Movies at Home Vs. Movies at a Theater

Movies at Home vs. Movies at a Theater

Movies are a great way to entertain Americans. But which one is more fun? Watching a movie at home, or watching a movie at a theater? Each has its benefits, each has its faults. Everyone has their own personal opinion on this topic, but I do not care about them, I care about my opinion.

There are numerous benefits of watching a movie at home. Most of my reasons are personal, but I feel as though they are shared by many. I love watching a movie at home because I can sprawl out on a couch. I think movie theater chairs are so uncomfortable and confined. I also love eating, so I can get up and go to the kitchen and go grab whatever I want for a reasonable price, the price I paid at the grocery store. Plus, while you’re over in your kitchen getting food, you missed a part. Well you can go rewind it and see the part you missed, or before you go to the kitchen, you can pause the movie and when you come back, you can resume the movie. I also enjoy the fact of if you rent a movie or own the movie, you can watch it whenever you want. Personally, I believe there is nothing better than spreading yourself out on a couch, with a loved one, and a nice big bowl of popcorn, and watching a movie at night. It seems so relaxing.

Watching a movie at a movie theater is quite fun in itself as well. It is fun to have a “night out on the town.” People go to school and work all week to go out and go have fun on the weekend. Nobody wants to sit at home then. My girlfriend and I love the dinner and a movie date. We go grab a small bite to eat, and then go enjoy a movie. What is great about watching a movie at a theater is that the movie is new! You cannot rent it on DVD or VHS. You can sit in a large room, with a large amount of people (large people as well), with this large T.V., with a large sound system. Yes, it all seems large, especially when you pay for the ticket(s). For a 9:30 p.m. show at the Cinemark in Valley View, it cost me $16.00 for 2 tickets for Date
