There are many people like me though that always desire that cinema experience. Nothing can substitute it, so it will always be in business. The box office is still making millions of dollars in their business. Dune: Part Two sold $626 million after five weeks of release and Kung Fu Panda 4 sold $347 million after four weeks of release.

Lens Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I sincerely love the big screen experience, but sometimes I realised that it's just not worth the hassle. Now, I have a comfy couch, a huge TV, and a streaming subscription as well. why do I need to bother with overpriced tickets? Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price of snacks and drinks at the movie theater is also overpriced. I’d rather buy my own snacks and drinks & stay at home. However, there are some movies where I’d rather watch a big screen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I don't think the search facility on Prime is the best. They seem to have the movies, etc in order of the upload date, but not alphabetically presentable, which can be a chore to sift through. I was on it and was impressed by the value, because there is plenty to view. But the search mode is not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The search functionality on Prime can definitely be frustrating. One trick that might help is using specific keywords or filtering options to narrow down the results. It’s not a perfect solution, but it can make finding what you’re looking for a bit easier. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 For foreign language films on DVD that have a dubbed option, this does not always apply to the version they put on Prime. For example, a lot of 'giallo' movies made in Italy are in Italian, but Arrow will only publish it in the default language. Obviously Italian, or Japanese, etc, for Asian movies. So unlike physical releases, they omit the option to change the audio to English, if it is on the DVD or Blu-ray. Then there's movies like Black Sabbath. I seen a dubbed version, but they only have the Italian audio version on home media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only when the hype behind a movie is worth it that it drags me to watch. I can't forget the experience I had watching Godzilla Minus One in the theatre.

Knight Plug Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 (edited) Historically, it would be a shame to close cinemas and only have records for home media and streaming. As somebody who has nearly every top ten horror film since Variery started coverage in March of 1922, I know I'd dislike theaters going bye-bye.
