Top Gun is the only film I think I want to see this year

Ghostbusters could be good too if they get it right.

“Nobody “ is getting a release in the odeon although there’s a whole thread of people who’ve seen it already


Excellent movie

I saw that seemingly they are mid refurb.

I am going to the odeon point village to see a quiet place part 2 on Monday. Big screen and it's like a ghost town at the best of time.
Plus I had a voucher from 2019 so it was free

Really good reviews so far aswell so it's looking like it won't disappoint.

Great to be back in a cinema but the idea was a terrible experience.

Counted 22 people either mot wearing a mask or wearing it under their chins with no enforcement from the staff/management.

Despite being sold out, people were still turning up. Then they were selling takeaway food and people were wueueing to buy that mixed in with people who wanted to see the movie.

Got to the place at 19:50 for a 20:30 movie, got into the screen at 21:05. Missed about 20/30 mins.

First day back and all that but can’t believe they were so disorganised and didn’t anticipate this.

Not impressed.

They should have had a separate queue for take away and then prioritised based on start time.

Had invested in proper atmos surround and a big screen suiting the first lock down. Looks like I’ll be going back to it.

I went to the cinema in Dundrum today and thought place was filthy. Carpet was black and sticky. Would've thought the might have used the lockdown to give the place a bit of a cleanup but obviously not.

At their seats or in the lobby area when walking around? As I'm fairly sure you don't have to wear the mask at your seat in the cinema like in a restaurant etc.

In the lobby. No mask required while seated

Went to Omniplex last night to see A quiet place II and it was a glorious experience. Great to be back, the movie was an absolute belter, everything ran smoothly. Walked in, was directed up the stairs, scanned ticket, took seat, simple and no problems at all.

If any of you live in Dublin you should go to Stella cinema, the difference in the experience is unreal. You pay more than local cinema but its worth every penny.

We went yesterday afternoon, had ordered hot food and popcorn.

The popcorn and drinks were waiting for us in our seats and hot food brought down to us.

It's only a small cinema but very spacious between seats and only about 40% full yesterday(probably due to nice weather!)

Quiet Place 11 was brilliant and you wouldn't get the atmosphere watchinh it at home on your TV.

I always make a point of going to the Stella if I'm in Dublin and I have a few hours to kill. It's always a pleasure.

It's been on my visit list since I saw some article on it last year. It looks a memorable experience
