    One of the best cinema experiences I've had. Clean, extremely comfortable recliners, loads of space, and an incredible audio/ video setup. We sat in seats C7 & C8 and the position was great. Would definitely recommend.

    Showcase is a great cinema, it offers a great viewing experience. The seats are comfortable and spacious. Adjustable with footrest. Reasonable food and drink for price. Has large car park with other food outlets nearby. Lovely clean toilets. Easy to purchase tickets, friendly staff. Still a really good cinema, great presentation and viewing experience. Some of the seats are now starting to show some signs of wear and could use a bit of TLC.

    From the parking, large parking area and it’s free parking. Designated area for blue badge holders. Wheelchair access doors. Tickets through online, counter and self service kiosks. At the lounge you have wide variety of hot,cold drinks including costa snacks and the variety of sweets at your own preferences and affordable prices .Fantastic cinema with lots of entertainment and games for children. Screen is best in viewing quality and average in size. Comfortable recliner chairs. Sound system is incredible. Toilets are clean and wheel chair friendly.

    This cinema is great, it's out of town so it's much less busy, means you can normally get a decent seat. The prices are okay but the refreshments are absolutely ridiculous, went last week and a drink and some pop corn came to nearly £10 🤷 no need really that is just robbery. The ice cream is amazing gotta be the start of the show, the milkshakes are so good. Always clean and tidy, staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

    Decent cinema. Worth the trip as it's a bit out of the way. Seats are comfy and better than average. Didn't see an IMAX but the screen size was good. Typical foods and snacks available.

    Not impressed. Paid £15 a ticket for the Xplus screen and the view from row C is partially obscured by the backs of the chairs on row B. Sound and video were good but whoever designed this was an idiot. I'll come again but I'll be careful to pick seats with an unobstructed view. Update: came again, view was better. Seats still aren't that comfortable considering they are adjustable.

    This is the first time I have been to the showcase Nottingham in many years as we do not live in the city. As it happened I was very pleasantly surprised. When booking the seats we thought the prices were quite high for a cinema bit as we were already in the area on that day, we thought we would go there for convenience. As soon a we went into the actual screen room to watch the film we were amazed by the seating. Really comfortable seats that were padded. They reclined in such a way as to not encroach on other people. The rows were set out so that nobody had to move to let others pass. It was spacious and the air con was set so you didn't freeze. Over all a very very comfortable way to watch a film. Would highly recommend and would do it again. Spending that little bit extra was worth it.

    Went to see insidious, personally not a great film. However showcase is great on a Tuesday with Meerkat 241. Great to see the guy checking tickets still enjoining his job probably 15+ years, can’t remember his name but always friendly and polite.

    Not been here in 16 yrs, and as I hardly manage to go out been disabled didn't fancy going to where I used to, travel by taxi so that made it easy to get there. It's smart plenty of room and we went when it was quiet, so that made a difference to how I cope. Popcorn and nachos were nice. Seating is fantastic, posh seats, with leg room. There were good toilets and disabled toilets. Staff were very nice and helpful. Might be out of the way for those without cars who cannot afford taxi journey, but it was a pleasant experience for me and my disabled son, which is what matters. Unlike another cinema we used to go to this is far easier for disabled to use.

    This is an average ‘showcase’ cinema - the carpark is round the back of the cinema which looks rundown & dirty with the big bins & back entrance for staff - once you have walked around to the front the cinema is big & spacious. The carpets were not overly clean & staff seemed bored. Toilets were clean, but only 1 soap dispenser was working. Cinema itself was clean & spacious. The chairs are lovely & the ones we had reclined & were comfortable. Food is pricey - but that’s cinemas in general.

    Super comfy with its reclining chairs. Clean and friendly. We took our own treats because they're so expensive in there but bought drinks which were massive slashes, although we're purchased medium. A great place to go!

  • 5/5 Andrew T. 2 years ago on Google
    Saw Spiderman No Way Home in screen number 9. Covid restrictions are in place and masks are to be worn at all times in the building unless eating or drinking. Chairs are incredibly comfortable and (I believe) all have electronic reclining and foot rest controls located on the inside right arm rest on my each chair. Audiodescriptive and Subtitled showings also available. Cinema was comfortable, air con/heating was at a comfortable temperature throughout.

    Very polite staff. Comfortable seating (though I use a bag for a back bolster), great screen, we were viewing Avatar : TWOW in 3D, and it worked incredibly well. Sound levels good too - not overly, unnecessarily loud. Nice popcorn, Moretti beer tasted good, if both a tad expensive (popcorn more so than the beer!)

    Wonderful seats. I asked if I had dropped my address book and Michelle was so pleasant: she went out of her way to look thoroughly for me. Great member of staff. Thank you. X

    I had such an amazing experience here. There is an ample parking space. The area around the building is clean and well lit. The establishment is very clean and tidy. The staff at the reception is very polite, welcoming and helpful. The process of tickets and seat allocation is very straight forward. The snacks are of really good quality and you can also get pizza and stuff. The screens and seating arrangement are both excellent. The seats have 4 functions and are very comfortable to sit in. The sound quality of rooms is excellent and gives you a very immersive experience. I recommend this place to all my friends and family.

    Watched "Black Adam" here this morning. Comfy reclining seats, excellent surround sound, great picture quality too. Only three people watching this movie at this showing! Weird to have the auditorium pretty much to ourselves, and be outnumbered by staff. Overall, a good experience.

    Brill cinema! free car park, clean and good selection of food, snacks and drinks. Soda machines and pick & mix - on the higher side price wise for that than the supermarkets, but good as a treat. They have the big leather reclining chairs too. The cinema is wheelchair/ puchchair accessible. They have self serve tickets machines or you can speak to a assistant all the staff are really friendly and polite never had a problem :) Plus the complex has food restaurants around it, bowling Ali next to it as well. so you could make a good day out in the area.

  • 5/5 Lara T. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely, comfortable leather seats, and I loved the reclining option. Massive slushies bigger than anywhere else I've been to, and in four flavours! The popcorn was also very generous, and the staff served with a smile. An overall great experience - plus it has air conditioning, and it was a lifesaver during the sudden UK heatwave

    First time going to the Showcase in many years. Went to see Dune (which is an excellent film but the way). We were totally blown away by the plush, really comfy reclining seats and oceans of leg room. Picture was good. Sound terrific. 4 instead of 5 stars as the popcorn/sweets and drinks were eye wateringly expensive.

  • 5/5 Max W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great cinema - the seats are comfy (electric sofas!) and love the screens & sound there. A bit far from city centre but the tram stops at Queens Medical Centre which is about a 15 min walk from there (£3.40 for a day ticket)

    Came on Sunday afternoon very comfortable reclining seats,as we expect now.freeparking which is a bonus these days. very busy at times used the discount as I'm 60 now good discount will return

  • 4/5 Mick S. 2 years ago on Google
    Facilities were good. Seats comfortable, but the auditorium was way too cold. Had to watch the film with my coat done up.

  • 4/5 Luke A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great screens with comfy seats and friendly staff. No real vegan options other than drinks, popcorn isn’t guaranteed vegan due to cross contamination with animal products (no gloves used by staff touching meat and dairy items). Ice Cream counter doesn’t provide a vegan option either.

    Went to see The King's Man great film. Reclining seats are good, plenty of leg room. Like all cinemas the food prices are extortionate, take your own.

👍👍 Absolutely amazing! I went to have lunch on my graduation day with my friends. Food was very flavourful and cocktails were nice. Special dietary options are available and you always get 2-4-1 cocktails. Service was really friendly and approachable. Ambience and music is just cherry on top.
