Odeon Cinema

This cinema is a bit pants in all honesty. It started off promisingly when it first opened a few years ago but has been going downhill ever since. It’s understaffed, I think, pn quieter days and I’ve been there waiting to buy a ticket for a good 10 – 15 minutes, unable to find anyone who actually worked there. The food is pretty nasty and without sounding too harsh, I wouldn’t have trusted the person behind the counter to butter my toast, so vacant were they.
The screens themselves are a bit grubby and don’t get cleaned properly after each screening. There’s drink on the floors, sometimes sweets on the seats and you have to take a look before you sit down. It’s not any cheaper than your standard Odeon prices and so for that, if you would be troubled by dirty screens, I suggest you heald elsewhere!

I’m not quite sure why, but I think that this is probably the worst Odeon that I’ve ever been to.
Situated in the Bridgend Designer Outlet, this cinema is hiding up above the food court. To start with, this feels a little odd. I think cinemas should be whole buildings unto themselves. It’s right that way. (Here I’m reminded of a cinema I couldn’t find in Hanoi, Vietnam. It was on the very top of a mall-​like building, only there were no stairs or lifts unless you were coming up from the motorcycle park underneath. Very weird, although entirely irrelevant!)
The screens themselves are not very big and a remember that there was a fair bit of noise leaking from the screen next door when I went to see a film there.
Also, because this is a smaller branch of the chain, they tend to only have the more popular releases. For foreign or arts films, you’ll have to go somewhere else.

latest films –seats comfortable-​no one really policing inside so best chairs taken by people who obviously didnt pay for them. Ridiculous prices for sweets and drinks-​we sneak in our own or could not afford that as well as cost of cinema. miserable staff

This is a pretty poor cinema with ridiculous prices. The seats here are fairly low quality and it’s always fairly crowded with never any active security in order to stop people talking and/​or messing around during the picture. Prices for the food there are amazingly high, so I’d recommend heading over to Sainsburys instead if you want to take in some snacks. This is the only cinema near to me, so I used to go here a fair bit but then going to cinemas like that in Swansea shows you just how, well, terrible this cinema is. If you really want to see a film, I’d recommend really just checking for another in your area because this isn’t at all worth the trip, and I wouldn’t call it a day out: a day out implies something positive, I think.

A great cinema in a convenient location meaning you can have some food and watch a film all in the same place. It is expensive here but you can get discounts. Lots of car parking space which is of course free of charge. You must try an Ice Blast they are lush!

A very clean and large cinema situated in the mcarthur glen designer outlet in bridgend. Always showing the latest films.
Staff are also very friendly and ticket purchases are both easy and quick. This branch also accepts the orange wednesdays promotion for BOGOF tickets.

Very clean 9 screen cinema that shows the latest films. The staff are very polite and will always try their best to make your film enjoyable as possible (ie. ejecting immature people).
Accepts Orange wednesdays

Great location for a cinema, very convenient. Plenty of resteraunts for you to eat at after the film. Very expensive but they do have discounts for OAP’s and Students. They also participate in the Orange Wednesday promotion. Plenty of car parking avalible.
