Beware - you may get more than you asked for in your popcorn, 17 May 2015***Spoiler Free***
I was so looking forward to viewing this sequel and keeping a beady eye out for the rumoured cameos of Gibson and Turner, that I decided to attend the cinema's restroom to spruce myself up for the projection.
Whilst in there I was joined by a gentleman in staff attire who proceeded to relieve himself and then leave without washing his hands!
I left the restroom and was appalled to see this same gentleman peering out of the catering booth! He was in the process of making food for the patrons - using those same unwashed hands.
I then asked an usher for the manager. A lady presented herself as the person in charge. I told her about my observation; she then refereed me to the head caterer (the man himself!) He in turn got upset with me and blamed it all on his wife having an affair with the woman next door.
I then joined my party in the cinema and would have enjoyed the film a lot more if the noise level was not deafening. Sitting with friends trying to have a conversation was impossible. For me, going to a cinema is a social activity, so not being able to talk to anyone is not a pleasant experience.
As for the rest of the cinema -
Worn seats - nothing can be done according to front desk.
Décor was old and dated; patch work in walls
Very poor lighting - one could have fell negotiating the aisles
Noisy carts in hallways as umbrellas and hats were conveyed back and forth
Mobile phone wouldn't work in cinema
Bar poorly stocked at a glance
No beck and call usher service after film began
