Vue Entertainment

Located top floor in Star City, Vue is one of the biggest Cinema complex in UK and Europe. Has 30 Screens. Cineworld and Odeon Birmingham (12 screens) comes nowhere close to Vue. Offically opened by George Clooney when Vue hosted the Première of The Perfect Storm. Attended by Mark Wahlberg also before he was the megastar he is now.
It is the première cinema for international audience, showing a wide range of films from hollywood to bollywood. with so many screens you most likely going to find showing of films that aren’t showing in other cinemas. Other cinemas give most time to their big screens to blockbuster films and not much for indie smaller films.
I recently watched my favourite movie of the year (so far) Edge of Tomorrow for the third time. I mostly go to Cineworld and can’t remember last time I watched anything in Vue. The seats are comfy, much more than Cineworld. The leg room is big and don’t feel like you’re up in someone’s way. I had such a good time watching a movie here and could see myself coming here more often.
Wish they had an Unlimited plan like Cineworld or some sort of loyalty card. Maybe they do but I never saw anything about it or heard they offered that.

Starcity is massive, and the VUE is no exception. We went here to watch the Avengers, definitely a great movie theatre. Really easy to order tickets. I’m still shocked at how expensive movie tickets prices are, but hey, at least at the VUE you get really comfortable seats and a nice large screen.
There were quite a few places around that I wanted to check out and dine at (like Oodles of Noodles!) but hopefully another time. Tons of things to do for kids inside the StarCity area, too.

I really like most Vue cinemas that ive been to, and this is no exception. I love the décor and styling of these places and i find them very welcoming and comfortable. Vue prices tend to be pretty reasonable by todays standards, and from memory i think most films ive seen here have been around the five or six pounds mark (though they do have discount days and special offers from time to time as i recall). The range of films they show goes from childrens movies and animation to the latest blockbusters and more arthouse films, and everything gets rotated fairly quickly although not before you get a reasonable chance to see that must have movie. Theres a good range of drinks, popcorn and other hot and cold snacks available at sensible prices. Parking is easy and theres always been space when ive driven there. Highly recommended.
