Cinema Experience All to Myself š¦
Hello amazing people :)!
*This is my first post in this community :)!
Today I went to the cinema to watch the new āDeadpool & Wolverineā movie ( spoiler alert it completely lived up to my expectations). Thereās something about sitting in a cinema that always excites meāthe anticipation of watching a film unfold on the big screen, itās art really.
However, this time, it felt strangely different? I was the only person in the theater, just me the massive screen and pitch black..
Letās talk about the movie for a bit :). The film itself was brilliant! The crossover between those two characters who mind you have completely different personalities, was hilarious & their dynamic was very interesting.
Deadpoolās witty, fourth-wall-breaking humor (I love when they interact with the viewer and acknowledge usš) was sharper than ever (IP infringement, Disney - Fox buyout etc), and Wolverine brought that gritty, no-nonsense attitude that balanced out the chaos. The plot kept moving without feeling rushed and the storyline was just perfect. The movie did a fantastic job of bringing together two iconic characters, and for anyone who loves either, it was a movie worth watching.
Despite how much I enjoyed the film, sitting alone in that empty cinema got me thinkingā¦ Since COVID-19, it feels like people have stopped going to theaters. With the rise of streaming services, why leave the comfort of home, right? And yet, thereās something about that shared experience, sitting in a full theater, that streaming at home just canāt replicate. The laughter, the gasps, the collective excitement when a major plot twist hitsāthose moments feel lost now.
The only time I can remember seeing a theater packed recently was during the Barbenheimer craze. People were excited, almost as if going to the movies was a new it thing. That buzz, that excitement people hadāitās something I truly miss.
Hereās to hoping the magic of cinema makes a full comeback soon :).
Empty cinema is like a home cinema, right? :)
Definitely š
