It's Prestige time!

Years ago I mentioned to my friends that Ster Kinekor or Nu Metro (cinemas) should install 2 rows of reclining chairs at the back of the cinema house and charge a premium for it.
I would pay extra for some added comfort in a movie house!

As with all my other brilliant ideas, I spoke about it and promptly forgot about it.

Fast forward to 2014 and Ster Kinekor now have the Cine Prestige. (I should have given them the idea and claimed free movies for a lifetime)

Tickets are quite pricey, but it is worth trying the experience at least once.

Your waiting area is a chic bar and comfortable couches and tub chairs.
The menu choices consist of delicious choices like Red Velvet cake, Meat and snack platters, Nachos and an assortment of drinks - all served on actual crockery.
Your order is taken at your couch and captured by friendly staff using an iPad and then delivered to your chair inside the cinema (your little side table even has a light).

I was intrigued by the walkway into the cinema, it felt like I was boarding a spaceship. I love the neon purple light!


All Aboard!
As we sank into the comfort of our chairs, I realised that this would not be the last time I visited Cine Prestige.
The cup-holder even has a cooling function to keep drinks cold!

Reclining in Comfort
We watched Begin Again with Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo & Adam Levine and I was able to snuggle up to T and even lie on his shoulder while watching the movie.

Smile - you're Prestigious!

This really was a fun experience, I really recommend you spoil yourself for date night and pay Cine Prestige a visit.

I would recommend that you make sure your toes look pretty - when the seats are back, your feet are up in the air for everyone to see!

PS: The movie is definitely worth a watch - I was so impressed with Kiera Knightley's singing - her voice is beautiful.
