Tyger Valley Ster-Kinekor set to wow audiences with all-new cinema experience
S
ter-Kinekor has announced that
Bellville movie-lovers can more
easily enjoy the thrill of cinema
outings with the thoroughly
modernized and highly-accessible SterKinekor movieplex at Tyger Valley Centre.
Constantly mindful that some things
should only be experienced on the big
screen and that accordingly the thrill of
a trip to the cinema needs to be as much
about the overall enjoyment of the outing as the movie itself, Ster-Kinekor
has made all sorts of changes and improvements to the complex for a more
convenient, pleasurable and ultimately
more rewarding experience for local
movie-lovers. These include extended
wheelchair ramps and lifts for disabled
patrons and a foyer upgrade that allows
for easy access to the cinemas no matter
who you are.

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of
the King’.
The adventure follows the journey
of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is
swept into an epic quest to reclaim the
lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the
fearsome Dragon Smaug.
Approached out of the blue by
the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo
finds himself joining a company of 13
Dwarves led by the legendary warrior
Thorin Oakenshield.
Their journey will take them into the
Wild, through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs,
as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer.
Although their goal lies to the East
and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin
tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature
that will change his life forever…Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the
shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage
From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’, the first of
a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit,
by J.R.R. Tolkien. The three films tell a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before
‘The Lord of the Rings’, which Jackson
and his filmmaking team brought to
the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy
that culminated with the Oscar-winning

Ian McKellen in ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’
that surprise even him, he also gains
possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring
that holds unexpected and useful qualities... A simple, gold ring that is tied to
the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know. Ian McKellen
returns as Gandalf the Grey, the character he played in ‘The Lord of the Rings’
Trilogy, with Martin Freeman in the central role of Bilbo Baggins, and Richard
Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield.
Also reprising their roles from ‘The
Lord of the Rings’ in ‘The Hobbit Trilogy’ are: Cate Blanchett as Galadriel;
Ian Holm as Old Bilbo; Christopher Lee
as Saruman; Hugo Weaving as Elrond;
Elijah Wood as Frodo; and Andy Serkis
as Gollum.
“‘The Hobbit’ has a breathless pace
because Tolkien was writing it as a story
for his children and for the children of
the world,” Jackson notes. “It’s a ripping
yarn that moves from event to event,
and really doesn’t stop.
It’s a little more humorous than ‘The
Lord of the Rings’, the characters are a
little more colorful, but it nonetheless
has elements of greed and madness, of
an innocent who is changed forever, and
of the gathering forces that will lead directly into the events in ‘The Lord of the
Rings’. This is where it all starts.”
