Hopefully the word of mouth will be good and they'll release the reviews after the film premiere or atleast the social media reactions. I can't see why they would at that stage given that a lot of people will have seen the movie at that stage.

Embargo or not reviews will be coming out that day between international release, all these screenings and the premiere which some critics will probably attend.

I just hope that it isn't an attempt at getting fan reactions out there because they think the reviews will be bad. I'm trying to stay optimistic and assume that it's because the films going to be decent.

Eh, at worst it seems from early reactions that it's not a mess.

This is kinda sketch

"ARRIVE EARLY! SEATING IS FIRST-COME, FIRST-SERVED, EXCEPT FOR MEMBERS OF THE REVIEWING PRESS. THIS TICKET DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOU A SEAT! THEATRE IS OVERBOOKED TO ENSURE A FULL HOUSE. THEATRE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERBOOKING. NO ADMITTANCE ONCE SCREENING HAS BEGUN."

So i buy a pass then may not get to see the movie? How early is best to get there? Probably not gonna do it...

No you can see the movie if you get there before it is shown but if you arrive too late and all seats are taken you will have to stand.

There will be set amount of seats given to critics as WB will make sure their comfy to ensure good reviews.

2 secs of new footage on Instagram story for TombRaiderMovie showing Lara in full warrior mode helping Lu Ren escape and she sounds fierce. I can see critics applauding and eating up this reverse damsel in distress scenerio.

Any way to see it without an instagram account?

Standing room only huh? Yeah i think id rather wait a week and see it in the middle of the day friday when the theaters are nearly empty.

more people = more noises and distractions! I can wait!

No there will be seats but their going to sell more tickets than seats because they want to make sure it's a packed theatre. So basically you buy the ticket and get there early!!! You wont be assigned a seat when you pickup your ticket so you get there early and take what's left. I'd totally go early if I could!

I think mainly because critics are very non energetic people who don't react much in movies so they want a lot of regular audience people who bring energy to the film and will cheer and get into it as it adds to the critics experience of oh maybe this is a fun movie + word of mouth if the film is good.

Gotcha, any idea how early id have to go to get a seat?
