What's your favorite part about going to the theater?
“I like the fact that you're totally immersed in the film, right? The darkness surrounded by sound. Everyone is focused on the action.” ~ David Kilroy
​
“As someone who enjoys visually seeing the stories with my own eyes rather than listening or reading to them, I also love every aspect of a typical movie theater, from the big screen to the incredible sound system. They all work together to provide the best experience that one will never have at home. Myself, I view theaters to be essential for action—films like that Top Gun: Maverick—because they take these to a whole new level, in my own opinion.” ~ Ned
​
“My favorite part of going to the theater is sitting down in like the chairs that like fall backwards, and you can just relax and enjoy the movie” ~ Emily Troy
​
“My favorite part of going to movie theaters is basically just like […] going to a movie theater like being able to relax and watch a movie on a big screen. I really enjoy that. And it's just something I like to do with like friends and family.” ~ Nick Stabile
​
“It's just like, I feel like it's just a better—not a better experience—but a more fulfilling experience, because you're not only … if you go to an AMC and not Regal the chairs are great. You get to recline, you get to sit back, enjoy. You can bring a blanket. It's like more of like a homey experience, you know? You feel more like at home. And then obviously the food. And then you know the surround sound, I mean, come on! And if you do 3-D—I don't know if you like 3-D—it gets even better! Like I just think movie theaters are the place where you can go to just kick back and relax a little bit, you know? Forget about life, but do it fancy” ~ Bruna Azevedo

“My favorite part of going to the theater is, especially when I go with my family, is having quiet time, and the build up to the movie with all the commercials. I know a lot of people don't like that, but I actually do like it because it builds up to the excitement of the movie.” ~ Uri

“It was always sort of fun at the movie theatre because it had an arcade that I would love to go and play there” ~ Anon 3
