Odeon Cinema

Paid £12.50 to sit in an oven. The air con is either still not working or not even turned on, was too uncomfortable to sit back in the seat because of the heat. Fix it please ODEON!

I was invited to a film premier here, black tie event and very nice
Staff were polite and helpful and there was no cost… sad to say the film couldnt measure up to the rest of the experience
It was quite a nice place to go, I would recommend!!!

This cinema can be found over the bridge at the back of town. A large cinema with a good selection of films. Screens based on different floors which can be accessed by stairs of a lift. Has a selection of drinks, snacks, ice-​cream and pick-​n-​mix. I went here a couple of weeks ago and was annoyed to see large groups of teenagers hanging about on the stairs, so while trying to get to the screen where my film was showing had to step over several of them, members of staff did not seem to care that this was the case. Other cinemas use a systme where you do not go through unless you can enter your screen which seems a better idea.

Nice clean cinema, very roomy with many screens offering a good choice of film. The picture and sound quality is always good and wherever you sit you always have a great view of the screen. The food area can be a bit pricey but it is very handy to have available. There is a good choice of food, the best being the popcorn. There are loads of toilets available so there are never queues even at busier times. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

As much as I love going to the cinema, I am not keen on the Odeon. You have to choose your seats whereas I would rather go into the cinema and pick them and there are other cinemas in Essex that let you do this.
The seats are some of the most uncomfortable I have ever sat in. Towards the end of a film you lose concentration as you are so aware of how uncomfortable you are with parts of your anatomy going numb! You can pay more for supposedly better seats, but I find even these uncomfortable.
