Do you prefer to watch movies in the cinema or in the comfort of your own home? For me, I would like to watch action-packed and science fiction movies in cinemas whereby the sound effects would be more effective. For romantic movies or comedies, I would prefer to watch them at home because I would love to watch this type of genre relaxingly on my couch and I can't do that in the cinema. I would like to watch musical type of movies in the cinema too because the mood and music would be projected much more effectively in a cinema. What about you? What is your opinion on watching movies? Do you prefer renting or buying DVDs' or watching in cinemas?

I went to te cinema only once, to watch Wolverine. And i made a promise to myself never ever to go there again, as with my luck, there were a bunch of hooligans, who doesn,t seem to know what manners is. They are the sort that can make such an outing, turn out to a big disaster. Since then, i rather watch the movies at home, as my happy has this awesome sound system on his desktop so i a not missing much.

Yes, i know and i honestly agree 100% with you. But unfortunately i am the kind who can be very unforgiving and the temper to match. I know, it is wrong to be like that, but i,ll rather stay out of trouble, than making others unhappy in places like that. But thank you so much for remindeing me that i have to step up and forward, i promise next time i will try harder.

I love to watch in Cinema with someone or with family and friends. Cinema's atmosphere specially the sound effects can make you feel that you are closer to the scene of the movie or make you feel that you are with the actors. But I would prefer watching movies at home so I can save money.

I agree high action is better on the big screen. Otherwise I prefer to watch movies at home. The snacks are cheaper, I can pee when I want, and I smoke and dont have to miss part of the movie. We have a projector and a big screen but some just have to be seen at the theater. We just watched avatar in 3-d and that was definitely one for the theater!

I prefer to watch movies in the comfort of my own home. Then I can watch a movie at a time that suits me. I can bring my own snacks and it will be economical. If a movie is on at the cinema and I really want to see it I will attempt to get a baby sitter so I can go and see it. In 2009 I went to the cinema to see 'Couples Retreat'. I love movies that are set in picturesque locations overseas. A romantic comedy is the sort of movie I enjoy. I am planning to get it when it comes out on DVD.

i myself i like both to go to the movies and watch one there and then also watch them at home with my family.But it is easier when you dont have the money to wait for them to come out on DVD. then you just watch it on a sursound and there you go. but not all people have to sursound stuff.i have watch alot at the movies tho to.

When I we're talking about drama - I prefer watching it at home. It also the with family movies and some horrors. But when we're talking about effect based movie, I prefer cinema. It's because of the sound and the display. It's more effective. It's enjoyable to watch a scary horror movie in cinema too :) I enjoy people's reactions. Comedies are 50/50. You can watch it wherever you want, but sometimes it's better at home with friends :)

I prefer to watch movies at home mainly but there are some films that look and sound much better at the cinema. I remember seeing Saving Private Ryan a few years ago at the cinema then at home when it was released later. It was like watching a different film as the confusion and fear of the opening scenes on the beach in particular had a lesser impact when seen on a Tv screen at home.

I like the sound better in the movie theatre,but I am much more comfortable at home.It is also cheaper to watch at home.I have food here and can pause the movie when I go to the bathroom.I definately would rather watch my movies in the comfort of my home.
