I am 18 and till this day I have never been inside a cinema, its not like i dont watch movies. I watch movies on amazon prime, but recently I was thinking of watching oppenheimer(sorry if theres a spell mistake), should I go to cinema (Its not about the movie its about should i try going to a cinema) ??
And if yes then should i go alone or with a group of friends ???
It's expensive. And, a lot of times people are inconsiderate. There are bad smells. Sticky floors. Screaming children. Can't pause and go to the refrigerator or bathroom.
A lot of people like it. Maybe you will, too. Try it. But, I prefer to stay home and wait to watch movies in the comfort of my own home.
I feel similar and here I pay about 11€ for a movie, 14€ if it’s 3D (which most available viewings are) and any popcorn and drink is also overpriced. Though I would say I could afford it technically, the bigger factor for me avoiding the cinema is the other people, I had too many shitty experiences with people hitting my seat, being loud, being ill and coughing the whole movie, etc
Where I live it's not crazy expensive, but it's definitely not throwaway money, though if the price is a consideration, it's probably better image and sound quality than what you can get at home (assuming it's a nice one, I have one in my city that has awful audio)
Something tells me there probably won't be screaming children at an Oppenheimer screening lol
I don't go often but I haven't had a bad movie theater experience since...the 2000s maybe? Then again, I generally only see movies "made for" cinema so the audience demographic is skewed
