What is your unpopular flim opinion
I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds
You're viewing a single thread.
Seeing movies in the theater is overrated and they are far more enjoyable at home.
I agree with this to a point. It depends on your set up at home, vs whether or not you get decent seats at a theater and how crowded it is. I saw "Dune" from great seats in a mostly empty theater, and I don't think any home set up could compare. I also watched "It Follows" at home late at night on a decent TV while my family was away, and I can't imagine a better way to experience that one.
I've ibd so going to the cinema means I'll inevitably miss at least 5 minutes every time my bowels want to be a bitch. At least watching movies at home I can pause the damn thing and I don't miss things.
If it weren’t for the popcorn and those cool Coke vending machines with seemingly infinite flavours, there would be zero draw at all for me. And even then, I haven’t been in years. Both of things cost about the same as a ticket, and I feel like an idiot paying 3000% markup for it in public.
I watched The Batman on IMAX on my birthday, although I was just a bit disappointed with the quality of the projector, I was mind blown by the audio!!! The audio on the chase scene especially!!!
For me it depends. Some movies benefit more from the big screen than others. For example I went to see both Avatar movies in the cinema since those specifically shine because of their effects. With many other movies I agree that a good home cinema leaves little to be desired.
The other reason why I sometimes like the cinema experience is because it forces me to pay more attention and not get distracted. That might be a self-discipline issue, but this way i don't randomly pick up my phone or similar. itespecially helps me appreciate longer slow movies more. For example something like "drive my car" (almost 3h long) that I glad I caught in the cinema when it came out
