    The first cinema I've been to, in London, where they adjust the volume so you don't bleed out of your ears... Big thumbs up!

    Screen 4 is now 4DX. Lobby refurbishment is complete and looks stunning. Get the West End unlimited card if you visit often.

    Nice Cinema, not a big fan of the small ones... IMAX & Super Screen are the best 👍🏼👍🏼

    Amazing brand new IMAX screen! They've completely redone Screen 1. It's a proper IMAX like the BFI at Waterloo.

    The empire has friendly staff, and great comfy seats. Avoid the popcorn though its often too salty.

    New 'impact' screen 1 is raked so choose seats half way up and avoid 'bean bags' - they're right at front almost under the screen so looking up

    Excellent cinema. Screen one is incredibly spacious. Food is expensive but all cinema food usually is. Popcorn is lovely though.

    Tickets are 10 pound for adults on Saturday night, although there is no discount card here, the price is better than other cinema chains.

    Main screens are good n' fine. Smaller ones eg, 8 are TINY! Why no discount for those? Check before you go which screen.

    The Empire is London's biggest cinema and best screen. The many big film premieres it hosts are great for star spotting.

    Not quite as nice as the Odeons, but they screen the big films and not too expensively.

    Staff forgot to switch off the light in the beginning. Epic. 10 pounds for watching movie in a tiny room. Why?
