What kind of form will cinema take in the future?


What ideas do you have for the way we watch films and the whole cinema experience.


I saw hostel last night and although its a fairly interesting gore film, it wasnt worth the �14 ticket price it cost my gfriend and I. Could have waited for the DVD for the same experience?


People wo't stop making films, but what will keep people paying Cinema prices?

I think the smaller producers, who have battled for years to get their films shown in cinemas, will lead the way with simultaneous releases in cinema, on DVD and the pay per view sector on television.


With the technological improvements in home viewing and the introduction of large, flat, wall mounted televisions, the need to sit with smelly, noisy, strangers in order to enjoy a film at its visual peak will diminish and we can have more choices of environment in which we can watch and hopefully enjoy new films.


These tactics will probably be condemned by the industry initially, fearful of losing first weekend cinema revenue, but will hopefully be embraced when such practices prove popular with a large and varied audience.


I know Saffron Burrows and John Malkovich made a film about the artist, Gustav Klimt, in the early months of 2005, but the present release system discriminates against niche market films and it is still on the shelf. We need a system that allows people a greater choice of film viewing and I'm hopeful the library system of pay per view films on cable is expanded massively.

Saw the Terminator show at Universal Studios, Florida last year which is a mixture of live action, film and 3D technology (don't know what it's called, but it's fantastic, characters sat on your knee, broken glass hurtling towards you etc), which could be the way of the cinema of the future.

Interaction & comfort is the future.A seat with its own speakers offering decent 5.1 with a booming bass level that vibrates your seat.


maybe even a '1st class' viewing offering increased leg room to stop 'seat kickers' and no more rustling packaging !


recently a film was released at the cinema, on dvd and tv at the same time.... i could see that becoming more common place in the future.


i hope anyway
