Ster-Kinekor Southgate Mall way below standard

<p>On the 5 August 8pm I watched the premier of Suicide Squad at IMAX 3D at Eastgate Ster Kinekor. I really enjoyed the experience at Eastgate. Sound, lighting... Awesome. Eastgate movies in general always a good experience irrespective of 2D 3D or IMAX.</p> <p> </p> <p>but...</p> <p> </p> <p>On the 6th August 11.45am with Suicide Squad fresh in my mind i decided to watch it again. Against my better judgement i went to Southgate Mall to watch it in 3D because that Ster Kinekor is the closest for me. I stay in Johannesburg South. I watch all my movies at Ster Kinekor since the experience is usually quality and value for money. On this case unfortunately... firstly, i missed the first 12 to 15 minutes due to standing in that refreshment queue for around 25 minutes. Then finally getting to the movie, the screen lighting was dark. It was difficult to make out certain parts of the movie. I watched it the previous day so i knew what i should be seeing. For those who watched it for the first time I sympathise because Southgate ruined the premier for them whether they realise it or not.</p> <p> </p> <p>I am disappointed. It was a waste of money and won't be watching a movie there again. Do not say that you can't compare IMAX and normal 3D. I've watched several 3D movies at other Ster Kinekor cinemas. Southgate 3D quality is definitely not up to standard.</p> <p> </p> <p>I contacted the manager at the cinema. To my irritation she was clueless. She said you can't compare IMAX and normal 3D. Nonetheless, all she did was apologise. I expect some compensation for this. R72 for a below standard quality isn't acceptable.</p>
