点评:What an absolute gem this place is for Arbroath! It's in a lovely setting near the seaside (and a playground) and is somewhat unassuming from the outside. However step inside and this place is full of charm. It reminds me a lot of the old Electric Cinema in Birmingham and Grosvenor in Glasgow as they were in the 90s, as well as the now long-gone Muirend Cinema in Glasgow. It's cosy, it has cute decor and gives the vibe that it's run for and by cinema lovers. This isn't a soulless multiplex just looking to make money, this is somewhere that wants to make going to the cinema a whole experience. We had a friendly welcome upon arrival and were delighted to be offered the last two Spider-Man pin badges as a free gift (since that's what we were there to see). We ordered a coffee - self service from a machine - and a bottle of water and it came to a very reasonable £3.60!
We then moved through to the little waiting area which had fantastic decor on the walls and comfy seating. The auditorium itself doesn't have your usual rows of seats. Instead it's made up of booths and comfy recliners, making it feel more homely. The screen was big and clear and the sound perfect (plenty of times in multiplexes I have struggled to hear anything). I also loved hearing the Pearl and Dean music at the start, a real throwback to my childhood (just missing adverts for Butterkist and a local Indian restaurant 😄).
Overall a fantastic venue and should be treasured by the people of Arbroath!
翻译:对于阿布罗斯来说,这里绝对是个不可多得的宝地!它坐落在海边附近,周围环境宜人(还有个游乐场),从外面看则显得有些朴实无华。但一走进去便能感受到它的独特魅力。这里让我想起了90年代伯明翰的老电影院“Electric Cinema”、格拉斯哥的“Grosvenor Cinema”,还有如今已不复存在的格拉斯哥“Muirend Cinema”。整个空间温馨舒适,装饰也很有特色,给人一种由电影爱好者亲手打理、专为电影爱好者打造的感觉。这可不是一个只图赚钱、毫无温度的普通电影院,而是一个致力于让观影体验变得完整而难忘的场所。我们抵达时受到了热情的接待,还幸运地作为赠品得到了最后两枚《蜘蛛侠》徽章(因为我们就是来观看这部电影的)。我们买了一杯咖啡——通过自助机器购买——还有一瓶水,总价才3.60英镑,实在物超所值!接着我们走进了那个小等候区,那里的墙面装饰得非常漂亮,还有舒适的座椅。剧院内并没有常见的成排座位,取而代之的是一个个小包厢以及可以躺卧的舒适座椅,给人一种宾至如归的感觉。银幕又大又清晰,音效也恰到好处(在很多多厅影院里,我都很难听清任何声音)。此外,我也很喜欢开场时播放的Pearl and Dean音乐。真的让我回想起童年时光了(只可惜没有Butterkist和当地一家印度餐馆的广告😄)。
总的来说,这是个很棒的场所,阿布罗斯的民众真应该好好珍惜它!
