⚠ This venue has closed (2022). ODEON's own page states the cinema closed for the final time due to redevelopment of the Leisure World complex, with the last screening in late February 2022.
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, so a 2021 label is a 2021 state rather than a current one. Treat the score as indicative.
