Review of Jaws - Open Air Cinema at Porthmeor Beach

Great venue. Perhaps needed to open doors a bit earlier to allow social distancing in the queue

Review of Jaws - Open Air Cinema at Porthmeor Beach

The only thing that spoilt our evening was the fact that we didn’t see the first half an hour or so of the film due to the sun shining on the screen. It was annoying at first as we were both looking forward to this first time experience. Eventually as the sun dropped a bit a good picture gradually started to appear. The gin and popcorn were great and the deckchairs comfortable. Would definitely attend another but would be aware of the the position of sun versus screen next time.

At first the very dark night scenes you could not see as the sun was shining on the screen but as the sun lowered the screen got brighter. Good social distancing measures very impressed

Best to sit in the centre so speakers are balanced. Great that chairs are supplied

Great first experience of an outdoor cinema. Perfect weather, very well organised and comfortable seating. It was lovely to be able to sit safely in an auditorium with other people after months of lockdown. All Covid safety measures were followed correctly, including social distancing.

Great idea but the screen was facing the sun and the first 20 minutes you couldn’t really see the screen clearly and sadly the iconic opening seen was completely lost! It would have been better starting a bit later. I do however love cinema on the beach - it’s not my first time or my last last.

music was awful waiting for the film to start but great experience will do it again

Review of Jaws - Open Air Cinema at Porthmeor Beach

What a great night! Beautiful scenery, gorgeous beach and a fantastic movie to watch. I loved every second.
The only tiny downside for me was that I had the speaker right next to me and it was so loud, my ears are still ringing. I’ll sit in the middle next time!

Staff were amazing coping with distancing etc. We noticed how compassionate they were towards a disabled lady in the audience going the extra mile and more. Thank you for a tremendous event, booked for lost ark next week!!!

Review of Jaws - Open Air Cinema at Porthmeor Beach

This event seemed to be run by ammitures. The sound system was not my meaty enought to deliver a quality sound, also the high frequency treble was up way too high.
The beach was a great location for this film, but the screen was set up facing the sun, so you could not see the image on the screen untill the sun went down. Didn't really seem to be any staff present. When we mentioned the sun shining on the screen to a member of staff they respond by saying the sun didn't usally set there!!! Seriously, the sun has set the that location since the dawn of time... But the friendly staff lady that we did find was quite helpful.
The screen would of also been better facing with customer facing out to sea, not away from the sea looking at the town.
Great idea guys but you need to sharpen up a present a more professional event.
