Odeon Cinema

a huge cinema a stone’s throw away from my house, which is cool. The only negative I’ve got to report so far is the popcorn tasted so old I couldn’t believe I’d paid £4.50 for it! I hope this was just a once off because it was disgusting but my film had already started by the time I discovered this so it was too late to complain!

Il y a plus simple que d’aller au cinéma à Londres. Déjà, les prix sont hallucinants, dans les 20 pounds par personne pour une séance ! Il faut donc bien choisir son film et privilégier les cinéma IMAX histoire de vraiment en profiter quoi.
L’Odeon Greenwich est assez éloigné du centre. il faut prendre le metro puis le bus et en venant du centre on en a facile pour 1h de trajet. Pensez à réserver vos places avant de venir, au cas où… Car ici, en Angleterre, on achète des places fixes, comme à l’Opéra et on né peut pas s’assoir n’importe où dans la salle.
Vous pouvez choisir donc une place normal à 20 pounds (ouch) ou une place premium avec popcorn, cocktail et nachos à volonté (si je me souviens bien) pour 28 pounds. Sachez que si ça né vous va pas, il y a plusieurs cafés sur place pour prendre autre chose à boire et à manger. Je recommande quand même le popcorn barbecue ou le sucré/​salé.
Sinon et bien les salles sont immenses, les écrans encore plus grands (IMAX c’est quand même sympa) et c’est assez propre. Impossible d’étre géné par le mec hyper grand devant car les salles sont très en pentes. Et ça c’est cool quand t’es tout petit (e) comme moi !

perfect view close restaurants perfect for outings

I remember when this cinema was built and I used to visit quite a lot and loved it. But as the price went up and the standards dropped, I moved on. But there was a Bollywood film I wanted to see, and I wanted free parking so back I headed to the Odeon after a few years absence using my Orange Wednesday voucher. Walking in I was very surprised — it was new, and spotless with a Costa inside. Tickets were still a bit on the expensive side at £10.20 each (because of voucher we paid £10.20 for both of us). So far so good. Got to the screen (screen 7) and yup, that too had been redecorated with new seats and it looked great. And that’s where it ends. The seats were the worst things I have ever ever sat on! For the whole film I could not get comfy. They are rock solid with no give at all and are strangely short in length (I’m 5’2, and my feet touched the ground but my legs were hanging off the seat — it was like sitting on a ledge!). These chairs have not been designed for viewing pleasure! I’m not sure what they’ve been designed for. I do know though, that because of the fear of having to sit on them again I will never willingly visit an Odeon!

It may not be as posh as gunwalf, but it is more cosey and a lot cheaper!

It’s alright but I’ve experienced better. I’m spoiled being American as I’m used to Lowes IMAX theatres in New York City where they add butter to your popcorn!!! At the end of the day, however, I got to see my film so it was alright.

Very busy! On the weekend. Always book online FIRST!!! I made a BIG mistake the last time I went there. But if your film is sold out. Book for the next showing and going to any restaurant near by…

It’s rare I come here (I much prefer Greenwich Picturehouse up the road), but as flick houses go, this one is pretty good. Don’t expect a fancy experience, or anything special. Instead expect a good choice of films and overpriced sweeties. The screens are massive and a ticket will set you back about a tenner.
I’m lucky enough to be sandwiched inbetween this cinema and the nicer one in Greenwich. I just see what’s on at both and make my choice that way. But I do like that they have classic film days, that’s always fun. Classic film days are fun. Think they do screenings for the hearing impaired as well.
Location with this one plays a part, you’re ten minutes walk from North Greenwich tube but also on a little strip of restaurants, so you’ll have somewhere to eat when you’re done. Even if it is just Nando’s.

I don’t like going here. Once your in your seat and the film is about to begin then it’s fine. The screens and auditoriums are large and plentiful so you probably won’t miss out on a seat even if you going to see a popular film. Also, their seats are getting better as they now seem larger and more padded. So, once your in your seat, it’s fine.
What I hate is everything that comes before getting to my seat. The place is always busy, largely with the ASBO youth congregating in the large entrance hall either just hanging around or playing the arcade machines — thoroughly irritating noises those things make when coupled with the youthful vocal exuberance. None of this is as loud as the crap music the ODEON insist on blaring out which reverberates around the building.
Apart from that there are the ticket machines that appear to hate me. Once I’ve queued, selected my film and paid for my tickets the machine actually quick-​fire spits them down on to the floor. Is it too much to ask for a ledge to collect printed tickets instead of scurrying around the floor trying to retrieve them all?
One time I even received a dirty look from a spotty youth (this one did work there however) because I’d brought my bag of sweets to the wrong counter to pay for them. I wouldn’t have been there in the first place had I not been waiting for several minutes at the actual sweet buying counter which, apparently, is for display purposes only. A small queue forming behind me but no-​one to serve us. Rubbish. My explanation of this to the spotty youth fell on deaf ears. Kids, they don’t listen.
There is a massive car park outside which can be handy — I don’t drive though.
Compared to the other irritating chain, VUE cinemas, I believe that ODEONs’ tickets cost a fraction more but their sweets and stuff cost a fraction less.
bye-​bye, Ian

It is the future of cinema.
HUGE screens, lovely seats and the sound was amazing
Like all cinemas in the UK, don’t get food and drink from the shop (unless you want to spend more than your cinema ticket for a drink and sweets)
Go to the Sainsburys next door

When you’re a regular visitor to some of London’s nicest cinemas (Curzons, Picturehouses), you forget how bad an Odeon can be. Well, one visit to the Odeon Greenwich and it all comes flooding back…
The good things first — the screens are big. There’s free parking. And they sell Ben and Jerry’s icecream.
But that’s it.
We went there last night and it wasn’t fun. When we arrived, we had to wait 10 minutes just to collect our pre-​paid tickets from the ticket machine. Then we had to queue around the whole foyer for 20 minutes before we were allowed to get into the screening room. We were finally allowed to take our seats at 9.40, for a 9.30 screening. They had too many films starting at the same time and just couldn’t handle the demand. Because they couldn’t keep up with the turnover, the cinema was dirty with popcorn everywhere.
On top of this, it cost us £19 for two tickets. Want popcorn and drinks too and you need to add at least another £10.
Disappointing.

The cinema used to be much better back in the days when filmworks owned it, now the screens with screening times etc harldy work n it looks poorly. maybe go to another

The Odeon in Greenwich is a great cinema. Built in a retail Park just off the A2 there is masses of parking spaces. The auditoriums are large so they rarely run out of tickets.
There are numerous large screens and the food counter sells all the usual snacks such as hot dogs, popcorn and nachos. I’m a big eater so including entry I can easily spend £10-£15, even with a student discount.
The gallery is definitely worth trying out. You get a private lounge and bar at your disposal with as many snacks and drinks as you can eat. The seats are over-​sized comfy chairs that are great to lounge in. The gallery costs more money though.
The Greenwich Odeon is a great cinema to watch blockbuster movies in but it is expensive.

As a cinema goes its the usual stuff, state of the art etc but don’t go there unless you’re a polar bear because the place is so darn cold you’ll freeze off your brass monkeys. Even in the summer I go there wearing a jumper and a coat as the air con is on ridiculous below zero mark –50 somewhere and the only sound effects I usually hear are my teeth chattering. Go to Bluewater much more comfy and less expensive

This is my favourite cinema, and i try to venture here with the misses at least once a month.
We usually go for the gallery seating as then you get the leather seating and a licensed bar.
the cinema itself is always clean and well organised. Its not very often that it gets too busy as it is a very big cinema,
there is a massive car park and never had a problem parking, but not always that close to the entrance.
there are quite a few choices of restaurant to eat in before the cinema which is a added bonus, and we usually go for Zizzi.
Compared to the other cinemas within the area this has to be one of the best!

Where I live there is no cinemas for miles so I have a few to choose from in several directions but I always come back to this one.
Its a small cinema surrounded by bars, restaurants and boutique type shops, which means that you can make the evening longer by going for a meal, or having a drink with a friend before going into the film.
The screens are quite small which I like as it doesn’t get too noisy, I usually book in advance and pick up the tickets from the machine, however the last on both of my last two trips the machine was broken and I had to queue!
There is plenty of choice when it comes to cinema snacks (same as all odeons I would imagine) — personally its ben and jerrys for me everytime!
The last time I was here, the toilets were pretty disgusting (this is the only time I have found this so Im hoping it will be better the nice time I go!)

I’ve been here a few times and everytime enjoyed myself.
The seats are comfy and you also get service to your chair for wine and other drink and food over to you while the films on so you don’t miss anything. Plus you can have nachos for free and other stuff but that is up in the area at the top of the screen so you pay a little extra but sometimes worth it if its a new film or a long film.

this is one of my favourite cinema house, the building holds more than 14 film screens, it has its own bar on the ground floor, coffee stall, popcorn and ice cream. its a nice place for family and for new lovers going on a first date.

The cinema has 18 screens in total, so there’s always a good variety of films on at any given time (including Bollywood and occasionally Nollywood films). It’s a good alternative to the West End cinemas if you live in the area. There are Chinese and Italian restaurants, Nando’s and Pizza Hut just outside the cinema and a Sainsburys at the other end of the road. There’s a massive car park opposite the cinema so parking is never a problem.

Great place for the family, friendly and caring staff and a wide selection of films at any one time. The popcorn and drinks and snacks are very over priced, but most cinemas are now adays. They have a few food deals on at any one time which helps to soften the blow.

This is the best cinema I’ve been to outside London. Outside, the car park is huge so there’s no trouble parking. There are a handful of restaurants, including Pizza Hut, so lunch or dinner can be combined with your trip. Inside, there’s everything you’d expect to find by way of snacks and drinks and the seats are spacious and comfortable. It’s an Odeon cinema so tickets can be booked online and, although it’s hard to find a number to speak to someone, when you do; the service is excellent. On one occasion, I was running late for a film (stuck in traffic). I phoned the cinema and they simply swapped my tickets for a later showing. This type of service goes a long way.
