Mixer, Cinema vs. DVD

Cinema vs. DVD

-Anita, Taiwan.

What would I rather do, watch a movie on DVD or at the cinema? I think I would rather watch a movie at the cinema because in the cinema they have a really good stereo so you can really enjoy the movie. Of course, watching a movie on DVD is good because you can relax at home but I would choose to spend the money and go to the cinema and have a really good time.

-Martin, United States.

My favorite way to watch a movie is at the cinema. I like the experience of being in a cinema, sitting in those nice comfy chairs, but especially the big screen. I think that's the most important thing as well as the sound in a cinema is a lot nicer than the one in my home, but seeing Laurence on Arabia or any other epic on a big screen is quite the experience and I'm willing to go take the time and see it at the cinema rather than at home.

-Barbara, Australia.

Would I rather watch a movie at the cinema or at home on DVD? Well, I would definitely rather go to the cinema. There's a special magic at the cinema. You know, you're sitting there with your friends and you know, talking before the movie starts and then the lights go down and you've got your popcorn and your soft drinks and everything. That reminds me of, you know, having fun in childhood. If you're at home, you can, with a DVD, you can fast forward or whatever you like. Maybe it's more convenient, but it's just not so much fun.

-Ruth, England.

DVD or the cinema? That's a good question. I mean I really like watching DVDs with my friends. I really like going to someone's house and it's a cheap way of watching a movie but I also really like going the cinema and I really like the atmosphere there. I prefer the atmosphere there to watching a DVD, and the other thing about the cinema is that I concentrate when I'm at the cinema. If I watch a DVD at home. I stop and go and I do some jobs. I can't focus, so I would say that I like the cinema.

-Simon, Canada.

Ah, no question, it's much better to watch a movie in the cinema, movie theater. I mean the screen is ten times as big, the sound system is huge and it's an outing. You know, watching a DVD at home is kind of like watching TV. No big deal.

-Jeannie, United States.

OK, so I prefer to watch movies in a cinema. I love the big screen and the surround sound is great and and I usually like to sit around a lot of people and get their reactions as well as my own. Unfortunately a lot of times, it's just cheaper to see it on a DVD for me because people often give me DVDs as gifts.

What would I rather do, watch a movie on DVD or at the cinema? O que é que eu preferia fazer, ver um filme em DVD ou no cinema? I think I would rather watch a movie at the cinema because in the cinema they have a really good stereo so you can really enjoy the movie. Je pense que je préférerais regarder un film au cinéma parce que dans les cinémas, il y a une très bonne stéréo et on peut vraiment apprécier le film. Of course, watching a movie on DVD is good because you can relax at home but I would choose to spend the money and go to the cinema and have a really good time.

Si vous êtes à la maison, vous pouvez, avec un DVD, avancer rapidement ou faire ce que vous voulez. Maybe it's more convenient, but it's just not so much fun.

Ah, no question, it's much better to watch a movie in the cinema, movie theater. Ah, sem dúvida, é muito melhor ver um filme no cinema, na sala de cinema. I mean the screen is ten times as big, the sound system is huge and it's an outing. Je veux dire que l'écran est dix fois plus grand, le système de sonorisation est énorme et il s'agit d'une sortie. Quer dizer, o ecrã é dez vezes maior, o sistema de som é enorme e é um passeio. You know, watching a DVD at home is kind of like watching TV. Sabes, ver um DVD em casa é como ver televisão. No big deal. Nada de especial.

Adoro o ecrã grande e o som surround é ótimo e, normalmente, gosto de me sentar à volta de muitas pessoas e ver as suas reacções, bem como as minhas. Unfortunately a lot of times, it's just cheaper to see it on a DVD for me because people often give me DVDs as gifts.
