Theatres here still have kids and cellphones going off. Combined with ushers walking up and down the aisle, people scooching by to go to the restroom, employees checking the emergency exits at the side of the screen and there's no clear winner. There's still some movies I want to experience on the big screen, with insane audio, and D-BOX seats. But for the most part movies at home still win due to the ability to pause and agoraphobia.

I've only watched about 5 movies in the last 2 years, but 3 out of those 5 were completely empty, 1 was packed and somewhat noisy, and the other was full but silent (but my experience might also be skewed because the theatre within walking distance of my apartment was not that kid friendly being in a restaurant/bar district downtown and serving alcohol on premise.

Movie ushers? What century was the last time you visited the theatre? I go to a lot of movies, and outside of a couple of special events, I've never seen an usher in the theater. Yes, cell phones and it's might be an issue, but they are fairly rare. Unless you can built a $100k theatre room, there is definitely a clear winner. But if course it isn't for everyone.

  Sure maybe usher was an antiquated term, but I was talking about the employees that come in and walk up and down, making sure things are in order. > Unless you can built a $100k theatre room, there is definitely a clear winner. But if course it isn't for everyone. Exactly, I don't think every movie I watch needs a 100K screen, at all.

Apart of the employees Checking every 30ish minutes my local regal is nothing but respectful people. Helps that there’s room to walk down the aisle with the seats fully reclined and they only hold about 100 people max. I’ve been going way more since I got moviepass
