Yeah, that was the one.

Saw Prometheus there last night. I was very impressed with the place over all. The cinema was massive. My friend and I were in screen 2. The screen was huge, comfy seats,nice food. The 3d was slightly off during one scene of Prometheus but other than that, all good. The screen was one of the biggest I've ever been too, and it was screen 2. Wonder how big screen 1 is.

screen 2 is the bigger one, 1 is little bit smaller but not by much, 4 is impressive as well as is the luxury screen.

woohoo showtime are playing Batman Begins and The Dark Knight back to back on the 19th July and its only a fiver in each, I dunno though thats one arse numbing amount of cinema viewing for one day.

AnCapaillMor · 10-07-2012 8:48am

Jaysus you'd need to be lifted from the chair after sitting down that long. Good idea though. They still need a sign outisde, advertising something like that idea would catch a person's eye.

Battleflag · 10-07-2012 12:00pm

Any idea if they will have a midnight release for the Dark Knight Rises??

AnCapaillMor · 10-07-2012 12:07pm

They did with prometheus and i imagine this will be a more anticipated movie. Then again did many go to the prometheus midnight show?

They are not allowed by the studio or something, it was mentioned on the FB page for Showtime.

Anyone know what times the two Batman movies are being shown on the 19th, would be tempted to head in myself.

Batman Begins is 6.25pm and The Dark Knight is 9.10pm, both are in the luxury screen, fiver each. I doubt I'll make both so will watch one at home and the other at the cinema

Will be making both shows me thinks... plan is to watch Batman Begins, jot over to supermacs when that's over... and waddle back then in time for Dark Knight

Cartman78 · 21-07-2012 8:50pm

First outing for me at Batman in the 'new' Showtime cinema.......major major major thumbs up.

Comfortable seating, excellent projection, fantastic sound (without being deafening) and overall it was by far the best cinema experience I've had in Ireland in a very long time. (It helped that the film was top-notch).

Haven't been to Storm in a couple of years but it had gotten really shoddy the last time I was there. The Omniplex isn't much better imho so will be making Showtime my local from now on.

btw Does anyone know what the Luxury upgrade entails??

wingnut · 21-07-2012 10:27pm

Luxury has wider leatherette seats and more leg room.

LOL dont waste your money the seats are sooo uncomfortable

brianregan09 · 23-07-2012 11:09am

Had my 1st go in showtime the other night for Batman and had to say its a massive improvement on Sticky floor omniplex or my usual spot Storm/OdeON, The seats are so comfortable its unreal, the screen aswell was so much clearer than eithe of the other two

gotasmoke · 23-07-2012 2:30pm

I've been a few times and it's definitely my favourite cinema to go to. I was in the luxury screen last week for Batman Begins and Dark Knight and to be honest I don't think it's worth the extra money. The seats are padded and finished in leather, but they are not contoured like in the regular screens so can be a little uncomfortable.

never again, i prefer the normal seats so much lol

Clareman · 23-07-2012 5:52pm

I went last night and went for the luxury seats, I thought it was great, not many people in there so less chance of people talking or walking out. Very impressed with the projection and the sound, I've read some reviews that said that Bane was difficult to understand, absolutely no bother in Showtime, I will definitely be back there.

krudler · 23-07-2012 7:40pm

Prefer the normal seats myself, these are the luxury ones:

Saw The Avengers in there and my ass was numb at the end. the extra legroom is nice alright but there's plenty in the regular ones anyway.

Jofspring · 23-07-2012 9:43pm

Ya I prefer the normal seats. If the leather was soft it would be great but it's actually harder than the normal ones. For really tall people its probably great to have the extra leg room but for most the normal screens have plenty of it.

Was in screen 6 for the Dark Night. It was packed out so was near the front. Still had no hassles and the screen was huge. Picture Quality and sound was superb also.

krudler · 24-07-2012 9:49am

only technical issue I've had there so far was the screen going dark and the movie not playing for about 5 minutes before Spiderman, aside from that the quality and presentation is superb, had constant issues with Storm so stopped going there months ago, anyone know if its improved since Odeon took it over?

johnpatrick81 · 24-07-2012 2:20pm

storm would definitely be my least fav of the 3, mainly cos of the seats. Showtime has fantastic quality of picture and sound. The seats ain't great again though. Omniplex still the best for me.

meoklmrk91 · 06-08-2012 2:26am

Is it just me or have showtime raised their prices, the first time I was there it cost me €17 something for my ticket, large popcorn and drink and a little tub of Ben and Jerry's, went tonight it it was €17.90 for ticket and large popcorn and drink. Also we were in cinema 2 which is very annoying because the toilets are directly underneath it and you can hear and feel the hand dryers when people use them. I really liked showtime at the start but I think I will switch back to the omniplex, it's not worth my while to go across the river when the prices have been hiked up to match the other cinemas.

Nope, I go there very regularly and there have been no price rises(as of yet at least

don't be giving them idea's!haha)

Could it have been that the previous time you went it was a pre 9pm show? Where the price is €8.50, that your last visit was post 9pm? where the price goes up to €9?
That 50c would account for the jump from €17 something....to €17.90.

Agree with you about the dryer noise in screen 2, but hey look on the brightside

its not like the Savoy where you would have bowling lane noise from overhead constantly AND people are actually washing their hands after going

It is an annoyance though.

krudler · 06-08-2012 2:35pm

on another note, has anyone figured out how to get the handsoap out of the dispensers? cos I know I'm not the only one :pac:

Ah that must have been it so. Didnt know they raised the prices after 9. I love everything else about the cinema it's just so bloody annoying when the movie gets to a quiet part and then all you can hear is the dryers going off! Didnt have that problem with the avengers though

pity it wasn't better insulated as you can feel the vibrations and everything.

The only way I have been able to get it out is to push the nozzle up really hard, and then leave your hand underneath as it doesn't come out immediately after, your definitely not the only I kept looking for something to pull at the back of it before I finally figured it out.

Alonso77 · 06-08-2012 8:36pm

Savoy closed around 2002/2003, remember seeing the second Lord Of the Rings flick there

The Savoy ? Are you sure on that ? I would have thought it closed by the mid 80's at the latest ?

That was the "old" Savoy. There was another one, a multi-screen, where the Savoy Hotel/Thomas Street shopping area is now.

the one with the bowling complex over it, where the hotel is now. I used to live in the Carlton apartments, saw my first movie in there when it was a cinema (Batman in 1989)

It was definitely still open in 2003, I started working in Limerick that year and was in there. Possibly closed 2003 also or maybe 2004.

Yep...I remember going to see 'Anger Management' there on a first date with my then girlfriend in 2003.

Amazingly, our relationship survived the combo of a crap movie in a slightly crap cinema and we are now married 5 years!
