Social media erupted with uproar recently after a moviegoer lambasted Tanjung Golden Village Cinemas (TGV) for restarting a movie halfway.

The moviegoer, Fazillah Raduan, posted on Facebook that the movie Batman was restarted after 45 minutes.

Accordingly, a staff went up to the stage and made an announcement that they would be restarting the film from the beginning.

Fazillah alleged that it was to accomodate some ‘VIPs’ who came late for the 7.15pm screening at Vivacity.

This film is 178 minutes long. Now I have to wait another 45 minutes just because a group of people came in late? It’s not about money, it’s about fairness. Are you trying to tell me that me and other customers are less important than those who arrived late?
Moviegoer Fazillah Raduan lets rip at TGV over the fiasco.

You’d better have some great explaination min @TGVCinemas
Siapa pukimak yg special sgt sampai perlu re-start balik movie after 45mins?
Kalau technical issue takde hal, ni sebab ada waknat yg minta re-start? It better not be some dipshit anak menteri or related sial 🤬 pic.twitter.com/LKwg6PM4DX

TGV Blasted By Netizens

TGV were hit by bad reviews from netizens who blasted them for the fiasco.

According to netizens, no moviegoers should have to endure such treatment.

If the cinema had to restart my movie after 45mins, I would have shouted “ANAK BANGSAT PALA BUTO MANA YANG SURUH REWIND NI” to the TGV staffs so loudly and everyone should hear my voice and that bloody VVIP kids would never stepped into Vivacity again.

I don’t deal with idiots.

They also criticised the offer of free movie tickets and refund, saying that it’s not about money but ethics and fairness.

Instead, they want TGV to expose the culprit that caused the mess and made other moveigoers feel extremely disrespected.
