    What is that?

    I see in Dublin cineworld do an unlimited card. It's €19.99 a month and you get unlimited entry to the movies.

    Something along those lines would be great.

    That is pretty decent alright. Would probably depend on the selection though. Might only be two good movies around in a month so wouldn't be much of a saving over just buying the ticket.

    Could also end up having to justify buying it to yourself and watching Adam Sandler play himself and his twin sister.

    Think thats were they'd make their money. Where it would work for the customer would most likely be during the likes of the summer when a lot of blockbusters would come out and you might have 4 or 5 good films out in a month.

    I suppose if you are a big into going to movies and willing to try all kinds of movies it is a great deal.

    Don't many of the "unlimited" schemes come with T&C that include certain times?

    Don't know to be honest but I'd say your right.

    They had a special screening of John carter in 3d last night for people who rang and won a competition. From the people's responses on Facebook they where very happy with it and said the seats where comfortable with lots of leg room. I'd say they showed it in the VIP screen though.

    I'm just going by how the unlimited cards work in many of the cinemas that do them in the UK. Might be different in Ireland.

    Went there tonight. The good - friendly staff and even though we were in screen 7 it was a decent size screen (some of the screens in the omniplex are tiny).

    The Bad: Seats are very 'upright' with short base cushions. You can lean back on them but the snap back up very abruptly. Not very comfortable to be honest.

    Don't know if all the seats are like that - what do other baordsie's think?

    I thought the seats were OK for about an hour, but then I was squirming to get comfortable. I think the part you sit on a few inches shorter than it should be.

    I went to see 21 Jump Street and the screen was cropped at the top and bottom. Hopefully just a teething issue.

    Good value though, and the place is spotless (for now!)

    Out of the 3 cinemas in Limerick, this is the furthest away from me and least accessible (I have to go through town, up by King John's Castle, or pay a toll on the tunnel), so I don't know if I'll be a regular.

    I live near the omniplex so it makes more sense (and its cheaper) to go there but I'll probably go see something in showtime tonight, while it has that new cinema smell :pac: is it fully finished inside or are they still decorating and the like? anyone find the pic and sound quality better than storm (wouldnt be hard) or the omniplex?

    Still has that new cinema smell, that's for sure. The place is 100% complete as far as I can see, and the sound quality is the best of the 3 cinemas.

    Let us know what you think!

    Went there tonight.

    Paid 7e for a student ticket.

    Sound and picture were both superb, much better than Storm or the Omniplex. Definetly best cinema in town in terms of quality.

    going later, hope they keep the standards up, Storm was brilliant when it first opened and took a nosedive in the past few years, omniplex were crap then upped their game a lot once the 3D and digital projectors came in.

    It did stop for a few days, but started again once they organised a policy of actually checking the codes...

    Last time I was in Storm there were only 2 of us in the whole theatre, time before that there were 6! Someone sitting in front of you isn't a prob anymore:p

    Went there last night, was impressed by the place, seats are pretty comfortable. Hope it takes off and does well, there was only 4 of us in the 18:20 john Carter showing.
