I’m under 40 and I don’t go to any movies. I just don’t get the concept of sitting in a darkened room with a group of strangers to stare at a screen for 2 hours.
It’s a 20th Century thing, you guys wouldn’t understand. LOL
I am almost 40 and Atlas is the first movie in years I was looking forward to seeing in theatres and I enjoyed it very much.
You're supposed to wait until there's a movie showing, then you will not have to just stare at a screen but can watch the movie.
With todays movies, you’re right.
W ith a really good movie, and a full theater, there is an electricity and energy in the air. That’s something that no home theater can duplicate.
depends why you go. To sit with a bunch of strangers or to watch the movie.
Sometimes, sitting with a bunch of strangers is the better of the two.

I feel the same way and haven’t been to a movie in years, but I went to this one and was glued to the screen for the entire 90 minutes. The audience was silent and applauded at the end. Give it a try, you’ll like this movie
The financial success of Part 1 may well determine whether the rest of the story is filmed. This is only the second theater visit I have made in the last ten years.
My wife and I went this afternoon. It was not crowded; perhaps a dozen or dozen and a half people.
I was pleasantly surprised by the film. My main concern going in was that the pace would be too slow to accomplish telling the story. As it turned out, the pace was quite good. The "special effects" were more than adequate to support the story. The time in the theater went very quickly.
I look forward to the final parts of the story. I hope that the success of Part I enables the producers to create even longer and more complete additional parts. Some of my money will help this along. None of yours will.
You're right, you don't.
There have been girlfriendless/childless times in life when I have had little interest in going out to movies, but I've never had any problem grasping the concept a century old pastime; especially before the industry went to hell.
Not to pick on you, but the way you framed your comment is so typical of the younger set. It's not enough to politely express a lack of interest. There also has to be the implicit assertion that those partaking in the entertainment are somehow defective and lack the inherent wonderfulness of the young, hip observer.
It's kinda like that old marriage between one man and one woman thing that old fools have been observing for thousands of years. Just don't get the concept.
I haven’t formally sworn off movies, but I can’t recall
the last time I saw one. Our synagogue did screen “Defiance”
IIRC, one Tisha B’av but I didn’t make it. I think my
*parents* gave up on movies c. 1970.
A non-commercial setting might be more to your taste, but
that would limit you to DVDs.
Does that mean that you have no ambitions, no desires, or you just have no imagination? After all, most movies inspire or entertain us.
