For many years, going to the cinema with friends and family to watch new films has been a tradition that lots of people love. Not only is it a great experience to sit in comfortable seats and eat a bag of popcorn, but it's a chance to watch the latest films on the big screen. However, with the growth of streaming services in recent years, some people have realized it's easier to watch films in their own home. Now more and more people would rather watch movies at home than at the cinema. What do you think of it? Is the cinema the best place to watch films?
Yes—it's an amazing experience. Going to the cinema is a really fun activity to enjoy with friends and family. It's a good time to leave the house, enjoy a film with other people, and even eat some delicious popcorn. Also, nothing beats the experience of the big screen and audio in the cinema. It's much easier to be troubled by other things at home, like someone wanting to stop the film to get a drink. Seeing a film at the cinema stays away from troubles. It requires your full attention and it makes you feel special.
No—it's too expensive. It can cost a lot of money to go to the cinema, especially when the whole family is going together. People have to pay for not only tickets but also snacks and drinks. Most popular films usually run in the cinemas for around four weeks, and sometimes ▲ before they're available on streaming services. In 2022, Lightyear was on in American cinemas on 17 June, but people could watch it online only several weeks later. Watching films on the streaming service is much easier, because people have more control when they watch the films and can stop them whenever they like.
