Cold, overpriced, and not enough members of staff around are some of the complaints that have arisen since Bridgend's Odeon cinema upgraded to 'luxe' status. Some people haven’t been able to understand what they are paying the extra money for since the town's Odeon rebranded their facilities to their premium Odeon Luxe setup.
I bought a ticket for £15 to see the Plane and wanted to go in with an open mind. My first thought when looking at the Odeon Luxe at McArthur Glen designer outlet in Bridgend was that it did not really look much different from any other Odeon that you might go to and pay a normal price for.
But once you step inside – and it could be down to the fact it was a Tuesday night – the whole place seemed pretty spacious and serene. Cinemas in general can be a nice little escape from the rush of day-to-day life but the Odeon Luxe did seem particularly relaxing to give it some credit.
