When I go to the movies, if it&#8217;s more expensive, I often pick the standard option instead. However, I do think it amplifies the experiences of most films, and it is starting to become the new norm for up-to-date film technology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s cool, but not worth the extra money<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I love going to the movies but since movie tickets are getting more and more expensive I only go see movies every once in a while. For me IMAX is only worth the money if it\u2019s a movie franchise I love. If I\u2019m not a huge fan I\u2019d rather get regular tickets on value days or wait for it to come out on streaming.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I went to an IMAX movie once and it was too loud, so I never went back<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Data was collected via Google Form.
