70 inch+ depending on aspect ratio projector and screen. Denon cinema amp with full DTS EX and Dolby Digital ES Kef front and centre speakers maundaunt short surround and mission passive surround all finished off with a 200 watt yamaha sub woofer that shakes the room plenty 
If your ever anywhere near pop in have a demo  |
Meh, that's nothing.. Watched Cloverfield at The Empire Leicester square..
50 ft (at least) screen. Comfortable reclining seats, and a THX designed , 60 JBL speaker (I think) sound system..
As for the film, thought it was excellent, even the fact it was shot on a hand held camera (a techniques that I think is slightly irritating, and overused by Hollywod) added to the tension.
The only thing that detracted from the experience was the soundtrack. While it was extremely impressive, but the video would have been shot on either a handheld DV camcorder, or a Handheld HDV camcorder. None of these (to my knowledge) capture a full surround soundtrack, so, to complete the image, it should really have been stereo.

re: Rate the last movie you saw
National treasure: Book of Secrets. A little boring and seemed to go on far too long. 4/10
I actually fell asleep at one point, however that may have been due to the hangover from sat night, lol.

Cloverfield. While I enjoyed it I also found it frustrating that whenever something significant happened..the camera would be turned away from the action.

The thought of paying so much to watch a film at the EMpire would in itself detract from the enjoyment of the film for me. How much is it nowadays Stuart?

£13, but the experience is (IMO) worth it.

Have they redesigned it recently? - last time I went there was 7 maybe 8 years ago, to see 'Shakespeare In Love' (don't ask..) and I thought the seating layouts were rubbish, there wasn't enough height difference between the levels, so had someone's head stuck right in the middle of it - AND - I had to listen to the girl I had taken to it see it complain about having someones head stuck in the middle of it.

They usually moan, but never complain.....

re: Rate the last movie you saw
Been to see Jumper earlier. I'd say it's worth a 6 out of 10.
Everything in it is good (especially Rachel Bilson  ) apart from a couple of things. 1 minor, 1 not so minor.
The minor point is the fights get confusing, with the characters "jumping" all over the screen (and in one fight, apparently randomly to/from any one of three continents). This makes the fights a little difficult (but certainly not impossible) to follow.
The more major point, for me, is Haydn Christenson. I thought he had pretty much proved he can't act in Star Wars.. The director of this apparently thought he could. With a better lead actor, I'd be tempted to say this film was worth an 8.
