SAN FRANCISCO – Moviegoers were faced with a harrowing scene at a screening of the recently announced ‘Death Stranding’ movie as patrons were forced to use ladders left behind by previous viewers to get into the theater.
“I was excited to see how Kojima would branch into making films, away from his usual wheelhouse of making films in video games,” said fan Shane Harrison. “But my heart sank when the usher told me the theater was on the third floor – then he handed me a ton of stuff to carry.”
Fortunately for Shane and other viewers, a previous attendee had left a ladder on the ground floor that led directly to a balcony on the third floor of the lobby atrium, reports confirmed.
“The ladder was a real lifesaver,” said Thomas Geary, 42, who used it to get to his seat. “Escalator was done and I almost gave up any hope of reaching the screening without a direct route to the theater. I also kept tripping and dropping all my popcorn all over the place.”
When questioned about the possibility of using the stairs, Shane dismissed the notion, stating that the steep terrain would have made it difficult for him to keep his balance.
At press time many viewers complained their movie-going experience was ruined by an unusually large amount of crying babies in the theater.
