Would you rather watch a movie alone in a theater or online if they cost the same? Let’s start with some pros and cons of watching a movie alone in a theater. 

Pros: There’s the experience of watching a movie. The sound is great and the screen us huge. You have comfortable chairs and there aren’t many distractions. Movie theaters make you stay quiet and put your phones on silent. You are alone and that means that probable no one will sit next to you. This lets you do some stuff like using all the cupholders and armrests. You can buy theater popcorn and drinks. 

Cons: Many people like to watch a movie with their family or friends. Being alone isn’t great for everyone. The sound can sometimes be too loud, but you can’t do anything about it. If you have to use the bathroom, then they won’t pause the movie. You just miss a part of it. The snacks and drinks are very expensive. The tickets are also really expensive. If there are a lot of people, then you’ll have to sit next to some people who you don’t know and that can be very awkward. 

Now lets go over the pros and cons of watching a movie alone online. 

Pros: It will be in your house, so you can act however you like, dress in whatever (even nothing), and you can mess with the movie. Turn up and down the sound and pause it if you need to do something. You can buy whatever snacks you want beforehand which are also probably cheaper than they are at a theater. You can recline on your couch if you wanted to and use blankets. No one else is there to tell you to stop. You can get the movie for cheaper and keep it forever.

Cons: Like I said before, many people like to watch a movie with their family and friends. Not everyone likes to be alone. The screen is smaller, so you might miss something important. There could often be many distractions from the outside world. Surround sound in a movie theater is great, but you don’t have that at home. Unless your rich and built a small theater into your house. 

In conclusion, I need to answer the question. Would I rather watch a movie alone in a theater or online if they cost the same? I would rather watch a movie alone online. The experience at a theater is great, but everything is cheaper not at a theater.
