    my personal favourite is Cineworld in Parnell st as it has a nice bar and i can pay in once and then wonder around from screen to screen for the whole day ;)
    the biggest screen is still Savoy 1 and it always good to treat yourself to a film there once in a while

    Ah, but are the seats comfy? I haven't been there since about a year before the redo so I really don't know. Cineworld's are quite nice.

    Not so nice when some f*ckwit is kicking back if for an hour and a half and cineworld is full of f*ckwits.

    AFAIK the biggest is the Ster followed by Savoy- same order for screen size as well. My personal preference is for the refurbished OMNI in Santry. Easy to get in and out of - an essential requuirement .

    I personally love star century cinema in liffey valley, very comfortable seating and screen one is nice and roomy, the sound has always been good to.

    I like ster century myself, tho last time i noticed a crackle in the speaker in screen 1 which was a touch annoying!

    Cineworld is good cos its in town and they have a bar!!

    I agree with most that Cineworld is THE only cinema worth going to in town!!
    17 screens means you're spoiled for choice from a range of genres both Hollywood and arthouse! The bar is sweet,the Q's usually move along quickly on a busy night but,ain't there always a but,I have to agree with MonkeyFudge in that at most evening shows of popular movies it's full of cinema terrorists!! Phones ringing and being answered,talking and on a couple of occasions fighting!!! The management need to be petitioned about the lack of staff in screens at any given time. And as for sound I've never had a problem with being seated very comfartably and having my head blown off at a good Horror or Action flick!!

    Ster sounds like overall the best from talking to other people since posting...

    I go to Cineworld a lot .. but its sound systems arent up to much... maybe in a couple of the bigger screens but its hard to find out what film is on in what screen...

    Again i dont mind of course for bog standard films but every now and then when a good sci-fi etc comes out... your missing half the production if your not getting the big picture/sound...

    Will try Ster at the weekend and report...
