Taking the whole family on the 18th by which time eldest son and daughter will have seen it at the cast and crew screening on the 16th and be bursting with spoilers!
Mind you, of the 8 family members going 4 have Christmas do's before we hit Greenwich at 10:45pm. Fair to middling chance they will be a bit tiddly! Starting to regret the timing a little.
Very excited and its a rare treat to get them all in the same place at once.

Out of interest, how do midnight screenings usually work? Considering Odeon normally do a solid 30 minutes of adverts and trailers will it be the same (I know they are usually heavily reduced for special screenings)? I thought it would have made more sense to have an 11:30 start with the movie starting at midnight.

I think they do without the stuff beforehand.Only been to one (Prometheus) and what a dissapointment that bloody was!

It's 135 minutes according to the BBFC/IMDB sites.
My showing starts at 12:01 and ends at 2.36am which gives 20 mins of fluff by my calculations.
Excited, never been to a midnight showing before.
Odd - the midnight showings I have been to had very little fluff - they just went straight into the movie. No ads or trailers to speak of. My showing starts at 12:01 and ends at 2.36am which gives 20 mins of fluff by my calculations.

20 minutes is close to a normal night's amount of fluff.
Adults are really that enamored about a star wars film that they'll go to a midnight showing and get this excited? I get star wars movies were decent scifi for their time (only saw three original movies), but never realised that people would be this hyped up for a scifi movie aimed at kids.
I just cant understand it but I suppose we're all different, hope it's worth the amount of giddiness it's producing.
The trailers made it look like typical "disney does hunger games" type of stuff, will watch it when it comes to blu ray but not holding much hope for it as a classic.

I didnt see any spoilers.
Spoilers aren't just about plot for me. I've seen far too many trailers now where they cram in all the big special effects set pieces. I want to be sat in the cinema with my jaw on the floor as I watch the Millenium Falcon do it's thing, not be thinking I've seen the Falcon do that flip 10 times already.Guvernator said:

Indeed, the jeep going over the crest and then the camera panning back to reveal the dinosaur valley in Jurassic Park...wow! Will never forget that moment as an 11 year old in the cinema.They ruined what was potentially an awesome moment in Jurassic World by including the motorbike scene in all promotional material.
