I got there just after 6pm and they were telling people individually that the film would be starting at 7.30pm so I think a lot of people knew. We came in at about 7pm and noticed a lot of seats were filled, probably by the people they let straight up at 6.30pm.mupton wrote:yes, also caught in the delay. we were allowed up just after 6.30pm. told it was delayed. only told (because we asked) it would 7.30pm, at 7.15pm. But there were lots of latecomers who weren't waiting in the lobby. were some tipped off about the delay? or is it such a normal occurance at the odeon greenwich that everyone sets their clock by it?winitfamily wrote:grrr Greenwich Odeon. Arrived for film only too be told film has only just arrived and wont be shown till 7.30pm.
Good job We dont live too far away dont know if We will bother going out again later back too cinema.
Odeon Greenwich has a rubbish customer service. Considering we had to wait over an hour for the film to start (I'm sure it started closer to 7.40pm), we were not lucky enough to be offered vouchers or the opportunity to see an earlier starting film. It was Monday night and the cinema was dead anyway so we wouldn't have been taking precious seats for p*ying customers. They are just awful when it comes to responding to things like this.
As for the film, I can't say it was worth the wait at all unfortunately. A very dreary start, that barely picks up. The only highlight was watching the actor who played older Pip, but even his looks couldn't hold my interest for long. I don't know if it was because of the long wait but this felt like it dragged on way too long. Only 5/10 for me, I wouldn't rush to see it again.
