Cinemas
- arts picture house on st andrews street is good for arty indie films, really nice and homey.
- ARTS PICTURE HOUSE. End of story.
- Cineworld have fairly comfier seats than Vue. Arts Picturehouse is cool. Usual new films as well as documentaries, interesting indie films etc.
- Arts Picturehouse
- The only cinema within hiking distance is the arts picturehouse (it's almost five whole minutes away). The 'view' cinema is an absolute mish away. However, my home entertainment system in my study-bedrum offers me the full compliment of films without having to leave my precious college.
- Modern. Kile all of them
- Arts picturehouse is the best cinema in the country.
- Warner village, big dull multiplex with rip off food. It'll do. Regal -pub combined. New big multiplex being built Hills Road/Cherry Hinton Road
- If you go see a blockbuster movie at the grafton - now called Vue cinema - make sure its on screens 7 or 8 (they are the only 2 big ones and have great sound)
- Pretty good Cinema in The Grafton Centre
- WARNER BROS
- Warner Village - salright
- Warner Village, fairly big cinema type place with all the new films out, watch out for the moody bald man who sells tickets though. Also there is Lazer Quest near Argos on the Lion Yard side of Cambrige, not very big but still something cool to do when your bored
- The Picture house is cool, nice bar attached as well.
- Cineworld in Huntingdon is brilliant 'cause they show a huge range of movies1
- I remember the good old days when I was a sixth former and we would sometimes frequent laser quest. The place is a building of fun fun fun... the fact they always play the matrix album when inside the arena creates a surreal atmosphere as you attempt to destroy your opponents with demon red lasers.
Trick, bring in a mobile and ring your mate when inside to locate the bugger!
And do take note that it gets awfully sweaty so bare that in mind before you infiltrate back into the street smelling of crap.
- Warner Brothers in Grafton centre, absolute rip off. go to the Regal and reminice of times gone by sitting in the old MGM with your mates, pushing in the queue down in the alley way by the army clothes shop for Jurassic Park in 1993...etc
- warner bro's in the grafton centre...
- The Arts Picturehouse is fantastic, I would rather stick pins in my eye than go to the Warner Bros. in the oh so ugly Grafton centre..
- don't travel miles to come to the cinema... its well over priced... thank you warner brothers :-) Theres a cinema above the regal which shows more obscure random films ..
- definitely the posh but affordable Arts Picture House they have recent films as well as arty ones and it is alot cleaner and more respectable then the Warner cinema which all the kids go to.
- laser quest and warner bros.....and peterborough skatepark. bar hill skate park which is free.......free i tell u!!!!
- The Arts Cinema is brilliant, and has a great coffee shop.
- warner brothers in the grafton or the one above the regal down st andrews!
- Warners is very cold - pleaes turn down the air con. If you interested in seeing an old cinema go to teh bingo at the Central (Hobsons St behind Lloyds TSB in Sidney Street) on Saturdays and also the Regal - biggest Weatherspoons pub in UK
- To expensive
- Arts Picturehouse - Great place. Good bar that often has a beer for £1 a pint, fantastic sound in screens, gets some good old films (eg Marx Brothers)and new ones. Its above the Regal, but don't let that put you off. Comfy Sofas in the members bar, like being on Friends.
- The recent opening of the Picture House (above the Regal pub on Regent Street) will hopefully give the multiplex a run for its money, by showing more diverse
films, with cheaper prices and nicer screens.
- The Arts Cinema has shut, but a new one has opened with the new Wetherspoons (The Regal), the biggest pub in the UK.
- WE have the big old 8-screen Warner Village in the Grafton Centre, which is pretty decent. For not-so mailine stuff there's Cambridge Arts Cinema, which shows so wacko stuff. In term-time a lot of colleges have student film societies, adn ex-students can usually still get in to those.
The nearest bowling alley is Ely (which is a good but not big enough one) or Newmarket (6 lanes, old, but Cheap).
We have a laserquest too, but it's not in very good nick, and has to be the worst kept one i've ever been to, sadly.
- The only mainstream cinema remaining in Cambridge is the Warner Brothers complex at the Grafton Centre. It's not very good; very expensive and only two of three of the eight (?) screens are half-decent.
The Arts Cinema is often overlooked, but excellent. They show the smaller and foreign films that don't make it to the big cinemas.
- The Warner Brothers cinema is great - if you like to pay to queue to get a ticket, queue to get a coke, queue to see the film, queue to sit down and THEN queue to get out!!!!! The best cinema is the Arts...
- Big Warner Brothers cinema in the Grafton centre, probably the best cinema for miles around. I know someone who drives from Norfolk to use it.
- There is one cinema in the whole of fucking Cambridge, and its £5.20 if the film starts after 6pm!
- I love the Arts Cinema. Great programming, also cool special events - previews, directors speaker meetings etc. Chance to catch relatively new films after they've left the multiplexes. (and also before they get to the multiplexes) as well as wicked mix of arty stuff and mad foreign stuff. And it boasts Clowns 2, more of which below. ssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh. The ABC/MGM used to be the alternative, £2 for students, can't lose. but then they buillt the Warners.......... which is admittedly a great multiplex. comfy seats, yummy popcorn, big big big screens. but it caused the MGM to close which is a bad thing. college cinemas - don't know if you can get in if you aren't a student (worth a try, they probably don't check) but if you are, don't miss out. they're cheap they're cool and you can see pretty much anything that's been around in the last year or so as well as random selection of arty flicks if you keep your eyes open. look out for Peterhouse, Queens, Clare, Johns, Christs. (sorry if i've missed anyone....)
