Minions & Monsters

Minions & Monsters is playing at Showcase Cinema De Lux in Southampton, with screenings running daily. It's one of the titles that's been on the bill since late June, so it's well and truly settled in by now.

The story is exactly what the title suggests: the Minions are on the hunt for frightening creatures to cast in their monster movie. It's a family-friendly one, with the Minions as usual, and it comes from Illumination and Universal Studios, so it's a big-studio production rather than a small indie. If you've got kids to keep occupied, it's a straightforward choice for a cinema trip.

You'll find the cinema at Showcase Cinema De Lux, Level 4 of the West Quay Shopping Centre, so it's right in the middle of town and easy to get to. Because it's running daily, you can pick whatever day and time suit you best rather than working around a single date.

Tickets are £8.90 to £11.40, with OAP and NUS tickets at £7.95 to £8.95, under 15s at £7.45 to £7.95, and military tickets at £7.50. If you're going with a group, there's a family ticket for £30, and gallery seats are £16.40. XPlus films add £3, 3D films add £2, and 3D glasses are £1. Check the listings for the full range of times.
