Watching at home is more affordable and convenient. Even going out to the movie theater is time consuming having to drive there and find parking then drive back if you don’t live in a place close to the theater even if prices were reasonable.

Movies at home: $0

Movies at home: I don’t have to go anywhere

Agree with you… there’s a clear winner there.

I live less than ten minutes from a decent enough multiplex, but I only go to one or two movies a year, when it’s a project I am excited for and the spectacle of the thing makes the giant screen, giant speakers, and properly darkened viewing room outweigh all the incredible advantages of watching at home.

I still don’t get any popcorn though. If I’m into the movie enough to deal with the… ugh… theater, I don’t need to bother with overpriced concessions.
