i really just want to say, but as someone who wasted money seeing the 2nd film, please.. please do not waste your money seeing the 2nd film.

Even my GF who knows nothing about the series, and enjoyed the first film, thought the 2nd was absolutely horrid.

Reminds me of the Battle Royale situation.

Didn't even realise subtitles could get stuck like that, pretty funny though.


They shouldn't. Probably a typo (02:25->02:27 becoming 02:25->20:27).

Given how expensive theatres are in NA I would be angry. Especially when this movie is probably only screened in an handful of theatres and some people might have come a long way (and have been waiting for this day lol).

Oh WoW!!!!
People should just wait for the Anime Series.



Pocky Lover Boy!

did people asked for refund? or how did they fix it?

In the OP I mentioned that they restarted the film and gave vouchers to those who didn't want to watch it again from the start.

Funimation issued a comment regarding this issue:

Both Funimation and fans of Attack on Titan have been waiting for the day when the live action movie would open in theaters in the U.S. Unfortunately, fans at a handful of theaters last night did not have the experience that we hoped they would have.

As reported online, there was a glitch in the middle of the Attack on Titan Part 1 which caused the subtitles to freeze on a single line of text for 10 or more minutes while the movie continued to play. Funimation became aware of the subtitle problem on Monday, September 28. All exhibitors were alerted to the issue and worked with Deluxe to provide a simple fix that same day to correct the software error. Funimation and Deluxe followed up with all exhibitors the next day – Tuesday, September 29.

The handful of theaters that experienced the subtitle problem last night did not implement the fix, which resulted in the glitch during their screenings. Our theatrical division and Deluxe are in contact with these specific locations to confirm the fix is being implemented and what, if any, assistance Funimation can provide to ensure this problem does not occur again during the remainder of the Attack on Titan Part 1 theatrical run. Funimation will be hardcoding subtitles on Attack on Titan Part 2 and other future releases to prevent this problem from happening again.

Seems like old wins against new this time.

No prob.

This was part one being screened in the US. Part 2 already released in Japan and everybody loves it.

Went and saw the movie last night here in Raleigh,NC. No problems with the playing of the movie.

Now the movie itself....I actually enjoyed. I'll leave it at that for obvious spoiler issues. I'd say half the theater loved it and the other half was upset.

I used to live in Raleigh before I joined the Air Force. Good city :D
