That's nice, have you ever bought a movie ticket only to watch the movie and it's completely trash, then you start regretting why you wasted money coming to watch it? Have you had such regrets before or that kind of experience.

Movies Do you prefer watching movies in theatres or at home?
Several times. The recent one was the movie Jawan that watched last year in 2023. It was in October or November. The movie surprisingly was a big blockbuster and our expectations were high. Especially with the star cast of Shahrukh and other superstar. It was projected as a fantastic action and thriller. But it was a huge disappointment. We kept waiting for the good part to come, but the movie got dragged and ended without offering anything good. We literally had a headache.
LoL I can imagine how annoying it must have been. I have heard that name Jawan before, it sounds really familiar but I am yet to watch it though. It's been long I watched an India movie.
I prefer cinemas. Everything is much better there than at home. And some pictures and sound are better and very comfortable chairs. Also, the prices are not very high, that is, I can afford it. But the cinema does not show old movies, only those that have been released recently, so I still have to watch some old movies at home
I prefer to watch movies in the theater. Watching a movie on a big screen gives you a different feeling than when you watch it at home. I know it is expensive, but if you don't buy popcorn and cold drinks, it would be worth the money you spend on the tickets.
I prefer watch movies at home because it's save money and time as well as and you can skip movie as your wish
You know, I gotta say, there's something unbeatable about catching a movie in theaters. Big screen, booming sound, popcorn in hand – it's just a totally different vibe than watching at home on the couch. Feels way more immersive, like you're actually part of the action!
Yes, if it's a movie worth watching, especially with the cinematic experience, I would prefer a big screen. It is worth the money spent. I try to get a weekday slot which we can make. Weekday tickets are reasonably priced. It gets double on weekends.
Considering how expensive watching movies in the theaters are, I will pass. Maybe I will buy popcorn and drink, sit at my house and pretend I'm at the movie theater!
That's what I will like to do but my kids don't like it and insist on to go to a theater at least once in six months and that's fine too.
After the popularity of OTT platforms have increased, most people prefer that. It's convenient too. One can enjoy it at their pace and also in their free time. And it's not expensive. Our theater trips have reduced drastically. We will only go if we hear about a movie with good cinematic experience. Some movies are worth watching on a big screen.
Okay, in all honesty, going to movie theaters with your family once in a while is not bad.
I also think it's not bad because kids get time to refresh themself as most of the time they are stressed with the studies. Every time they have to prepare for the exams. That's how they get sort of refreshment. And this is why they demand me to go to the theater once in a while.
Actually, it's a good family time . And one can afford to do it once in six months. As such we don't get many movies these days that are family movies and can be watched with the whole family. Most have gross scenes or too much of violence or foul language. Very few releases are for family, especially with younger kids.
There are times that I love to watch movies at home and there are also times that watching in the cinemas appeals to me. None is a personal favourite for me. It depends on my disposition at a given time.
I have heard mixed reviews about the recent release of Kalki. It's star studded and is released in few regional languages and Hindi at the same time. It's already breaking records at the box office. I have heard a lot of appreciation about the technology and visual appeal. I would like to watch it in the theatre. Let's see when I can.
It depends upon the plan so I watch movies in a cinema only with my family and we plan a movie once in 2 weeks
I like watching movies and playing music for free night ahead and watch the game of the respondents it makes me feel good and again I like watching together with friends
My home is always the best choice for me, I have never been to a theater to watch a movie before. Not because I can't afford it but I just don't see a reason to. Maybe when I finally get married, I we try to experience this with my wife.
