Top 10 Reasons Modern Movie Theaters Suck – Cinemassacre

Man, what I would give to just go to the movies and just have a normal experience for a good price again.

lol complaining about ads then putting a ad , i mean i get it , but irony?

The price, the crappy food and the fact that the audience has been one entitled and rude. It’s should be a great experience for all, not just some. That’s what really sucks!!

Ok, who needs a whole restaurant for a fucking movie? In my country (Argentina) is simple as shit, you buy the ticket before the movie starts, you get some popcorn or a soda… and you sit and watch the whole thing, there is no "In between pauses for snacks". What are people really that desperate for something to eat that they can't buy it BEFORE the movie starts? It just sounds overly complicated. Why do you need to pause in mid movie for something? sounds like there is a lack of attention spam with that system.

Yo James fun fact about those free style machines it's cokes way of getting new flavors

Also- after the death of many chain artisan theaters that created the "dine in" experience that the corporate conglomerate theaters lifted off of their corpse, the thing that replaced the old school "dollar theaters" for late run post theaterical release movies with smaller screens and lower audio setups are still to this day alive in the replacement that are the art theaters and the indie alternative theaters. Drive in theaters are still alive and the best choice, because unlike everything else during the farce of the pandemic, the drive in was BOOMING. Great food for a fair price, local food trucks, you can smoke in your car and not bother anyone, and everything is 4K digital on the projection side with modern releases with digital audio over short range low band FM. You really can't beat it if there's a classic they're rescreening or a modern release you actually want to see at a drive in.

I'm literally not going to the theater as often because (1) the standard theater picture sucks… the picture is dark because the bulbs probably need to be changed – and image quality can be fuzzy looking. It's like fast food where you get a squished sandwich that looks nothing like it should – and nobody seems to care. (2) the commercials suck worse than ever because they're bigger and louder in the theater. And the people yackin' on their phones aren't much better (3) the chairs suck – they can be broken and aren't even that comfortable (4) the movies themselves are derivative and often unoriginal. I don't often take a chance on a movie – because of the reasons I just said but also because the movies themselves seem to be less inspired.
I agree with James 100%: if the theater companies want to make more profit, heck even survive into the future, they need to laser focus on the basics. Offer only a few food options, and focus on the basics of the experience (picture, food quality, comfort) because what's going on these days just isn't working.

I’m disappointed you didn’t mention the loud chewers and mouth breathers

where is the old folk song and the Bull Shit man?
