adverts always seem loud these days, but once the feature starts, it's all excellent. The reclining seats are not the most comfortable.

Fella with the long curly brown hair who usually stands on gate to scan the tickets likes to play a game of "Let's ID this woman and her friends for 15's and 18's when they are clearly pushing 30" every time I go in and another colleague will intervene and say "no, it's okay, let them through, they're clearly over 15 and over 18'...a frame and a face of someone in their teenage years compared to their late twenties is most of time...obvious, you can tell the diffrence. Every time, I laugh it off and I know he is doing is job but it's getting to the point where it feels personal and he can't stand it that I get let through by the others without needing to show I.D even the manager stopped him once and let me through and he's not the only awkward staff member, however, I have encountered some polite ones. Apart from that, I usually have a good experience here, great comfy seats and the shakes are good. I'm a huge popcorn lover but not a fan of Vue's, it's not warm, it tastes stale and not even sweet(I miss the days when cinemas still popped their own). However, I love how big and spacious the place is, prices for tickets are reasonable, it's not my first choice of cinema to go but they have a great variety of films(that's the main thing) and times, so I end up here quite often :)

Been twice this week to the IMAX. Great screen, seats could do with a bit of work (my partner and kids can never recline then due to weight). A couple of really great customer service experiences though. Highly recommended.

The new seating is really wind with recliner chairs. I have joint issues and can stiffen up if sat down too long, but these chairs are wonderful and help with that. They're incredibly comfortable.The staff are really friendly. The snack selection is pretty good. And they're understanding towards disabled people.

Amazing cinema located at the heart of Manchester. It's a few minutes walking distance from Manchester cathedral. The cinema is huge and multi floors. The seats were amazing with leg room to relax while watching the movie. The price was great for the tickets and snacks.

Actually surprised how much I enjoyed it, not been here in a while and it appears to have been refitted. Nice, welcoming vibe and the cinema chairs, reclining were fab! Film was great too. Really enjoyed my evening. The O2 voucher made it cheap too.

Efficient ticket system to get into the cinema, and nice waiting area outside IMAX screen. Screen itself was clean, with good quality sound/display. Women's toilets were not very clean or well-maintained, which was disappointing. But great visit overall

Don't get me wrong the screen and sound were top draw,however the viewing experience was not for the feint hearted. I was absolutely ready to leave on more than one occasion due to the temperature, I can only compare it to sitting in an incinerator. Screen 1 was full to the rafters and the air conditioning was either set to loose 2 kilos in body weight or not on at all. I now knowhow my Sunday roast chicken feels when it's about to have it's final makeover. Come on Vue cinemas, stop being tight and get it turned on!!!!!

This cinema has really gone down hill!!! The last few times I've been it's been unbearably hot. Went to see Oppenheimer in screen 2 tonight and I was so close to walking out due to the heat, it was so uncomfortable. I'd understand if it was a hot summer's day but it was a cold and rainy evening instead! Just made the experience really unpleasant and I definitely won't be returning to this cinema now after that

I swear that cinema room must have been 40c, had to leave the Oppenheimer movie early as the room was extremely uncomfortable, absolutely blast furnace stuff.The movie itself was absolutely trash I'm talking 3 hours of nothing but talking. Its got to be up there with the worst movie I've paid to see.The IMAX 70mm or whatever it is totally is not worth it. You are practically licking the screen, would need to be 60ft away from it for a good viewing, my neck is killing and I'm drenched in sweat.Never again.

7am Oppenheimer showing, screen and audio were great however concessions were very poor.Diet Coke tasted not quite right, no free refills for a self pour machine at that price is shocking!Popcorn was chewy and with some burnt bits.Black coffee was okay didn?t expect much from it to begin with tho!

Big fan of the reclining seats & side tables - don't think I've ever been more comfortable watching a film.
