Great films and fun activities at ster-kinekor to keep the whole family entertained this holiday

JOHANNESBURG –   With three great films releasing over the next two weeks, Home, Cinderella and the action thriller Fast & Furious 7,  and interactive activities planned at select cinemas, Ster-Kinekor is making sure that great holiday moments spent with the family really do matter.

So, whether you’re into fairy tales and dreams coming true, or animated aliens looking for home, or you’ve fastened your seatbelt for the ride of your life, we suggest you gather the family and head on down to your nearest Ster-Kinekor cinema. The fun awaits!

The delightful animated film, Home, released on the big screen on Friday, March 27 and is especially for the younger audiences. Adding to the magic of the film, the cinema foyers at certain Ster-Kinekor cinemas will be transformed into a carnival of colour and activity over the Easter weekend, with face painters, jugglers, bubble machines, tasty treats, prizes and so much more.

Take the youngsters down to Ster-Kinekor cinemas at Brooklyn and The Grove in Pretoria, and Cresta and The Zone in Johannesburg, to join in all the excitement from April 3 to April 6.

Disney’s Cinderella is a beautiful fairytale. Some of the cinemas will be transformed into a fairyland over the Easter weekend, and we hope the seats will be filled with little princesses coming to watch this magical film. Follow the fairy lights to the big screens at Ster-Kinekor cinemas at Brooklyn in Pretoria and The Zone, Sandton and Cradlestone Mall in Johannesburg and, on Thursday, April 2, the palace’s footmen will welcome you to the land of Cinderella.

But, if it’s fast and furious action you’re after, Ster-Kinekor has that covered too – and is even providing the seatbelts! Ster-Kinekor’s luxurious Cine Prestige and immersive IMAX® theatres are the place to be to catch the much-anticipated release of the final film in the Fast franchise, Fast & Furious 7. Special pre-screenings take place on April 1, and the film’s national release is on Thursday, April 2.

HOME is the latest offering from Dreamworks Animation (The Croods, How to Train Your Dragon). Directed by Tim Johnson, the film features an array of well-known voices including the likes of Rihanna, Jim Parsons, funnyman Steve Martin, Jennifer Lopez and Matt Jones.

After an overly-optimistic, yet inept alien race called the Boov led by Captain Smek (Steve Martin) invades earth to make it their new home and to hide from their mortal enemies, a resourceful human girl named Gratuity ‘Tip’ Tucci (voiced by Rihanna) avoids capture and embarks on the road trip of a lifetime with a banished Boov named Oh (voiced by Jim Parsons), who accidentally notifies the enemies of their whereabouts.

Through their unlikely friendship, and a series of comic adventures with Tip and her pet cat named Pig, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human. And, while he changes her planet and she changes his world, together they discover the true meaning of the word HOME.
