Free Cinema Tickets - Discussion thread

Wolverine

Yeah, but you'd need to keep an eye out for codes and stuff like we do here...
That way you can get free preview tickets quite often, the downside being you don't get to choose the films....
The first couple of posts in the codes thread should explain everything....

Just back from Wall-E at Croydon which was surprisingly empty - I thought it would be a full house. What a sweet film - the environmental side of things is not rammed down your throat but still comes across. The "love story" between Wall-E and Eve has a real feel of first love to it which makes it absolutely adorable.

Beware mums and dads of the "little ums" you will be convinced to buy every sort of merchandise for this one over the summer - I can see it now, every other kid going back to school in September will have a Wall-E lunchbag!

By all accounts the guy who wrote this did so in 1994 but did not think the guys at the big studios would go for it - Disney and Pixar obviously did and have certainly produced a very watchable film.

Spoke to all the kids I took with me - aged 10 to 12 - and the general decision was a 9/10 from us.

just got back from the Meadowhall showing. I loved it but daughter (age 5) was getting a bit bored towards the end.

Well we went this mornig and all enjoyed it. DS (6) was getting a bit fidgety towards the end but he stuck it out. I enjoyed it more than the kids. I think it's aimed just as much at us as the children. Some funny bits and the short film before, 'Presto' I think, had all the kids (and adults) laughing.

Only took printoff, no newspaper and no problem getting in. Cinema was about half full which I was surprised at.

Just got back from Norwich screening and we all loved it.
My boys aged 8 and 7 really liked it and are already asking for wall-e toys.:rolleyes:

Got in absolutely fine with the print off.
Thanks to everyone who posts up the codes.
This was my first time of using these, but will definately be doing it again.

Saw Wall-E at Vue O2 Arena yesterday, screening was definitely well attended but not at full capacity. Decided to get the Thames Clipper instead of the tube or bus which was a nice change. What a lovely film, I really enjoyed it. I'd give it 8.5/10.

It seems we all really enjoyed Wall-E (only one of us rated it under 8) so it's got an average so far of 8.3 out of 10

went to see WALL-E this morning, I loved it. would give it 8/10 had 3 boys & 2 girls with me all 12 & over and they were not overly excited by it - didn't feel it was fast paced enough to hold their interests but all the whole a very enjoyable film.

Hi, Empire Cinemas have Kids Screenings on Saturday and Sunday mornings, all tickets are £1 each! The films are generally ones that are few months old. Have a look at this link and see what films are coming up. Hopefully there will be something there to tickle his fancy, and if its all a bit too much for him at least you've only wasted a couple of quid!

(Don't forget to select your local cinema from the drop-down box as they vary from town to town)

We (DD 8 + friend & myself) absolutely adored Wall-E. I found the film so sweet and charming and it had a really great moral hook.

Destresseria, where you at Purley Way? I found Grants to be 3/4 full :?:
