This is good to hear, going there this evening instead of IMAX

@@angeloedades went to the Cineworld imax the next day and the image there was much more uneven, heavy vignetting, and more muted and the sound not as clear or bassy. Also the seats there are terrible if you’re taller than 5ft 9

So I'm currently debating whether to go watch Dune here or watch it in 70mm elsewhere? what would you recommend?

If you want the largest screen possible with the full 15 perf 70mm imax experience, but not very comfrotable seats, then I suggest the BFI Imax, but that;'s sold out for weeks. If you're ok with a smaller screen but incredible sound, picture and the most comfortable seats, I would go here and sit in the front two rows, and essentially get the same field of view as Imax anyway. I sat in the middle of the front row and eassentially had my feet "in" the movie as the screen goes all the way down to the floor and there's a lot of carpet between it and the front row reclining seats. Easier to get tickets here too @@ma__mo

Great! I heard some people complained about a lack of bass in Dolby Cinemas compared to IMAX. How was it in this particular one?

Glad you like them!

Thank you for such a great feedback. Hopefully ODEON will notice this :-)

Thanks for watching! I appreciate your feedback.

Hope you enjoy it!

It's done!

I do my own customize eq for my private THX cinema. pink floyd 'The wall' dvd shown to guests last week on the 38.000kw THX six-track Dolby Stereo with split surrounds and the baby boom track felt like an earthquake rumble at times. one friend and his other guest two girls said "it felt like having my body massage". one other friend "my butt feels like its tinkering for a week". Yes they enjoyed 'the wall' in THX sound system with up to x115 JBL speakers at 38.000kw THX, 15.12. 6/8 . no need to for me to ever go to an odeon when odeon don't have THX. or even my overhead surround layout that goes way beyond the substandard basic stereo pairs per each zone. mine simply goes further which is so simple and easy to do and gives far better overhead sound localization and is only one of its kind in the uk. system Denon AVC-X8500H Dolby Stereo CP200 Dolby CP500 Sony SDDS D3000 sony SDDS D3000 DCX2496 x4 overhead surround expansion PLIIIxPlus with Dolby cheap as fish and chips SA10 x3 of heights 1 , 2 and 3 are expanded with three middle channels placed between the basic stereo pairs or simply put as, Dolby LCR overheads, what no body saw that?? it was obvious to me when i first saw and heard this at the Empire Leicester Square, 2013, with star trek into darkness, dolby atmos. as ex projectionist retired for UCI and Warner Bros, I know what to look for, listen for and feel for. Also this THX cinema uses, below matrix surround! where certain sounds can pan underneath/below the Irwin cinema rocker seats, yeah try doing that at home. substandard cinemas can only do surround speakers that not changed much in layout design since 1940 and mid 60's to , nothing much changes and the overhead surround only goes halfway up then back down to directional speakers behind the screen or the surrounds. mine goes from floor to middle height of the surrounds or screen channels up to the ceiling, depending on the mix and what is mixed with steering of the phase of plus phase and negative anti-phase signals. and thou most of it is matrix, its way better than, "upmixer" dolby labs manufacturers call it now. upmixer is just another fancy brand name, just as long they don't say "matrix" which is really what it is. just a hybrid matrix with some relay switching that can be heard when AVR is switched.

Also the laser 4k projector I have isn't as good as 35mm Vic V projector was with changing aperture plate and lens flip over , masking change and sound format fader adjustment all within few seconds. video projectors are so slow by many seconds, now then. no masking used in my home i see no point for masking anymore as commercial cinemas have phased it out. my fiend asked me when is next presentation? I may do a sci-fi Star Trek marathon in similar way as Empire Leicester Square, as I can still feel how it, sounded, felt like with each 35mm to 70mm and bass getting dynamic with each movie.

I felt captain kick putting his feet up on the chair in front of him, felt his shoes/boots against my body at 20 meters distance and that is soft dynamic range range scene. Those JBL 4675A in my opinion best cinema speaker ever made for THX sound system. I have to settle with x5 JBL 4673A in small room, lol they sound like earthTHXquake! and that's with the JBL subs baby boom LFE muted. lol Surrounds have bass on star trek originals. star trek III was impressive with the enterprise going to warp speed.

@@andysummersthxcinemaandmyc7748 I don’t know why you are so angry and cursing all the time in your video. Your room and spec is not good at all. Using JBL 8340A surround speaker which is 10+ years old speaker and putting everything on the top is nuts. If you really know what THX spec is you wouldn’t even will being a jerk around and show off like this. Now days THX cinema is equipped with Dolby atmos and no where near Dolby cinema. From the speaker spec and video projection.

Eventually.

Thanks for watching my videos. I loved seats E10/11, sound was great and screen was big enough. If you prefer bigger screen you can try Row C or D. I had a plan to get tickets on row D for the next movie, just to compare the experience.

@@boredtech How did the experience on row D compare?

Yes it's gone. However, Odeon Leicester Sq still has it's 70mm projector.

This cinema is not a reworking of the old. The former site was demolished completely.

Yes. It’s enough

I felt exactly as you explained while watching "No Time To Die" in Leicester Square Odeon Dolby Cinema. West End Dolby Cinema sounded great.

Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

It looks like the screen is 1.85:1. Scope films (as shown in the video) will be shown in the middle of the screen (full width) but with gaps between the image top and bottom of the screen.

I believe it's closer to 1.85:1 as there is black bars at the top and bottom of the screen. But they are so black that they are barely noticeable.

Thank you very much, that's noted!

Thanks for watching!

This is screen 1, screen 2 is not a Dolby Cinema, Nothing to see there :-)

I like that cinema too!

Oh, interesting. Olympic cinema, The Cinema in the Arches at Battersea and The Cinema at Selfridges are the same company. A funny story that I have asked The Cinema in the Arches to film a tour video, but they said NO. Thanks for the recommendation, that's been noted.

At this moment Dolby Cinema is where you can experience true Dolby Vision Projected Image. Black is infinitely black here!

As far as I know they are building one in Dublin. But I haven't heard about Onyx in London yet.

From what I know not all Odeon Cinemas have Dolby Atmos and there are only two Dolby Cinemas owned by Odeon.

Only screen 1. A shame really….

Yes!

Thanks for watching! I don't really get what you would like to know about AV8805A and 2 channel?

@@boredtech in analog settings What crossover I can set sopra n2 focal Small or large for 2 channel

I'm totally with you on the ratio issue..all that money spent on seats/ sound/ projection and a pathetic 1:85 screen so no side masking..what on earth were Odeon thinking..the screen is key ..I visited the old Odeon westend and its 2 screens had side masking and were huge..Unfortunately I will boycott it ( not that anyone is bothered lol!! ) A great list opportunity..shame on Odeon..kind regards

Thank you for the information, but I was working that day. I saw Interstellar on 70mm there, that was epic!

@@boredtech I saw it on the friday and went back for saturday. Im so happy u went ive always wanted your thoughts on the best spot for seating in that cinema i love your reviews and i have booked for this cinema row E for my whole family to watch the 50th an of the godfather.

@@eliasgreyson4206 oh, that's great. Let me know you thought on West End Dolby Cinema.

hey there, I know this is an old comment but wanted to ask about your seat choice. when I went to BFI i was in L17 and I thought I could have been in row K for a better experience as M and up would be a bit too far. what makes row N the best for you?

@@matr1x327 I am not too back to where the whole screen is visible to me its the perfect distance where when 70mm is showing you can see the entire screen but when you are looking at 15/35mm shots you are dead centre with the screen at least it is how it is for me

Indeed it is!

odeon vexes me they are garbage trash barco projectors of garbage trash. dolby labs cp850 of garbage trash atmos. the screens look garbage trash. I never ever again step one toe inside odeon garbage trash cinema.

Hope you enjoy it!

I don't think so.

Why would you need to?

Thanks, for pointing that out!

Ohhh, that's a shame. Hopefully I manage to rebook them.

That's great, let me know what you think!

Do you mean Odeon Luxe Holloway?

@@boredtech No Odeon Luxe & Dine in Islington

@@arzn253 Oh, cool. Didn't know that it's there. Thank you for the tip.

Thank you very much.

I do value every opinion, thanks for expressing yours.
