Saw Endgame - don’t want to say anything at all about it yet, as most everyone else hasn’t had the chance and I believe in a pure viewing experience!
However, I did want to post about theater etiquette. We were heavily distracted by a couple things:
1) Someone was filming the first several minutes. Their phone was bright and a major distraction. No one appeared to have said anything at the time. I noted who they were and after the movie, upon exiting to the parking lot, I caught up and tried to, as politely as possible, remind them that not only is it incredibly rude and distracting, but also illegal and just plain wrong. They denied being the person (I’m positive it was them). Not really sure I handled it appropriately and just wondered if anyone else had suggestions?
2) HOW do people still not put their phones/watches on silent for these movies?!? HOW?!
3) The man next to my husband was obviously suffering from major congestion and his excessive sniffles were constant throughout the entire movie, audible even during louder scenes.
Add the general wrapper-crinkling, drink-slurping, ice-shaking noises in and it was one of my most miserable movie-going experiences ever... a real shame given the magnitude of the movie. If anyone has small theater options (like an iPic), I might suggest trying to see it that way. It’ll cost more but the runtime and better chance of a quality viewing experience might make it worth it.
