I raised the issue with the manager, who acknowledged there was a problem but dismissed my complaint. I then contacted Odeon through their website and was promised a response.

The screen is much bigger so as to fill your whole field of vision - this effect works best if you sit in the middle nearer the front. This is probably one of the few times it's worth the extra money to sit in those premier seats, especially as they've reserved a large block of seats for premier seating. A great projection system with really high resolution and lovely sound - they demonstrate the system right at the start of the presentation. Another bonus is no adverts but only 2 trailers (I love trailers!) The foyer area was looking a bit grubby yesterday though and there were A4 size sheets of printed paper peeling off the walls yesterday. Hence one star off

When is the high street music retailer HMV not a high street music retailer? When it's a cinema!…read more Recent retail figures for the company have made grim reading and industry analysts speculate that this is their slowness in accepting that digital downloads are gradually taking over the marketplace and they've been slow in developing that side of the business. So, it was interesting to see HMV branch out into a completely different sector. The name gives the clue that they haven't gone into this blind but have teamed up with the Curzon cinema on Shaftesbury Avenue to offer a mixture of blockbusters but also more artsy world cinema offerings. For example, this week's offerings include the general release Bridesmaids to A Separation, an Iranian film and winner of the Golden Bear award at the Berlin international Film Festival. Don't be worried about the rather unprepossessing entrance - the cinema upstairs looks and feels quite boutique. With 3 screens and the largest one only seating around 100 customers, it has quite an exclusive feel to it. The bar is comfortable and a nice place to chill before or after your movie. Definitely worth a look if the large Odeon a few doors down doesn't have anything appealing. Or even if it does!

I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this cinema for a few months now, and boy, was it worth…read morethe wait!! A partnership between HMV and the Curzon cinema chain that is getting piloted in Wimbledon, lucky me!! It will be screening blockbusters alongside World cinema and even hosting Q&A sessions. It's too exciting, cos i normally have to go into central London for such film related goodness! First impressions, were pretty darn good! A stylish bar/cafe greets you on arrival, stocked with snacks and jack daniels. Other stuff too i expect. Customers are encouraged to buy tickets online and print them out in advance, as there is no box office there. But you can buy tickets from the bar area very easily also. There are 3 screens, with the largest one seating 103 people. They are colour-coded and today i was in the blue room. My god, the seats were amazingly comfortable! Lots of leg room too! Super friendly staff, who came in twice to let us know that the film would be starting in 15 minutes. And the visuals....W O W. Crystal clear! They are using state of the art digital projection, and it shows!!! Ticket prices are rather ace too. They start from as little as £4 if you are a member of the Curzons! Lucky me again! I went to see Fantastic Mr Fox, a stunning cinematic experience all round! Oh hmvcurzon. I am excited about our future!

After the magical Winter Night Garden run ended shortly after Christmas they have swapped the winter wardrobe and evergreens to an art deco cinema set with a red carpet. Since visiting in December they have definitely sorted out the heating however the comfy bean bags have remained, with a view from each seat as good as the next. My friend and I went to see the ever classic Clueless and had a fantastic evening reminiscing our school years.. As if! I'm certainly looking forward to seeing what they release next and would thoroughly recommend the experience.

After going along a little walkway, jumping into a soft play pit and then climbing out there was the cinema. Great fun.

Would be back again soon

Last night's was a Joaquin Phoenix double bill, showing Walk The Line followed by Two Lovers. While we ended up skipping the first film and just having dinner, the price is still very reasonable. We shared a lovely bottle of wine outside on the terrace (had to sit on the wall though as all the tables were full) with amazing views of the river and Hammersmith Bridge. Back inside for dinner, which we shared: a large mezze platter and some mushroom bruschetta, both of which were delicious and just enough. The cinema itself is what every cinema should be: small and dark, with the seats on an incline so everyone can see. They showed the previews and ads WAY before the start time (PERFECT!!), even drew the curtains in between the previews and the film itself (DRAMATIC!!). Riverside has much more to offer than just a restaurant and a cinema... it also shows stand-up comedy, has a fully functioning tv studio where they film live shows, a theatre for live music, and art exhibitions. A wonderful space with quality at every turn.

Sound quality seemed excellent. Matinee seats were not too expensive (£10) but I think in the evening you're close to West End prices. Some gripes: the snacks range. Popcorn not particularly fresh (it cannot be as it is in sealed bags). Giant bags of chocolate not readily available. On the plus side, there is delightful bar downstairs you can access without going outside. I saw the Hobbit here in 3D. No fault of the cinema, really, but I wouldn't see the next instalment in 3D. Due to the camera used in some of the scenes the lighting made it look more like a cheap BBC sitcom than a beautifully shot epic fantasty film. See the Qype User reviews for some fascinating information about the history of this building as a recording studio - a great shame it was shut down, and a pity it couldn't have been an awesome Stax-style museum, but the cinema conversion is certainly not a total tragedy.
