I watched Shirley Frimpong Manso’s much talked about movie-POTOMANTO few days ago and I can confidently say; if you’ve not seen it yet, you are missing out…
A lot of technical proficiency went into the making of the movie, the main reason why it came out GREAT and has become a ‘MUST SEE’ for all African movie lovers.
During the Christmas holidays, I had the opportunity to watch the new Shirley Frimpong Manso’s feature film-POTOMANTO in its full HD glory via Sparrow Station—and the experience was beyond my expectation.
Before I proceed with my thoughts on POTOMANTO, let me steal a bit of the space to tell you about my Sparrow Stationexperience.
I think I am in the best position to rate the Sparrow Station Video on Demand service. After all, I am a regular user of some of the best global VOD services such as Netflix, Lovefilm, NowTV and BlinkBox—I have once held accounts with all these platforms.
After having watched several movies on the above VOD platforms, I have become used to streaming interruptions, especially when the speed of the internet is not great. Even with my recently acquired fibre optic broadband connection, I’ve not been able to completely escape the headache of streaming interruptions.
Therefore, I was prepared to see the streaming of POTOMANTO on Sparrow Station being interrupted, at least two or three times. But shockingly, I watched the entire movie on Sparrow Station without any streaming interruption—and the quality of the movie was GREAT.
The first time I watched POTOMANTO, I did so on my laptop. And when I decided to re-watch it for the purpose of this write up, I hooked my laptop up to my TV—without losing any bit of the HD quality on the large TV. In fact, it felt like I was watching one of the usual SKY HD channels.
