Watching a film at home is a better choice for me than watching a film at the cinema because of the cost, preparation, and comfort. In the first place, watching a DVD at home is cheaper than watching a film at the cinema. You can watch a film at home without a cost by using certain programs. For instance, it is free to download a film from internet, websites and torrent which is a most common protocols for sharing files over the internet using peer-to-peer mode. On the other hand, to see a film at the cinema requires a ticket which may be so expensive.

You can make your own pop-corn instead of buying one as well. What is more, you need to use transportation to reach the cinema rather than sitting down opposite your TV. Secondly, getting prepared to view a film at the cinema consumes your time a lot. For example, you need to get dressed and use public transportation to go to the cinema. In contrast, you may wear your comfortable clothes such as pajamas at home and save your time rather than wasting it to transport. Additionally, you ought to buy a ticket before the film starts, while tickets might be sold out or just front or back seats are available to purchase. Finally, watching a DVD at home is more comfortable than watching a film at the cinema. For instance, you do not waste your time watching commercials when you view a film at home.

    First, the costs are particularly higher in admission and refreshments at a movie theater than at the drive-in. A movie theater admission can run from $9 to $13 dollars per person for an evening showing versus $7 to $9 at the drive-in and the drive-in includes two movies. Food and drinks such as large popcorn and soda at the movie theater costs as much as a whopping $10 to $15. Drive-in food prices are usually at a cheaper rate where the same large popcorn and soda would be $7 to $12, probably because drive-ins know there is the treat of food being brought in.…

    First of all, the financial aspects of going out to the movies are the most appalling factor when you consider the facts. On average, a person will go the movies twelve times a year with a friend or family member totaling over eight hundred dollars or more. The person who stays home to see a movie for an easy eight dollars a month with Netflix also saves time and aggravation, as well as a considerable amount of gas money. Theatres also charge an excessive amount of money for snacks and sodas which could easily be prepared at home for a fraction of the price. Sodas and popcorn, on a national average, are three to five dollars for a soda, four to six dollars for popcorn and three to five dollars for candy. Financially, going to the movies compared to sitting at home and watching a movie isn't even fair. Netflix offers streaming movies whenever you want, for eight dollars a month. DVD's and Blurays are also offered to be mailed within one business day. Netflix boasts over 100,000 titles most available instantly on your television, computer, or gaming console as long as you want, and as many times as you want. I feel that going out to have a good time is essential in life, but money saved is money earned.…

    Even though we have to wait until a movie comes out on DVD, or television, by choosing to watch a new movie at home, it is more comfortable and cheaper than going to a theater. In reality, it all depends on an individual’s urgency to want to see a movie. I think there are times when we all want to get out of the house for a movie night. And then there are times when we would rather stay at home, and just relax watching a movie. There are both pros and cons to each choice. Watching a movie at home is definitely more cost effective, you can watch the movie as many times as you would like, you can invite people over, and even have the luxury of eating your own food. Going to the theater, is going to cost money, which isn’t cheap these days. You have to pay for the food, which also can be costly, and most of all if you have to get up for any reason, you’ll miss a part of the movie.…

    There are two main points of this arguement. The thetre atmosphere is the very first reason to excite audiences. Widescreen, sound effects, lights and feeling of excitement to enjoy up-to-date films with hundreds of people are unlikely to have in limited spaces like watching modern television at home or viewing downloaded movies on fashionable tablets. On the other hand, the immersive experiences being carried out through 3D technology with motion effects bring observers infinite variety of sensation. Home settings seem a great resolution for film fiends to save costs, nevertheless, it hardly possible to share feelings with followers.…

I have to take in to consideration how much free time I have on my hands. I also have to see what kind of mood I’m in.
