Several are very certain, is much spending money for all that, but it is also true that the experience of sound, image, etc. of the theater is unique, something that at home one can not enjoy unless that on home your family has a kind of movie theater that more or less recreate a cinema technology, so you'll have the comfort of the home & the luxury quality of a theater.
Me, along with my family prefer the cinema however, we have the **** of huge costs that comes with going to the movies, so to avoid all that we create good techniques to have it all:
- Spend on gasoline for the trip to the movies? Choose the mall or place that has a bicycle parking & go in bike, or go walking. Very few places offer the service that for the parking regardless, if one went to see a movie, at the moment of paying the parking, showing the ticket of the function the parking comes free, though, the disadvantage of gasoline remians. If you can, use the method of the bicycle, plus, you do exercise for your health.
- Strange people? Always choose the last function & in a weekday (Monday through Friday). Many people are not encouraged to go so late to see a movie or because they are tired from work, then the theater may be almost empty. If function is for all public; with kids, many or all parents will not go to the function, because it’s very late for their children, probably it will be almost empty too. If anyone has job, tthis option will not work.
- Food very expensive? Food infiltration; the method of my family: With the portfolio of my mother keep all the food we want to take, at the entrance to the movie halls the managers do not usually check portfolios of a woman, so we had no problems & once inside the theater, we wait until the function begins, once that, by the lights off the managers not notice soo easy that it is outside food, believing that there is food bought from food cinemas. You do not pay a penny for food, enjoy the movie & what better way than food from your home.
Alternative 1: If you do not have support from your mother, enlists the help of another woman (older sister, girlfriend, aunt, godmother, whatever) or if you are a woman, repeat the above.
Alternative 2: If you are men & go alone or with friends, try to keep everything into your or some friend clothes & pretend that you or your selected friend are fat, you/he have to act very well the role as a fat person & if all goes okay, you & your friends will enter to the theater without problems, but beware, this method is very difficult.
And in the end with all that saving money, you can pay a good room where the film is in 3-D or other formate that is better than the traditional & maybe then you'll have enough to buy the blu-ray version time after, but already having the satisfaction that in all that time of waiting you've already seen the movie that you wanted to see.
Conclusion: I give a yes to going to the movies, the important is to find ways that can benefit us to make it better, comfortable &
cheap.
