At least it means the screening is going ahead. For obvious reasons a lot of cinemas have been closing early

in severeal of the pre-quel films, the apes talk. i guess you can criticise apes evolving speech before they evolved the vocal chords structure necessary to speak, but hey that would spoil a decent film element.
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?

Some people with tickets received this email, some people didn't. There really is no point posting this on Free Films, making everyone think that the screening is cancelled.

It is going ahead - there were two codes posted on that page. One with "Planet" and one with "rise". The "Planet" code is legit - that's from Shortlist. The "rise" one was the test code.

So, the movie's obviously going to be oversubscribed. If ShowFilmFirst are smart about this, they'll keep a list of the legitimate invitees and only let them into the Apollo. In my opinion, honesty is the best policy so if you used the "Planet" code, you have a right to be there. If not, please don't deprive the others.

I am guessing there are people who haven't got a clue anymore which code they used but as long as they didn't get the email they should be fine.

And what if people don't even remember which code was used as both codes have been posted on other forums too. :confused: Besides anyone who's been to previous SFF screenings, know they're not very organised especially the ushers responsible for the screening.
