The main screen is relatively small considering how a large auditorium is. Not only that it is skewed so the people on the top balcony can see it. The other screens (the mezzanine) are ridiculously small, smelly and hot. To top it off tickets are around £17 each! Avoid at all costs. Stick to your suburban multi-plex's or cross your fingers and hope Screen 1 and The Empire Leicester Sq is showing your film.

The screen at the Odeon, Leicester Square is, in fact, a very large one! It may appear somewhat smaller when viewed from the rear extremeties of such a vast auditorium but remains very impressive. The screen is not "skewed" so that people in the one balcony can see it; it is tilted in order that the projection beam (from above the rear balcony) hits it at the optimum angle. The vast majority of larger and "super" cinemas built from the late 1920s onwards and having similarly sited projection rooms, had the screens slightly tilted for the same, optical reason. This Odeon, the flagship of the circuit since 1937, has always been at the forefront of technology and was the first cinema in the U.K. to show films digitally. Equipment is regularly updated/renewed and standards of presentation and sound are exemplary. Incidentally the Empire 1 in Leicester Square also has a tilted screen! Just slightly less so due to the cinema being of stadium design with rear seating on echelons rather than a balcony. Local multiplex? No thanks!

My name is Niamh 11 years old I come from Liverpool. My auntie gave me a call and said because I have been so good at school I can go to london with her so on The 25th October 09 I went to London on a Virgin train but we weren't in standard seats we were in first class seat. Sorry I should get on with the premier review.

On the 27th October 09 we went to the Micheal Jackson Premier my 2 cousins from Ireland (dublin) Susan and Joe and my auntie. It was a funny way of getting the wrist bands. We saw jls, westlife, melb, chipmunck, lemar, george samson and peter andre. It was so up setting because me and my cousin Joe danced to Micheal Jackson music since we were 3 years old. One of the fun things was we were on french tv, cbbc News-round the bbc, I got kisses of loads of them and one from a newspaper. Me ,my auntie and my 2 cousins really enjoyed it. Thanks for reading my review.
