If you were not already hacked-off with the cost of petrol or public transport getting to the cinema, the cost of the ticket to get in, the price of those essential sugar-filled snacks has skyrocketed!
The cost of going to the cinema has spiralled to a point where, if you have a family, the choice is a Saturday night out at the flicks or a week in Tenerife.
Yes. The seats are wide and comfy, but they still have chewing gum on them.
Compare and contrast with the home cinema experience. From a cost perspective alone, home cinema offers unbelievably better value entertainment for the entire family.
Services like LoveFilm offer unlimited movie rentals for just a tenner a month, and a media streamer like Apple TV allows you to download and watch HD movies instantly for as little as 99p each.
Factor in the cost of petrol, parking, tickets, drinks, snacks and even maybe merchandise when taking the family to the flicks, and you could buy a stunning home cinema system, including blu-ray player, surround sound amplifier and speakers, for less than the cost of a dozen visits.
I can’t vouch for your sofa, but mine is pretty comfy and does not have chewing gum on it. My popcorn is freshly-made, and all my fizzy drinks and chocolate goodies come from the supermarket where every little helps.
My home cinema comfort is further enhanced by as much leg-room as I want, the perfect room temperature and, most importantly, the ability to press pause when you need a toilet break.
Given the choice of burning a couple of gallons of petrol driving to the cinema and back, or spending the fiver on a bottle of plonk for the movie – I go for the headache in the morning every time.
The screen is at an ideal distance and in glorious high definition and the volume level suits everyone (well, except the dog!)
When you add it all up, it’s difficult to see why anyone would ever go to the cinema again…
