Dimitar Ivanov

Best Cinema around especially if you go into Xplus screening which is always the best experience. There is also Costa onsite , typical cinema food and free parking

Starskreem T

Considering this cinema costs the same as other ones, it's now miles above the competition. Great sound and massive reclining seats in the XPLUS screens .

Ahmed Ridha

Great cinema . Great comfy seats and lots of leg room. Some screens also come with electric recliners as standard. No extra cost for VIP seating . Definite plus

Mada ???????? ????????‍♀️☕️

Best cinema in Reading I highly recommend it - they have awesome chairs and I would advise if you become a member in the website you will get a discount on food and beverage

Andrew Talaga

Great seats as discussed on other reviews, I’d suggest you book via the app as it has no booking fee. A Website booking adds 60p per ticket for no benefit.

Al Stewart

Huge, comfortable , reclining seats . Loads of free parking . The X-Plus screen is enormous and the sound system is excellent.

Henry Thompson

Always nice to visit here but their refusal to refund a ticket cost for our disabled friend, who’s eligible for a free ticket for a carer, was shockingly bad. Apparently now you must ring to book !

Paul Taylor

The Chips 'n' Cheese are loverly here !. Screens 13 and 14 are the daddy, but they typically only have crap films in them. It would also be nice if you could see what films are in each theatre

Edward W

Great cinema . Web site is terrible however, as it's subcontracted to some uncaring company who are a nightmare to get hold of. So be patient with it and use it well in advance.

Gilly Thorne

Friendly and civilised. Nice to have a lounge bar upstairs and you can take drinks into movie !

Andrew Walker

Fantastic cinema . Register as an insider on their website for discounted tickets.

Debo Goodman

Get a showcase card - free to sign up and pay only £5 per person all day Monday and Tuesday's also from 6:30 on Sundays. Enjoy

Dominic Banks

Remember your insider card to get cheaper viewing on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and I think Wednesday now

Peter Baggett

I like the fact that all their seats are luxury ones and not just a few.

Kelly Beazley

Crazy reclining seats here now, but their car park exit back right up and makes people late to watch their film .

Nigel Bradlaw

The updates are fantastic great seats and a Megga experience now

Justin List

Love the reclining seats

reilly hewitson

They've got really comfy reclining seats in every screen for no extra cost !

Richard Peat

Worth paying extra for the X-Plus/Dolby Atmos equipped screen.

Robert Moorhouse

The reclining seats are really comfortable .

Ellie Fediuk

Car park floods. Be careful where you do park if your movie is a bit longer and if it has been raining a lot!

Paul Taylor

Chips & Cheese are excellent !. Save a small forune and bring your own drinks.

ᴡ Hutchinson

The adjustable seats are most awesome, good legroom

Henry Thompson

Waited ages to buy a ticket with discount voucher which wouldn’t work online, 1 person only on ticket desk, 3 or more guys in shirts n ties, presumably management, standing around talking, useless!

Ben Morse

Matinee rates have now changed, so afternoon showings are cheaper again. But Tuesday prices have increased slightly also.

Henry Thompson

Good size screen and good seats

Julie Dyer

The new chairs are amazing

Dorian Logan

Fab seats and great screens

Graeme Hutchison

If you come here you should see a film , they are like tv programmes, only longer.

Sarah Buchanan

Comfy seats for a lazy Sunday afternoon viewing

Nicholas Poole

Screen 14 is epic. It's a small screen that's kitted out better than the Vue. Every seat is VIP+

Mike Wilson

Great reclining seats

Ben Morse

All screens now use digital projectors . Screens 12,13 & 14 are all refitted, VIP seating as standard.

Paul Corsbie Smith

Good food at Costa

Luke

There’s a regular Costa inside.

Jaimie McGuire

Gotta love those lazy-boy seats!

Paul T

Man of Steel ... at least one if us loved it ... Boom!

Kirsty Shepherd

The reclining seats are so comfy !

Saira MacLeod

Stopped going here because its too expensive , old decor, small uncomfortable seats and staff are rude. Much prefer Vue Cinema in The Oracle. Much more modern and get more for your money.

Nicolas Doye

Some of the seating here is old fashioned and very uncomfortable.

The Num Num

Movietickets works here - but they need to upgrade to a deluxe!

Adrian Tate

Better seats than Vue.

Edward W

Beware the website, especially the ticket system, which makes you very angry as it charges and is unforgiving. Really embarrassing for Showcase and undermines such a nice cinema .

Ellie Hadyoon

You can use orange Wednesday code here :)

Sue Smith

Shame some of the staff are not more helpful :(

Edward W

Cinema is great, Web site a nightmare and the ticketing company that runs it are very unhelpful if you make a mistake so be careful. Also charge 60p. Showcase should sort not use movietickets .com.
