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.

      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

      How expensive is it where you are? I’m not in the west and cinema costs me USD 5-10. Which means I can easily watch one or two every week

        I used to have a subscription for about ~17 a month, all 2D shows were free, 3D cost a couple bucks and discounts on IMAX. Also discounts on food.

          AMC A List is good if you want to see at least two movies a month. A group of friends and I all have it and we see movie once a week.
