Situated
in the Valley Park Leisure Complex, near Ikea, Warner Village
Cinema is easily accessible from Croydon Town centre. There
is plenty of parking for those that drive or otherwise,
a selection of public transport, ensuring that the majority
can get there with relative ease, (see bottom of page for
details).
All the Warner Village cinemas are fully
accessible for the disabled, also catering for the hard
of hearing. Tickets can be booked in advance by phone or
on the Internet. There is, however, a booking fee for this
service.
Today's
multiplex cinemas offer a combination of luxury, technology
and experience. At Warner Village, Purley Way there are
eight screens with a total capacity of 2050. The stadium
type seating allows for a good view of the screen and the
seats are equipped with cup holder armrests to keep your
drink safe, (although not if you get a large - they don't
fit!). Digital sound, as well as the most advanced projection,
allow you to get the most from your cinema experience.
A visit to Warner Village is a good night
or day out for all the family, with a choice of restaurants
and other facilities close at hand. With 8 screens there
is always a wide range of films showing, something to suit
everybody and since the start of the holidays there has
been an abundance of kids films and family blockbusters.
Arriving in Croydon on 1st August was Terminator
3: Rise of the Machines, back again almost 20 years since
it first hit the big screen. With Arnold Schwarzenegger,
of course, playing a somewhat outdated cyborg, sent back
through time to protect John Connor (Nick Stahl), from the
new sophisticated killing machine, the 'TX' played by Kristanna
Loken.
Although almost a rerun of the previous
two, this film is packed with action sequences and special
effects, which the audience has come to expect and demand.
Terminator 3 does the job and is a highly entertaining film,
however, it would be nice to actually get to Armageddon
and the war with machines eventually
but
I have a feeling the war with machines has already started
- if my PC is anything to go by
.
