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!
