One of the best IMAX screen in Europe. 20 meters by 25 meters. Leg space is reduced but gives you the best stadium style.

The BFI Imax is reborn. The 12 channel sound system does wonders for surround even if the sound reverberation hasn't been improved and the surround effect itself isn't as effective as Dolby Atmos. The new laser system is nice and sharp even if it isn't as bright as Imax Dual Laser or Dolby Cinema.
The biggest upgrade for me though is the seating. The old red seats were rubbish and tightly packed but these new ones are much wider and better padded. It is a shame though that the armrests aren't padded unless you go for the premium seats with wider legroom. I feel that it should be a given with how much you pay for Imax to at least get padding on armrests.
Overall some very nice and overdue upgrades to the cinema make it a worthy place to go for those big releases. Personally however, I believe that the best overall cinema experience without visual, sound or comfort compromise can be found in a Dolby Cinema.

One of the best IMAX screens in the UK. I recently saw Avatar and really appreciated the screen size. The premium seats are comfortable but lacks under thigh support. There is enough leg room. The tricky thing is getting the right seats to enjoy the benefits of the massive screen and sound effects. My top tip would be to choose seats around P10 - P15. They are perfectly placed and will give you the best experience.

They weren’t kidding saying this is the biggest and most luxurious cinema in all of UK. Got to experience Black Panther 2 here. First Cinema experience in UK.

We went to the IMAX today to see the Avatar 2. Amazing 3 D experience that did justice to a great film. We had VIP seats with plenty of leg room and very comfortable. The place is a vwry short walk from the underground station. There is a cafe place downstaits that sels nice cakes and another one on the first floor that sells all the usual pop corn and other cinema snacks. The place was clean and staff helpful.

Went to watch Avatar 2, the new sound system & laser imax screen is out of this world. The seats are a bit small leg room wise even the premier one's.

Great picture and sound, best in the UK. Seating though could be better Avatar was over 2 hours 40 minutes will only go in the future if the film is under 2 hours. Update 19/12/22 seats and screen have been updated, new seats are really comfy watched Avatar 2 and the seat was comfy throughout.

Feel alive again and try to adjust with real life and wait for another magic to appear on magical screen….!!!
