The shared experience with the audience. Watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 might have been fun at my house, but it was a crazy wild experience at the packed theater of screaming and crying fans.
- Big screen
- SOUND
- Theater nachos
- Silenced phone
- Audience laughter, gasps, tension
- Seeing trailers for movies you never would've heard of (for better or worse)
- Leaving the theater floating on cloud 9
Sitting in the air-conditioned dark in comfortable seats/recliners.
The communal experience.
The excitement of the new.
Seeing/hanging with friends and fellow film critics.
