Anyway, as I previously mentioned I am not THAT fussed about going to see Disney's Tangled lovefilm.com/reviews/Tangled, but my friend wants to see it and I mainly just want to check the Cineworld on Glasgow Renfrew Street in order to give my opinion on Glasgow's cinemas. We went to see the 18.40 showing of the film, so not to late. However, as soon as we got there I remembered one thing that annoyed me about this cinema the queue was outside the door. Luckily though we had left plenty time, however, it's February and it’s still freezing outside. The queue does move quite quickly though- we waited for around 15 minutes- and before you know it you have got your ticket and you are making your way up the many floors to your screen. It annoys me though how you have to pay extra for 3D glasses but I guess it is my fault I always forget my own pair and then end up with a stack of them at home.
I really like how this particular cinema is quite unique to all the other Cineworld cinemas I have been to. They all seem to be warehouses but as this one is soooo tall it adds character to the experience.
The thing that I find differs from this cinema in comparison to the other cinemas in Glasgow is normally you purchase your drinks and sweets when you purchase your tickets. Here when you get to the floor where your film will be shown that’s where you purchase these, which means another few minutes of standing in a queue and what feels like theft- the drinks and snacks in this cinema are really expensive- then we are all ready to go....
I have to admit the movie 3D Tangled was great, and I would recommend it to everyone young and old. It's witty, funny, charming and most of all the songs are extremely catchy. For any people who are going to see it look out for the horse in it - comic genius. I found the whole experience really enjoyable the seats were comfy, the picture was good, even though the 3D glasses do give you a head ache. However, if you are going to charge crazy amounts of money for tap Diet Cola at least make it taste good and not like water!
However, on the way back down from the film we decided to go in the glass lift. The views from this lift are just stunning, and I think if I were a tourist or even a regular THIS would entice me to the cinema over all others. This makes the cinema special and not only a place for watching films but something of a tourist attraction, as it provides amazing views of Glasgow.
I really enjoyed the film and will probably be quoting it and singing the songs for the next week, but I was there primarily to analyse the cinema. Overall apart from the queues and the prices I really enjoyed the experience the sheer height of the cinema makes it unusual and a spectical and its location is perfect for me being right bang in the centre of Glasgow. However, the staff, the colour scheme and practically everything inside was predictable and it made me think that it is just like all the other chain companies. You like it but it is exactly what you expect. It's like when you go to Costa Coffee or Starbucks it's nice but it's always more special when you go to a quaint little cafe. So I think the next cinema I am going to review I want it to be smaller with hopefully some personality and then I can analyse my experience their in comparison.
There you go that’s my experience on the Cineworld on Glasgow Renfrew Street. Now share yours....
