Is anyone able to confirm the aspect ratio of the screens ?

Are they indeed all 1.85 ‘Flat’ as reported or are there some ‘Scope screens in the larger auditoria ?

I hope that is not the case at the brand new Cineworld, Watford 9-screen cinema due to open on 14th December 2018, albeit I’m mainly interested in the ‘new IMAX with Laser’ screen.

I have been told by one of the managers there that all 8 screens are ‘Flat’ necessitating that Scope films are shown ‘letterboxed’ with black bars top and bottom. The photos on here back that up.

This seems to be a common trend for recently built Cineworlds. They seem to have lost interest in showing Scope films properly. With 80%+ of movies nowadays filmed in Scope this does seem rather a strange decision. Cineworld top management don’t seem fussed; perhaps they are not moviegoers themselves. Their cinema experience is like watching a big TV set.
