Cinema in Birmingham (England)
Cinema in Birmingham (England)
Birmingham's cinemas are quite reasonably priced due to stiff competition for the student market. Don't expect a huge range of "alternative" films, as even the independent places screen mainstream blockbusters to keep their revenues up.
The Electric Cinema, 47-49 Station St, +44 121 643 7879 ( ), . Daily, doors open 30 minutes before the film starts. The oldest still-operating cinema building in the UK (opening in 1909), famous for its Art Deco interiors, home baking and cocktail bar. The cinema now features sofa seating, waiter service and the best in intelligent mainstream and independent films. £6 (concessions £4, sofa seat £10).
Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), Cannon Hill Park, Edgbaston/Moseley (#1, #45 or #47 bus), +44 121 440 3838 ( ), . M-Sa 9AM-11PM (Su 10:30PM). The newly refurbished Midlands Arts Centre located in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston has a small but perfectly formed arthouse cinema £6 (concessions £4.50).
IMAX, Millennium Point, Curzon St, +44 121 202 2222, ( ), . Daily 10AM-5PM. Part of the Thinktank science museum. 2D and 3D films shown on an enormous (five story) screen. Some mainstream films, mainly documentaries. £6.50 (concessions £5, children under 16 £4.50, family and joint Thinktank tickets available).
AMC, 220 Ladywood Middleway, Broadway Plaza, +44 870 755 5657, . Daily 10AM-1AM. A large modern multiplex showing recent mainstream films. £5 (£3.50 concessions and before 6:30PM).

Odeon, New Street, +44 871 224 4007, . Cinema showing mainstream films, near to Bullring shopping centre and New Street station. You can't really call it much of a multiplex.

Vue, 29 Star City, +44 871 224 0240, . Multiplex within the Star City entertainment complex north east of the town center (which also boasts restaurants, bars, nightclubs, bowling and a large casino).
