      If they think they will see anything near what the solicitors legal fees will be they are as thick as I suspect they are.

      Riddled with self importance and main character syndrome.

      Why do I feel that somewhere on the booking form it will state 4DX cinema experience not suitable for children under 12 and this will be the cinemas excuse

      If they left before the film began, how do they know they were in the right screen room? Is it a one screen cinema there?

      Cineworld are a terrible company and historically terrible to staff.

      Sue away.

      The first thing to check on a theatrically exhibited trailer is the certificate in the corner. You can have a U certificate trailer for a film expected to receive a higher rating. The BBFC certifies trailers separately.

      However, there are no U certificate rated trailers for M3GAN 2.0 (15) or Jurassic World: Rebirth (12A). This information is available on the BBFC website. Trailers must not be rated higher than the film they are attached to and Lilo & Stitch is rated U.

      Others have said that Cineworld 4DX screenings have different age requirements than other screenings but this doesn’t override anything. Certificates exist for a reason, it’s reasonable to expect that a U certificate film will be safe for all audiences.

      While I don’t think this was anything to sue over, she is correct that Cineworld has broken the rules here. If a parent looks at the listings and sees a U certificate then they should not have to go looking through T&Cs to check whether there is some exemption to that.

      Stuff like this is so bizarre to me because of course that’s something that’s wrong, I just can’t imagine having enough free time on my hands to take it to the papers and sue
