Hello, myLotters.
With the development of science and technology, there are much more terrific movies coming. While the cost of almost each one gets higher than before, we've got to pay more to buy tickets while seeing films in cinema.
Nowadays, more and more people choose DVD player to see films at home rather than to go to cinema.
Which one do you prefer while seeing films, in cinema or just at home by DVD? Why?
Maybe you're too busy to see it in cinema sometimes.
On most occasions, will you go to cinema to see films or just use DVD player at home?
Thank you in advance.:)

I have not been to a movie in the cinema for ages. I can't even remember when I last stepped into one, or what show I saw. But I do have many shows on DVDs at home, and I haven't got all the time to watch them yet. So as far as watching movies go, the cinema will just have to wait.

On most occasions, I will normally just use DVD player at home. It is more convenient and more comfortable. I think the habit began when the children were small and it was too much of a hassle to make all the arrangements to go out. I like the idea of beiong able to pause the video, or rewind it if I miss a bit. Plus, the popcorn at my home cinema is a lot cheaper and tastes a lot better!

It is really more enjoyable and fun to watch a movie ina cinema hall or multiplex...but I do not find much time. I see it on TV and DVD that too only quality movies.

I have noticed your advice when you say - "Don't be too tired on your job and relax yourself from time to time. It's good for you".
Thanks for the same!
Have a good day!:)

I don't remember when is the last time saw a movie in the cinema. I think when I first bought my dvd player. And we much prefer it in our home for it' is much cheaper and we can repeat the movie if we like. I just cook their favorite flavor pop corn and put off the lights it's we like in the cinema.

Hi,mexshyl!
Most times,I enjoy DVD at home.Though I should to admit that enjoying the film in the cinema is more formal than enjoying the film at home,but I would like to see a DVD movie at home with my parents or my friends,or just myself.
At home,I can casually lie on the sofa and drink green tea.But I have to sit on my seat in the cinema.I don't like it.LoL

Hello,mexshyl,i will go to the cinemas when i really like that movie or i will buy DVD at home,for some movie,it will be better to go to the cinema because you can enjoy more as in the cinema,you can have better speakers and bigger screen.You may only be able to watch at your small computer screen at home.
I have not been to the cinema for long time,the last one i watched in the cinmea was Rocky VI,i really enjoyed it.

I like to watch movies in cinema hall rather than from dvd's at home.whenever movies of my choice releases i go to theatres with my friends to watch as i like to enjoy the movie with digital surround system and having fun with my friends.
sometimes i watch movies in dvd at home but i have felt the difference as someone always interrupt while watching movies at home.

My husband and i watch a movie in the theater but because the ticket is already expensive we just use dvd rented from blockbuster. We can enjoy watching and eat popcorn. :)

I love to watch the films only in the theatres. But because of time constraints, I may watch the movies in the DVD itself at home. Nothing can match watching the movies at the Theatres at a Big screen, with great audio and with lot of people around.
But the advantage of watching movies at home is that, you can watch the movie at your comfort, which cant be done at the theatres.

I love watching movies at the cinema.. but i don't necessarily have to watch everything that's playing at the time. I just pick and choose.. and whichever movies that i don't have the urgency to see.. i'll just wait till it comes out on tv or DVD..

I was a movie geek before, but I stopped going to cinemas a couple of years ago. Yes! The cost is simply getting higher and higher, plus those old movies which are being revived by movie companies.
I know perfer watching them through cable televisions, sometimes I also get to watch some through DVD's. I don't worry about it much anymore, as long as I know that I get the satisfaction I want everytime I indulge myself into watching movies right at the comfort of my home!;)

I like watching movies at home, because it is more relaxing and lots cheaper. My hubby and I rent the movies from our movie gallery. Going to the movie house here is so expensive.And if you need to get up and use the bathroom you can just pause your movie. But at the movie house you would have to miss parts of it.

The last movie I saw in theatres was Pirates of the Carribbean 2. So that was what, about a year ago? =p
I don't really get a chance to go to the movies because I have a baby and not many babysitting options. So I always watch movies on DVD, or on television. I used to really enjoy going to the movies, and I kind of look forward to when my son is older and I will have more chance to do so.
When I was younger, I went to movies a LOT. I remember going with my friends almost every day of the week for a while, when I had friends who could afford to pay for me every time.

We usually get the DVD when it comes out as it is too expensive for us to go to the theatre. I would love to take my kids to the cinema but the last time we went as a family, it cost us about $50 and that is ridiculous!!
I think that is what we will do tonight is watch Norbitt with Eddie Murphy.

If the film is something that I really want to see, I would go and watch it in the movie theater. But mostly, I just watch films on DVD's.
