Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 235 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers expressed significant dissatisfaction with the customer service, describing it as unhelpful and difficult to access, often encountering issues with online AI and long waiting times for advisors. People also found the website to be problematic, with confusing pricing information and general usability issues that made booking and managing accounts frustrating. The service itself, including the overall cinema experience, was frequently criticized, with many feeling that the quality did not justify the cost. A major point of contention for consumers was the pricing, which many considered outrageously expensive for tickets, snacks, and merchandise, leading to a perception of being overcharged. Though some reviewers were happy with the staff, praising their attentiveness and helpfulness in specific locations, others reported unprofessional behavior and a lack of enthusiasm from employees.

DO NOT USE LIMITLESS!

IF YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED BY ODEON/MY LIMITLESS CANCEL YOUR DIRECT DEBIT OR CARD THEY USE TO COLLECT PAYMENT AND CALL YOU BANK TO CLAIM BACK ANY FUNDS TAKEN.

As mentioned below by others, it is absolutely impossible to cancel the My Limitless membership. You cannot just simply end the subscription via your account. You have to fill in a form online and request the cancellation. I’ve done this months ago and just received an email saying they are busy and will be in touch but they don’t get back to you and don’t reply even when you follow up. It’s all a scam to trap you into signing up then make it super difficult when you want to cancel.

Because they keep taking payments and my account was set up using my debit card I’ve had to cancel my card and request a new card.

The subscription is brilliant tho and can save you so much but because the cancellation process is a joke it’s something me and others won’t be using again.

Broken Merch

Horrendously expensive merchandise that was broken when we got home. No response regarding a replacement despite a complaint being submitted. Absolutely disgraceful considering we spent £110 on a single visit.

Seats were rubbish compared to Vue, screen wasn't as good either, and the sound didn't fill the room (my home surround actually feels better).

The staff were absolutely fantastic and extremely attentive, you couldn't fault them at all for their approach. Really must be keeping the business alive because the product itself is poor for the extortionate pricing.

Awful experience

Awful experience. Did they test this site at all before releasing it. I want to book seats for a film in five days and can't see what they have showing.

myLIMITLESS

I can only write of my own experiences, which are all good. I left the main competitors unlimited subscription due to a very bad experience. In November I joined Odeon myLIMITLESS, and I’m so pleased that I did. The cinemas are warm. The luxe seating is so comfortable and convenient with tables for snacks. The app works well for booking. Above all every member of staff I’ve met has been polite, respectful, informative and clean the cinemas with enthusiasm after screenings finish.

Poor customer service

The film was stopped halfway through due to a power cut and we were asked to vacate the building. Not been able to get through to customer service at all for refund. Appalling service. Very disappointing. Have paid for a service that has not been delivered.

Very disappointing experience.

Very disappointing experience.
We were 4 adults and 3 children (ages 3, 5, and 8) and were charged full adult prices for the kids. We queued for about 15 minutes, and the staff member serving us was inexperienced, which caused more delays.

After finally getting in, we were stopped because we didn’t have 3D glasses. We were never offered them at the counter and were told we had to go back and queue again for another 10–15 minutes. As a result, we missed part of the movie.

Poor organisation and lack of basic communication. I’ve been to this Odeon many times and have never had such a bad experience, especially with young children. Not acceptable.

Customer Service Never Helps

I had issues with the website when trying to book with my card and I went and paid for a 20 pounds Gift Card since in theory it should work, once I paid and got the gift card I tried to use it.
And again failed to pay for my booking, I even tried to go at Odeon, paid for Uber and everything just to find out that I have to email them the issue and when I emailed them they said they cant help me .. if this is not a Scam I dont know what is... they told me to call customer service when I told them I cant call they kept replying with the same message and I felt aggression .. like its my fault their system is broken.

Diabolical

Diabolical. Booked & paid for £100 of tickets for this Friday at 3.20pm. Went to book an extra seat and site says the film is not showing!! Next day go to complain and discover there is no phone number.. you have you talk to a bot.. which is useless and sends me round in circles. Later that day, the site updates and there IS a showing at 2.20pm.. still nothing at 3.20. What do you do? Turn up at 2.20 or 3.30? Or just cancel? Turns out you can’t cancel, as there is literally no way to contact them. I’ve never been so frustrated with a company in my life. Don’t book with them.. try any other cinema..ps the others are half the price too

Odeon Epsom

Odeon Epsom
I went to watch Avatar with my family and went into cinema 3.
We sat down and immediately noticed how cold it was. I told one of your staff that it was way too cold and they said they would look into it.
Nothing was done about it and it was the most unpleasant experience I have had in a theatre. I could not enjoy the movie my kids and wife were complaining through the whole movie. It is impossible to watch a 3hr movie at that temperature. My toes and everything not covered was frozen. It was warmer outside when we left.
You guys need to at least have it at room temperature as this has to go against the health and safety of the people attending.
I am going to bring a thermometer next time so I can record the temperatures and report this.
Thank you for your time

AI chat isn’t helpful and goes around…

AI chat isn’t helpful and goes around asking same questions for 10 min. Once finally transferred to an advisor, the waiting time is a mistery and there’s no way to get any assistance. The gift card doesn’t work when purchase and wrongly showing that there’s no money left. Unprofessional and distasteful customer service. Still waiting to receive my money back that was to be put on the gift card..

So unimpressed with our visit to watch…

So unimpressed with our visit to watch the new Avatar film at Odeon Trafford. Paid over £50 for two cinema tickets only to find other people sat in our seats. The seats we ended up sitting in had a broken table and the other did not recline. Emailed customer services regarding this only to be told that they pass the feedback on?? This is poor customer service as we have paid for a service and the experience has not fulfilled this. We didn't complain to the staff at the time because the cinema was busy and the lights had gone out for the trailers. Will not visit here again or recommend to anyone.

Do not sign up for MyLimitless whatever you do

Terrible company! Their chatbot is useless and crashes after a simple request (hire workers to better fix this issue and ditch AI) and as a result it is so unnecessarily hard to cancel a MyLimitless subscription. No phone number to speak of either, so it would seem they don’t value the human input into their company; quite ironic when they show human-crafted motion pictures and cater to humans! So little people find the FAQs area of their website useful and that says quite a lot! Get it sorted out.

Joined up for the limitless membership…

Joined up for the limitless membership but the app doesnt work - it says i have bookings where I do not. I cannot book any more films as says i have reached my max - they do not offer a phone line to call, the chat bot boots you out before you reach the end of the queue and it says it takes 10 days to reply to messages online. I want to cancel but also no way to do this online either!

Truly awful customer support

Truly awful customer support. I tried to book tickets using my myLimitless account on the app. It failed and would not allow me to book again because it said I already had a booking. Then I tried to book again on their website and paid full price for my ticket. The seat was reserved and the money was taken from my credit card - but again I was not issued a ticket. When I tried to access the online customer support the AI was useless. Then it put me in a queue where the number of people in front of me would go down and then up again. This repeated for 2 hours. It is not possible to speak to a person on the phone. So what are you supposed to do? There is no customer complaint line either. The Odeon is not cheap - they need to do better.
