Click to expand... Really, the prices at my local theater are very reasonable. But, lawd forbid you ever order a soda or popcorn or even candy. Take a man, his wife, and say like (2) kids and one can easily spend $100 in a New York minute. Figure $30-$40 dollars for tickets, then at least another $30-$40 dollars on popcorn, sodas, candy, and etc. Add in gas and such and it does not take long to hit that $100 bill. If I really am hungry I just go to the Burger King which is less than a city block from the theater. Both of which, are merely a mile from my home. Not to mention, I can get a Whopper, small fries, and a small drink for $5.30. As such, every now and then I will go eat at that BK before the movie. Most of the time, I just eat at home. It is very seldom that I eat anything at the theater. Even a small soda is $5! However, I always make sure that I get my points so that eventually I will get a free movie pass. Then, I may get a soda......LOL!!! Have to skip the candy. Cheers, Phil

Most of the ticket sales go to the studios that made the movie, so for the theaters to keep the doors open they rely on food sales.

Kind of makes sense to me. But, there are always alternatives to keeping costs down. I think that I have explored them all........LOL!!!! Cheers, Phil

speakerman39 Audioholic Overlord Feb 10, 2006 10,401 0 113 59 Sep 14, 2018 #30 Got to see this. Found it to be very good. The thing is though you really have to pay attention closely as there is so much going on. Lots of info given throughout. There is no doubt a sequel will be in the works. The special effects/audio were quite good inmho. Highly recommend! Certainly worth my $6! Cheers, Phil Last edited: Sep 14, 2018 Reactions: AcuDefTechGuy and TechHDS

Entertainment is the name of the game. This one looks like 100% FUN. Last edited: Sep 17, 2018 Reactions: speakerman39 and TechHDS

speakerman39 Audioholic Overlord Feb 10, 2006 10,401 0 113 59 Sep 17, 2018 #37 I liked this one a lot. But, the overly explicit sexual language was totally uncalled for inmho. As far as the story-line goes, they just dump a lot of info on you at one time rather than letting things unfold more. It is like the producers are running out of time so they just drop all of it on you instead of it in bits and pieces. Olivia Munn is such a hottie! That is just fine by me.
