点评:I have been following Cinema No 6 on Instagram for some time and have always wanted to visit but for some reason I never actually got there.
There was a showing of a Martin Parr the British Magnum photographer film recently and I really want to see it so decided to make the effort to see the film.
I parked in the large car park at Gunwharf Quays and walked the short distance to the Dockyard entrance. There were a couple of security guys at the entrance, one must remember this is still an active Naval Base so there may be limitations on what can be taken inside.
Once past security it is a short walk to the Cinema building, which is a great looking building. The entrance was well signposted and once inside the building one can purchase your ticket, it should be noted you can buy them in advance from their website. Also, I believe it is a totally cashless venue.
There is a small bar where you can purchase a drink and snacks which you can take with you while watching the film. Whilst sitting in the bar I spoke with staff and other cinemagoers and there was a friendly vibe, which I have never experienced at the cinema before.
The cinemas screen is big and especially good for my old eyes and the sound seemed somewhat controlled rather than ear popping volume at other cinemas.
Would I go again, most definitely. It really is a hidden gem.
Thank you to all the staff.
Some of my reviews may seem unforgiving but I come from a time when everything was not “Awesome” and “near enough was not good enough”. So, if I say something is “Excellent” that is because it is somewhere better than most others… and well worth considering visiting.
I hope this review was of help, please consider following my travels & reviews in the autumn of my life.
翻译:我在Instagram上关注6号影院(Cinema No 6)已经有一段时间了,一直想去看看,但不知何故一直没能成行。
最近放映了英国玛格南摄影师马丁·帕尔(Martin Parr)的影片,我非常想看,所以决定抽出时间去看。
我把车停在冈沃夫码头(Gunwharf Quays)的大型停车场,步行一小段路就到了船坞入口。入口处有几名保安,需要注意的是,这里仍然是一个现役的海军基地,所以带入影院的物品可能会受到限制。
通过安检后,步行一小段路就到了电影院,那栋建筑非常漂亮。入口处有清晰的路标,进入电影院后可以买票,需要注意的是,你可以提前在他们的网站上购买。而且,我相信这是一个完全无现金的场所。
电影院里有一个小酒吧,你可以在那里买饮料和小吃,边看电影边吃。在酒吧里,我和工作人员以及其他影迷聊了聊,那里的氛围很友好,这是我以前在电影院从未体验过的。
这家电影院的银幕很大,对我的老眼来说尤其好,而且声音也控制得比较好,不像其他电影院那样震耳欲聋。
我肯定会再去的。这真是一块隐藏的瑰宝。
感谢所有工作人员。
我的一些评论可能看起来有些刻薄,但我的时代并非一切都“棒极了”,“差强人意”就不够好了。所以,如果我说某个地方“很棒”,那是因为它比其他大多数地方都好……而且非常值得考虑去看看。
希望这篇评论对您有所帮助,请在我人生的暮年关注我的旅行和评论。
