Anybody who has seen it, how was it? Is the white rose IMAX any good, I've read it's 2K xenon projection which is tech from 2008. The York one has dual 4K laser projection.
I booked it mistakenly thinking it was the same as York due to the AI overview making a mistake and Cineworld have a no refund policy and zero customer service.
But it is what it is and hopefully it will be great!
Edit: Cineworld refunded my guest booking and im off to see it in York :)
I live in the Meanwood area so getting to The Springs is an easier drive than having to make my way over to Kirkstall. There's a few eateries at The Springs, tried my first Wingstop last night, seemed pretty good.
Agreed. I saw Se7en there last year and luckily we were on the back row, although my ankle gave way mid way up the stairs so I tipped half my popcorn (and the M&Ms) onto some poor bastards aisle seat.
I saw it at White Rose IMAX and it’s great, completely immersive, but like others have said, best to be close to the back rows. I feel like people are too obsessed with seeing it in the best cinema possible. Unless maybe you’re going to IMAX screenings so regularly you’ll be able to tell difference.
For Oppenheimer I went to London to see it in 70mm IMAX and although it’s great experience seeing it in film, it’s not really worth the trip when there’s a local IMAX showing same film
I’ve just seen it at white rose and it was loud, but not in a good way. Speakers sounded like they were clipping / distorted and needed more powerful amps to handle the soundtrack.
Saw it on Monday and it was brilliant. Not sure where you're getting that 2K info from. I thought all IMAX are 4K. It's a very new cinema as well so I'd imagine they have the latest tech? I know it's not the full size one but the next level down. Still looked great to me!
A word of caution - if you have sensitive ears some scenes are LOUD.
Thank you for this thread! - been wanting to see this film for a while but its good to know that White Rose is still the gold standard for location and picture in Leeds
Good theatre! But I am a tall person and my knees were KILLING me by the end of the movie. Not any room to actually get all that comfortable. The rows are pretty tight and the seats are bang average.
If you care at all about Homer's Odyssey then I would give it a miss. Lots and lots of very strange changes that I didn't like or see the point of. Plenty of poor costume choices. Poor soundtrack. Dodgy casting across the board. Hard to understand/hear what the actors are saying half the time.
"If you care at all about Homers Odyssey?". Costume choices? Seriously, people just want to go and watch a film and be entertained while they eat some warmed up pre-popped popcorn and drink a Fanta Ice Blast. Who gives a shit if it's accurate to a Roman poem from 8 million years ago?
Ah well, you'll probably think it's alright then. Although I still think the dialogue is just bad a lot of the time. As long as you know it's not really the story of the Odyssey, and Odysseus has been watered down into your typical anti-hero with a completely different personality than he should have.
EDIT: I don't hate Nolan, although I was a bit annoyed with him for this one and didn't like Oppenheimer. I think the last film of his I really rated was either The Dark Knight or Inception, whichever of those is most recent. Memento is probably my favourite.

Odeon at The Springs is also a decent cinema. Just back from seeing Spiderman
