ODEON Liverpool ONE: everything you need to know (IMAX, Dolby, D-BOX, prices & parking)

Odeon Liverpool One

If you’re planning a big-screen night out, ODEON Liverpool ONE puts the city’s best formats—IMAX, Dolby Cinema, D-BOX motion seats and RealD 3D—all under one roof (plus Costa and Ben & Jerry’s for treats). The cinema sits on the terrace along Paradise Street inside the Liverpool ONE complex and offers premium “The Gallery” seating with a private bar and unlimited snacks for an elevated night out.

Quick facts (at a glance)

  • Screens & formats: 14 screens including IMAX (Screen 12) and Dolby Cinema (Screen 11); designated wheelchair spaces in every screen.

  • Special seats/experiences: D-BOX motion seats, RealD 3D, The Gallery VIP lounge with unlimited popcorn, nachos and soft drinks.

  • Where it is: Entrance on the Paradise Street terrace at Liverpool ONE.

  • Opening times (venue): Typically Mon–Thu 12:00–21:30, Fri 12:00–22:00, Sat 10:00–22:00, Sun 10:00–21:30 (film times vary by day).

Formats & best seats: IMAX, Dolby Cinema, D-BOX

  • IMAX (Screen 12): Huge image, immersive geometry and punchy sound—ideal for spectacle-heavy blockbusters. Wheelchair spaces available (rear and front rows depending on level).

  • Dolby Cinema (Screen 11): Dolby Vision contrast + Dolby Atmos for precise, dimensional sound—brilliant for dark, detail-driven films. Wheelchair spaces available at the rear.

  • D-BOX motion seats: Synced motion (pitch, roll, heave, vibration) for selected films—great for action titles.

Seat-picking tip: for IMAX, go central and a little higher than mid-row to fill your field of view without neck tilt; for Dolby, aim for the acoustic “sweet spot”—roughly middle-middle. (Exact preferences vary by title and screen.)

Opening times & showtimes

Venue hours (doors, concessions, bar) usually follow: Mon–Thu 12:00–21:30; Fri 12:00–22:00; Sat 10:00–22:00; Sun 10:00–21:30. Showtimes change daily—book online/app for the latest listings.

How early to arrive? ODEON says ads + trailers typically run 15–25 minutes before the feature (can vary)—so arriving for the scheduled start time is safe.
