[QUOTE="jayjedi, post: 536135, member: 4"] I personally don't think you get a better experience watching a movie at home rather than going to the cinema. Yes a cinema trip is expensive, but you can get cheaper tickets during the day and if you want to reduce the costs further, pick up snacks before hand. There is something special about that moment of anticipation, the endless adverts finish, the title appears along with the rating and silence descends the audience ( well most of them) and then the music kicks in and the film begins with huge words scrolling up the gigantic screen [color=#0000BF] A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.....[/color] Not sure Star Wars would have resonated across the world and over the past 40 years as it has if we had all have watched it on TV. But I guess it is prejudiced to just use Star Wars as an example :D . Jaws, James Bond, Alien, countless Sci Fi films and the Marvel universe to name but a few, not sure they have the same impact out of the cinema. I think Infinity War was one of the best cinema experiences I have been to, just to be in that auditorium when the credits come up at the end and the audience were WTF, the gasps of what !
