War of the Worlds [2005] Dissappointment
I went to see the "War of the Worlds [2005]" movie and was pretty disappointed in what I seen. I would not recommend people to see this movie in the regular cinemas and wait until it goes to the cheaper cinemas. The movie really dragged in a lot of places and the ending was a major dissappointment. I am not going to ruin the ending, but it came very quick and made a lot of the movie feel pointless. There was a large build up and then nothing but a bad explaination. To me it felt like they were going along making the movie and realized it was going to long and came up with a quick ending to wrap it up. I would give this movie at the most 2 / 5 stars.
The other thing that I noticed is the price to see a movie. The prices at the movie theater are to the point of being completely rediculous. We went to a matinee and it cost us $8.25 per ticket, while if we went at night it would cost $10.50 per ticket. The movie industry is saying they are losing money and that the revenue this year is not what it used to be. I think they should talk to an economist. Movies are not primary goods. Once the price reaches a high enough point, people will start moving to alternative forms of entertainment. For the price of just seeing a movie, you can get 1 – 2 DVD’s which in my opinion at this point would be a better bargain. If the movie studios want to increase profits, they need to lower the prices. I don’t think they are meeting the equilibrium of supply and demand which would bring the most profits. That’s probably why DVD’s are having record sales.
