Be Prepared To Be Annoyed By Your Theater Neighbors Because...

The plot seems to be beyond a lot of the idiots that attend movies these days. The guy on the left of me checked his phone at least 4 times. The girl on the left had her phone out for long periods of time during movie. The guy in front of me had no shame and had the phone out at head level (I assume to get a glimpse of the action on screen while also reading what worthless items he had on his phone).

Just a warning for those thinking by going on opening weekend, you will get intelligent, respectful, sci-fi nerd movie watchers. Because of the RT publicity, you will get a lot of idiots who are used to action movies and step by step pacing and plot development to get bored and pull their phone out.

Yup, yup and yup,... Not to mention the guy one row behind me that smelled like all 7 of Costello's arm/leg/limb pits put together... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SHOWER BEFORE GOING OUT IN PUBLIC!

Not my theater. Was along clap by a lot of ppl at the end and dead silent the whole time.

LOL I can't believe there's a thread on this. Saw the movie last night and next to me were two dimwits chuckling through the emotional scenes, messaging with their phones at full brightness, and another one right behind me crunching on his stupid nachos through one of the completely silent scenes.

But the movie's so strong that even all this couldn't kill the vibe entirely!

I didn't want to make one but comparing the cell phone usage during the movie in this to any of the Marvel movies, this movie took top honors. I was like what the hell? This movie is 100x better and yet everyone around me is on their phone checking the time, texting their loser friends, or playing some stupid game.

Makes ya wonder if they're just too stipid to read what the movie's about, or they just don't mind blowing 12 bucks on something they're gonna be bored with '
