Same thing happened to me at a preview session of "Warrior", a couple of weeks back, in either the last or second-last reel. Hey if they said you can get a refund in the first 30 min then I'd say you got lucky they even give refunds. Yeah they shouldn't, that's sort of like eating an entire bad meal at a restaurant and saying you didn't enjoy it then asking for a refund. It was M rated and a 9pm session, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem.I was very wrong. At the end of the day, where does it stop? All the employees can do is provide patrons with a general idea of what the movie is about and give their subjective opinion of their thoughts of the movie if they've seen it. If I really hate a movie I just use the time to catch up on sleep.. Knowing.. Chain reaction.. Avatar.. debit or credit card). I had to be obvious because some people don't seem to get it... And you wouldnt be the manager for long with that attitude. So I left the movie and got a refund. Yeah, I think people are too easily lured in by having a great actor appear in a movie that looks to be terrible (I personally don't think Pacino has made a quality movie in ages; Jack and Jill? whrl.pl/Rb2BfV. No, us neither. Not many movies go past the rating of 7 in FilmAffinity. If cinemas keep agreeing to show ordinary movies they have to take some responsibility. you pay $19 now for an adult movie ticket so you would expect it to be a decent movie and not adding if you want to buy something from the candy bar...so if you want a refund for a movie they should give it to you for the money you are spending there. I'd love to see someone try to get a refund on the $10 DVD they bought at JB because they didn't like the movie. What other reasons might there be for people to get refunds on their cinema tickets? If you thought that most recent post of mine was genuine, your sneer is really getting in the way of your eyesight. So in that case, the patron should really be asking for a refund from the filmmakers, since they are the ones making the movie! This, I mean its not the cinemas fault if the movie is shit. I seriously considered asking for a refund, for the trauma of being made to sit through the film, in the dark, all alone. When I saw" the happening" at a cinema and realised an hour in that it was in fact the worst movie i'd seen in my life (worse than look whose talking) I thought about asking for a refund but I didn't want to be *that* guy. If they even try they get sued into oblivion by the publishers. I was watching it with the EX waiting for some kind of storyline to happen but after 2 hours I was like "what the hell", No story whatsoever, heck I would have raver watched my mates play single player in black ops because at least that has story's in cut scenes. After about 50 mins we gave up and walked out. Some movies go straight to DVD and don't make it to the big screen at all. I was indifferent to 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' but was with a mate and his little sister so wasn't really that phased. Film distributors are often sneaky about the marketing for foreign language movies, sometimes even keeping trailers dialogue-free so that audiences won’t realise what they’re in for until after they’ve paid for a ticket. Apparently not as many people abused it as you might expect :). Why should they pay for the fact you chose a movie you didn't enjoy? I don't really see why the cinema should refund you just because you thought the movie was crap. This was at village cinemas, and according to the manager, you can only get a refund within the first 30 minutes of it starting. Haven't you ever had a personal opinion on a movie that went against the popular grain? it's no more a miracle than eating food and taking a poo – the real miracle is raising a child that doesn't talk in a movie theatre". Talkies aren’t a new invention. Because the film wasn’t what they expected.
