Located in the southeast London district of Greenwich. Opened on 29th June 2007, this Vue cinema is located within the Millenium Dome (now known as The O2). It doesn’t occupy the whole building as there are two performance spaces, one of which, the O2 Arena, has a seating capacity of 23,000 and there are shops as well!
The largest of the eleven screens has a seating capacity of 776, of which 220 of these are ‘Gold Class’ and are located in a mezzanine at the rear of the auditorium. This screen is equipped to screen digital presentations and has what is claimed to be the largest screen in London, which is 24.4m wide(just over 80feet).
Other screens in the cinema have a seating capacity ranging from 186 to 298, giving a total capacity of 2,844. Facilities include a fully licenced bar and Green Room. It was taken over by Cineworld in June 2010. On 14th August 2018 a 204-seat ScreenX was installed, giving a 270 degrees viewing experience on the side-walls. On 12th April 2019, an additional eight screens opened, increasing the number of screens to 19, with a total seating capacity of 4,406.

I assume Screen 16 is the one marked Screen 8 on the planning application, as that is the largest of the new auditoria.
The screen width for that auditorium, measured off plans, is ~18m (~60ft.) Seating distance to screen width ratio varies from, somewhat roughly, 0.35 to 1.35x (first to last rows.)
So, it sounds like it could provide a good experience.
Zappomatic: How did you find the picture/sound? I expect laser projection will have been installed, but presumably, not Atmos?
Picture quality was very good however the red LEDs on the stair edges unfortunately cast a glow at two points on the screen. Seating is steeply rake and the ceiling sloped. I found row H provided a good viewing position. Sound is not Atmos – I would describe it as clear and competent but perhaps lacking impact for such a large and immersive screen. It’s a shame Atmos wasn’t installed in here as an alternative to the flawed acoustics of the Superscreen
Thank you Zappomatic. Too bad there are some rough edges that you mention, and Atmos really should have been specified.
According to a press release titled “Christie RealLaser Helps Cineworld Eastbourne Become Europe’s First All-RGB Laser Cineplex,” the Superscreen has been upgraded to Christie RGB laser projection.
Added a photo of screen 12, which is part of the expansion. Surrounds are by QSC.
Zappomatic: Thanks for the photos. How is the picture and sound quality in Screen 12?
Screen 12 provided similarly strong picture and sound to screen 16, and also suffers from a red glow on the screen from the stair lighting.
how is cineworld compared to odeon?

Visited today to see Blue Beetle in the super screen. Have to say I enjoyed the movie and the quality of the presentation. Picture bright and clear on the large screen. Though they were only using 1 or the 2 projectors in the booth. I’d had thought on a screen that size 2 would be better. The Dolby Atmos sound sounded really good. I’ve read a lot of negatives about it at the O2, but it was really effective in this film and sound movement was clear and I was sat in the balcony. They do need to work on the signage around the cinema as the way I to the balcony wasn’t clear. I also think Cineworld needs to start installing more luxuries seats.
