Showcase Cinema

Worst cinema I have ever been two staff does not believe your age so I am never setting foot in that cinema again and they just lost a very valuable customer

The Showcase cinema has plenty of parking and nearby there are some places to eat if you fancy a bite before or after your movie. The staff are quite pleasant and you have a varied choice of films to watch there.

Showcase Cinema would be better off renaming themselves Family Friendly Cinema.
Seriously.
Whilst the Odeon show weekly art-​house, independent and classic movies via their Director’s Chair and OAP screenings, Showcase shows exclusively family orientated flicks. There’s cartoon animations and Disney adaptations for the toddlers, The A-​Team and The Karate Kid for young’uns and Twilight for lovestruck teens. To top it off, they usually have a couple of thrillers and rom-​coms — like Knight & Day and Inception — for mum and dad.
The only drawback is the cinema itself is hopelessly old fashioned compared to Cineworld and Odeon ONE. Given an update like the chain’s Cinema de Lux in Bristol however, it could be the No 1 choice for young families.

I just passed the Showcase today and they do screen certain films in 3D, such as Toy Story 3 — hooray! One of my all time favourites.

The Showcase is well past its sell by date. When it first opened it was the first of a new generation of multiplex cinemas straight from the USA. What seemed like a million screens surrounded by bars and restaurants is now a big cinema lined by drive thru takeaways.
Thank God cinemas in the city centre have found their footing again with drinks available for adults and real restaurants and bars in the vicinity — although I still long for the flea pit cinema without the pretentious screenings that now populate our screens!
The showcase has become such a family orientated cinema that you can barely escape a screening without a bunch of kids and there are few films that would not warrant such an audience

The Showcase is a decent cinema, on a retail park with several eateries. It never seems particularly busy, which you may or may not enjoy — personally, I like it, because at other cinemas I’ve had the experience of watching a film ruined by a thousand teenagers sitting at the back and shouting at each other (on their mobile phones).
The staff are friendly enough, and ticket prices are in line with other cinemas in Liverpool. The confectionary section in the foyer is reasonably stocked, and the confectionary booths in the corridors near the screens are usually closed.
Perhaps this is because I’ve only been there on weekdays or in the daytime.
