I saw the M. Night Shyamalan Avatar movie in theaters when I was a kid who was obsessed with Avatar. I knew the movie was going to be bad but I loved the series so much there was a bit of me that hoped it was going to be okay but no, it was even worse than my worst expectations, and completely disrespected all the characters and the series as a whole. I have seen worse movies both in and out of theaters, but the combo of my sheer love of the Avatar franchise and just how much this movie sucked plus being in a theater unable to just turn it off or leave was pretty rough.

If we're talking in the past few years, I would say the worst theater experience was watching another terrible movie, Midway (2019), while some teens behind me were doing hand stuff to each other and not being particularly subtle about it.

Just Pocahontas in space!

Seriously though, I never saw the show but when the earth stompers in the movie used five minutes of coordinated dance to hurl a few rocks it had a moment of comedy gold.

I could probably handle it and find humor in it now but at 12 years old or however old I was when this happened I was not able to see the absurdity and humor of the situation
