Where Will You Go When You Want To Watch A Filmcinema Or Just On Your Computer

For the reason that many people have computers now,there are fewer and fewer cinema-goers and the cinema is slack.The film tickets are too expensive,while it doesn't cost so much to watch it on our computer.Some people think it is time-consuming and inconvinent to go to the film.Nevertheless,it is very convinent to watch films at home.You needn't go out but just need to turn on your computer.And you can choose the film which is your favourite. I watch movies on my computer,I have not went to the cinema for a few years. What about you?

It`s nearly the same with me. my computer is connected to my big TV, so i can watch movies from the pc on TV. Also, i don`t like to go to the cinemas. Not because it`s too expensive, but it`s uncomfortable. And people are always talking when you want to watch or rustle with their popcorn bags or caugh. I don`t like that. At home it`s more comfortable. And i also have a big DVD collection. I buy many DVDs, cause today DVDs are very cheap if you buy used ones. Have a nice day! [damato]
Yes,the cinema is really noisy,we can watch movies on our computer without being disturbed.it is really a good idea.I ofthen buy some DVDs,too,for they are so cheap,you can buy many movies with only a little money. Happy mylotting. Thank you for your response. [simon611]


I would love to watch film in the television only. I usually rent or buy DVD and then watch it in the TV. I watched in the computer sometimes but it just take time to load it because my internet speed cannot sustain the fast streaming of the movies. I love to watch cinema too but I don't have any company and I just don't like too crowded like cinema. [keanusuke]
If you watch films in cinema yourself,it will be less interesting,for you will feel lonely.My computer allow me to watch the whole film without break off,I like it very much.It is an enjoyment to watch movies on your computer.And it will save some money for you. Happy a nice day. [simon611]



I go for a cinema to watch a film.Cinema is the best place to watch a movie,at home i cant watch a complete movie because we get disturd at home.So i find cinema is the best place to watch a film.I goes every weakend twice in a month for a movie.I enjoyes the film in a cinema i always goes with my gfriends. [ghouse1]
Yes we are many times distracted at home. That's why i mostly prefer cinema hall's. But in cinema hall's we can watch the whole movie without being distracted being there the enviroment makes us feel good while watching the movie. [v4vikas]


hello simon611.. same as you I prefer watching movie on my PC than on Cinemas... Cinema movie ticket are just so expensive... so I better buy a cd or a dvd to watch a movie.. and I can't only watch in once.. I can watch it as many times.. compared to cimemas where you have to pay again in order to watch again... happy posting..., and GOD BLESS... [vellalyn777]


I prefer to choose watch movie in my computer. I can more relax maybe lying in my bed, sitting unusual style than sit straightly in the sofa at cinema. But for some movie like action movie, I prefer to go to cinema to watch it. Because the sound effect is more powerful than my computer. Keep post Happy myLotting... [winzpc]

I like both, watching movie in a cinema hall or watching on a computer. I watch in cinema hall because i dont know i have what kind of attraction to that 70mm screen. I enjoy a movie there very much. The real beauty of watching a movie according to me is in a cinema hall. I love the crowd over there, their expressions on a scene, and many other things, it gives me a special type of feeling. I think no one can compare the atmosphere of a cinema hall with computer. We have our complete mind on watching a movie, instead of anything else, (exceptional case when you are with yourgirlfrnd). I like watching movie on a computer, because you dont always have time to go and watch movie in a cinema hall. Cinema shows start at a fixed time while at home you can watch any time, pause the movie, repeat the scene and many other thing. [v4vikas]

i usually rent or buy VCDs/DVDs.. it's more practical than watching films at theatres.. I used to be a regular movie goer but when i had my own place, i've learned how to prioritize things.. now i splurge my money on buying important stuffs like food, groceries and home furniture.. [gracie04]

Cinemas.. Ah.. It has been a long time since I went to one. Life's so busy right now that I cant even spare myself for a breathe. So I see the , movies on my computer at home, relaxing. It's good because you do not have to stand in line for the tickets, or be disappointed if you do not get any at all. And there wont be much of a hurry. And also there wont be a lot of people around you so it sure will be calm and soothing especially if you are just out of work or something. bournehappy [bournecaindelta]

When we were still single, my husband and I used to watch movies in cinemas. We check out those good movies which are shown and watch the last full show. Now that we are already married, we became busy with different things. We don't get to watch movies in theaters especially now that we already have a three-week old son. He just rents dvd and we just watch it at home. Well, it takes some time for the movie to be available in dvd's but we have no choice. [maroseqf]

Theatres cost too much at this point. I watch on my computer and tv through Netflix. They have a watch Now feature for computers. And they send me dvds for the tv. Either is nice. [ersmommy1]

i also see the film on my computer.it cost too much to watch the film at the cinema.it's very convinence to see the film on computer.i can do lots of things when i see the film on my computer.it cost less money and time.but i think it's enjoying to watch the film at the cinema.on computer ,it's just to finish the film. [zhangdl]

i havent been in a theater for a long time as well. i guess i dont have the time to watch a movie in the theatre anymore. plus the prices to watch a movie has increased and i sometimes think its unreasonable to pay for that kind of price to watch a movie once... but there are times that has an exception. because sometimes when watching movies on the internet eventhought its connected to the tv or in a big screen it doesnt have a very good quality bec. some of the movies on the internet arent the original film. sometimes also watching a movie over the internet doesnt give a big of an impact on the viewer when the movie is really good. i mean, if the movie is really good its going to be great but being in the movie house watching it in a very big screen and total surround sound makes the movie last longer. but like i said its expensive to watch in the theatre. so its cheaper to watch movies via internet. sometimes when the quality of the movie we watch is really good we take out the projector and watch it outside with the whole family and bring out big speakers. its really fun. watching it at home and we can cook and eat and be noisy whenever we want [katbalu102]

Well i like to go to cinema's for movies which i think are really good but ones that i may or may not like i prefer watching it on computer, But i would definitely like to watch movies in cinema halls because when i watch movies on computer i keep fast forwarding the movies which actually spoils the experience for me [shyamjoshi]

Typically watching a computer on the net has become alot more common nowadays but in my opinion it is more of a better feel when you watch it at a cinema [dezmistro]

I usually go to the cinema halls towards movies with big openings, different script and celebrities. Nothing can beat the experience of a multiplex. Not the TV or the computer. Also, it's a lot of fun, as it allows a little change and outing with friends and other family members. Even the worst movies can be a lot of fun if you are going with your friends. As I am a complete movie buff, I watch almost 2 movies every three days. And as far as I can calculate. I have watched over 500 movies in the last two years! [zeethegr8]

Hi there Simon. I think it really depends on the film as some movies are only released on DVD while others are not worth seeing in cinema - the thing is i only go to good movies in cinema as the prices are as you said it quite high and i can't afford to go see movies anytime i feel like it. [elitess]

I tend to watch films at home normally we get them on DVD rent them out etc. Cinema is very expensive and with two small children it isnt always easy to go so its much nicer for us to sit at home relax while the children are in bed and watch a film in the comfort of my own home where I can pause it should i need to make a drink! [kezabelle]

Neither the nearest cinema is another county, so we just go to the movie store or the grocery store and get a movie. It's easier that way. [SomeCowgirl]

If I find movie really interesting or its worth to spend money on cinema then I go for it after reviewing ratings of new released movie. If I feel it is OK types movie I prefer to watch it on DVDs. [magicalangel]

Hello simon611 I too haven't been to the cinema for years since my kids were born really. Now I am a single mum it is too expensive to go with my kids or even on my own witha friend because I would have to pay a babysitter as well as the entry to the cinema. [Humbug25]

With the constant rise in ticket prices, I hardly go to the cinema these days. I still do, but I select the movies I watch very carefully. It's not like before wherein I'd watch anything in the moviehouse and not feel ripped off. That's where DVDs and online services come in. A movie rented through NetFlix for example, would be way cheaper than the money you'd be forking over for a movie. [YoreTiller]

I haven't gone to the theater for such along time. And it has nothing to do with money at all. I have a back injury so I don't like having to seat in uncomfortable chairs for that long as I would honestly walk out. I rather watch movies in the comfort of my own home where I can get up and stretch, be as loud as I want and not worry about disturbing others, lay on the couch and of course curl up next to the fiance and cuddle. [nicholejade]

I go to the cinema one or two times a month, it depends in whether I feel the movie is worth it or not. I do prefer the cinema in a way, the problem is that I smoke and drink, you can't do the first at the cinema and beer is way too expensive for my budget. So yeah, I go to the movies from time to time, but I do most of my movie-watching at home, with a pack of Camels and the ability to press pause when I want a cold one. Rich [Richard_Uther]

If I have extra money i'll definitely watch the movie on cinema, but then again if i watch the mmovie in computer the story is just the same. The problem is the quality is not so good even though its not so good,but then I realize its better choose watching the movie in the computer it will save me the time and effot. So were wiil you watch a movie my fellow lotters cinema or computer? [rafcore182]

Hi happy I dont seem to go out to the movies all that much but it is nice and a sure treat when i get to go .to go to the movies at night for us would be nearly 20 and with drinks or food like 30 ! my fiance and me have a movie plan and rent many movies and at a good price . i could never watch on my computer i would wanna be comfy and when i am online i always gotta move around . i get restless sometimes ! [metschica25]

Hi, myloter According to me it is better to watch the movies on computer than going to cinema, because it is not good to watch a movie in cinema hall, now a days there is no safty of life, cinema hall is a public place that's why it is better to watch a movie on a computer. [imtooz]

I like the movies better than the computer. For one thing, the computer has limited screen size and it does not offer the same sound quality as the theater. The wide screen is always more fun to watch. Besides, I cannot really relax and concentrate on the film if I watch a movie on my computer. There are a lot of distractions around. [alindahaw]

I personaly love going to the movies it is costly but i go for the atmosphre, which most of the time is pretty good(not counting the loud and noisy people or the people blocking your veiw). Theres something about the huge screen and the surround sound and the slow dimming of the lights as the movie starts. although alot of people dont like the previews i also enjoy watching those cuz you sometimes get to see the trailer of a movie long before any of your friends have heard of it. [afallchild]

I prefer the cinema it is just the excitement of being in the group. I must admit watching it on the computer is properly quieter and more calmer. There is nothing like the popcorn in the theater and the big comfortable seats in the cinema. [agrant10]

i support cinema, for me at home is just not the right place. even though i have a big screen television that can be connected to my computer, it is still different to watch it at cinema with the hugge screen, popcorn and just the mood! [moonight]

I have no Tv,so I canīt connect my laptop when I want to watch a movie.But I watch movies from my laptop. In my opinion,I prefer to sit at home. Itīs cheaper than go to the theather.You can switch off the movie some minutes if you want to do other things [ennasus59]

If i want to watch a film i always want to go for a cinema because it is the best place to watch film.I enjoys watching films in cinema hall.Twice in a month on my weekends i goes to cinema with my friends.I enjoys watching films with my friends on weekends.Cinema is the best palce to watch films.
