What do you complain about the most?
This question popped up as a prompt so I thought I would make it cinema related and put in my biggest complaints about going to the cinema!
Empty Screen – Some booking the sit next to/behind/infront of you!
Seriously what makes someone decide that in a big and empty screen with maybe 10 people already booked in, to then book the seat right next to you? It’s just super strange behaviour and one of the things that has made me now book my ticket about five minutes before the film starts. As let’s face it the number of seats in so many cinema screens now is so huge that having them fully booked out doesn’t happen all that often. Not at my local Cineworld anyway. The same for when only a few people are booked in, yet all 6 in 2s across three different rows is another werid booking thing that blows my mind. I mean you have chosen your own seats for years now.
Phones
This has been an issue for so many years now, since the introduction of smartphones and the obsessive nature that we all use them. Don’t get me wrong during the ever increasing number of adverts and the fact that 95% of the time I go to the cinema alone I do use my phone up until that point. But constantly using them throughout the film is frustrating as they always completely light up and cause a distraction! Due to this it has also added to my booking five minutes before start time, to sit closer to the screen to avoid that happening as let’s face it I would never actually say anything to anyone.
Adverts after the trailers!
Not sure if this is just a Cineworld thing, as I can’t remember if there was more adverts on my last Odeon trip. We have all been so used to adverts, then the good part of the trailers as come on we want to see what is coming soon. Then settle into the film, but no not know we then get two or three more adverts after the trailers, even though this has been going on for a while now it is still super annoying.
Big gap from US to UK release
Now this is something that isn’t as bad as it used to be for the “bigger” more blockbuster type films which get worldwide release at the same time, but when you get into some of the smaller and more independent films we still have quite a gap when it comes to the awards season films as well (which is personally one of my favourite times of year, and an attempt to watch all of the Oscar Best Picture nominees before the ceremony).
