I was excited to check out Orange Cinemas for Pixar's UP -but must now give Orange's outdoor cinema a big thumb's down. Why?
1) Ponchos. Orange Cinema's rain-out policy is not a refund, it is a poncho. The night they screened "Public Enemy" was some of the hardest rain Geneva and if bought tickets you couldn't get your money back. Sitting in a torrential downpour isn't healthy and a poncho doesn't change that.
2) Commercials. The worst part. Before the movie began Orange showed no fewer than 20 (I counted) full-length television style commercials. I'm not talking about movie trailers (there were none) I'm talking the "Drink Coke," "Drive Audi," style commercials that permit broadcast television to be free. These tickets cost 18 Francs a person - Orange should lose the commercials.
I say, if you want to see the lake--go the the lake, that's free and you won't have a big screen to block your view. If you want to see a movie--go to a cinema.

Well as far as I know, everybody who goes to Orange cinema knows there is a chance it might rain, after all it is open air. and so what about the commercials, I happen to enjoy them.
Maybe you should have checked the weather before going, I always do.

Sorry!
Great lovers of commercials who can predict the future should consider my complaint a complimentary review.
Apologies if I was unclear.
