I went to the movies today to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
We sat down in the second row from the front (like to be close to the action.) A few minutes into the movie, the guy behind us started making comments about what was happening on the screen.
"Uh,oh!" "That had to hurt!" "Look at that!" etc.
We looked back a couple of times, but to no avail. So we got up and moved: bad decision.
The lady and her husband next to me kept "whispering," and he kept telling her what was happening or what he believed would happen next.
The couple behind us had a three- or four-year-old who (like any young child) talked through the whole movie. "Is that Captain America?" "Is it over?" (That one possibly 100 times.) "When can we go?" Plus, she obviously was very sick judging from the deep, congested cough we heard every minute or so. I know it wasn't her fault. I just wanted to turn around and hand them a twenty-dollar bill and say, "Next time, just get a babysitter. Please."
My whole movie experience was ruined. I couldn't focus on the story due to all the noise around us. I just don't get it. Do they think they're in their living rooms at home, and other people can't hear them? Do they think other patrons like hearing their comments and noises? I understand I can't have complete quiet, but c'mon.
Also, I know I could've gotten up to get an usher, but then I'd have had to miss more of the movie. Plus, you never know how people will react...
Anyway, thanks for listening. I plan to see the movie again when there will be fewer people in the theater.
