Small group of loud, boorish, selfie taking patrons spoil the movie, with no-one on hand to help.
Reading Cinemas Epping的点评
点评:Saw the new Indiana Jones movie at Readings Epping last night. Nice big cinema, good quality screen. However the sound has too much bass which makes dialogue less than clear at times The other issue regarding sound were a group of 4 young viewers who chose to talk loudly during the entire movie. They were sitting a long way from us but they were talking to each other in full voice, frequently getting out of their seats to take selfies - basically behaving as if they were in a different environment such as a shopping centre or a cafe. This lack of consideration of other viewers was irritating and almost chilling in its complete lack of empathy. Obviously it spoiled our experience to some extent. We noted, as we entered that there was only one staff member on duty that we could see in the entire complex. This staff member was very young. Thus there was no one that we could have reported this inconsiderate behaviour too. We were on our own. I think, with the amount of competition cinemas have with most homes now having large screen TV's etc, that cinemas need to provide some sort of security staffing that patrons can report to in instances like this. It was a small audience in a large cinema but it is not hard to imagine that when there is a larger audience that this situation could easily escalate into something ugly. We really feel that we would be unlikely to watch a movie in this complex again, at least not in the near future.
