“The vmax cinema is epic! The normal screens are very good as well, all have really comfy seats and the selection of snacks, drinks, popcorn etc is very good. Vmax tickets are a bit pricey but well worth the money for the experience. They are also licensed so you can have a beer or a wine with the movie.”
