I think it’s a good idea, and the $20 rental is only for whilst it’s in the Cinemas, you know it will drop to $5 at the usual period after release, when it becomes available to purchase too.
It’s cracking for family/group outings, and also for those that just can’t go out for health reasons generally, Not just COVID related.
I wonder if they're even delaying releases because of this.
There’s tons of films delayed... Some films are meant for early next year are also delayed...
For example, Top Gun: Maverick, James Bond: No Time to Die, Black Widow, Tenet, Milan, Eternals, Peter Rabbit 2, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Bill & Ted Face the Music, Morbius, The Many Saints of Newark, Fast & Furious 9, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Jungle Cruise, Uncharted, Fatherhood, The Batman, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Elvis, King Richard, Thor: Love and Thunder, Indiana Jones 5. There’s many more, but hopefully you get the picture.
Christopher Nolan latest film. imax or 55 inch tv with crappy audio ?
Only one winner for me. Not all of us have a state of the art Home theatre system.
Not every town has IMAX, I live in Bracknell, near Reading, my local cinemas don’t have IMAX, Reading is a big town, no IMAX, nearest would be London. I think there’s only about 20 in the UK.
My nearest Odeon is old and tatty, though our Cineworld is fairly new, but has some dodgy screens (I’ve had to complain a few times about screens being dirty, sound being off). Whereas, I have a large 4K TV and decent sound system. As much as there are films I would love to see on the big screen, there are some I’d watch, but not want to make that trip for.
