        I was one of the few who stuck it out until the end of the movie. Unfortunately, much of the movie was impossible to see due to the street lights. The good news is that an announcement was made at the end of the evening apolozing for the street light issue and promising that it would not be an issue in the future. Unfortunately, picture quality was not the only problem...much of the movie was difficult to hear. This was due to a combination of the sound level needing to be turned up, the rude people in the back of the crowd who were obviously there to visit with friends and not watch the movie, and the extremely noisy break-down of the wine/beer booth partway through the movie. I have been to Cinema on San Pedro Square in previous seasons and had a good experience. I will probably attend again this season in the hope that these major kinks will be worked out. My fingers are crossed!! Collapse
