Watch Migration at Ster-Kinekor for a chance to win your own mini-migration to New York!
School’s out, workplaces are shutting down, ‘Jingle Bells’ is blasting through shopping centre sound systems, and the end of year festivities are taking centre stage. Yes, it’s starting to feel like that time of the year again…
But, to really get you into the holiday spirit, Ster-Kinekor is inviting you to leave real life at the door, and escape into our world of fun, fantasy and full-on entertainment. The fantastic list of film titles releasing on the big screen over the next few weeks is the only excuse you need to close the door on all the stresses and pressures of the past year and shut out the noise of everyday life as you enter the cinema and find yourself transported into another world.
It could be the magical, wacky world of Wonka – the perfect chocolate-filled festive recipe to savour on the biggest screen in the immersive IMAX cinema. Based on the extraordinary character at the centre of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today. Starring Timothée Chalamet as Wonka, Richard E Grant, Olivia Colman and Hugh Grant, it is directed by Paul King.
If all-out action and an adrenalin rush is what moves you, bookings are now open for the much-anticipated Godzilla Minus One. Post war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptised in the horrific power of the atomic bomb. Can the devastated people survive, let alone fight back? Enter the terrifying world of Godzilla making his presence felt in cinemas from 15 December.
Perhaps diving to the depths of aqua adventure to search of the Lost Kingdom is your idea of fantasy. In Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Aquaman (Jason Momoa) has to balance his duties as king and a member of the Justice League, all while planning a wedding. Follow the underwater adventures with Black Manta on the hunt for Atlantean tech to help rebuild his armour, as Orm plots to escape his Atlantean prison.
See it first, up close and in-your-face IMAX style, on 21 December, before the general release on 22 December. And, perfect your Aquaman-style pose with his Trident at the V&A Waterfront’s Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, uShaka Marine World in Durban and Mall of Africa in Midrand from 15 to 24 December, as you leave real life at the door and enter the Lost Kingdom.
If migrating to warmer – or colder – climates is your idea of getting away from it all, you could just find yourself winging away to your own adventure of a lifetime! Pre-book your movie tickets to see the delightful, animated movie Migration at your favourite Ster-Kinekor cinema from 22 December and follow a family of ducks who try to convince their overprotective father to go on the vacation of a lifetime. Your movie tickets could just win you plane tickets and an all-expenses paid trip for a family of four to the ‘Big Apple’ (New York) – for real!
If waltzing into a winter wonderland for a White Christmas is more your style of escaping everyday drudgery, join the celebrated ‘King of Waltz’ and his Johann Strauss Orchestra, singers and dancers for an unforgettable evening of magical music. Screening on 16 and 17 December only at select cinemas, Andre Rieu’s White Christmas is a perfect early Christmas present for all his fans! Get transported into André Rieu’s brand new Christmas concert – an unforgettable festive treat for the whole family – from the comfort of your cinema seat.
