Watching The Odyssey in 70mm IMAX at the BFI IMAX was an unforgettable cinematic experience—stunning visuals, incredible sound, and total immersion from start to finish. The large-format film presentation makes every frame feel epic and truly showcases why Nolan insists on IMAX 70mm. A must-watch if you get the chance—this is cinema at its absolute best.

Paid £25 per seat to watch Michael and although it was pricey, it was most definately worth it for such an epic viewing. We sat in the middle, up in row K and those seats were perfect. The sound was phenomenal. Would definately use Imax again for another movie that deserves the biggest screen for viewing.

Came here to watch project hail Mary. The movie was fantastic, there's good selection of sweets before you enter, the screen is huge vertically and the sound is immersive. But there is barely ANY leg room, the seats are so small and very uncomfortable. When someone has to get past, you have to stand up, let the seat fold, as there's barely any room. I accidentally bumped into the guy sat behind me, that's how close the seats are. The outside of the cinema is also really rundown and the toilets are OK. Staff are wonderful. But I prefer vue printworks in Manchester over BFI, if I'm being honest.
