Which is better to go to a Movie in a Theater or watch it at home? / myLot

I went with my daughter last week to a movie, Zootopia #2 with my 23 year old daughter. She invited me, but I bought the food and drink. I liked the film, but she didn't. I stayed for the whole film, but she waited out in the lobby for me. It might have been better if we had watched it at home, because then she could have done other things instead of just waiting for me. Which do you like? Why?

I would rather watch a movie at home.

That's great sometimes the hustle that comes with going out is so much boring

It depends with the mood and other factors like company, for socialization and finances and sometimes when you need the time alone you'd rather stay at home and watch whatever you wanna watch

It depends, if that is one of my favorite actors - I would love to watch it in theaters. But I love watching dramas and mvies in Netflix and Viu.

We watch movies online. There are no movie theaters closer than 70 miles from our house. With the cost of gas and the cost of going out to see a movie, it's just not worth it to us.

I do both. There are some great movies that are best watched at the cinemas and the not-too-great ones should be watched at home.

i prefer to watch it at home. its comfortable and you can pause the movie if you need to do something. but sometimes the disadvantage of watching it at home sometimes you pause the movie and then do something, then you'll get busy then you forgot about the movie

For me for sure it would be watch it at home. I do not like to be in a crowd anymore.

I rather watch at home cause you don't have to hear people talking through the movie or have big heads in your way.
