Jokes aside, there are a few cinemas that still deliver great experiences - but the average chain cinema can just go die already, I don't see why I would ever want to go to one again.
One of the primary motivators for me has always been that it's "something to do". But with everything being so expensive, there are fewer and fewer reasonable options of things to just "go do"...
