Movies: Avengers 4 - Endgame

[Jussi]

Meh some people have small bladders and can’t make it 3 hours without peeing even if they go before and haven’t drank a lot of liquids. Does it really ruin your movie experience when someone walks in front for half a second?

Yes. I feel like tripping them, even if they're kids.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

screw it, make it 5 hours with no intermission...I'll put a damn catheter in

Your theatres haven't converted to all recliners yet?

Couldn't trip someone even if you wanted to at any of my local theatres.

Hell no. The national theater chain Finnkinoo seems to have only one theater with recliners in Helsinki:

Finnkino - Premium-salit

I've seen Ant-Man & The Wasp and Bumblebee in the ISENSE theater room in Turku but CM I saw in 2D in the second biggest screen at the theater with "regular" seats and plenty of leg room due picking the seat in front of the area dividing the seating areas.

This is what all my cinemas look like now. They're so nice it is almost hard to resist going to a show.

Those chairs are more for the 3D, IMAX, and Dolby enhanced movies which ticket prices get beyond the fifteen dollar range (where I live). Dolby enhanced movies are easily the best though, holy smokes just the overall immersion is unbelievable.

Fifteen dollars though. It's just so expensive nowadays, especially for families.

yup, the 3D IMAX theater here in Providence has those seats now. $17 for 3D IMAX is worth every penny

It's more than that, the Dolby ones are also 17 dollars a piece as well as the 3D IMAX @BigBadBruins7708 said above. I rarely go to the movies except ones I really like so I don't mind shelling out the money. I'm fortunate though because the hospital I work at gives me black tickets every handful or so months which reduces the ticket costs by 90%. I get your point though, it is expensive if a family of four ever wanted to watch something like Marvel or Wreck It Ralph in IMAX or Dolby, looking at 68 bucks without popcorn or refreshments.

A 3D showing CM at 17:15 would have cost me €18,40. That's the highest price I've seen. Even the 2D one cost 14 euros in a slightly smaller room. If a movie I want to see arrives at my home town's small cinema, I can get away with just 10 euros.

Yup. I go to Landmark Cinemas in Vancouver & you get the recliner seats for regular movies not just 3D

I know it's not specficially what you're saying but I've never understood people complaining about the price of tickets including concession stand purchases in the price. That stuff is marked up through the roof, if the tickets are already a financial burden then it should be an easy pass. Or in the case of the theater if you have to or want to have a snack it's not that hard to sneak something in.

What I'm really replying to on this family topic pricing I think it's fairly recent but has nobody heard of Cineplex's family day? $3 admission for a Saturday 11:00am screening of movies typically a few months out of circulation. That solves a lot of the pricing issue.

 

[Guardian17]

I hope not. Maybe people could like go to the bathroom before the movie and empty their bladders and not ruin movie experience for others by walking in front of them???!!!?

When you gotta pee, you gotta pee!

There's a ton of ways to get around it that's for sure. As you said, midday showings are always cheaper and you can always sneak food in because majority of the employees are 14 year old high schoolers who don't give a damn (but you can't beat fresh artificial popcorn).

Most of the theaters in my area have a bit of everything. You can get standard with no reclining, 3D with reclining, IMAX, and then the Dolby one. And the ticket pricing will vary depending on the time of day and which experience you want. I think the only thing I don't like about modern movie theaters is the reserved seating and it kind of forces you to purchase way ahead of time in order to get the seats you want

The only bad thing about Alamo is that they didn't have recliners when I saw Captain Marvel thursday. Some Alamos have recliners and this one didn't.

Most of the AMC ones around here do have recliners though. Again, people need to lean back and raise their feet up in the air while watching a movie.

This is what all my cinemas look like now. They're so nice it is almost hard to resist going to a show.

The movie theater next to the Caps arena has this. Other theaters I have seen largely have the recliners on a gradual ramp, not on such a steep slope like this.

Reserved seating is literally the #1 reason why I even go to any movie.

Before it became standard here in the last year or two I probably went to the theatre about 3-5 times in the entire decade.

same. I love being guaranteed being center of the row and in the middle height wise.

 

[discostu]

I like the reserved seating so I can show up right before and not worry about getting a bad seat. The surcharge in ticket price is worth it as I don't need to get the babysitter as early. Where I hate it is when I go to a show with the kids. I usually go to matinees with them when it's not busy (avoiding opening weekends), and occasionally get stuck paying a premium for four people, which gets a little pricey.

They brought these seats to the Cineplex near my place in Calgary too. Used to be just Landmark but nice to see Cineplex upping their game to compete.

I hate that bar though...you can recline or even sitting and it gets in the way of the eye line...seems unnecessary.

Reserved seating is so much better now a days, now there is no worrying about having to show up 2 hours before a big blockbuster to try and get good seats. It is better for theaters too since they can track what is selling out and then book more shows based on demand. Now I can buy my seat a month a head of time and show up a few minutes before and tell the people to move if I have too.

I've never had that issue.

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but personally I never cared where I sit in the the theaters. I liked when I went to the movies, get my tickets and then having the freedom of sitting wherever I wanted. But I will admit it does make sense for the big ticket productions like the Avengers
