Movies Past and Future Formats Changing with the Times
Movies have long been a favorite of many people and through the years they have gone to theaters and paid the price as costs rose over the years to where it can amount to the price of paying a bill.
It is not unusual today to pay fifty to one hundred dollars for a night out at the movies, with dinner, admission tickets, along with soft drinks and goodies for during the movie and then add the price of today's price at the gas pump.
The next adventure in movies was the VCR and renting movies, while this was much cheaper everyone has rented movies that one of two things happened, they either had been used so many times that they do not play right after everyone is ready to spend the evening watching the selected movie.
The second problem with renting movies of course is life, life is busy and one of two things happen, either everyone is two busy to watch the movie in the allotted amount of time or the movie is totally forgotten when it is time to return it and there is a extra fee that is incurred for a movie you had no time to watch.
Then their came the DVD player and this was great, clear movies as long as the disk was taken care of, this includes rentals.
There of course is problems with this also, unless you have seen a movie and then buy the DVD you are going to spend approximately twenty dollars for a movie that you think or have heard might be good and when it is not something that you would normally watch it is money down the drain.
None of this is a problem today with the choices in movie channels that can be found on television and with the right choice in providers and packages such as the ones Direct TV can offer will give the family that loves to watch movies many of these movies in high definition and that alone will bring the movie right into the room.
Its is better than being at the theater in many respects, comfortable seating, no high priced soft drinks and snacks, no one pushing past or talking during the movie and a picture that is unbelievably clear along with Dolby sound.
The choices are there and from the evidence many people are choosing to watch movies at home with a high definition television and leaving the rental places for those who have not invested in a satellite movie package.
