First New Zealand Review Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Gary Holden sent in his thoughts about the recent Movie release in New Zealand.
Like Australia, there has been a lack of advertisement for the movie. Only since the movie has opened have there been any TV ads, which only screen in the morning.

The movie is running around four times a day in Wellington, but in one of the smaller theatre rooms. I took some friends of mine to a showing around 4:30 pm. Even though it was early in the afternoon on a weekday, there was quite a large crowd, roughly 30-odd people in a 50 seater room. The large majority of the crowd really liked the movie, even a few liked how the Kilrathi looked. People were also a bit disappointed with the lack of screen time they were given.

I was lucky to see the movie in the US when it first came out. When visually comparing it to the screening in New Zealand, the New Zealand showing was a lot lighter than the US, which is how it would look on the DVD I'm guessing.

May Go Straight to VHS in Netherlands Share on Bluesky Share on Facebook Share on Twitter

Michiel Boterenbrood sent us the following in reply to our recent report of a Wing Commander poster in a Netherlands theater.
In the local cinema in my town (Heerlen), the poster of WC has been removed from the wall. It was there for about three months. I know the employees of that cinema quite well, so I asked them for a release date. Last thing they heard was that the movie isn't going to be released in cinemas in the Netherlands. It's going straight to VHS.
Even if the movie doesn't come to a theater near you, having the VHS as an option is better than nothing (as is the case in some places).
