    It is one of the only cinemas that have South Asian movie listings in the area. However, my experience here has been a mixed bag - why? The Positive Aspects + Large cinema (16 screens) with plenty of movie listings. + Great location - there are plenty of places to park nearby and plenty of places to eat too (there’s a Nando’s right outside!) + Ticket prices are generally good - a standard adult cinema ticket, at the time of this review, is £5.99. The Not-So-Positive Aspects - The cinema is severely understaffed - just getting popcorn in a queue with just one person in front of you, can take upwards of 15 minutes (come with ample time!). Genuinely slow service. - Avoid queuing at the tills - prebook your tickets if you can! - The cinema facilities are old and dilapidated (as seen in the review pictures). Also, the cinema seats are not very comfortable. - There is an ice-cream stand in the lobby - but in my experience - it’s rarely manned - I have consistently not been able to buy myself any.

    I've been a Cineworld Unlimited member since March 2022, using the black card, and I must say I'm extremely disappointed. Lately, it seems like they've been cutting corners by not switching on all the speakers during most of the films. This has significantly impacted the overall movie-watching experience. As a loyal member, I expect better quality and service. Unfortunately, the recent experiences have been far from satisfactory.

    Awful awful cinema. Why would anyone choose to go here? Firstly you have to pay for parking. It's in Bradford centre and the car park is dark and creepy. When we went two of the machines were broken. Secondly, the seats are not comfortable. Looks like the whole place hasn't been touched since 1970. Toilets stinks. Thirdly, the audience was SO badly behaved. Loud, on phones, walking in late, etc. Dreadful. Won't be back.

    God awful experience. Corridors smell of urine, seats uncomfortable as hell, temperature far too hot and so many people on their phones. Normally go to The Light but that was booked out for The Batman showing I wanted to go to. First time in Cineworld since The Light opened and I will definitely not be stepping foot in Cineworld again!

    Shocking service. Would rate this 0 stars if I could. Went to watch Black Panther and the way I was dealt with in terms of customer service was appalling. No signs of respect shown. I had purchased a voucher online which needed to be redeemed, firstly I went in and was told that the voucher had already been used which didnt make sense as I had purchased the items earlier in the morning. Secondly my popcorn combo was out of stock and I wasnt given any alternative options. Instead was made to purchase the items again separately I asked for a receipt as was promised a refund for the vouchers purchased only to be told I need to contact customer services which again is misleading from your point of view. There needs to be serious customer service training. During the movie there was an usher flashing his light at the front of the screen Appalling service. Would never recommend there’s better cinemas out there than this Doubt ill get a response

    It looks quite run down. The queues were long because there was only 1 person serving. Then the back row was full of very loud teenagers (none of whom wore masks) who talked and generally made noise throughout the film. I asked them to be quiet which they managed for about 5 minutes. Another person in the theatre complained to the usher so the teenagers were asked to be quiet. They weren't. I complained to the ushers who called someone else to tell them off. Again they were quiet for 5 minutes. I complained to the manager when I was leaving. I said they should have been thrown out as soon as more than 1 person complained. I was offered free tickets but I declined. I won't be going there again. The seats were also uncomfortable. Back to reliable Odeon.

    Cineworld is a decent cinema. There's nothing wrong with it although there are now more comfortable cinemas around. I would describe it as "standard" - nothing extraordinary to write home about but nothing faulty. The ticket prices are reasonable and on this occasion the staff were friendly and helpful. Everything else is standard fare: good enough seats, decent sound system, good picture quality, decent toilets, etc.

    Cinema itself is not as fancy as some of the more modern ones locally but great value. On today's visit we had an issue with self checkout and staff member named Azeem stepped in to make sure we got sorted. Really friendly and attentive 5* service thanks Azeem

    Worst theatre experience especially they are not switching off the the light in the theatre ...really its not acceptable while watching a movie... And when we ask about this they are telling about the child safety . But I am wondering how its applicable while watching a 15 rated movies... Moreover it says Dolby digital... but we couldn't feel any best sound quality....I think they are not connected the sound system properly.

    Overall a fairly large cinema, very cheap with standard tickets setting you back £6 and 3D tickets being roughly £9~ however the downside is… this cinema is stuck in the early 2000’s. It bears the old cineworld logos and signage everywhere, and has not got the updated digital screens. The concourse hall is practically empty, with a few arcade machines and the ticket desks. The staff are polite and cheerful but I’m rating this 3 for the lack of modern auditoriums. Screens 1-6 from what I’ve seen have been updated but the rest of the screens (7-16) are old, and the seats are not raise high enough so if you seat in the front rows you will see people’s heads. It needs a massive refurbishement. ASAP

    The screen was full of noisy rude underage children who somehow managed to access the 15. The males behind me were smoking weed and the annoying person in front was recording large sections of the film on her Snapchat story. I will not be visiting here again - the people ruined the film for me.

    Chairs have lost most stuffing so can be very uncomfortable. The issue in screen 3 is that you don't have row a O so that's rather confusing. The staff are rather happy. But noticed the other day that there were 2 rather slow staff on the tills. Surely should have one trainee and one confident member of staff.

    The worst experience in my history of movie going. Firstly, it was £3 for a ticket but that doesn't mean you have a bad experience. The floor was covered in popcorn. It was so busy that when I went at 8pm for when the movie starts I was told screen is not ready and to wait till staff shout out its ready. Secondly, nobody told us its ready I walked through and managed to catch a trailer. Anyway, the queues for food was ridiculous so I decided I'll go an hour into the movie which was quieter but the nachos had ran out and I missed 20 mins of the film! As for the quality of the screen it felt like it was 720p. Sticking to Odeon from now on.

    This is one thee best cinemas one could visit and watch a movie. Ample parking spaces in the car park and easy access for all visitors. Very clean, tidy and spacious and comfortable seating to make the cinematic experience even better. Great places to eat at outside or to take a quick break during intervals.

    The worst experience I have had in a cinema. There was someone sitting in our seats. Security tries and failed to get them to move. We complained several times to the ushers and then the manager. The manager was rude and said he couldn't force people to move. He wasn't helpful at all. He basically said what do you expect for a £3 ticket. It was their promotion so they should have had the staff to sort things out. I told the manager I'd been here before and paid full price and those experiences left a lot to be desired too. The staff especially the manager needs to learn customer service skills. We asked to see another movie or the same movie at the next showing but we were told that we couldn't as all screens were full. This is not true as we checked on the website to see if we could book tickets. By the time they cleared our seats we hav missed over 20 mins of the movie (the actual movie not the adverts). I will not being going there again. I would rather pay more at the light cinema then to come here again. Very very disappointing.

    Great little cinema. Great location with a few choices to eat nearby. Free parking, too, when you get ticket stamped at ticked counter. Make sure park at level 4 for access to cinema on same floor.

    Cineworld day? What a absolute shamble, no where near enough staff for cleaning, the corridors were a absolute mess with food and drink cartons all over. One person staffed for checking tickets and sending them to the right screen. Was really run down inside. No point in booking particular seats on the website for veiwing since people just sit where ever anyway regardless. Not other customers fault. Really needs to be updated and better cleaning.

    Was in Bradford and thought id pop into the local cinema. Was a bit confused as to where to go to buy tickets but this lovely chap looking like borat came over to help. He went on a till just for me and gave me tickets also he served me food saying ill save so much if i upgrade to a large pop corn with a small drink. All in all its a good cinema with very friendly staff.

    Great Theater Cineworld is undoubtedly a nice place to watch movies, and the overall theater experience is quite enjoyable. The seating and screen quality are impressive, creating an immersive environment for moviegoers. However, I have noticed a recurring issue with some movies where the full sound is not adequately provided. It's disappointing when the audio seems to be lacking or not properly balanced, which can take away from the overall movie-watching experience. I hope Cineworld takes this feedback into consideration and ensures that all movies are presented with the highest audio quality possible. With improved sound management, Cineworld would be a top-notch destination for movie enthusiasts. Despite this concern, I'll still consider visiting Cineworld for its comfortable ambiance and great selection of films. I'm optimistic that the theater will address the audio issue and continue to offer an enjoyable cinematic experience.

    The staff were all lovely, but the lobby was sparse with limited waiting area. The main issue was that the seats inside the showing room were physically impossible to sit on unless you’re happy to fall between the large gap between the actual seat and the back of the chair if you actually wish to recline. I’m not expecting a full recliner chair by any means but at least a seat that fulfils its designated purpose.

    Took my kids to watch new troll movie bought them a cup each with a character on top for 7 pounds each expecting a drink in it no!! not only that they are not permitted to put a drink in the cup I would have to buy it separately and put it in myself then 8 pound for large popcorn with no flavour.Once bitten twice shy never again and did I mention it’s a dump.Only came here because the light wasn’t showing at a time we could make.

    Went to see sonic 2 today. All the staff were friendly and polite, the theatre was clean, tidy, and warm, and there were no queues anywhere. Huge choice of sweets, ice-cream, drinks, popcorn, etc, but at typical cinema prices.

  • 1/5 Danielle N. 1 year ago on Google
    Where to start. Pick n mix sweets are harder than they should be which suggests they're stale. The 'slush' machine was broken and they didn't have the advertised flavour anyway! Went for a toilet trip prior to 3 hour+ screening as I'm pregnant. The toilets were REVOLTING. Some were blocked, broken, no tissue and the smell... wow, it was so vile I exited without using a toilet through fear of vomiting! The seats in the screen were outdated, small and uncomfortable. Could practically feel the man sitting behind me breathing down my neck the rows are that narrow! Will be driving to Leeds for our next cinema trip.

    As far as Cineworld cinemas go it's tired and shabby but I guess that's why the price if tickets are so low. Stains and marks on the screen, not enough to spoil a film but definitely a distraction. Service was very slow at the kiosk. Great for a budget cinema trip but there'such better cinemas locally

  • 2/5 Suchona 1 year ago on Google
    Staff at the tills are great. That seems to be the only good thing. Atmosphere of the cinema is not great and feels really outdated. Large nachos are not large at all. Dips are awful didn't even have them. When we arrived at our seats there was rubbish from the previous screening which we had to move ourselves. Seats are very uncomfortable.

  • 1/5 Cat k. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall the place needs a makeover. May I say the snacks are not worth the price and taste so gross. Nachos awful and even the drinks are off. But it never use to be like this the standards have dropped very low.

  • 5/5 Dr. Muhammad Hassaan A. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely place with numerous screens playing almost all the releases at once. Ticket booths let you choose and buy tickets without any hassle. They got a pop corn and drink shop but it closes before cinema and you can’t grab a bit after 11PM. The screens are good, audio video is around 8/10. Seatings was really comfy and being only 6 people in the whole cinema made it even more comfortable.

  • 5/5 Peart 1 year ago on Google
    Very good prices for seats here and they have a good range of films with a lot of screens so you will always be able to get seats here the food and drink is also not expensive like other cinemas and isn't marked up that much .

  • 4/5 Terry t. 1 year ago on Google
    Good cinema experience. Went to watch Lyle Lyle Crocodile with my wife and kids which was really funny. Think i enjoyed it more than the kids 😁 We have a Vue cinema in my home town of Halifax which we use but i do like to visit cineworld now and again. Cineworld is a little more expensive but for the experience its worth paying that little bit more. Maybe with the cost of living crisis not everyone will agree.

    I absolutely love going to the cinema, we visited a few weeks prior to the news about Cineworld's financial issues and it wasn't difficult to spot why they had problems. We saw a film that had been out a few weeks and it was on a tiny screen, it genuinely felt no different than watching our TV at home, made worse by the aspect ratio of the film meaning the image didn't even fill the screen. It was also some of the least comfortable seats in recent cinema visits. The foyer at Bradford Cineworld is huge, when it opened there was need for a box office, it had a cafe/bar and B&R ice cream counter, a selection of arcade machines, huge displays for upcoming films and it also had lots of staff and more importantly lots of people. Every trip to the cinema felt like an event, it's really sad to see the decline. We arrived 20 mins before the film start and it was like a ghost town, despite passing dozens of people waiting to go into the bowling next door and a busy shopping centre, nobody was at the cinema. Management hadn't even bothered to open the ice cream counter, probably not worth the staffing and electricity costs. Ticket prices were very reasonable (though adding a booking fee to the price making it more expensive to book in advance seems counter-intuitive to encourage bookings) but concession stand prices are as with most cinemas, a tad excessive. £5 for a drink and £5 for stale, tasteless popcorn. The Harribo and bagged chocolates prices were extortionate. I'm guessing the popcorn was so poor as it's not selling as quick given that there is nobody there to buy it. Only went to this particular cinema as it was the only one showing the film at the time we were available. Won't be in any rush to return, if it manages to remain open that is.

  • 5/5 Charles L. 1 year ago on Google
    The £9.99 per month Unlimited ticket at the Bradford Cineworld is great value for money. If you want a quiet experience, a daytime visit often means only a handful of people in the screen with you, based on a dozen visits recently.

  • 2/5 Ayesha A. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be really good as it's cheap and had many food choices but recently not very good. Seats are uncomfortable and feel broken and didn't have the ice cream flavors. Odeon (although costs more) and the light are way better.
