Showcase Cinema de Lux Coventry in Coventry

Good cinema overall. Staff are helpful, cinema is clean and there are no issues with the screens themselves. Could do with more vegan food options, but other local cinemas have this issue too. However, I tend to only attend this cinema if a film I want to see isn’t showing elsewhere because 1) the seats are leather, which I know many people like but I do not due to the animal rights issues and 2) there are very bright lights on the stairs in the screens, which can be distracting and hurt your eyes a bit when you’re trying to watch a film in an otherwise dark room.

Great place , supportive staff members highly recommended

Easily our favourite cinema. Great for children. Plenty of space for them.

Great cinema , lots of room space and good catering options

The best seats ever. So comfortable, so I fell asleep 😴 😄 Massive space for legs, so if anyone wants to walk there is no problem at all. Standard seats are much better than, for example VIP Vue seats. Tasty food, modern design, free car park.

All categories of movies. For children and adults

Spacious, comfortable, great sound and screen

Lots of choice of screens and programmes. Fabulous large seats that recline and foot support drinks holder. Lots of refreshments drinks popcorn etc Easy on line booking, large free carpark, good choice of nearby eating places, only a short distance from Coventry City centre and well placed for access from outside Coventry

Went to see Dogman with my son, he loved it. Lovely and clean cinema!! Film stated promptly!

The cinema plus or X screen is decent! nice reclining chairs and a massive screen, sound quality top notch, it's a shame showcase staff have to clean up after all the messy people who use the cinema, and leave rubbish everywhere but I guess that's just common for cinemas,

Great venue with the most comfortable seats

Immaculately clean cinema foyer and screens, with everything very well organised and great seating. Experience ruined by other customers using phones throughout the whole film. I'm unsure what the solution is but it really does ruin the (expensive) trip out... Even occasional checks by staff for bright screens would help!

First time I'd been in a long time to showcase. Sweet popcorn was so bland like they had only put half plain n half sweet. And the coke tasted like it was more water then syrup

Travelled from leamington...seats so comfy ...staff great 👍

Very clean, and friendly staff. Lots of parking.

Nice place but did not enjoy the comfy seating

Clean & tidy. Comfortable seats. Helpful staff

Comfy sits, good quality video and audio, but the popcorn.....not cold, probably made the previous day. Instead of making 1 ton of popcorn to "have it ready", how about you make some to get you started and keep the machines going while you start selling? As they're meant to be used.

It was cold in the cinema. One disabled toilet not open and the other disabled toilet was not very clean

Seats no longer squeak( bonus), X plus is great, but as of my post 3 months ago, the coffee machine is still broken. What's the point of having a Costa in store if you can't get a coffee?

Comfy seats, great services from staff. Will be coming back again 😊

Was hesitant to spend almost double what we normally spend to go see movies at Vue cinemas. But the comfort of the reclining seats and the whole site being so clean and well maintained just made for a more enjoyable viewing experience. Will be our new "go to" cinema.

I hadn't visited a cinema in a very long time but wanted to watch a movie with my friend. This was my first time at showcase and I was impressed by the recliner seats, I felt so comfortable and relaxed. Only thing I would say is people need to be considerate and not take other people's seats. Luckily as the cinema wasn't full we found other seats at the back as we didn't want to disturb others. We also ordered some hot snacks (Nachos and waffle fries) which were lovely.

Great place reclining seats loads of room to relax

Great location, comfortable seating, clean facilities

If you like movies, try Xplus Cinema; its sound system is excellent. The seats are nice and very comfortable.

Not a bad place to go, the only downside is the coffee machine seems to be broken all the time. The staff say pop round the back to the Costa, but why have a mini Costa on site then get told to do that? Management or higher should buy a new machine that works, instead of trying to repair the existing one.

Undoubtedly the best preferred cinema in Coventry

Get better straws!! Need about 5 to last the film!!!

Great seats and always a nice calm environment.

Went to see a live streamed ballet from London. Superb. The cinema is spacious with very comfortable adjustable seats. Really lovely cinema experience.

Our local cinema - great seats, good movies, good food!

Easy parking and great cinema seating. My only issue was that my legs got a bit cold. The air con could of been set a smidge higher

Travelled from Birmingham to Coventry to see Wicked with my family . Was served by a lovely lady name Chyanne who was extremely kind and was a pleasant to speak to. She recommended the best seating arrangements for the best view to watch this film. 5* customer service. Thank you for making our experience such a delight.

Best place for watching movies. With recliner seats in place and well spacious between the rows one will get the best experience while watching movies here.

It is good quality in everything. Yeah that's it bruh.

My favorite place to watch a movie! The reclining seats are incredibly comfortable, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a long movie. Plus, they have a great selection of snacks to choose from, making the whole experience even better.

I visited here whilst staying in a hotel for a work training course. I was blown away by how good this cinema was. The screen was huge. The sound was amazing. All of the seats were reclining armchairs. I went on Monday and it only cost me £8. I have not come back so happy from a night out for ages.

Went to the autism screening for moana 2 with my autistic 11 yr old cousin. He frequents this cinema with autism screens typically in the same screen. He was very excited and ran to the toilets then stood at the screen door waiting for me to come. The manager ronnie came and told me if I can’t control him I need to leave as he’s running in the screens. He wasn’t he ran to the toilet and was waiting for me. He was well behaved he just couldn’t contain his excitement so wanted to move which is common in autism he was not bothering anybody he was just simply excited and knew where he was going as he’s been previously. Ronnie is extremely rude and needs educating on autism and the traits especially whilst hosting autism screens. Incredibly rude and uneducated. Other staff were lovely.

I visited this cinema the other day to watch a movie. As I was walking past, I noticed that the popcorn was already in pre-boxed containers, ready for customers to purchase. I found this practice unhygienic and wondered what would happen if a customer wanted mixed popcorn and it tasted unpleasant due to the unpleasant taste of the pre-boxed popcorn.

Very comfortable, adjustable seats. Good food and drinks. Good sound and picture quality. A little long ads.

Considering the time the film started we only allowed in 2 mins before the start time! As they had to clean

Generally, it is a really nice cinema but the toilets could be improved and cleaned.

Prices could be a little more reasonable but the upgrades compared to 2014 are great.

The film itself was very good. However, the experience is very overpriced. I was very disappointed that the 3 bags of popcorn we got were stale like that had been sat around for hourse. I also got my daughter a Moana reusable cup. However, they won't give you a reusable straw as that only comes with the Paddington cups! Seems to defeat the purpose of offering that cup as the paper straws just melt and are useless for a child wanting to have a drink mid way through the film. I can't believe that watching a film for a family of three with buying drinks and popcorn can come to over £80.00 including the 10% discount you get through their insider app. If the popcorn was fresh and the promotional cups came with 3veythjng that were needed, it wouldn't have been so bad!

This is definitely the way to watch movies!!!

Hadn't been for over 10 years what a positive change to seats and facilities

I do not usually bother writing reviews on google as can usually not be bothered, but i had to write about our bad experience last night at the showcase cinema, as me as a disabled man, my wife and my son who has just turned 15. We were small mindedly turned away from watching venom last dance, as we did not have a birth certificate or a passport for my son. The staff were very rude and ruined a young boys birthday celebration with his parents we took a taxi to the cinema and had to arrange a baby sitter for my one year old daughter. we were left out in the cold for 2 hours and had to go to skydome odeon in the end which we had no issues whatsoever the staff treated us with respect there at the skydome so in the end we ended up having a good night showcase cinema i have used your cinema for years but you was disgusting the way you treated my familly last night and will not be coming back again

I love this cinema..if the film is boring the seats are so comfortable you can have a sleep

I recently visited this cinema and was really impressed with the overall experience. The ambience is fantastic—modern, clean, and welcoming. The seats are incredibly comfortable, with recliners available for every viewing spot, making it perfect for long movies. The only downside is that the shows tend to start 15-25 minutes later than the scheduled time, which can be a bit frustrating if you're on a tight schedule. Other than that, it's a great place to enjoy a film in comfort!

Disappointed with the size of the screen for Gladiator 2 (first few days of release); also the screen itself hard dark corners on one side. Furthermore, the manager is difficult and couldn’t manage a refund properly, eventually it worked.

Went to see Gladiator II in the Xplus screen and it was great! Seating set out in a way that means viewing is not impeded (even for short people like me) and the added bonus that the seating is a huge, comfy recliner. The food was fresh and good quality with fast service. Only downside was all the litter bins overflowing.

Paddington 3 - brilliant. Overpriced sugar - awful.

Comfy seats, good sound generally but quite alot of noise transmitted from the next door film, especially noticeable in the quiet bits. Freezing cold in there so wrap up warm. Such a shame the ticket guy was sooo unhelpful.

A large cinema on the outskirts of the city. Plenty of parking with a KFC, Taco Bell, Nandos and a pub within the vicinity. Loads of screens and choice. Every visit I have been greeted to the sight of a clean cinema and comfy chairs. Definitely worth obtaining the Insider card for a half price ticket on a Monday evening.

Wasn't very happy with the quality the popcorn I paid £8 for, it tasted awful, first time I've visited this cinema wont be ordering again on my next visit

Nice setting, comfy seats. Will visit again.

For my volunteer group, I organised a private screening, the first time I've ever done one. Veronika and her team were very friendly, prepared and accommodating for us. Lots of parking at the location. Cinema is very clean and tidy. A five star experience.

Very comfortable seating with modern clean cinemas. Badly let down by sound proofing from other screenings. It was like watching a film next to a night club

Like this cinema has nice comfy seats to watch the film and its great value for money .

The staff at the Costa are very welcoming and polite and easy to talk to :)

Very comfortable seats, good food...

I never knew about Showcase Cinema until my friend told me about it yesterday. He took me there to watch a Tamil movie yesterday, and let me tell you frankly, there is no way I’m going to any other theatre. All the seats are reclining seats and all the food and drinks are very cheap. Great visuals and sound effects. Absolutely amazing 🤩

My Go-to place for cinema in Coventry. The staff are lovely and friendly and happy to give their opinions on movies if asked. You can get beer there which pairs perfectly with nachos and Popcorn. All the seats are leather and recline and help to provide the perfect movie experience. 10/10 for me

Good access to cinema. Helpful staff. Good selection of films.

A place where you can relax and enjoy the latest movie 😌

Came here yesterday with family to watch the new Joker film. Cinema is very spacious with plenty of food and drink selection. Tickets were very decently priced due to the deal they run on Mondays. Haven't been here in over a decade but would definitely visit again! Very good experience!

Comfy seats but drinks etc expensive

Great staff and excellent customer service

Really good, but 35 minutes from advertised time to film starts is really really bad!

Seats are so comfy 2 watch a film.bar is good with reasonably priced drinks. Food overpriced but all inn all good place 2 go 4 family night out.

Great cinema, great staff, great location

Not been the showcase for a long time we booked tickets for the xplus cinema really enjoyed it will come again

Love this cinema for the seating as the most comfortable one we have found - just like being at home.

Clean cinema, comfy seats - at least in the different screens I've sat in, and the xlplus screen is fantastic.

Hadn't been there in years. What an improvement! The screen rooms were smaller but so much the better for it. Large leather comfy adjustable seats with soooo much leg room and cup holders.....what's not to like! (Maybe could add a compartment somewhere for popcorn to go 🤷‍♀️) Prices of tickets and snacks are typical for the cinema these days, but there is a Tescos nearby if you want to buy your own to sneak in! There's also a bar if you want a drink before your film. Toilets were clean, but need checking, as some didn't have toilet roll in the ladies. A few places to eat in around the cinema (Pizza hut, Nandos, Taco Bell), but they can get very busy and so it's sensible to book in advance, with the exception of KFC. Loads of free parking.

Good cinema. Better than odeon.

Amazing cinema. We are very lucky to have it. I love film and the cinema experince with suround sound and It's emersiveness. The level of luxury and comfort level is almost ridicuous. My only negative is there's not a lot done when people are using their phones or talking during the film. Please stop this.

Highlight is the lovely recliner seats for standard tickets.

Such a comfortable cinema, the reclining seats make it way better than the Vue, atmosphere is great, staff are attentive and the whole experience was fantastic.

Love this cinema and the electric recling seats. Our only disappointment is that hot dogs are never ready 😐

Love the seats and the immersive experience. Not having to queue for tickets is fab too. Convenient location for snacks before too.

Great cinema....love the reclining seats

Ushers are very helpful in making sure you are going to the right screen. The seats are very comfy

Great cinema and reasonable prices but food is too expensive, go to Tesco's first just over the road and save money

This is an amazing place for a cinema there is alot of different places you can go after watching a movie. Talking about movies I have been here alot but recently I watched Deadpool and wolverine. The experience was amazing as you go in you can get all your drinks and treats after that you walk up to a staff member and they scan your code Which then they tell you what screen you will be at and what seats. This cinema is amazing for wheelchair access and if friendly for people with disabilities. Over all the seats are comfy and the screens are big I would recommend this to everyone for sure. When I go next I will add my photos as I lost my other ones

Loved it, Reclining Seats were a plus. Nice Screen Size and sound Quality 👍

Had to wait 10 mins as they were getting the place ready, not sure what that involved as there was a toffee still on my seat from the previous person which I got on my skirt.

Really decent cinema, been a few times, great set up in terms of snacks and tickets too, and I've never seen a massive queue here.

Good seats, autism friendly showing as advertised.

A really good cinema that's cheaper than some other well known cinemas. Comfortable recliners.

Comfortable seats. But the lights along the aisles which remain on duirng the movie are too bright / dazzling. And 30mins of ads from the advertised start times is excessive!

Kids enjoyed movie, more expensive than Vue

A beautiful setting for viewing movies and the service was great too! Food was alright but honestly not the greatest, but that doesn’t stop the cleanliness and enjoyment of the theatre as a whole. Awesome place!

Great experience, clean halls and excellent service

Great cinema, disgusting, cold (they use already made) popcorn, you can taste old grease.

Highly recommended for movies, Xplus, food and drink choices, free parking and comfortable seats.

VIP seats were Not Recliner seats!

I sat in a very plush reclining seat. I was the only person to watch this particular movie at this time.

Lovely cinema . Nice comfortable sitting chair
