ODEON Kingston IMAX
London · United KingdomSize confirmed ×2
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this IMAX room D, 46/100 — a small room carrying a premium badge — it fails the large-format premise on size, whatever the projector, 110 m² of lit picture. The projector rests on a dated source, so the score is indicative. Data read 21 September 2026.
Large IMAX digital (Screen 2) at the Rotunda Kingston since November 2010, given a 2025 visual and acoustic IMAX refresh and now marketed as IMAX with Laser.
IMAX in name. Weigh it against the surcharge.

The projector here comes from a 2021 industry listing that we haven't been able to re-confirm. IMAX has converted a lot of screens to laser since — where we could check, 100 venues listed as xenon had been upgraded. Treat the score as indicative.
⚠ LIEMAX — at 15.2m wide this is in the smallest tenth of IMAX screens worldwide (the median is 20 m), showing a 1.90 frame. Good projection can't buy back screen size.
