Do you still watch movie in the theater?

Personally, I'm a huge fan of going to the theater. I love the big screen and the surround sound and just being able see a movie before everyone else who waits until the movie comes out on DVD. Unfortunately, I haven't been to see as many movies in the theater as I used to. Having the time AND the money is rare, especially since I tend to work on second and third shifts and my friends mostly work on the first and second. But when it all works out, I especially enjoy the midnight showings. Granted, its usually quite crowded and I always seem to end up behind the biggest and/or most talkative person in the theater but, hey, its nice to splurge on oneself every once in a while!!

I am sorry to say that I may disagree with you. First of all, the atmosphere of watching movies at home and in the cinema are totally different. At home you will never be able to achieve thundering and booming sound that you will get from cinema's awesome sound system. Plus, no matter smooth your HDTV is, it won't grow as huge as what cinema screen offers. Second, when you go to the cinema with friends or your lover, you can also enjoy happy atmosphere. While watching horror or stunning movie and we gasp, the other will follow. When funny thing happens we can laugh together with more than 20 people. And, would it be romantic to kiss your lover in the middle of romance movie and taste the sweetness of caramel pop corn? Another minus value about buying DVDs is the DVD version usually comes late, probably two or three months after the movie aired.

I believe its been a year or two years since i haven't watch in the theatre. For the reason i can download on net and watch it on my computer. I only watch when there is a movie that I really like, like Superman and if i like mostly the cast in the movie i will definitely watch it. As of now there is no movie that makes me excite to watch in theatre and I am on a little tight budget now so i will save my money instead of watching in a big screen.

I like to go to the cinema all the time, it may be expensive, but I enjoy the experience of it. The big screen, the junk food, and being with your friends make it all feel very fun. I do like to have movies on DVD, but they just can't beat the experience of the cinema (unless you have a HD projector like my brother does).

yes,i agree with you.it is much more practical to watch movies in the comfort of your own home instead of sending expensive movie tickets in theaters. i myself have last seen a movie with a friend because he treat me.that was just last month. but the last time before that is like i guess four years ago or more.i never had budget on that.well,i was always treated by my friends who i seldom see,that's why.hehe

yes, i still watch movie in theater.but it really depends on the movies itself.most of the time i will go for blockbuster movies or the fiction type.if they are worth enough to watch them again then my sister will buy the CDs or the DVDs.Mine?i would rather download them form sites or get it from my friends.

It costs $10 where I live to watch a movie in the theaters now; $7 for the matinee. Add popcorn and a drink and that's alot of money. And that's just for one person. There is this one movie theater in town where the tickets are $3.75-day or night; $1.50 on Wednesdays. It's an older theater and the movies they show have been around for half year before they show them but it's a lot cheaper so I don't mind waiting to see a movie if I really want to watch it in the theater. If I don't care either way, I can borrow DVD's at the library for free. The only problem there though is that the last 4 DVD's we borrowed were scratched and kept skipping while watching. I like staying home to watch b/c then you can pause it to answer the phone, get more popcorn, or use the bathroom.

I don't remember the last time I went..... I think it may have been 2008. I prefer the home too, it's so much more convenient and there are no rude loud talkers and dirty seats.

If i had to choose between the comfort of my home and the comfort of a theatre, i'd choose the comfort of a theatre more often. It's comfy at home no doubt cuz you can turn your cellphone to the max and no one will warn you but they warn you in theatres about that for your own comfort too, not just for the others. When you're going to the bathroom at home it's just right there. You don't have to walk a long way unlike in a theatre but at least in theatres it's well maintained and smells freaking good! Lol. Last but not the least, the size of the screen. If i had a fifty-inch flat screen tv and a banging sound system, i might choose watching movies at home more often than watching it in a movie house but i only have a twenty four inch tv with a mediocre sound system (it's actually the built-in one) so i'd still favor watching it at the movie house. There are a lot of other factors like foods, chicks, etc.. the list just goes on. My main reason is theatres are there for us to enjoy them so why not get out and have fun? Of course if we have the money.

Hmmm. I choose to buy CD or DVD instead of going to theater.. It's a lot cheaper.. hehe

Probably you are right. I won't spend too much money to go movie theater any more. I probably rather stay home, at the comfort of my home to enjoy the movies myself. I just want to be comfortable. I might go to movie theater once in a while.

Sounds to me, you don't really care to me about sound systems and effects a theater would give you. You also probably care less about movie technology that has been developed like 3D technology that is going to be developed more for home viewing. Home viewing is basically the comfort of staying at home, but it will never replace any kind of technology that cinema viewing can have even if any of that kind of technology comes to a home. I personally am not a big fan of watching CD/DVD unless if it's a movie or documentary that is unlikely be shown on theaters. Also, I would watch a movie at home that I would not be interested in spending money on in any theater.

no.i didnt watch movie in the theather now.the last time i watched movie in the theather was when im still on my college days and that was 11 years ago and the last movie i had watched was con air.now we do have mnay gadgets and high tech equipments we use in watching movie.we will just download movie on the net then we can upload it and we can watch already in mp4 players,computers,cellphones and even high tech digi cams now you can already watch movies.i think its more cheap because you dont need fare to go to the cinema no need for expensive snack and date..L.O.L..

you are right... if we only watch movie at once,but by buying a CD we can watch over and over time good idea

Although the movie tickets are expensive, but sometimes we will still go to watch the film in the cinema when it is worth. Such as the movies like Transformers and Avatar. It may be better to watch it because of its special and technical effects. I love China

Yes, we watch movie in the theater even we have DVD player at home. Watching in cinemas are different watching at home. Yes of course, it's cheaper to watch in our home but to watch with your family in movie theater is something! I don't say always but once in a month is okay for the family bonding.

i still do. nothing beats the feeling that you feel inside the theater right? unlike sitting in the couch at your home. well for me it also depends on the movie that i'm going to watch. if i think that movie isn't good then i will just wait when it will be available in cd. i agree that by buying the cd you will be able to watch the movie anytime after that but sometimes it would not hurt to go to the theater to watch quality and good movies right?

I totally agree with you on this. Of course aside from being practical, you can watch the CD over and over again for as long as you want. You can even have a collection of your favorite films.

personally watching movies from cds is good as you can watch the movies thousand times over without having to hassle through too much cost.. but watching movies in theatres is so much the ideal way for me. it makes u remember the time when we were young and d best way of watching movies were the cinema cuz VCR had issues... nevertheless, cd presents itself as a perfect tool to catch up on movies u've miss in d cinema..

I do still watch movies in the theater everyone once in awhile... but to be honest, I have Netflix! Hahah. That just about takes up ALL my time. I watch movies while I do homework- can't get any better than that! That being said... I am going to see Easy A with my mom tomorrow though!
