Starlux

Went last night to watch the latest - but probably not the last - Star War's movie. Most comfortable cinema seats I have ever sat in, more leg room than I could use, warm, friendly and helpful staff, best caramel popcorn I have had in years, excellent sound in fact no complaints about the cinema at all, recommend it and will go again in fact can't wait for the summer to see if it is a cool in the heat as it was warm in the cold!

Down sides: You have to be there 30 minutes before the film starts or your booking is automatically cancelled - this will probably change when they sort out their on-line ticket purchase facility on their web site. Not easy to find if you are not from that area and easy to miss if you are watching what you are doing with the traffic when driving. Its cold in the restaurant area and I could not see a menu anywhere so did not bother to ask - my fault but just one on display would have helped.

Moans: Movie was in 3D and I have monocular vision (I knew I would not be able to watch 3D before I went) so I paid full price for 1 third of a movie - lol. Wife loved it and spent time explaining to me what was happening, it must have been magic for normal sighted people but that is my lot, hard luck. Be warned, there is a good old "Intermission" half way through, probably for us old people to go to the exceptionally clean and well appointed toilets! Try to park around the back of the cinema as close to the next car as possible so that it is impossible for them to get back in their car when the movie has finished - that seems to be a requirement in that car park! Normal driving rules apply when going into the car park - it seems you can use the IN to go OUT and of course the OUT to go IN as well, as both are only one car's width this can take some time to sort out - remember the 30 minutes before rule!!

Overall: Super place and if you want to moan about the price then don't go there - it cost us 58TL for two seats in the VIP cinema or if you like it cost us £6.64 each to sit in total comfort with loads of room and really enjoy our first visit to the pictures in 9 years.

Getting there: From East use the bypass and take the next roundabout after the GAU roundabout, turn right there and just follow the road straight on down to the main coast road, turn right onto the main road and the cinema is within 100 mtrs on your left hand side - the first entrance sign is THE entrance! From the West take the roundabout before the GAU roundabout and follow previous directions. There are other ways but if it's your first time and you are not sure, those are the easy options!

Have fun.

We popped in to look at the VIP suite as we were leaving, after watching Star Wars in the 'non VIP cinema'. The only difference I could spot was that all the seats were 2 person sofas. The non VIP cinema also has some double sofa seats, if that is what you want, but I found that the non VIP cinema was so comfortable that it is simply not worth the cost of upgrading - just my opinion.

PB, unless you wanted to watch Star Wars in Turkish then the only alternative at the time was the VIP. That was the reason we went into the VIP but I am still well pleased with the result, I have looked at the two person seats in Jupiter but don't really want to take part in the film as they are at the very front - problems enough seeing the movie without being part of the cast - lol.
