Television and computers make accessibility of movies into much easier, in comparison to the need of going for theaters to watch films. However, televisions and computers might not completely disregard cinemas. Cinemas often offer enhanced experience of movie sightings, along with social factor that plays in movie-goers This essay will discuss the continuing reign of popularity levels of cinemas.
Theaters have a better set-up for audio-visual medias. Larger scale requires more advanced technicalities, which cinemas often accommodate. This can be seen when we go for movies in theaters, it shows crisp resolution and satisfying audio experience (usually Dolby provides the audio, which is renown for its superb quality). Additionally, some theaters have 3Dimension (3D) and 4Dimension (4D) option for the movies, where we could watch the movies in 3D format and feel the environmental changes in the movies (water splash when rain scenes and such). These experiences and technologies are not that feasible to be installed in majority of homes.
Social needs also contribute to number of movie-goers. Going for films in theaters, is one of the ways to spend quality time with others, also to catch up with newly-released movies. Such activity provides entertainments to group of friends, couples, families and other social circles. Personally, when hanging out with friends, I feel like it would be more comfortable to spend the time on other places, because if I hang out with my friends at home, it might cause noise which lead to discomfort to other family members. With the need for socializing, I think theaters would continue as one of the places to go during leisure.
For the reasons mentioned above, I believe theatrical movies could still prove to be popular in the upcoming periods for go-to activity during leisure. Technological advancements also might occur due to the competition between movie-screening companies, thus making the experience in cinemas more enjoyable as time goes.
