Have you ever been to a 3-D movie?

Yesterday, I went to see my first 3-D movie ever...Hotel Transylania. I wanted to take my niece out for a treat, and I would have enjoyed the experience more, if it hadn't been for the 26 bucks for two tickets...and then another 12.50 for a medium popcorn and a medium Coke to split between us! It's POPCORN for cripes sake...not sirloin tip! We were going to go out for pizza afterwards...but I had only brought 40 dollars with me...I was kind of embarrassed...

    I do not enjoy 3D movies. Most of the time I don't think it really adds to the plot. Next time I will ask for children's glasses and see if they fit better. It annoys me when the bigger glasses sit on my face.

    We try to go before 4:00 p.m. when the movies are often cheaper. Certain days are also less expensive. Not weekneds, that's for sure. Plus I always ask for my senior citizen discount.

    We get small popcorn and pop for the simple reason that we never eat it all. We sneak in a candy bar or fruit, too.

    How was the movie, btw?

    I went to see the first 3-D movie that ever came out. I can't remember the name of it, but it was about Africa. It had Robert Stack in it. I also saw one about a roller-coaster, and it made me have motion sickness. The 3-D theaters they have today make the illusion better, but I still don't think it's worth the price. You have to pay extra for the cheap glasses, and if you go to the concession stand, that's more than the cost of a ticket. I think I'll just sit at home and watch Netflix.

    At model village in Devon,there is a small picture house on the site and every hour or so,it's shows a short picture,Sherlock Holmes when I was there. Great special effects,one he was falling off something and the cinema seats dropped slightly,he ran through a pool and fine mist of water seemed to hit your face,other effects as we. I enjoyed it,vastly different from the old 'bug huts' 3-d's of the 50's.

    $40, that's around £25, that was an expensive afternoon/evening out

    that is extra effective to envision cost ticket sales truly that ask some human beings on-line how they experience about some thing. 20 solutions at the instantaneous are not likely to grant you a superior experience about the inhabitants often. the reality is that there is adequate human beings that like 3-D to keep it going so a procedures. Theater rooms exhibiting 3-D are out promoting theater rooms exhibiting that similar action picture in second. practically all cities which have a three-D exhibiting of a movie have it in second besides, and at many mutiplexes both variations are exhibiting. So convinced there are a superior form of poeple determining on the three-D version over the second one version. that is no longer like the entire usa is going loopy to purchase tickets for 3-D videos, yet adequate are exhibiting up for the showings to make it a superior funding.

    I don't buy the junk food at the concessions stands. My ma didn't, so I think maybe that's why I don't.

    I don't understand how people think they have to eat when they are in an inactive position (?)

    But our local theaters charge extra for the 3-D viewings & they charge for the 3-D glasses on top of that.

    I once tried the 3-D viewing with the glasses & it made my head spin. I had to take the glasses off. But the viewing was blurry.

    I don't think I will go to another 3-D show until they come up with better technology.

    That's one "pleasure" I'll have to forgo.

    I have monocular vision (I see with one eye. When it gets tired, I switch to the other eye).

    If you don't have binocular vision, you can't see anything in 3-D properly.

    It's all fuzzy and gives me a headache.

    I no longer buy snacks at the theater due to the cost AND my diabetes.

    When getting tickets, I try to get the senior discount or check things like Groupon for 1/2 price tickets.

  • Yes I have seen one, but I really don't like going to movie theater for that reason you stated...to costly!!! I don't think I would have spent that much on tickets let alone the popcorn and pop!!

    I remember The House of Wax with Vincent Price. In one scene, someone is batting a rubber ball and it felt like it was coming right at us in the audience. I didnt know they still made them. Do you have to wear the red paper glasses?

    Yes I have, I go to the matinee for six bucks and don't purchase goodies and it turns into a cheap day out.
