Watching movies theatrically vs. at home

*Allio* · 06-09-2017, 09:48 AM

If it's a movie I'm curious about, I'll go see it in theatre.

if it's a sequel to another movie(Alien: Covenent) or it's part of a series (ie. MCU, DCEU) then I just wait for it on blu-ray. I mean, I'm not going to not get the film since I have all the other films.

Usually the only time I go to movie in theatre for a series I'm already invested in is usually if I'm a reall, REALLY big fan of it (Godzilla) or if I have a morbid curiousity (ie. Platinum TMNT/PR2017)

The bigger issue with theaters is cellphone use and all it takes is one jerk out of everyone there to annoy you with their texting during the movie. This happens very often to me unless it's like a midnight show where everyone is there to watch the movie.

Wonder Woman did look a bit washed out at my theater too, but I figured that was intentional.

But yeah everything looks better when you buy the blu-ray or watch it streaming at home than the theater. Probably because we're all sitting in front of our TV or computer screen at home versus in rows looking up at a big movie projector screen.
