Whether you are going out with friends or going on a first date, you could always head to the movies. You could also stay inside your own home and watch a movie there. Here are three reasons why watching a movie at home might be the better choice.
Better Sound Control
Have you ever been in a big theater with just a few people? How about an overcrowded theater where you can’t hear the movie? Watching a movie at home allows for better sound control. Adjust the bass to get the most of the adrenaline pumping moments or turn down the volume for a more intimate experience when there are just a couple people there.
Cheaper and More Convenient Date Nights
A date night out at the movies can easily cost close to $50 after you buy movie tickets, popcorn, drinks, candy, and nachos. That’s not even including gas money or parking, depending on what city you live in. You can watch a movie at home for free when using a streaming service such as Netflix or HBO Go. You could also rent a movie for under $10 on Amazon Instant Video. Instead of paying the outrageous costs involved with going out to a movie, you can download a movie at home, grab a bottle of wine and some snacks, and still be saving money.
Another advantage of home movies is the fact that you can watch it at any time you so desire. Movie theaters require you to get there at a certain time otherwise you might miss the beginning of the movie. In addition, if you need to use the restroom during the movie you will miss a part of it also. Home movies eliminate the issue of time completely. At home, you can start and pause your movie at any time you wish!
Sit More Comfortably
Watching a movie from the comfort of your own home is going to be a much more comfortable experience for you and your date or your friends. Go ahead: bring pillows and blankets. Lay across the floor or sit in your favorite recliner. Curling up and watching a movie in your pajamas wrapped in your favorite blanket or cuddling on the floor with your significant other trumps watching a movie in a theater with a sticky floor and people texting or talking all around you.
Going to the movies can be a great hangout activity with your friends or a date night with your significant other. What can make it even better is if you aren’t paying a lot of money for tickets and treats, and if you are able to adjust the sound attributes, volume, and frequency depending on the movie you are watching. There are advantages to swapping out the silver screen for the small.
