Odeon Cinema

A fairly grotty cinema, the surroundings sometimes enlivened by the remnants of fights outside the nearby club (blood on the pavement, etc.)

Previously Odeon, now Empire. This is my nearest cinema so I use it, but I wish I had something better.
They have cheap nights on Tuesday & Thursday (Tickets under £4). Plus Orange Wednesday 2for1. If you book online then you can get premium seats for the price of regular seats, but you will be charged a booking fee per ticket. Why? No idea. So it is cheap and needs to be.
The whole place is very tired and run down. They have put in new premium seating which is better. Some of the old premium seating is still there, and the old normal seating. The seats are on a gentle incline as opposed to stadium style, so smaller people can be view blocked. Tall people will be uncomfortable as the head rest pad will be on your shoulders.
The screenings start approximately on time, often a few minutes late. It is not that busy during the week. Food is the usual affair. At least they have all the big films.

No longer Odeon as it was recently bought out and rebranded an Empire Cinema.
The prices are expensive (unless you manage an Orange wednesday or a McDonalds 241 offer) but they offer the usual overpriced sweets, drinks, popcorn, slushy drinks, nachos, hotdogs etc to accompany your hours of entertainment!
The seating is a little outdated and could do with refurbishing, and their is not much difference in the normal and luxury seats which is probably why most of the showings are undesignated seating now!
The staff are helpful and usually happy, and the experience is quite pleasant all round.

reasonable seating. expensive as it is everywhere! needs moderising a tad as it’s the same as it was 100 years ago!
