Ok guys, Transformers 2 and Terminator 4 are coming out in June. I recently went to Cineworld in leicester square and was quite impressed with the seating and sound. Can anyone suggest something better? I was looking at BFI London IMAX Cinema - thoughts?

I think you mean digital, not HD. There's quite a few cinemas with DLP projectors now:

I'm not sure if there's even better technology now though, and then there's the question of the sound as well which is usually my main gripe in cinemas.
Are films in cinemas not shown directly off the filmreel? Meaning they are shown higher than HD? Could be horribly wrong here though
Correct. Projected 35mm film holds far more detail than a 1080p Blu-Ray transfer.
EDIT: Some cinemas do 4K digital, which is near film "resolution".

even if HD isn't better than cinema, would rather be at home tbh.
- no parking, lines, crappy seats, noisy neighbours, cell phones
- can smoke, drink, fart, pause etc... at home and the quality is good enough on my set-up
I only consider going to cinema if there is something epic like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings

This is a very pleasant cinema: http://www.electriccinema.co.uk/
Not necessarily the best technically for action blockbusters though.

According to Wikipedia, Empire Leicester Square's main screen has a 56000 watt THX sound system. Maybe that'll blow you away?
