Cinemas in Brentwood, Essex*

Places to go to see the latest releases

You can tell us more about Brentwood.

• Used to be a great (Art Deco Style) Odeon on the site where the New WH Smiths is (and Post Office) in the Bay Tree Centre. When that was demolished by Ball and Chain, they built Chapel High Shopping Centre encompassing 2 FOCUS, then after, Cannon Cinemas on there. I remember Mrs Manning and her Daughter Carol working there.
• baz or romf im afraid
• ther was a cinema but it was closed now. basildon is best
• Whatever happened to B-wood cinema...?
• What Cinema? The only Cinema Brentwood had was shut down in 2000 - try Basildon, Romford or Lakeside.
• not no more
• The cinema has actually closed down (although I can't remember the last time I went there anyway) due to an asbestos scare. The best place to go now is the UCI at Basildon's Festival Leisure Park (08700 102030).
• Gone :( Nadine
• There is nothing wrong with the Burnham-On-Crouch cinema that updating it 40yrs and painting it wouldn't fix thank u very much!!!!!
• the best thing they ever did to the cinema at brentwood was close it, 'cos it had lots of asbestos in it.not bad for a reasonably "new" cinema.
• Shut down coz it was crap!
• Brentwood Cinema shut about 3 years ago!!!!!!!!!! Had some Asbestos problem
• Brentwood Cinema was clothes due to asbestos poisoning!
• There isn't anything like that in Brentwood other than the Hermit
• ABC cinemas just closed due to aspesdos. its really good though. honest
• Had one us but it had aspestos - and no-one wanted to see that! Was affectionately known as the flea pit!
• Well we did have a cinema but it was in such bad need of renavating that it has been closed down permanently by the council dur to Asbestos (nice!)
• Brentwood cinema has closed now, due to asbestos!
• The only cinema in brentwood is the ne inchapel high,. Its now closed due to an asbestos leak. This sort of stupid thing happens in brentwood a lot. It was crap anyway. Chelmsford is better, or Romford if youre desperate - and i mean desperate.
• Brentwood cinema - hasnt it been closed down? All I can say is small seats, small screen, small everything,
• Cinema's in Basildon, used to be an ABC in brentwood but apparently that shut down
• The cinema is no more. Axa, who own the building, will not pay for the asbestos removal! So we have to go either to Lakeside, Bluewater, Basildon or Chelmsford!! and the council are worried shoppers are going elsewhere....come on sort it out!! Keep Brentwood alive! Give us our cinema back!!!
• Brentwood cinema may show some good films but you only stay to watch them because after 5 minutes it feels like your ass has been welded to the seat
• There was nothing like an hour queue to get in on a Monday night when it was £1. Can't remember any films that I saw (and I went every Monday for about a year) as we were too busy giving Lenny stick and singing to Pearl & Dean
• Brentwood cinema is NAFF with a capital everything! I would walk to the next nearest cinema if I could!!
• used to be that Camden Odeon (virtually West End) was cheaper than Brentwood Cinema and it shows more than one blockbuster and one kiddies film
• Cinema is now a little bit better than the flea pit it used to be. But I stress only a little bit. Do yourself a favour and go to Chelmsford or Basildon instead
• Whatever happened to £1 admittance on a Monday night? or who that bloke walking past was on the Starburgers advert? or whether Lenny still shines his torch in your face if you misbehave?
• BRENTWOOD CINEMA IS THE ONLY CINEMA THAT I CAN SAY IS WORSE THAN THE BURNAM-ON-CROUCH CINEMA!
• Go to Basildon/Lakeside - the seats are better, and more films
• Its small, just refurbished, expensive!
• There's a Cannon Cinema just off the High Street (Chapel High Shopping Centre) - it's cheap at only about £2.20 but it only has two screens and Lakeside, Thurrock is less than 20 minutes away with about 20 screens.
• 2 screen, getting on a bit, no dolby surround, but cheap tickets! 2 multi screens in lakeside (if you can drive)
• One 2 screen cinema, but with Lakeside 15 mins down the road, why bother?! Nothing much else to do.
