Although downloading movies from the internet is convenient and cheap, I still refuse to do it. I don't understand why people like to watch movies at home - the cinema is specially designed for that purpose.
Watching movies should be a special experience. Some movies, especially action and adventure films, only really work in a cinema, where you can fully appreciate the special effects. If you choose to watch them at home on a small computer screen, you'll miss out on a lot of the director's efforts.
Watching at the cinema also means you have an audience around you. No matter whether it's a comedy or a thriller, this means you have someone to laugh or scream with. It's a matter of ambiance. It adds to the overall experience, and can't be imitated at home.
Downloading is simply inferior to watching movies at the cinema.
