"They took my money today after booking…"
They took my money today after booking for today and within 5 mins they cancelled and I cannot reschedule as there's no one to speak to and am not being sent a verification code. Its poor service and they should never have taken my money knowing its already cancelled

"Nightflix @ Colchester"
Colchester - Bill and Ted - Thursday evening
Arrival
- Didn’t see signs from the road/ entrance but the screen 📺 is huge so you know you are there. Just follow the row of metal fences which snake into the parking area
- High vehicles are put at the back but you can move forward if there is space when everyone is in
- Plenty of space
View and sound
- You time your radio into a frequency to hear the film via your car. Great sound, I guess it depends on the quality of your own stereo
- large screen so easy to see in any row
Facilities
- serve reasonably priced food (Burger and chips £7 ish) Beef, chicken, fish, vegan plus hot dogs and snacks bits like nachos
- you get a link by text just before you arrive so you can order food in your car and have it delivered
- Didn’t use toilets, so can’t comment
Thoughtful touches
- if you have to put your engine on to listen to the sound, or put blowers on to get rid of condensation build up, and your day lights come on, they come round and put little blankets on your lights to avoid disturbing others viewing
Points to note
- We hadn’t needed to download the track and trace app as we hadn’t been anywhere since it was launched. Here you had to, even if you just sit in your vehicle the whole time with your own household and the windows shut as it is cold. If you go outside, it is temporarily, nothing is inside. Food delivered to your car is at arms length. This seemed weird.
- Car battery can run low so we had to run the engine a bit. They do have jump leads apparently though.

"Absolute rubbish"
Absolute rubbish! Went to Stoneleigh, zero signs to say where to go, pointed down a long dark road, eventually found a girl stood on her own (she was very polite and explained how to switch on, just felt sorry for her stood in the dark) with a plastic box full of cheap plug in FM receivers, took a minute to realise we were already next to the screen as the place was a rough gritty car park, zero lighting, no atmosphere whatsoever. Website made it look lovely - it wasn’t. We hadn’t eaten as website said food was available, but all they had was a few bags of crisps and sweets. Screen size was good, and sound started ok, but soon became crackly then lost signal, happened three times till eventually we gave up and left early. Very disappointed as was looking forward to it. Having been to several LUNA screenings we thought this would be the same, we were wrong. Don’t bother with this company, save you’re money and go to Luna - the screens may be a bit smaller, but the over all experience is in a different league to this rubbish!

"This is a very budget experience"
This is a very budget experience. We have been to Luna cinema and Drive n Dine before this one. Both the others had high quality audio kit, Nightflix had cheap headphone with FM receivers, which we had to swap 3 times to get working.
No the screen was big, which was a bonus as the Luna screens are very small.
We took food, even though you are not allowed, but they only have sweets and popcorn on offer and warm bottles of drink.
The cars we parked right next to each other so you couldn’t have your windows down and there was a free for all at driving out with no staff instructions on when to leave.
We visited the Stoneleigh one and watched Tenet which was a very good film.

"Not worth it, stay at home and watch TV"
Good points - screen is a good size and staff were friendly. Bad points - audio device is shocking. We missed part of film as we had to go and find someone to get new audio device. First and second kit went crackly and stopped working. Used the headphones but one of those also stopped working. Beware, it says you can't bring food BUT there was no hot food available through venue, only crisps, bagged popcorn and limited cold drinks
(which were warm)!!

"Fantastic night"
Fantastic night at nightflix Colchester. Such a wonderful experience watching a film in the comfort of your own car. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We ordered food which was lovely, Sam who delivered the food to our car window was very efficient, friendly and polite. He kept his distance and helped us with all our queries.
The atmosphere at the end of the film was brilliant all other drivers bibbing their horns. A great safe night out. We will be back!! Keep up the good work.

"This was our first time at the open air…"
This was our first time at the open air movies.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The reason why I am Giving it low stars...
We decided not to have tea at home and eat whilst watching the movie. We double checked that hot food was on and the kids were excited about having a burger, watching the film.
However there were no hot food on and this left us all hungry. The only thing that was for sale were chocolate and pop.
By the time the film had finished all fast food restaurants were closed.
I hope in future they will clearly state on their website if food is not available.
But overall if was a good night.

"Fantastic"
Fantastic, was our very first drive in movie after a life time of wanting to go, we went to see rocky horror picture show, great price and no added cost for extra passengers like some others had avertised
In the comfort of our own car, so we couldn't hear anyone else talking through it
Food delivered stright to your car with only a short wait, toilets were very clean and decorated well
With helpful friendly staff
Thoroughly enjoyed every part of it will definitely be going again!
