I also found the subtitles difficult to read due to the way the seats were arranged
LOl now if you'd been at the front you would be the only ones to read them ;)
Actually I was sat in the back row which was raised slightly higher so I had a perfect unobstructed view of the screen. The bit when the subtitles came on and the entire sea of heads in front of me rose up as one was hilarious.
I was sitting in the back row toooooo!
- was not part of the couple who were talking during the movie though!! Just to make that clear! :D

Ah, I wondered why he was delirious but he asked for you by name was so funny too... I'm glad that's been cleared up.

The ushers were asking people to move up. I sat near the back and the guy behind had two seats empty on one side and one on his other side. He was sitting last but one from the end, so easy to see.

I was there all the time, waiting for him to be asked to move up. He never was... not until about 10 minutes when the film started and he said my mates popped out, they'll be back soon. I arrived at 6.05pm (on the dot :)) and never saw these 'mates'... Why did the ushers pick on some people but not on others?

Yeah they were rather random. I really don't understand why some people pretend to have people sitting next to them when there is clearly no one with them - or are this imaginary invisible friends like Harvey?

Fair enough, no one likes to be cramped in a cinema, but it was clear it was MEGA BUSY, so don't be selfish :nono: ... but keeping three seats is a bit much. He had more than one imaginary friend.

I probably didn't really need to write this post, I just wanted to use the :nono: smiley :).

Oh, my view on the film. It took a while for me to get into, but it grew on me. The other three people with me found it confusing. I thought it was a bit too long. People complained Karate Kid was long, but this was longer and I found KK more enjoyable.

Yes, I did to have a good moan about the cinema too. Couldn't see Empire, but I chose London Leicester Square.

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM? :mad:

SPACE was the problem. There wasn't enough of it.

I thought Haymarkets screen 2 was crap. This beat it!

You'll be okay if you're seeing something on Screen 1, it's the smaller screens that are the problem (Inception was in screen 2)
