One of the most popular leisure activities of all time is movie watching. May the film genre be drama, action, fiction, documentary or comedy, watching movies is a relaxing way to break free from our daily activities, studies, work and other routines for at least two good hours.
Gone are the days when movie watching choices are limited to cinemas. The entertainment industry continues to grow by coming up with different forms of digital technologies allowing audiences to choose how to consume movies other than the cinema screens. This posed a challenge to movie theater attendance in general. Today, we can also reap the benefits of movie entertainment through the internet, home-theater technology and video rentals. While some would argue that these alternatives are becoming increasingly popular because they are somewhat economical and readily available, many still believe that going to cinemas and theaters with a bucket of popcorns and large soda is still the best way to enjoy the wonders of movie watching. Let’s find out why:
You can always rely on cinemas to always have the latest movie offerings. Be one of the first people to know the buzz in moviedom by watching the most anticipated movies as they officially come out for release by stepping into your favorite cinema. People like talking about movies as a means of socialization. Achieving firsthand movie enjoyment can be used as a social instrument to associate oneself to others and get acquainted.
Watching a movie with a lot of other people can be boatloads of fun. Sure, there will be instances that some people would inevitably talk or make all sorts of noises while the movie is still running but for the most part, experiencing varying and similar reactions from fellow viewers can be very enjoyable.
There are many home-theater systems out there that have amazing sound system and 3D capabilities. Needless to say, owning and maintaining such equipment can be pretty expensive. One can simply afford experiencing what home theater systems can offer without having to purchase one by going to the cinema. In addition, even the most advanced home theater systems can’t exactly replicate the way cinemas can make you feel like you’re part of the film. Nothing beats the giant screen, larger than life sound experience and high level of quality viewing that cinemas can offer.
Though it can’t be argued that watching movies at home by yourself or with your family and friends is still a fun experience, interacting with all sorts of people and personalities at a movie theater brings movie watching to another level. Don’t stay cooped up, get out and go see a movie today!
