• ufhsrfsr
• tiny two sreen cinemar in felix. multiscreen in ipswich
• Terrible ,awful olny two screens crap uncultured Amercian films no choice and expensive £5 for what youre getting .
• The ironically named “Palace”. A total flea pit, even to the standards of easily impressed Felixstowe residents, who can often be bribed with pieces of tinfoil. The best cinema in the area is probably Woodbridge’s Riverside Theatre, but Ipswich has a big CineWorld too.
• the Palace Cimema is a great facility, and one that we will lose if it is not used more. Yes by all means go to Ipswich if that is what you want but for my part a stroll up to the 'local' to see a reasonably up to date film and then to be able to have a meal in one of several restaurants in town after (or before the show) is great. Yes, the staff may be less than young and the cimema a little quaint but to me that is an advantage, a pleasant and friendly venue, long may it continue.
• To all the disparaging critics here - you have no soul. Felixstowe Palace cinema is truly magical, and it will be a tragic loss if (or more likely when) it changes or disappears. True, it is old fashioned, but where else can you get a cup of coffee brought to your seat in a proper mug? Where else do you get polite service from long standing friendly staff (compared with the grunts from 5-minute teenagers in the Ipswich mainstream cinemas). The Palace is not used nearly enough, and that will no doubt be its downfall, though should that happen it will be sadly and sorely missed by the discerning public. Long live the Palace - that's what I say.
• If you don't mind the shabby out of date cinema than you can go to the Palace (which does have a certain charm!)in Felixstowe on the otherhand you can go to the UGC or Odean in Ipswich.
• the flea pit....still has the stain on the screen that has been there ever since i movered there in 1985
• Palace cinema, Two screens showing fairly upto date movies although most people slag it off for not having films the same time as Ipswich but this is the way the film distributors work and if those same people whinging would support it once in a while it could soon attract the films sooner.
• flea pit....is the ice cream stain on screan 1 still there?
• I would never pay a fiver to go felixstowe cinema they must be joking!!
• The Felixstowe cinema is truely awfull I,ve been going to Ipswich for the last five years to see films.Their is usually an old women behind the till who sells tacky outdated sweets and two small screens which show tacky outdated films. Even the bingo next door does better business,although their are plans to replace the decaying cinema with hotel which was also include a one screen cinema and a casino.
• Palace Cinema - 2 screens, very dingy. Films only come on here about a month after they've been released because we get the reels after the major cinemas are done with them, and only then do we get mainstream films. No art-house stuff here - it would only confuse them - especially the subtitles, since half the populace is illiterate. Apparently a local businessman plans to turn the Palace building into a hotel, close one cinema screen and set up a casino. Unlikely to actually happen - that would be far too interesting for Felixstowe.
• The old Palace cinema
• Support your local cinema!!! at least it's convenient, and it's still better then waiting for the video. If your'e not impatient to see a particular film then it's definately worth a visit.
• the palace (the flea pitt)
• Felixstowe cinema looks like a 70's Porn Theatre; pretty apt, as the latest movie to show was probably made in the 70's. The floor makes a squelching sound as you walk, there are more staff than customers, it doesn't even have stereo sound (never mind Digital Surround or whatever), and it costs, like, �5 to see anything. Go to Ipswich instead, UGC rocks the free world.
• Good memories of the cinema and the staff. I one lost a bracelet and in the middle of the movie, I was asked if I had lost it. In fact I did, and it was found and returned to me in that very moment.
• I Went to see Jurassic Park in Felixstowe cinema....HEHEHE....Apparently it was supposed to be the best surround sound experiance ever. I did n't think it was much better than my old tranny radio. THEN I LOOKED. There was one 10 inch speaker wobbling away in front of the screen. By god my car has a better system than that.....It was F funny..=:0)
• oh why oh why have we still got this dump they call the Palace ?
• You may have been to the fleepit but I haven't, it's always Ipswich we go to sleep through the latest film.
• There is only one town-centre cinema and they specialise in the straight to video kind of movies, and the hopelessly out of datemovies, current 'blockbuster' being Top Gun.
• one with 2 screens that gets movies when there on video.
• Who need's films when town life is so fun?
• the palace-a bit crappy
• For the most information about film Scene here and in Ipswich look at http://www.ipswich-live.co.uk, its the site supporting the weekly magazine which is free in the Evening Star (regional newspaper of the year 3 out the last 4 years) every Tuesday
• Cinema is very small.. there's a 'laser Quest' down at the fair but its rubbish cos you're always playing virtually by yourself + ridiculous numbers of arcades
