Movies and motion pictures are a great source of entertainment. Many people think they do not require to go to theatres to watch films as they can see it on their mobile devices. But others believe that cinemas are only the place where movies can be enjoyed the most. Although the revolution in electronic devices has facilitated people to watch movies in phones, in my opinion, films can only be enjoyed in theatres because these are made only for this purpose.

Advances in electronic gadgets and communication technologies have made it easier to watch movies from home. About a decade ago, mobiles’ storage space had been less, screens were small, and the internet could barely download a movie within twenty-four hours. But now, mobile phones come with hundreds of gigabytes of storage capacity that can store thousands of movies. Besides, its high-resolution screens allow viewers to see a clear picture. High-speed internet facilitates people to watch any movie online. The fourth-generation (4G) internet enable people to download any movie within minutes or watch it through live streaming. Moreover, services such as Netflix and amazon prime allow people to see any newly released movie with a meagre monthly subscription fee. All these facilities make people think that visiting cinemas is futile when they have mobile phones.

However, the infrastructure and technology of cinemas are unmatchable and made only to entertain people. Theatres are equipped with wider screens that can be a thousand times bigger than mobile phones, which do not cause strain to the eyes of audiences and show everything clearly with high-definition quality. Mobiles phones can never emulate the sound clarity of theatres. Cinemas have three-dimensional sounds that mimic real-life auditory experiences. Also, the ambience of cinemas is created in a way that fully indulges audiences in the movie. Unlike mobile phones, there is no disruption if someone calls on the mobile; people can switch off the phone while watching movies in a theatre, which is not possible if they see a movie on the mobile. Moreover, now, many cinemas provide virtual reality and three-dimensional picture facility that make movies interactive; people start feeling like that they are a part of the film. However, there is no such facility in mobile devices.

In conclusion, electronic gadgets such as mobiles, tablets and phablets have developed to the extent that people can watch any movie by sitting at their homes. But it cannot make movies as enjoyable as theatres because cinemas are equipped with more advanced screens and sound technologies that grab the whole attention of people and indulge them in the film. Therefore, to enjoy a movie the most, people should go to cinemas.
