The very increasing disappointment of Ster-Kinekor

My Honest opinion as a filmmaker why Ster-Kinekor isn't thriving anymore but instead it's dying and my childhood nostalgia and loyalty is fading and instead growing for Nu-Metro again. I don't know I'm constantly giving Ster-Kinekor the benefit of the doubt just to be let down by disservice of bad sound or a contrasty picture or even 3D that doesn't work. Throw back to wen Black Panther Wakada forever was released a friend of mine and I went as Marvel fans to watch it at Kolonnade just to be disappointed with 3D not working and re-watching the opening of the film until the marvel logo sting ran three times after still not being resolved and we ending up leaving asking for a refund. Kolonades Ster-Kinekors' service went down the drain that's why it closed. Throwback to 2015 with Mad max fury road we had a very contrasty picture also with complaints. There were also the occasional sound being too soft at times. All of this just building up helping a review coming a long time now. After covid things took a dive in service at Ster-Kinekor. The year was 2022 watching The Batman at Ster-Kinekor George again sound issues and it sounded like a mouse playing with something inside the back speaker, after complaining no resolve. Getting closer to what the breaking point for was this year but first lest go to my favourite Ster-Kinekor and with IMAX mind you is the buzzling The Grove Mall. Last year a good friend and I went to watch Bad boys ride or die and I just wanted to die that's how bad the sound was, it was soft again and I could have easily had a better surround experience at home with my home surround sound system. Getting to te release of Gladiator II at IMAX and o boy I couldn't wait, just to be disappointed with soft sound at IMAX which made me laughed so hard when the IMAX of shattering sound advert came on. Getting to 2025 - Went to watch Thunderbolts a week ago also at the grove Mall and what have you sound was also poor and had to get up to go and complain to staff. They assured me it will be resolved asap and still had to sit though a terrible experience of poor sound quality. I have good quality video clips as effidence which I'll be submitting with my story to Media 24 as I have contacts there and I'm now fed up of poor service from Ster-Kinekor ruining the movie goer's experience.
