Cine-files: Vue, Harrow

This week's Clip joint is from John Burke, 15, who lives in north Harrow. Location The cinema is located in a corner of St George's shopping centre, Harrow, between a McDonald's and a Prezzo restaurant. Harrow bus station is just outside, so it's easy to get to. The Building The Vue covers the whole first floor of the shopping centre, with the entrance placed in a big, oval-shaped part of the building covered in a brilliant glass dome. Clientele Few families seem to visit the cinema these days, and the films shown are mainly for teenagers – although it has started to show a great range of Bollywood films attracting all different types of customer. They also do Orange Wednesdays, which tends to attract a greater variety of cinemagoer. Programme The Vue company shows all the new releases so there is not a lot you miss, although as I said before, it does seem to put on more to attract teenagers. Further Comments Harrow Vue is one of the few highlights in what is a pretty glum town. The £6.50 asking price for my age is reasonable, although I've never bought any food or drink there. It has many screens, big and small, and is very enthusiastic about 3D. Seats are comfy and there's a lot of room – but security is a little strict at times, with 16-17-year-olds not allowed into 15-certificate films without ID. Your attempts to watch a film can often also be frustrated by people who mess around and throw popcorn. The Twitter view @LiviHowe Your average and indistinguishable multiplex located in a busy shopping mall, thus attracting large groups at peak times ‏ @stevesearle Vue Harrow: As inoffensive and pleasingly flavourless as a cinema hot dog ‏ @Mr_Callum_J A largely generic multiplex that puts prices over customer experience but will occasionally show something a little different @owenkeats Grim. long queues, suspicious of anyone under 21 @Mz_Scheherazade Clean, with option of kids club and adult only viewings of movies,but staff look bored and range of films is small
