Sorry to hear that funthing, and that is not good raj. Oh dear rawr.
Complain everyone! Ask them to show it again, and at a decent size screening.

Im going to be complaining purely because of the heating in there, I had to go out cause I almost fainted in my seat :/
Not that I cared, mind you, the film wasnmt exactly riveting!
All Ill say is who ever said "This film blew me away from its opening shot" on the poster, clearly should have gone to specsavers.
2/10
Can't add to what people have already said really^

It was practically tv size from the back of the room!

Very dissappointed, I wont be booking for Wimbledon free screenings in the future if that what we get.
I guess you didn't see INception at the Empire Leic Sq, in the smallest screen ever :evil:
preferred locations Shepherds Bush, Westfield, Notting Hill, Central London, Wimbledon, Islington, Wandsworth thanks

poor you, but I did have the displeasure of b*ying a ticket for that Empire screen and immediately getting a refund. never again for that tiny screen.

Though my complaint about Take Shalter is actually very petulant, at least the others had a point to their complaints, I dont mind admitting I was being a bit petty for mine. Tbf, I only left the house because I thought it was in the big screen 11.

Saw this last night in Milton Keynes. Had high hopes, but dozed off twice, if I had been sitting at the end of a row, I would have left.

4 people did leave half way through the film.

Everyone very quiet when they left the screening.

Shame to hear about the poor experience at Vue Islington.
I wish they do more screenings at Vue West End, they seem to be doing alot less there nowadays
