Dame Helen Mirren says fewer people are going to the cinema because they’re watching films at home on streaming services like Netflix. The actress also believes people watch more movies on their own and says this is “devastating” for film-makers who want their movies to be enjoyed by groups in cinemas. What do you think?

The cinema is better because you can experience the same as everyone else. You can experience the same emotions.

donutlove · 7 years ago

Cinema because it gets more tense and your emotions can be felt more

titmouse · 7 years ago

It's more comfortable at home and you can also spend time with your family while watching the film/movie

dude28899 · 7 years ago

I prefer watching at home since I can watch the movies I want and I can eat the things that the cinema doesn't have.

sethini · 7 years ago

I think the cinema because it is a special thing you can enjoy it as an outing and you can bring your family.

sisterocks · 7 years ago

At the cinema because it is more exiting than watching them at home ? ? and TVs don’t have all of the hottest movies that are new to the cinema.

I think the cinema is definitely better because the screen is much bigger and there is more sound.

marz.smile · 7 years ago

At the cinema as it’s dark, there’s a big screen and it’s just a fun experience for your whole family to enjoy ?. The food is also great from the sweet popcorn to the tangy slush. ?

shreddeddo · 7 years ago

I think at home and you can watch them on the go.

shreddeddo · 7 years ago

But at the cinema the screen is bigger

shreddeddo · 7 years ago

But I still think that at home is better

natalija · 7 years ago

I prefer watching it at home because you can give yourself all the comforts and change them if you don't like it.

ellaelevy · 7 years ago

the cinema because it is a better experience, it has all of the latest movies, but I think it depends on what the movie is.

astro_girl · 7 years ago

Home is better because you can do whatever you like. You can take breaks or sleep if you're tired. You can also eat whatever you like and it is a lot more comfortable than the cinema . Plus in cinemas the movies play way to loudly and hurt my ears but at home you can set the volume however high or low that you want

snufflypug · 7 years ago

The darkness makes the film more mysterious and there's a super big screen!????

bobfm · 7 years ago

The cinema is best as I get popcorn and watching sky cinema is really dull as you get no popcorn!

jaboyth · 7 years ago

I prefer the cinema because there is a bigger screen and i get to eat lots of popcorn!

julio · 7 years ago

you have more time to sit down and watch a movie with your family and you are always able to pause it at home incase you need to go somewhere while the movie is still on.

absdancerx · 7 years ago

Both. I like watching NEW movies in the cinema because the experience is astounding. But, I like watching series and movies on NETFLIX at home

meadwaym · 7 years ago

u get to spend time with your family at the cinema

doctor2010 · 7 years ago

The cinema is better because you can watch movies in 2D , 3D...

ananyaa21 · 7 years ago

I would say home, as it is much nicer to snuggle in your bed and watch a film

cooledie · 7 years ago

I enjoy going to the cinema better because it's cool, the thrill of the cinema, when the lights dim and a voice booms over the speakers, you just can't really get that at home.

jake10 · 7 years ago

Definetly the cinema because it would make an exiting day out

wisecat652 · 7 years ago

Home streaming is quick and easy, but nothing can beat the cinema feel! and popcorn! LOL?

ninjawiz10 · 7 years ago

the cinema is better because you can have 3D and 4D. You experience the movie with a bigger screen

sambrophy · 7 years ago

I like the cinema best because it is more luxurious and it's on a big screen.

cmi_hall1 · 7 years ago

The cinema because you get to experience different feelings that you wouldn't feel at home.

darjap · 7 years ago

I prefer watching movies at home because it is more comfortable and you can spend time with your family.

elephant99 · 7 years ago

The cinema is best because it has a big screen and is a nice experience.

bubbles36 · 7 years ago

The cinema is great! I like to go and see a film with my friends and have a fun. Staying at home all the time is boring so watching new films at the cinema is much more exciting and special.

bubbles36 · 7 years ago

Watching movies at the cinema feels more exciting and special than staying home.

bonjour · 7 years ago

I prefer the cinema because the screen is bigger than at home and the noises are louderas well. Also you can watch in 3-D at the cinema with special glasses which is exciting.

unidist · 7 years ago

you get popcorn.. be realistic....

buddyboi · 7 years ago

As much as I enjoy the cinema, I would rather watch movies at home because of the comforts of the sofa, you don't have strangers sitting with you,and you practiclally do anything you like, without having to worry about strangers looking at you weirdly

gerbil123 · 7 years ago

one of the reasons that i like the cinema is because of the snacks.

RoseBun · 7 years ago

bigger screen at cinema. More exiting because I don't go as often

melon_cow7 · 7 years ago

Home because you can sit under a blanket and get comfy and you can top up your popcorn whenever you want (until the popcorn storage runs out!!??

cookiecrum · 7 years ago

I think at the cinema because you get to see the movies in better quality. Also the movie is played on a bigger screen and the volume is louder. You also can experience the movie in different ways such as in 3D or 4D.

bobthecat6 · 7 years ago

I like it at home because I don't like the lighting and loud noises and I have to wear special things that go over my ears to block out the noise when I go to the cinema.

newsedit · 7 years ago

Cinema, definitely. It’s nice enjoying a movie with lots of other people all feeling what you’re feeling.

tunafish · 7 years ago

I think home because you can snuggle up on the sofa with your family and it is not as expensive

emperor · 7 years ago

catonclan · 7 years ago

cinemas are way better, better picture and better feel.

fluffy14 · 7 years ago

at the cinema because then you can het excited to go to the cinema as well as watching a film whereas at home you just turn on the TV and watch a film.

bubble33 · 7 years ago

I voted cinema - you can watch tv anytime, but going to the cinema...? no. So, it's a really fun experience! but, they should show old films too.
[also...you get pocorn!!!!!!]❤️❤️❤️???
???!!!!!!

norensanz · 7 years ago

Depends

libskhan · 7 years ago

at home because it is cheaper than the cinema

daisy101 · 7 years ago

Th cinema is better because you get the full experience

firegirl16 · 7 years ago

It's more comfy at home. You can invite friends and family over to watch it with you. There might not be any good films in the cinemas, whereas you can choose to watch a good film at home.

buster_08 · 7 years ago

The screens bigger at the cinema and it's more realistic but at home it's comfier and no one can Disturb you or kick your seat.

buster_08 · 7 years ago

At the cinema because it's the big screen that makes it realistic. That's why you go to the cinema.

Kookoo45 · 7 years ago

The cinema has better lighting sound and seating, You can enjoy the movie with more friends and family and I think it's an overall better experience in a cinema.

mayasoccer · 7 years ago

Only coz of the choc tops here in Australia! They are the best thing ever created. English ppl, imagine ice cream dipped in chocolate... ?

ysiad1 · 7 years ago

I already have a huge screen at home and if you are at the cinema you can't turn make the volume louder or pause it. However, if you watch all of the movies at home then you are having to wait so long until the film is released on DVD. Also at the cinema you have to pay much more than the price of the film

missgalaxy · 7 years ago

Obviously the cinema! You just get a buzz from watching the film and feel everyone elses tensions. The cinema wasn't invented to be a back up for netflix, it was invented to enjoy quality time with your family watching a film that people have put effort into showing.

bubblyball · 7 years ago

I prefer the cinema because you can see 3d things there!

puppylove9 · 7 years ago

The Cinema because it is louder and fun and you get to go out

busyboy4 · 7 years ago

At the cinema you have to leave the house and sometimes sit on uncomftable seats but at home you can just sit on the sofa and relax

epicvader · 7 years ago

The cinema because you get a much better experience, and it is much more like a treat.

holholster · 7 years ago

I prefer watching movies at a cinema, because it is a more exhilarating environment there, as well as there are other people and loud surround sound.

samuel08 · 7 years ago

Its better to watch it at home because the whole family can see it

xcurlysuex · 7 years ago

I prefer the cinema. Cinemas cost a lot, so i stream them at home and watch them with my family most of the time. I love the cinema though!

synchro101 · 7 years ago

AT THE CINEMA!!!! Because I’m only aloud popcorn ? when I go to the cinema plus even though you are watching a movie ? it gets you out of the house ? even if your local cinema is just down the road ??

irock122 · 7 years ago

I said at the cinema as its a treat, and u can watch movies any time at home.

unicorn3 · 7 years ago

At home because it is more comfortable and you can get up to get more snacks or talk as loudly as you want during the movie.

ciarza123 · 7 years ago

You could argue this either way because at the cinema theres a bigger screen but I would say at home because its your own house and you can pause the movie if you want and not miss it but at the cinema you can't.

jiffpom972 · 7 years ago

At the Cinema. It’s more exciting and has a welcoming sense of community.

Magic10 · 6 years ago

We’re becoming too antisocial, and I’m guilty of that too, but we need to improve
