Streaming vs Cinema

I spoke to 10 people who go to the cinema on a regular basis, and they gave me advantages and disadvantages of each -streaming and cinema.

Advantages of the Cinema

- Wider screens for a better picture
- Great surround system
- 3D films
- To socialise with people
- Discounts for students
- Wide range of food/drinks

Disadvantages of the Cinema

- Loud, troublesome youths
- Expensive costs
- Sold out screenings
- Lack of hygeine
- Inadequate parking
- Possible ques
- Busy screens therefore bad positioning within the screen
- Rare technical diffulculties

Advantages of streaming

- In the comfort of your own home
- Can watch at your leisure
- Wide range of films
- More convenient
- Less expensive as food is cheaper from supermarkets rather than from the cinema

Disadvantages of streaming

- Piracy which leads to low quality films
- Inadequate sound system
- Small screen
- Not the same atmosphere
- Requires internet connection
- Have to subscribe to Netflix or similar type of companys, and your tied down to the contract

In conclusion, the majority of the people preferred cinema's to streaming as they felt they benefited more from watching a film at the cinema as there is far many advantages than streaming. They also said if streaming became more popular that they would still go to the cinema as they like the whole "cinema experiance"
