It depends. I'll see epic action type movies. Like I want to see Dark Knight and I saw the Pirate movies in theater- but most of the time wait for it on dvd.
movies are fun to go to but your right the price can be bad but if you wait a little bit after the movie comes out in the movie theater some places have theaters that play movies that arent in theaters any more and its cheaper. also sitting at home watching a movie can be fun either works it just depends on wat you want to do.
