Odeon Cinema

A nice, somewhat abandoned cinema at point village. It is placed in an empty shopping mall, so the road up to the top floor is kind of spooky as there is nothing else in this mall beside the cinema.
Because it is remote and nothing else is going on out here, they have good offers on all the time and great discounts if you come back for more (up to 40% discounts). It is almost guaranteed you will get the best seats in the house, because they never fill out the cinema.

If you ever wanted to feel like you had your own private cinema, that I have to give credit where it’s due; The Odeon Cinema is pretty much the closest you can get to living this dream. The cinema is situated right at the edge of the Docklands on the north of the Liffey river, in Point Village, and given the fact that there are still more modern, over-​priced flats in the area than there are people living in them, the cinema is still incredibly quiet. Despite this, the cinema offers the most amazing service. First of all, when you go in the main entrance, you make your way up 3 sets of escalators and you behold a massive, open, almost abandoned interior (you almost think to yourself «uhh.did I take a wrong turn or something? There’s no one else here!»,), and then you are lead passed the Starbucks into the foyer where you buy your tickets at the concession stand. The staff are fairly polite (one imagines that they have a fairly boring but nevertheless cushy job), and then you make your way into one of the screens… and even the standard 2D screens are massive. The seats have high back chairs, a decent rake so there’s no chance of struggling to see the screen for a lanky bloke sitting right in front of you, crisp cleat sound quality, and decent digital projection. I’ve been there a half a dozen times, and it’s always quiet, and I’ve always been happy with the service. And if you go during the week before 1pm, you’re only shelling out 6 euro… but believe me, even when you have to pay more during peak times, you really are getting your money’s worth.
Now, I do believe in supporting your local indie cinemas rather than shelling out for the multiplexes, but I have to say that the IFI has a very hard time competing with Point Village for value for money and seating comfort. My only worry is that in a few years time, the standards will probably slip as it’s popularity increases, which is always the way… so i urge you, for as long as it lasts, get yourself down to the Odeon and your very small amount of money will go a very long way!

If you can find your way through the maze of escalators, lifts and a ghost shopping centre, you’ll reach odeon cinema at the top along with a costa café.
Big fan of the cinema. It’s spacious and modern.
Tickets and confectionary are very pricey but you can get good midweek deals.

Pros:
— nicely located if you live by the docks and don’t want to head to far into town
— clean, modern, cinema, where you can book your individual seats
— a much more relaxed vibe than cineworld or savoy cinemas
Cons:
— when I was there the box office was closed so I had to purchase using the kiosk. I prefer dealing with humans
— it wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday evening which is odd to me
— they play about 6 movies at any given time

This cinema is the only/​main tenant of the Point Village shopping centre, and so you’ll have to climb a few empty floors to get there.
On the very top floor you’ll find the Odeon Cinemas as well as an adjacent Costa Café. There’s also a small Ben & Jerry’s ice cream stand, and that’s it. This theatre has 6 screens and it’s usually not too crowded, even during weekends.
Midweek is the perfect time to go, as you can avail of 6 € tickets and also get free upgrades to the Premium Seats because the place won’t be too busy — some people «upgrade» themselves by simply moving to those seats, but you can ask at the counter and avoid embarrassment if someone comes in with a ticket assigned to the seat you’ve taken.
I prefer to buy the tickets online, because you can skip the queues and just use one of the machines dotted around the cinema to pick up the tickets.
They also have a loyalty card, very useful if you go to Odeon cinemas frequently, it doesn’t take long to get points to spend on free tickets and etc., plus you sometimes get special screenings or promotions.
Staff is a-​ok, but friendly enough. The crowd is mixed, I’ve been asked before if there’s trouble with kids because of the neighbourhood, and except for the one time two young lads tried to sneak in without a ticket, I never watched another «incident» worth noting.
Even though people tend to leave all their trash behind them on the seats, they manage to keep everything quite tidy all the time, which contributes to a nicer experience than in other cinemas.
It’s a very commercial cinema so expect to go weeks without a good film to watch. They tend to keep action blockbusters on for months and some other movies only for a week or two, so if you find something you want to watch here, don’t postpone it too much.

First of all, the area of this place is first-​class. Located in a very modern side of Dublin close to the Docklands, the area is clean and bright, right in front of the The point Luas station.
Inside, the building is incredible and there is so much SPACE. Extremely high ceiling and open areas, you even feel like the cinema is only yours or that you are in a different world, far from crowds and noise — which is particularly interesting for people who like to enjoy a movie experience properly.
On the very top floor, there is a Costa coffee shop, Ben and Jerry ice-​cream and popcorn stands as usual. The toilets are new and wide with big mirrors and the seating is very comfortable; the screen is absolutely huge.
There is a parking lot in the lower floor and there are some pretty nice deals, as for example odeon club card so the more you go there, the more points you get in a rewarding scheme and also, gift cards.
From Monday to Thursday the ticket is 6euro, cheaper than in other places in town — for such a quality cinema — this also applies to every day for films showing before 1pm.
I know there is a deal for cinema, parking and dinner for 2 people for a very affordable price also.
Overall, great!
Plus — I work right next to this cinema and I left my badge in a chair after the movie. In the next day my badge was taken to the reception of where I work! Very good «lost and found».

The Odeon cinema is about the only cinema I really like in Dublin now that the Swan Cinema is now gone and replaced with a truly awful cinema. (i’ll not talk about that it annoys me too much). (Apart from the lighthouse which is of course more than just a cinema!)
So why do I like it? Well generally its not massively busy, Its very clean, the screens are pretty good and finally… It doesn’t seem to be full of talkative idiots coming in late annoying me!
Its a pity its not as close as the other cinemas. But hey ho.

Best cinema in the city centre! Great midweek deals, an excellent loyalty program and a really great isense screen. The staff are always very pleasant and helpful.
They have recently added wine to their list of available beverages which is great

Nice nice cinema the Odeon. The few Staff we met were nice to deal with.
Even the clientele seemed to be good folk. Less rustling of wrappers and a lot less chatter during the movie than what I’m normally used to at other Dublin City cinemas.
Leg room is excellent in the iSense screen.
The deal caught my eye: parking, a meal at the hotel bar and a regular 2D show for 20 EUR. Not a bad deal. It remains to be seen if the meal is worth it.
Also movies 6 EUR early in the week is a great deal.
So many reasons to make the trip to the Odeon at the Point Village.
I’m a fan.

Best cinema experience I’ve had in Ireland.
No riffraffs loitering about. It’s not in a buzzing shopping centre, instead, it’s in an immaculate building, with really excellent dining options.
The Gideon hotel’s restaurants are fantastic & just next door.
Parking is € 2 if you watch a movie.
Definitely recommended!

As we walked in I bumped straight into Clint Eastwood circa 1980, he said something unintelligible, spat in a conveniently located spittoon, lit a cigarette and wandered off into the sunset.
Pretty soon the tumbleweed started blowing across our path… a lot of it, we were lost and alone… oh so very very alone… Not a sinner in sight… no one… really, we were the only people for miles around.
The Point Village is a sad, lonely and god forsaken place, forgotten about by EVERYONE.
Buried in the middle of this nothingness is the Odeon Cinema… an oasis of entertainment in a sleek and modern setting, there are rarely queues, the snack bar is huge and plentiful and it is comfortable.
Great cinema, worth the trip into the unknown!

I really like this cinema. It’s pretty empty and really clean. What more can I say? It also has isense… whatever that means?
It’s situated right behind the O2 and next to the Gibson hotel. 6 Euro tix on particular weekday nights.

Went to see a film in the massive screen here the other day. It’s the biggest screen in Dublin besides the IMAX, and it really is quite something. Mahooosive.
Only problem with that is that is that if you’re right up the front, your eyes are gonna huuu-​uurt.
I like the fact that they give you seat allocations. And they have a Costa coffee shop in there which normally I wouldn’t be into, but in a cinema situation, it’s nice to have another option that’s not nachos and popcorn.
It’s pricey enough again though — 13 euro-​ish. If you have driven up there, make sure you get your ticket validated so you only have to pay 2 euro for parking, rather than the 8ish you could be hit with.
