This happened recently for the screening of The Matrix for its 25th anniversary.
My partner had never seen it, and sure enough they spent almost ten minutes spoiling it with a pointless featurette featuring some unknown new star reminiscing about the movie.
My partner closed her eyes and I held her ears.
- pixelmonkey 2y agoSame thing happened to me. I had seen The Matrix countless times, but this was going to be my first rewatch in a few years and my first rewatch ever in theaters. Part of the reason I was going was to get that awesome feeling you get when seeing a perfectly-crafted scene "for the first time" on the big screen. That featurette was so silly. They just went scene by scene showing 5 seconds each of iconic scenes from the movie. Right before the actual movie was about to start. Ugh.
- playa1 2y agoMy younger kids hadn’t seen the Matrix and I thought the 25th anniversary release in the theater would be perfect. Leading up to it I tried to create the mystery for them that I remembered 25 years ago. All of the mystery was destroyed with the featurette. I was so annoyed and disappointed. But they enjoyed the movie so that was good at least.

- gamblor956 2y agoWho expects to avoid spoilers for a 25 year old blockbuster? That would be like trying to avoid a spoiler for who won the Civil War in a U.S History class.
