Food
A great cinema. This is a real local jewel. The food is well worth a visit on its own. They also run a great coffee bar if you’re just passing during the day. They consistently have great well thought films on show and without the crazy prices of the big chain cinemas. Plus the atmosphere is better.

Decent measures in place for C19, although the temperature check was rather abrupt and aggressive, they came at me with the digital thermometer out of nowhere and were standing way too close. Also the temp check is after ticketing, so what would happen if you are feverish? Seems like a way to make more admin work trying to get a refund etc. Cinema snacks are quite tasty and not overpriced. Cocktails are also very good, decent strength and average price for a \trendy\ East end spot. The screens are way too cold, I had to put my coat back on halfway through the film. The toilets were in need of a round of cleaning.
This place has been a favourite of mine for years. The cinema is well kept and I appreciate that they even run events related to film / culture to try and build a community. It's independent and definitely feels unique. Makes for a more special experience than going to just another Vue. Have always enjoyed the Studio 4/5 screenings, with the sofa and blankets and foot rests. Not many places do a \luxury\ cinema experience like that. The tickets at Genesis are pretty cheap most of the time as a student, usually 7 or so. I really appreciate that! However, the food there is insanely expensive, and they have a security guard confiscate \outside\ food from you even if it's just a bag of popcorn. I get that they need to make sales to stay open but from the customer's perspective it's a bit annoying. One thing that did impress me when I went to go see Tenet most recently, was overhearing some of the staff talking about the film and hearing that they had a passion m for films. I got the impression that, had I just gone in and asked what they would recommend that I watch, they would make an adequate suggestion. Overall, if you live nearby I'd encourage you to keep supporting Genesis as our local cinema.
The cinema is great, with huge comfortable double sofa seats. However, they need to sort out the food and drink situation, as there are 3 places downstairs and upstairs to get food from, but it's not clear what you you can get where, so you end up having to go up and downstairs if two of you fancy different things. Bizarre.
This is very hard review to write as since I stepped in yesterday I Loved the Cinema! The food, the drinks, the atmosphere everything very good. BUT unfortunately we came to watch a movie and that was very unfortunate we watched tenet in screen 1 which I thought will amazing but the sounds was terrible! You bearly hear anything in the back as I think the speakers are just on the front. So for me I lost many parts of the talking. I dont know if it is in all the screens but definitely avoid that one!
