Movies

You're not alone. Frankly, it was AMCs fault. I went back for Black Widow and that morning they released the seats around us. ...

Instead of feeling sort of OK about being back, it turned into a crowded and uncomfortable mess we weren't expecting. And all these people had forgotten how to go to a theater. There was talking, people on phones, etc the whole movie. And almost no one masked. We decided to wait till the new year to even think about it again even though we're vax'd and boosted. Frustrating, but what can you do? Had that first time back been different, I suspect we'd have kept going through Fall at least.Ā 

please tell me I'm not the only one not ready to go to the theater yet (even though vaxxed) & will just have to miss out on the Spidey fun {nm} tealfan Dec 16, 11:53

*part of the reason is that my wife had COVID and we don't want to risk going through that again {nm} tealfan Dec 16, 11:53

Some older people yes but for the younger crowd it does not seem to be much of a concern {nm} ad48 Dec 16, 11:59

In a similar boat, have seen *a* movie in a theatre post-COVD (was one of those private rental deals) and the 20 minutes of DUNE... notfabio Dec 16, 12:09

i got West Side Story in on Friday night after getting my Moderna booster and may be the last movie in theaters for me for 2021 (and beyond) {nm} fat bernie Dec 16, 12:12

I still haven't gone back {nm} journey Dec 16, 12:16

I think probably because of the darkened setting/less spatial awareness I haven't been able to talk myself into theatre — movies or concerts {nm} Noah66 Dec 16, 12:47

yikes that was an unpleasant surprise {nm} tealfan Dec 16, 13:10

We haven't been back. Not sure when we ever really will either. {nm} Buckee Dec 16, 13:10

For me it is when my under 5 kid can get vaxxed jlinn Dec 16, 13:14

I've only been back for NO TIME TO DIE and it was strange... SPIDEY is a possibility, though. {nm} cmbastos Dec 16, 13:28

I've gone to a few films but still feel nervous. I was desperate to see Dune in IMAX so I had to sit between people -- ugh. MiyazakiFan Dec 16, 13:32

My Son-In-Law and I have been to 3 or 4 shows over the past 6 months. arbybaker Dec 16, 13:37

We go back to commerical runs 3 times a month. We're vaxed, boosted, wear masks and theaters are very safe {nm} Moviesnob Dec 16, 13:38

Went to INHTS after getting vaxxed. Re-started AMC A-List in June. But I'm lucky to be near a Dine-In with large, spaced-out recliners. Andre C Dec 16, 13:50

also, don't get me wrong...I'm not saying don't go...I was just curious if I was in the minority :) {nm} tealfan Dec 16, 15:09

I don't see a problem as long as you avoid the first couple of weeks and busy time. {nm} booboo Dec 16, 15:31

I'm with you. Have skipped multiple movies I really wanted to see {nm} bchicken Dec 16, 17:09
