Pretty, but disappointing
Pounamu Pathway - Māwhera的点评
点评:I wanted to love this, but it is eye-gougingly expensive - $87 for two, including a senior discount. By the time we found out the price, we were a bit awkward about backing out. So we thought, it’ll be worth it, it was advertised as “weta” so …. That all meant expectations were high.
We were very disappointed; it’s pretty, the large character with the backlight pounamu was spectacular (though at te papa we thought they were better), but it looked to us like that’s where the ideas ran out.
We were told to wait to go into one “theatre” but there was no one else around, and we found ourselves struggling to engage with the stories. At times there are lights shining in your eyes making it hard to read the dark (and dense) text panels, and we had to be shown how to use the only touchscreen. Some lovely things, but the overall experience was so disappointing- sorry to say.
It’s a beautiful thing to see but it should be free - it’s a shame it was empty.
翻译:我想喜欢这个,但它贵得让人眼花缭乱——两人 87 美元,包括老年人折扣。当我们得知价格时,我们有点尴尬,不想退缩。所以我们想,这是值得的,广告上说是“weta”……这一切都意味着期望很高。
我们非常失望;它很漂亮,带有背光 pounamu 的大人物很壮观(虽然我们认为 te papa 更好),但在我们看来,这就是我们的想法用尽的地方。
我们被告知要等着进入一个“剧院”,但周围没有其他人,我们发现自己很难融入故事中。有时,灯光会照到你的眼睛,很难看清黑暗(和密集)的文字面板,我们必须被展示如何使用唯一的触摸屏。有些可爱的东西,但整体体验太令人失望了——很遗憾。
这是一个美丽的东西,但它应该是免费的——可惜它是空的。
