i enjoy going to the cinema regularly , but i must say that now it has turned into a expensive habit of mine, being that it now cost £5.20 to see a film at the odeon cinema in my own town, which is the chepaest adult ticket that you can get.

this is quite a ludicrous price, as for me and my friends (around 5 of us at time) it costs £26.00 to see one movie, where as if we go down to the nearest blockbuster it will cost just £3.20 to rent the latest release's.


The advantages though of going to the cinema is that you get to see the latest releases and if seeing any movie, you can experience a more tense or improved atmosphere then you can at home.

The complaint that i have towards the odeon cinema's is that of their phone booking system, i recently wanted to book two seats to watch the Bridget Jones movie (excellant), but it must have taken 5 minutes or more just to get to the point of credit card booking and to entering my details.i got half way through that and it became a mess,and the women on the other end (automated computer response) was making no sense at all,so i hanged up.it also included a charge, plus the fee on my telephone bill.

so in the end i gave up and went down to the odeon myself where i brought my tickets over the counter and didnt have to pay a booking fee

then the cost of some cinema goodies to take into the cinema, the food at the odeon is really expensive at about £2.00 for a medium drink , then theres medium popcorn for about £2.00 aswell, so a night out at the cinema comes to about a tenner

I do agree that the "normal" price at ODEON is pretty bad, however, if you visit monday to thursday before 5pm the cost is only £3.60 which is far more reasonable. Of course, I understand that this is not viable for a lot of people. Good op. Neil.

It is helpful to write your op in Word first, to check for spelling mistakes before posting onto the website.

Sorry for the low rating. This could have been a very good op but there are so many spelling mistakes that it is very difficult to read. I will happily re-rate it if you correct the mistakes.
