Great Cinema for quadriplegic

Searching for a good Edinburgh cinema venue to visit with quadriplegic father. From access to road to back of the IMAX (the screen we visited) no steps entirely one level and easy to access in a wheel chair. The screen slopes down from ground level to -1 (lower ground level) so is ideal for disabled access. See included photos of viewing place at the IMAX screen - wheelchair gets excellent view of the screen again with plenty of space to manoeuvre.

Disabled seating at the front, so close to the screen it hurts

There are one or two screens where this is not the case, but since the recent refurbishment, I have had the experience of using the screens where the front row is so close to the screen that I am looking up the way. By the end of the movie, my neck was in a lot of pain. The only solutions that I have found is to use a travel pillow to support my neck but it is still uncomfortable. If you are able to transfer into a seat in the front row, the seats do recline but my companions assure me that this isn’t comfortable either. The new look foyer and toilets are great though.

Progress?!

Overall the cinema offers completely step free access to all their screens. However, there a few screens where it is not possible to sit next to whoever you come with. Along with this wheelchair spaces are not well thought out in terms of being next to steps and leaving small amounts of manoeuvring room. There is one disabled toilet that is in the main hall and easy to get to. The other disabled toilet is inside the first door to the male bathrooms and isn’t easy for a solo wheelchair user to get into and isn’t ideal for female users.
