Last night, Mrs Streetrod and I made a rare visit up to central London without the kids so decided to take in a Movie. So we went to see Star Trek, I had already seen it, but the other half had not but I was happy to see it again.

Anyway it was showing in screen five which is one of the very small screens and would seat no more that 40 - 50 people.

The point of my post is the quality of the viewing experience, OMG it was brilliant. I had seen the film at my local Vue cinema and loved it but seeing it at the Empire was like watching a completely different movie. The focus was perfect and the picture pin sharp with colour so vibrant I could not take the silly grin off my face. And this was not the THX certified screen. The sound quality was also of the highest standard.

Does anyone know if they use digital projectors?

Anyway from now on I will make the effort to see all the future big movies at the Empire. I recommend that if you are every in town take in a movie, you won’t regret it.
