I just watched Project Hail Mary in the theater... First movie I ever seen in a theater... What movies have you seen in theaters? Or do you have a home theater? Or just watch on tv/laptop? (sh.itjust.works)

Btw idk why I have anxiety the entire time... (no, not anxiety about the plot... like just random anxiety) but besides that....

Great experience (ish... I rather own a movie theater and have it all by myself so I don't have so much anxiety)

BIG SCREEN

My favorite sequence was when:

SPOILERSRocky risks his life to save Grace

I like the sequence of like the darkness and then a flash of light to show whats going on... that was so cool

I love the moments of silence...

So much different from just watching it on a 15.6 inch screen + headphones at home... (and also I'd have to wait for home release...)

(Put any spoilers in tags pls)

Edit: Also I was gonna take a photo of the theater and like the outside areas after you check in... and also like the mall area and stuff... but I kinda forgot due to anxiety... lol

Edit2: ALSO: I missed so much dialogue because my ears suck lol. I thought my English was good having arrived at 8 years old but apparantly not lmfao

Need a rewatch later at home (when home release comes out) WITH SUBTITLES

I haven't been to a theater in many years. Maybe, just maybe Spaceballs II will get me there.

For this movie, I can't justify the expense and hassle of going to a theater to potentially have a poor experience. Especially with a popular movie, I expect the theater to be crowded, or at least more so than my living room. Also, everything else--can't pause the movie to go to the bathroom, can't rewind the movie to see or hear what I missed, snacks are ridiculously expensive, people sitting in front of me, people talking, and like you said, no subtitles, etc.

Nope, I'll wait. I read the book, I know what happens.

theater to be crowded

Actually it wasn't that crowded

Cuz its 3'o clock on weekday xD (also like a week late so that's also why, didnt find the time till now)

snacks are ridiculously expensive

The Asian experience is that you just eat before you go to the theaters lmfao fuck them overpriced popcorns and drinks that make you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the movie.
