1 / 3Cineworld - Ashton-under-Lyne
📍 Ashton-under-Lyne, North West
Multi-format cinema featuring 4DX motion seats with wind and water effects, plus IMAX and standard screens. Part of a larger complex with bowling and restaurants. Costa café on-site with pram access and parking.
Amazing.This cinema is really top.As a client you have a variety of different types of cinema from 3d IMAX to 4dx and normal 2d theatre.Its a Costa caffe inside to for a tea or a coffee too. The traditional popcorn and Nachos and ice cream they're all there like in all cinemas.The toilets are clean and the stuff is helpful.I recommended to try the IMAX for best view and sound experience.Avatar 3 is a privilege because is a 3d IMAX movie which is not very much movies available in this format which is JUST SIMPLY THE BEST way to see a movie.I would like the manager of this cinema to consider to make available an Andre Rieu concert on IMAX 2d for the sake of sound.Thanks guys for being Top. Almost forgot it's a big variety of food restaurants outside the cinema including Nando's Bella Italia and KFC McDonald's and others.If you bring the kids too just right the corner is a massive bowling and arcade complex to entertain everyone.See you there soon
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children aged 8 and above who want a cinema experience closer to a theme park ride than a traditional screening. The 4DX effects — water spray, moving seats, wind — genuinely delight older kids and teens. Younger or sensory-sensitive children may find the intensity overwhelming.

“Came here especially for the 4dx experience and wasn't disappointed. The entire thing is a huge barrel of laughs, and more akin to a fairground ride than a movie experience. Everything from the seat movement to wind effects made us laugh and giggle. Its amazing how they've incorporated all that in to a cinema experience. For the most bumpy of rides choose a action film to watch, or a horror film if your brave. The cinema itself was clean, well staffed and pretty well stocked with snacks and what not. It's part of a massive complex so parking is plentiful.”

“Our first time at a 4XD cinema. It did not disappoint! It was amazing! We will be going again for sure. Also the staff were brilliant! I made a mistake with my tickets and they sorted this problem out quickly. I would highly recommend the 4DX bit expensive but well worth it.”

“Rubbish compared to other IMAX cinemas. IMAX on Sunday to see EPiC. Hardly any advertising for this film, about 2 posters in light boxes mixed with all the other movies. The IMAX screen is nothing special, doesnt wrap round or curve, just a bit bigger than normal. The sound is nothing to rave about either, especially as were were expecting it to be give the film we were watching! When we went in for our viewing the seats and floor was manky, food and sticky drinks spillage.. not even cleaned from the earlier viewing. We moved down a couple of seats to ones that were not full of popcorn. Reclining seats?? Compared with light cinema these seats are poor. The movie was brilliant but the cinema and experience was crap to be honest. Need to try harder to compete with far better venues - looking thru social media groups of others IMAX experiences for this paricular movie, it looks like we dipped out, and at £34 for 2 tickets even more so. Pick another venue if you want a better IMAX for your money.”
