The reason why he wasn't allowed to film in the screen is because it's *terrible*. You get about 10cm more legroom than you do on a plane. The seats don't recline, and there's a single, shared cupholder and tray alternating between the seats. A thoroughly uncomfortable experience, I don't know what they were thinking.

Im afraid on demand digital films that can be watched at home are what the younger generation are going . The film industry is moving to streaming formats ,even the marvel films are going to be put out on streaming platforms . This cinema will struggle as film audiences are still well below 2020 viewers and the lack of quality film releases is killing cinema theatres . Plus the price is ridiculous .
@Batman-dz1bk7 ай бұрын
true, they do price themselves out too. I think people would go more often if it didnt cost an obscene amount of money. I went more often when odeon was £5 a ticket. These are £17 for an imax ticket here, so would only go if there was a really good movie out, which these days is rare to get 1 or 2 great ones a year.
