WIN: tickets to see Godzilla this Thursday

Giant angry lizards! Angry army peoples! Angry army peoples angrily shooting at giant angry lizards! Movies! GODZILLA!

If that made total sense to your joy-tubes (and if you’d like the chance to win tickets to watch a movie with us), head below the break.

We’ve once again been handed control of a pair of Nu Metro cinemas for an evening (one in Cape Town and the other in Jo’burg), this time in honour of the fancy new Godzilla movie that’s due to launch at cinemas this Friday. Except that instead of having to wait for Friday, entering this competition means you stand the chance to watch it a whole day before anyone else in the country gets to do so. Well, technically a few hours before anyone else in the country. But you know what we mean.

What we’ve got for you is an UNDISCLOSED NUMBER of double tickets, so you can share the spoils of your potential victory with a person of your choice. You’ll also each be handed a drink, a box o’ popcorn and a pair of 3D glasses as bonus reward for being awesome at winning competitions.

The screening is happening this Thursday (May 15th) evening at 8pm, at Nu Metro Montecasino in Johannesburg and Nu Metro Canal Walk in Cape Town. If you’d like the chance to win, all you have to do is leave a comment below. Please let us know in your comment if you exist in Cape Town or Jo’burg. Now, a synopsis, pasted as-is, because it’s been requested of us. Then, a trailer, because giant angry lizards.
