I like going to the theaters because it can be fun experience. I don't buy or even watch that many movies at home (not that I go the the theater that often either).
I'll usually buy a used copy of the DVD for around $5. Of watch it on Netflix streaming. We haven't been to the theater in a long time - just aren't any new movies that interest us that much. And we used to go to the theater because it was a pleasant experience, a fun evening out. Now they expect you to watch a ton of commercials first, then put up with cell phone users the whole time - f*** it.
Very few movies are really worth the price, but it's still a cool experience to see movies on the big screen.
Normally I can buy the DVD for the same or even less than going out and seeing the filml, so I wait.
I go about 2 or 3 times a year, and see epic movies only. This year I have seen The Avengers and will see TDK.
Maybe Prometheus.
Otherwise, its not worth it. Plus people seem to have become more annoying. When I saw Star Trek, there were this one person that laughed at literally EVERYTHING, like it was a comedy.
I never go to the movies by myself, I only see movies with friends, and only on 5 dollar Tuesdays.
Only exception was we saw Prometheus at midnight because it came out the same day we graduated high school.
I go to the theater all the time. I love to watch movies with my friends, it's a great experience. It's fun to discuss movies after seeing them on the big screen, or laugh at terrible movies (i.e. Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengence or Pirahna's 3DD). The prices are also quitre reasonable (at least, for anyone with a job), $11 (Canadian) for 2+ hours of entertainment is nothing.

So far no movie IMO in the las 10 years has been good enough to take anyone to the theater or even myself. Nothing seems to have theater quality anymore. Especially for the inflated prices.captainqwark20

I prefer going to the theatre especially for older films, but money shortages over the last couple of years have made this an increasingly rare occurrence and so I have to settle for my lovely affordable streaming services and TCM to keep me overwhelmed with choices.
If it's an awesome movie like Twilight,then yeah I'll watch it in the theatre.

Bro, bro ... what?
I rarely go the cinema these days, it's way too expensive here in Norway. I usually wait for the movies to get on DVD before I see them. The only big minus about that is the time it takes for them to actually get on that format (DVD/BluRay).

I have a standard if I want to go to the theater. It either has to be a very good movie that everyone is talking about and/or a movie that I'm very interested in and has gotten moderate to excellent reviews.
Sometimes, if a movie catches my eye and I have the time and money, I'll go ahead and watch it.
