I went to see Quantum of Solace tonight (it's all right, lots of shooting and banging and confusing plot). We got half an hour of ads before the film. Several of them were Bond-themed, and included excerpts from the film I was about to watch, which I found irritating. We also got two adverts for the concept of cinema generally and one for the specific cinema we were sitting in. This seemed odd: what's the point in trying to sell something to people who have already bought it?
Anyway, it started me wondering, do you think the cinema provides value for money? I like seeing films on the big screen, but the thing that puts me off is the ludicrous duration of ads and trailers. Is it worth the entry fee, or are we being ripped off?
