Four Chinese girls came in 15 minutes after the film had started, then preceded to pass their phones to each other, talk, twiddle their hair and eventually go to sleep to the point that after it finished people where just pushing past them to get out cos they hadn’t woken up yet.I saw it last night, worst cinema experience I've ever had. Guy next to me in the cinema was coughing, sniffing, twitching, eating loudly, even had his phone out twice. I told him to leave in the end so only watched the last 3/4 hours concentrated without interruptions. I think I enjoyed it a lot but need another viewing. Sucks.
Probably an 8 for me, but really need that second viewing to confirm.

best cinema viewing I find is to wait a week or two, then book the earliest showing possible on a week day, we've often been the only ones in the cinema which is great, does require a day off work though but has been worth it for me, wouldnt dream of doing it any other way now.
But then again, if everyone did this i'd be screwed

I'm also of an age that remembers travelling down to Leicester Square Odeon from Derby to see the first Star Wars MovieThis is pretty much my only route to get a decent big screen experience, but back in the day (and this is me probably showing my age), I remember having amazing cinema experiences in a fully packed cinema in or around Leicester Square - usually on a Wednesday afternoon when I had no Uni lectures.
At that time the cinema crowd actually used to watch and immerse themselves in the film rather than constantly fiddle with their phones or chat with each other. Nothing topped watching Independence Day with the whole crowd whooping and cheering at all the cheesy one-liners, or crowds erupting into simultaneous uncontrollable laughter throughout 'There's Something About Mary'. You could also feel the entire audience locked into a dead hush over the intensity and horrors of flicks like Seven or Saving Private Ryan. Watching films in these kind of environments really added something to the whole experience and made cinema-going really worthwhile in those days.
Nowadays you'd be lucky to watch a film in a packed theatre without wanting to kill half the audience!
Couldn’t hang about, Aquaman departing the Imax screen by this time next week.best cinema viewing I find is to wait a week or two, then book the earliest showing possible on a week day, we've often been the only ones in the cinema which is great, does require a day off work though but has been worth it for me, wouldnt dream of doing it any other way now.

Must be the same people that do that when the plane lands.with the whole crowd whooping and cheering
Best cinema viewing is to go to imax. If you are going to pay silly imax prices you generally are going to watch the film.best cinema viewing I find is to wait a week or two, then book the earliest showing possible on a week day, we've often been the only ones in the cinema which is great, does require a day off work though but has been worth it for me, wouldnt dream of doing it any other way now.

Wait ..... which Imax are you talking about. Not the main one surely?Couldn’t hang about, Aquaman departing the Imax screen by this time next week.
It's got elements of Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Avatar about it I would say, if that helps I'd recommend it, and it's definitely worth seeing on the biggest screen possible rather than waiting for home release.Still in two minds to go and watch this.. last two xmas films at the movies have been star wars and sort off become mine and my sons traditional thing.....
Thanks Jimbo, now I have to convince my son to go and if there is no Kylo Ren or Batman he is not interested. Kids for you.It's got elements of Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Avatar about it I would say, if that helps I'd recommend it, and it's definitely worth seeing on the biggest screen possible rather than waiting for home release.
You got me right there! LOVE Romancing the Stone - another of my Guilty Pleasures.Was like a superhero romancing the stone.

This is how I justify to people having my own home cinema. Nothing better knowing you don’t have to worry about idiots like this!
You’re confusing ‘home release’ with ‘day release’ !Home release has a lot of advantages!!

I get quite lot of Fridays off work, and love to sometimes grab the first showing on opening day. Assuming the kids aren't off school, it's bliss. Most films only have a handful of people there, and it's almost like your own private screening.best cinema viewing I find is to wait a week or two, then book the earliest showing possible on a week day, we've often been the only ones in the cinema which is great, does require a day off work though but has been worth it for me, wouldnt dream of doing it any other way now.
