I saw Spider-Man No Way Home on premiere night in a packed theater so I was obviously expecting some cheering, excitement etc. but there was a group of 6-10 high schoolers who kept yelling out jokes as loud as they could and then would repeat them if they no one laughed (and no one did) they were shushed multiple times by different groups. They threw popcorn at anyone who shushed them and the theater staff/managers did absolutely nothing. Multiple left the room to tell them and they did absolutely nothing. I’d never been more pissed off during a theater experience Great vid Jakob 🎉
I saw Marvels Civil War at IMAX, and this dude in front of me pulled out a phone, and started watching baseball. Luckly, he was surrounded by people who were not donw with that, and we bullied him into compliance.
Here’s the thing. I’m the cinephile of the group and so sometimes my friends just ask me like “wait whose the actor?” Or like “Isn’t she the one from that one show?” And I just whisper “yeah” or “he’s also in this other movie”. Sometimes when we watch marvel films and they are like “who that character?” And I try to explain it the most quiet way but like my friends are use to asking questions all the fucking time and it’s a bit annoying
It's not the same anymore, even the decor at least in my local theaters has become gray and stale. Bring back the fun designed carpets and good original films! Looking forward to The Substance though.
My theater is struggling to the point where they decided it was a good idea to make the lobby an arcade like Dave And Busters. Every time I go, no one uses the games...
I can attest to this when I worked at a movie theater. We were one of the only theaters in the area that didn't have the reclining seats yet, and our ticket sales suffered because of that. It wasn't until we got the new seats in that we got higher ticket sales again.
I recently had to ask a friend to stop talking during the movie. She then tried to negotiate with me an acceptable level of talking and I had to tell her none.
Great video! When I was watching Uncharted with my dad, there was a group of middle schoolers who talked during the whole movie and even spilled their coke. My father couldn't hold it, and eventually, he told them to shut up. Finally, they decided to leave, but the movie was ruined for me.
8:27 nah bro this is genuine criticism and I am totally with you, if I have to be "mr i hate fun" then sign me up lmao. It feels bleak and dystopian you're right
Another excellent video from Jakob Ross Film Guy. From my personal experience, people that work the theatre don’t care as much either. I remember the front speaker sounding off during the previews (which I assumed was probably some sort of setting). I went to get someone, they came in and said they didn’t hear anything wrong and left. So the whole time, all the dialogue in the movie had this distorted echo to it.
I love your editing. This video reminds me of when I saw Dune 2. The film had already been out for a while and the theater I chose at the time no one really went to, so it was empty. I was pretty invested, but I kid you not, a group of people came in at the last 45 minutes. It didn’t totally took me entirely out of the movie, but definitely distracted. I pray we all have better experiences that won’t keep us from seeing awesome movies
Thanks for this vid. I go out to see films less and less often because assholes young and old are talking or have their extremely bright phone screens out in my peripheral vision the entire time. I'm not gonna pay a ticket price I can't afford just to be unable to hear or focus on the damn film because of awful people being awful
what you said about family films now is so true, I went to go see the Garfield movie and the whole theater was just kids who would not shut up, my fault for going opening weekend but it was a 9:30 showing, like why is your 6 year old staying up till 12 for Garfield😭
I recently went to go see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and while i found the film to be very good, the audience was horrible. Lots of people leaving to the bathroom, people having out their phones to message people, someone using their flashlight constantly in the front row, A group of girls kept laughing uncontrollably, it was just a mess.
Bro you are by far one of my favourite creators at the moment, keep it up because your vibe, your content, edit, writing and everything is just perfect 👌🏻
I definitely agree theater etiquette is down. But I go to an AMC theater with 18 screens, and there is always a plethora of movies to go see so I have no problem in that department. And I agree with another comment, reclined seats are a must now a days.
I went to watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with my mom and little sister, and I kid you not, this little kid sat behind us talking the whole movie and the parents didn’t do a single thing. The kid was literally screaming stuff that was happening. I’m one who believes that taking kids to theaters is a great past time, that’s what got me into my love of films with theaters being the cheapest thing my mom could bring me and my sister to when I was younger. I understand when kids say something to a parent, or say something without meaning to quietly like a couple of times, they are kids after all, but if your child is yelling the whole film and you don’t do anything. That’s a shitty parent move man.
I go to the theater at least once a week and it's getting worse every day. The worst time was last week at a special pre premier of The Substance, a lot of influencers where there and they all just kept using tiktok and ig THE WHOLE MOVIE. In fact a girl that was there filmed the ending and posted it online, and got perma banned from special film events.
When it comes to crappy hollywood movies that are shoveled out. I think its funny how theyve been doing that since hollywood started, always trying to change a director/writers movie to "Fix" the movie, and whenever they do, the movie sucks, and when they don't touch the movie. OMG, its a great movie with soul and character!
Great video as always! In the UK I haven't had recent disruptions. The worst I get is people rustling papers. Although the thing I always see is people not following the assigned seating, as far as people arguing over seats even as the film is starting. However I always feel others unease at realising they need to not be on their phone for 2hrs, its palpable unease. Also Pillar boxing on a 4:3 TV is evil you criminal.
Theater etiquette is so real, watching the phantom menace was awful, people with their lightsabers and turning them on during the movie was so irritating.
Hard disagree with the 4DX take, obviously they're not meant for movies like Oppenheimer or The Revenant, but for movies that you know are just quick thrill seeking explosions fun like fast and furious part 800 its genuinely a unique and fun way to experience the movie id recommend it
Trick for the candy issue: just eat everything before the movie starts! or that might just be me being a glutton and eating the entire bag of popcorn during the 20 minutes of trailers.... Also, 4Dx is literally a toned down version of a park ride (5Dx seemingly being more common). These rides can go all the way to 12Dx. And finally, nice use of AGFA's "Hey Folks! It's the Intermission Time Video Party!". If you liked their movie mashup thing included on disc 1 you should watch the "Everything is terrible" trilogy of movies, their are kinda amazing.
Went to go see Inside Out 2, a family was talking through the entire thing. Then about half-way through, the projector froze, and we had to wait for the movie to come back on for 40 minutes.
I remember when i went to go see godzilla minus one in black and white, and there were these two teens giggling and cracking jokes up until the half part of the movie, eventually this group of adults lost it and told them to "shut the fuck up", needless to say i enjoyed the rest of the movie without having to hear annoying children
literally just watched a quiet place and a bunch of college boys kept screaming the n word whenever lupita would appear like these r 19 year olds ffs 🫤
In the old days, theaters had ushers who monitored the audience. If you were disruptive, they removed you. Now, you're on your own. If you complain, you might get knifed. When my viewing is disrupted, i leave and ask for my money back. It sucks.
A good experience I had at the theaters was with DIDI. i was on vacation and went to the theater by myself for the first time (I got anxious and bought the expensive popcorn and water) and i was one of 2 people in the theater, and it was amazing. it was chill and such a good experience to just be in there with me myself and this guy. Though It was a bit sad no one was at the theater, but it was also a Tuesday.
ngl, 4DX is a big gimmick and hasn’t worked for any other film I’ve seen… But it low key worked really well with Top Gun Maverick. The chairs only moved when the characters were in the cockpit and it kinda made my experience a lot better. I’ve seen two other films in 4DX and yeah, it doesn’t do anything really for the film. Unless we get Top Gun 3, I’d rather watch it in a regular theater.
Good thing Filipinos still have theater etiquette whether I'm watching an indie or blockbuster. I agree on your take that it's normal to react loudly while watching in a theater but at least all of their phones are off. We also have 4DX here but I'm not paying for that shit. I can only watch in three separate formats: Standard, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Can't wait to see The Substance though, which I'm gonna watch it next week.
Got to see interstellar in IMAX and it was ruined by two 13-15 year olds talking and playing with a plastic bottle the whole time as well as hearing Snapchat notifications every 5 minutes
Those kids should be condomened at hearing the rocket launch in interstellar and the soundtrack of tenet for hours at 105db till they get deaf @@JakobRoss seriously how can you be so rude at such a special moment like interstellar in IMAX. And I am very peaceful man ..😅
I'm a bit late to the party but here is my take on both 4DX and the present catalogue of movies. Regarding 4DX I feel your take is great, and as a person who has started to enjoy movies more by their artistic value I feel that it is far from adding to the experience. It's like VR Gaming, it has been made for the general public as a gimmick to promote as "next-level". Yes, these technologies might help inmersion, but life-like graphics are not what takes to make a game more interesting or immersive, neither will moving my chair. Of course there might be great VR games, and even I haven't been to a 4DX cinema in while, I'm sure there might be movies which make good use of this, but still, I think these technologies are made for entertainement (and money), and take away from what really matters in a movie. They're toys. Regarding the unoriginal catalogue I would really like to see a standalone video from you regarding franchises, sequels, prequels, remakes, remasters, etc (if you haven't already lmao). From my part I would like to say that this is a phenomena that has also been happening over the gaming industry. Last few years have been flooded with re-content and also exploited franchises that go from sports games to Call of Duty. Big names coming from AAA companies seem to be falling behind their past games and indie games. Indie games have truly revoluzionized the industry in the past decade because, they are passion projects, not cash-grabs. But in the end it is what it is, an industry. So if it doesn't make money it's not worth experimenting. Bit sad, innit? Anyways, this topic is very extensive but I feel like this is my general opinion on this. Hope you get to read this. Great video.
Lucky for you my very next video is about Hollywood sequels, prequels, and new mainstream slop! Thank you for the kind words as well, your comparison with the film industry to the gaming industry was a great read!
I work at a theater. Y’all know if there is unwanted noise in the theater you can run to customer service or an employee and get a manager to come into the theater and remove or silence the unwanted noise🤦That’s y’all’s fault fr if your theater experience gets ruined by kids
Also theater etiquette is alive. People in the 70s were talking in theaters and kids in the 50s were throwing popcorn and kicking seats it’s nothing new. There is not more of it now it’s still the exact same. Most people have theater etiquette though and will be quiet during movies.
I recently had a portion of Transformers One ruined because of these kids behind me. They were on their phones, constantly giggling, then one of them must've been lactose intolerant or something because they started to fart and starting to laugh at it. Thankfully they left, so they spent money on a movie they didn't even watch. Also I missed my school dance for that so if it was ruined I wouldn't have been happy.
Hey Jackob it's your viewer from India and the things are also same here. Bollywood's highest grossing movie of the year is Stree 2 which is a part of universe and a sequel. And the next year is also filled with lots of sequals/franchise movies/remakes. Though we have Malayalam industry which is making good and original movies for us Indians.
we need a small play place outside of the theater rooms themselfs far away for the toddlers to fuck around in while the parents watching a horror movie or something. thats what i want
the movie theater where i lived closed for good a few months ago and it sucks so much but i did go see beetlejuice beetlejuice in the town next to me which is like 25 minutes away from me and it went very good with no issues at all so thank god for that
never experienced 4DX but i DID see Dora in 4D at a museum when I was 9. I'd rather do that again than go see fucking Twisters and get flung out of my seat.
Fantastic video Jakob, However your statment of 4DX being the worst thing cinemas have done in ages can't be true when ScreenX exists in the Uk. Saw Maddame Web in it couple months back and it was completely unwatchable... the ScreenX stuff sucks too
And dang, there's nothing really disrespectful about opening candy in the theatre. You say ever since the pandemic, people have forgotten theatre etiquette. Opening up candy has been happening way before the pandemic. Theatres have been selling candy (snacks) pretty much since they started. I don't think there was one time in my life where someone opening up a bag of candy in a theatre would first hand ruin my theatre experience. One thing that lasts maybe less than a minute, minute max and maybe happens a few times, so lets say 5 minutes total, compared to the whole 2 hour or so long movie, shouldn't be a deciding factor. Its just too small. Change some of that perspective and that may help you by having a better experience. But we all feel things different, so just sharing my views. Yes unsolicited advice and expression but this is UA-cam, It's meant for that :) Also you had a baby crying for the whole rest of the film, and no one not even yourself went out to tell a employee about the disturbance? Also, the kids are just kids. Maybe the parents aren't doing the best jobs on teaching them responsibility and respect during certain situations, like being in a movie theatre with strangers. Next time instead of shushing the kids, politely tell them that this is a movie theatre, we are meant to be quite and to please stop talking. Also when Coraline came out, you were probably around 13 too lol, so not a surprise that kids are seeing the movie. Heck more kids should see the movies we saw as kids, it will help continue to grow an audience. Art shall live on! Also, haha 4DX, like you said its "gimmicky" so that's why its an option to pay more for it. you don't have to do that viewing experience, but others might. A 4DX screening room, usually occupies only 1 auditorium in the theatre, so its not really the money making viewing experience that the majority attends too. But its gimmicky enough to attract new comers and first timers. So the theatres aren't really that desperate by making it feel like theme park ride so people can actually go to the theatre. Its just one auditorium compared to the whole bunch they have. Trust me, 4DX isn't meant to bring people back to the theatre. Also lol, 4DX was around way before the pandemic. What was done to bring people back to the theatres, which I'm surprised you didn't give them credit for that, was the subscription service. Any movie, anytime, kind of thing. Anyway, if you lately had a bad experience in the theatres, go on a different day, especially time than usual, you can also try a different theatre. I live in a extremely populated area, I rarely have a bad talking theatre experience. Yes moments happen, people can be drunk. people talking constantly, but again these are all a people thing. So it all depends on the people, try different days/times.
My local theatre used to be really cozy, they always showed indie- as well as mainstream movies. Oh yeah… it’s a restaurant now.
I saw Spider-Man No Way Home on premiere night in a packed theater so I was obviously expecting some cheering, excitement etc. but there was a group of 6-10 high schoolers who kept yelling out jokes as loud as they could and then would repeat them if they no one laughed (and no one did) they were shushed multiple times by different groups. They threw popcorn at anyone who shushed them and the theater staff/managers did absolutely nothing. Multiple left the room to tell them and they did absolutely nothing.

I saw Marvels Civil War at IMAX, and this dude in front of me pulled out a phone, and started watching baseball. Luckly, he was surrounded by people who were not donw with that, and we bullied him into compliance.
Its actually criminal how the youtube algorithm doesnt recommend creative and unique videos like this.
Here’s the thing. I’m the cinephile of the group and so sometimes my friends just ask me like “wait whose the actor?” Or like “Isn’t she the one from that one show?” And I just whisper “yeah” or “he’s also in this other movie”. Sometimes when we watch marvel films and they are like “who that character?” And I try to explain it the most quiet way but like my friends are use to asking questions all the fucking time and it’s a bit annoying
I feel you with this one
It's not the same anymore, even the decor at least in my local theaters has become gray and stale. Bring back the fun designed carpets and good original films! Looking forward to The Substance though.
My theater is struggling to the point where they decided it was a good idea to make the lobby an arcade like Dave And Busters. Every time I go, no one uses the games...
If a movie theater does not have reclining seats it is doomed.
oh god, I hate those seats so much.
I can attest to this when I worked at a movie theater. We were one of the only theaters in the area that didn't have the reclining seats yet, and our ticket sales suffered because of that. It wasn't until we got the new seats in that we got higher ticket sales again.

i love that i can see the trees swaying through the window

Its Uncharted. It was already ruined to begin with.
I guess that you could say it was NOT a quiet place😂😂😂
...I'll be here all week
4DX sounds like the exact opposite of why I go to the theater.
8:27 nah bro this is genuine criticism and I am totally with you, if I have to be "mr i hate fun" then sign me up lmao. It feels bleak and dystopian you're right
Jakob out here spittin straight facts 🙏

My local cinema wouldn’t let me buy a ticket 1 minute after the movie started in 2021
When I saw Shazam 2 a few years ago there was a whole school watching it on like a field trip or something, it was terrible
Now that's brutal
what you said about family films now is so true, I went to go see the Garfield movie and the whole theater was just kids who would not shut up, my fault for going opening weekend but it was a 9:30 showing, like why is your 6 year old staying up till 12 for Garfield😭
SO TRUE
I recently went to go see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice and while i found the film to be very good, the audience was horrible.

bringing a baby to the quiet place is honestly the more ironic thing they possibly couldve done
I watched the last Transporter film in 4DX, can still feel those Jason Statham liver punches

I thankfully have avoided a lot of bad experiences, but I HATE it when people do anything distracting. I feel for you
Always a good day when Jakob Ross uploads 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
4DX was the only way I was able to slightly enjoy the new ghostbusters movie lol
I go to the theater at least once a week and it's getting worse every day. The worst time was last week at a special pre premier of The Substance, a lot of influencers where there and they all just kept using tiktok and ig THE WHOLE MOVIE. In fact a girl that was there filmed the ending and posted it online, and got perma banned from special film events.

I think its funny how theyve been doing that since hollywood started, always trying to change a director/writers movie to "Fix" the movie, and whenever they do, the movie sucks, and when they don't touch the movie. OMG, its a great movie with soul and character!
Someone took a phone call in my screening of dune 2
Great video as always! In the UK I haven't had recent disruptions. The worst I get is people rustling papers. Although the thing I always see is people not following the assigned seating, as far as people arguing over seats even as the film is starting. However I always feel others unease at realising they need to not be on their phone for 2hrs, its palpable unease. Also Pillar boxing on a 4:3 TV is evil you criminal.
Had a guy that laughed at almost every line out loud when I saw a movie a few weeks ago
Broooooo you shoulda went off on those teenagers 😭
Theater etiquette is so real, watching the phantom menace was awful, people with their lightsabers and turning them on during the movie was so irritating.
Sonic 3 will be fire at least
Hard disagree with the 4DX take, obviously they're not meant for movies like Oppenheimer or The Revenant, but for movies that you know are just quick thrill seeking explosions fun like fast and furious part 800 its genuinely a unique and fun way to experience the movie id recommend it
very underrated keep going👍
Trick for the candy issue: just eat everything before the movie starts! or that might just be me being a glutton and eating the entire bag of popcorn during the 20 minutes of trailers....

Thank you! At this point I make it a point to open all of my candy or snacks up before even the trailers start to avoid being a distraction to others
Went to go see Inside Out 2, a family was talking through the entire thing. Then about half-way through, the projector froze, and we had to wait for the movie to come back on for 40 minutes.
As a Regal Unlimited pass holder I can say this year I have seen only about 10 movies
Theater etiquette is pretty much why I rarely go now

Cinema companies wonder why they are losing money when they treat loyal customers terribly
Hey man! I love ur vids but completely off topic, I've noticed the posters in ur videos and they look AMAZING, where did u get them?

9:24 Super Mario Galaxy 2 ost 👂🏾
I feel like it’s movies in general, series like arcane was so much fun too watch
I watched Deadpool and wolverine. A couple behind us laughed at EVERY SINGLE JOKE.
never experienced 4DX but i DID see Dora in 4D at a museum when I was 9. I'd rather do that again than go see fucking Twisters and get flung out of my seat.
seeing the new despicable me made me feel so hollow and empty
Id say 2022 2023 and 2024 were better than most recent years in terms of original movies ngl
Dang, well question for ya. What time and or day(s) do you usually go to the theater?
I only go to cinemas that play older movies. Tonight I'm watching night.are on elm street and tmrw citizen kane
This is what the Alamo Drafthouse is for.
Fantastic video Jakob, However your statment of 4DX being the worst thing cinemas have done in ages can't be true when ScreenX exists in the Uk. Saw Maddame Web in it couple months back and it was completely unwatchable... the ScreenX stuff sucks too
DAMN! I don't know how this slipped my mind and would have been a perfect addition to this video.
@@JakobRoss Genuinely warrants its own video just how fucking outlandish and unwatchable it is
gg
First
And dang, there's nothing really disrespectful about opening candy in the theatre. You say ever since the pandemic, people have forgotten theatre etiquette. Opening up candy has been happening way before the pandemic. Theatres have been selling candy (snacks) pretty much since they started. I don't think there was one time in my life where someone opening up a bag of candy in a theatre would first hand ruin my theatre experience. One thing that lasts maybe less than a minute, minute max and maybe happens a few times, so lets say 5 minutes total, compared to the whole 2 hour or so long movie, shouldn't be a deciding factor. Its just too small. Change some of that perspective and that may help you by having a better experience. But we all feel things different, so just sharing my views. Yes unsolicited advice and expression but this is UA-cam, It's meant for that :) Also you had a baby crying for the whole rest of the film, and no one not even yourself went out to tell a employee about the disturbance? Also, the kids are just kids. Maybe the parents aren't doing the best jobs on teaching them responsibility and respect during certain situations, like being in a movie theatre with strangers. Next time instead of shushing the kids, politely tell them that this is a movie theatre, we are meant to be quite and to please stop talking. Also when Coraline came out, you were probably around 13 too lol, so not a surprise that kids are seeing the movie. Heck more kids should see the movies we saw as kids, it will help continue to grow an audience. Art shall live on! Also, haha 4DX, like you said its "gimmicky" so that's why its an option to pay more for it. you don't have to do that viewing experience, but others might. A 4DX screening room, usually occupies only 1 auditorium in the theatre, so its not really the money making viewing experience that the majority attends too. But its gimmicky enough to attract new comers and first timers. So the theatres aren't really that desperate by making it feel like theme park ride so people can actually go to the theatre. Its just one auditorium compared to the whole bunch they have. Trust me, 4DX isn't meant to bring people back to the theatre. Also lol, 4DX was around way before the pandemic. What was done to bring people back to the theatres, which I'm surprised you didn't give them credit for that, was the subscription service. Any movie, anytime, kind of thing. Anyway, if you lately had a bad experience in the theatres, go on a different day, especially time than usual, you can also try a different theatre. I live in a extremely populated area, I rarely have a bad talking theatre experience. Yes moments happen, people can be drunk. people talking constantly, but again these are all a people thing. So it all depends on the people, try different days/times.
