Hey everyone!
I’m currently a Film Studies Master’s student working on a practical documentary project about physical film formats, film preservation, and large-format projection.
With Vue Printworks running 70mm IMAX, I’m really hoping to connect with one of the technical managers or projectionists on shift for a very brief, informal chat about the craft of operating a 15/70mm IMAX print. I’d also love to capture a few quick handheld background shots of the booth or the film platter if venue rules allow!
If any staff, projectionists, or managers from Printworks lurk on here (or if anyone knows the best way to get in touch with the tech team directly), I’d be insanely grateful if you could drop a comment or send me a DM!
I’ve got full university liability insurance and can work completely around the screening schedule so I wouldn't be in anyone's way.
Thanks so much!

gonna be watching the odyssey later on and I've heard some mixed reviews about food (mainly about them being too expensive) but with my O2 thingy i can get a 20% off of orders above £15 so I'm wondering does that discount make it worth buying snacks from the cinema over just popping to the shops to get snacks?

Only seat I could get is row J seat 7&8 are they good enough for my first real imax 70mm viewing?

Hi, Does anyone know the details for Screen 5 and Screen 17 at Vue Stratford Westfield? I have heard they are larger screens than average. I think it's 4k laser projection. Anyone know about the aspect ratios for the screens?

Thanks

Traveling from abroad and I only have this date available to watch the movie in imax (70mm) in Printworks. Never been to this picture before so I'm asking: what is better? (or less worse) the 2 red ones or the 2 green ones?

Late to the game here. All the good seats for Odyssey 70mm at Manchester Vue Printworks have pretty much gone. Just wondering if anyone knows whether there will be more dates added after 6th August? If so do I just keep checking the site daily for more date/ticket drops?

Hi so I would like to use my monthly sky vip code towards an imax 70mm screening of The Odyssey, I believe it can be used to discount premium formats, would it be applicable to the very rare IMAX 70mm screening?

Additionally if I booked in advance digitally could I ask them to print a paper ticket? (I like to keep them in a scrapbook).

Thanks.

I'm going to see The Odyssey at Printworks in Manchester. I have a very tight schedule on the day I'm seeing it. Vue website says the film finishes at 11.17am, however I need to catch a train to London which Google Maps says I need to leave Printworks at 11.15am to get there on time!

For anyone thats seen or going to see The Odyssey there, can you share if the 11.17am end time includes the full credits? Or if leaving at like 11.10 would miss anything substantial from the ending (no spoilers). I will have a seat near the edges to avoid disrupting others if I need to leave early.

So I have the option of going to Bristol or Swindon.

One has an EPIC screen and one has an IMAX screen. I'm going to book an odyssey viewing but can't narrow which one to go to, both similar distance.

Haven't seen anything posted about it in months and reached out to unite the union to no response.

Just came across this on the Westfield London website where they state that Vue Scene ticket holders get bottomless snacks? Is this true? Has anyone tried this?
Unable to find any information anywhere else apart from this.

Hi if it’s a few months after films out and popcorn buckets don’t sell do they make it cheaper

this is so random but basically say if i buy the cheapest seat and im the only one / the cinema is dead can i move to a seat futher back or would a staff member come in and id be in trouble? i wanted to watch the mj movie and the recent few shows have been cancelled as no one is booking so i presume if i go ill be the only one in the cinema😭

I'm wondering if it's allowed for a lone adult to book a Big Shorts showing or if I'd just be turned away.

Just wondering, does Vue Leicester Square accept cash? I have heard various reports saying both yes and no

Just wondering if anyone knows wether there will be more dates added after 30th July, as that’s as far as i can book for at Manchester Printworks, but was hoping to go the saturday 2 days after.

Just saw this, one of my favourite films of the year so far and wanted to do a rewatch - apparently there's 15 extra minutes of footage at the end.

Thought I'd post since from 3rd July my cinema only has 1 showing a day for like 4 days, so not long.

Just trying to use my Monzo ticket and it won’t let me get past the bookings page rip, anyone else having this issue?

Minions is the only film showing throughout the entire weekend, I turn 18 on Friday and was really hoping to watch Jackass on Friday. Surely that can’t be the only thing showing throughout the entire weekend right?

Not the poshest Vue in London, but the few times I’ve been there I’ve found it friendly with a good range of films and never too full.

I guess it can’t pay with Vue Westfield across the road.

Final day Tuesday 30th June. If you want to be in the audience for the final film there, it’s Toy Story 5, finishing at 23:17.

Hopefully they can find a job for the staff across the road.

hi does anyone know if Vue is getting any merch for The Odessey? as Odeon are getting merch for it

I booked to see the new Jackass movie for tomorrow morning at 9:10, however when I went to check if there was a seat left next to me (my friend decided he wanted to come) the showing has been removed off the website? I’ve had no email to say that the showing has been cancelled but I don’t want to travel there tomorrow morning to be told it’s no longer going a head. Has anyone else had this issue before.

hi redditters, i have been having a really hard time with vue lately and was wondering if one of you could help or advise me.

for the past couple of weeks or so i’ve been deliberating on whether or not i should watch the Michael movie (for the 3rd time, i’m a big fan). and it just so happened that tomorrow, thursday 25th june, was the best day i could do this week as well as it being michael’s death anniversary so for me it meant a lot.

so on monday i decided to book for thursday at around 10am and planned a whole day where i would then go out to this new restaurant i’ve always been saying i’d go to, etc.

i clicked on my chosen seat and i got a message saying “unavailable, please try again later”. i tried again multiple times that day and every day since with no luck, until today i spoke with their customer service team on whatsapp. i explained the situation and showed them a screenshot of the error and they said that it’s a server error and the IT team are fixing this. i’ve then checked throughout today and i’m getting different error messages as if they truly are fixing it from the backend. so i was hopeful.

i was then advised to just book tomorrow at the cinema which is not ideal beause i’m paying more but i can make it happen.

to my surprise i have just recently checked and all screenings for the movie tomorrow are completely crossed out. and just my luck this happened at around 8pm today (their customer service advisors stop seeing people at 7).

what does this mean? does it mean that they’ve cancelled the screenings or are just no longer taking online orders?

bearing in mind, i’ve booked twice before with one being another Michael screening (the first time i went with friends) and the other being the yet to release spiderman. both of which have been absolutely fine.

so my question is, is it worth me going tomorrow before the screening i chose to book a ticket? or shall i explain the situation? or is it not worth it?

it’s just annoying because if i knew a few days in advance i’d not plan for thursday to be doing anything.

any advice is appreciated :)

Is Toy Story likely to be shown in a Mighty Mornings slot do you think?

We have only recently discovered them and were delighted when we got to see GOAT a little while ago as usually cinema kid showings seem insistent on only showing older and not newly released films.

But now I’ve looked and the only film on Mighty Mornings is Smurfs which came out last year!

So many kids desperately want to see the new Toy Story but there are so few young-child friendly viewings across London, I don’t understand why!
