Catch a film at Odeon Cinema Blanchardstown Centre

Staying in a hotel usually means you’ve got a busy night ahead, showering, make up, getting ready then out to dinner and dancing! However, at Crowne Plaza we want you to relax and refresh during your stay! 

The Odeon cinema Blanchardstown is an excellent evening activity for guests staying in the Crowne Plaza hotel. The theatre is just a short seven minute walk from the front door of the hotel, within the Blanchardstown shopping centre.

Since opening their doors in 2012, the Odeon has taken over as the best cinema screens in Ireland. This happened in a very short period of time, and their Blanchardstown cinema venue is no different. The great snacks, ideal screening times and comfy seats has people coming back to the venue regularly. 

The shopping centre premises offers a unique cinema experience in Dublin 15, with a passion for film deep rooted in everything that is on offer.  

  • iSense: The pinnacle of cinema experience with high-quality sound and picture.
  • IMAX: Larger-than-life screens with powerful surround sound.
  • RealD 3D: Immerse yourself in eye-popping 3D cinematography.

iSense

The newest addition to the Odeon, iSense is the pinnacle of cinema experience. Specifically designed to offer the highest-quality sound and picture in Ireland. This is exactly how the director imagined the film. 

The cinema has installed even larger screens and paired these with a 4K projector! This beams the most clear, details and incredibly real display you have ever seen. You’ll find a selection of movies shown in the iSense screens each month. 

IMAX

Available in many cinemas around the world, IMAX is only available in a select number of Irish cinemas. The screens have to be seen to be believed, stretching from floor to ceiling and wall to wall! 

The audio will encapsulate every part of the film. There are dozens of powerful speakers all around the theatre, even above you! 

REAL 3D

Take in every aspect of the film with eye popping 3D cinematography. Realistic scenes escape the confines of the screen to your seat and dance around the venue. Odeon cinema Blanchardstown has digital RealD technology that ensure you experience the film you came to see in real life. 

Once you enter the theatre, pop on your 3D glasses after the movie trailers for the lastest film releases are over. They fit over prescription glasses, and are quite comfortable to wear. 

Each screen has some different seating options, starting with the standard selection. Your regular seat will have a nice cushion top, and a soft bounce to it. You’ll have a cup holder in front of you, and the one on the right is for you. Movie manners matter, like a set table your cup would be on the right. 

At iSense in Odeon – Blanchardstown all seats are plush recliner chairs. You’ll have a table to stack all of your savage snacks on, and you’ll feel the vibrations of sound through the chair. 

The IMAX experience in Odeon also offers recliner seats, albeit a slightly smaller version of the iSense chairs. You’ll still have a a table for your snacks, but again this is slightly smaller. 

All other cinema screens in Blanchardstown have the choice of premier seats. There are a larger style to the standard seats. All have a headrest and are upholstered in leather, a real slick upgrade to enjoy a blockbuster film. 

Odeon – Blanchardstown prides itself on offering a full night out! From dinner to drinks and finally entertainment. In the Blanchardstown shopping center, you will find some incredible restaurants, or our own Forchetta restaurant in the Hotel.

You can dine in the cinema too. With a range of American theatre style snacks on the menu. Choose from hot dogs to chicken tenders, or load up on cheesy nachos. 

Of course, you can order the salty popcorn or sweet style. Why not have a mix of both? Do as the Irish do and pour in some peanut M&Ms!

Autism Friendly

It’s no secret, the cinema can be very over-stimulating for guests with autism, sensory difficulties or learning difficulties. On a Sunday morning each month, they show a special screening which they keep the house lights on.

The audio track is set to a lower volume and there are no movie trailers or adverts before the screening. Instead of the ads, the screen is still opened at the same time, but the guests can use this to get used to the area. 

Sight Loss

Audio description is available for movies that the service has been created for. At the cinema, you can ask for a pair of lightweight headphones that allow you to hear the narrator describe the scenes, and body language of the actors.

Movies that are shown in RealD 3D screens will also have a 2D showing each day. This is to allow people with sight loss issues to get the full movie experience. 

Hearing Loss

Odeon cinema offers two options to help those with hearing loss have a fun experience. Some films have open captions, and these help those hard of hearing to enjoy the show. 

All screens have a hearing loop system available, and there is an infra-red system offered in all theatres. 

Restricted Mobility

There is no step access to almost all screens, and wheelchair-friendly screenings are shown in every screen. You can click the ‘Wheelchair friendly’ icon when searching for cinema times at the odeon.
