Poll of the Day > So, I walked out of a movie for the first time today

(+) Yeah! (+)

Went to see The Last Jedi with friends just now. I walked out of it, not because it's bad (Hell, was only in it for 20 minutes) but because I was having an anxiety Attack. I was able to get the money back though.

You guys ever walk out of a movie? If so, why?

My boyfriend and I walked out of a movie once because he bought the tickets and he thought it was different movie. We had already seen the one he bought the tickets for a couple weeks before. So we got an exchange and saw a different movie instead.

He confused Don't Speak with Lights Out.

Well, it's good that you got to see what you wanted. How is lights out by the way?

It was pretty good! If you like horror movies I recommend both the movies in my previous post. They aren't ground breaking or anything but they're pretty entertaining.

Walked out of Girl, Interrupted because it was boring and terrible.

Never heard of it until now. Doesn't look very good .

I never have, but I regretted not walking out of Meet the Spartans. Worst peice of garbage I've ever seen, and we knew it was gonna be after, litterally, the first joke. I don't know we stayed.

I'm embarassed to say going to see it was my idea.

Aww. I'm sorry. :( I have no idea how bad that must suck. Hope you feel better.

I wish we walked out of The Witch. It was horrible.

I feel so sorry for you. That movie is horrid, and knowing I spent money on it would make it all the worst.

Im feeling better now. Im just really bored waiting for my friends to get out.
Thank you.

Some horror movie because the audience behind us wouldnt shut the fuck up.

I almost walked about of Dunkirk. Its the closest Ive ever come to having a panic attack.

Know how that feels. I hate how people have no courtesy

Why did you almost have a panic Attack, if that's okay for me to ask?

I walked out of Jurassic Park 2. It was a midnight showing and something was up with the film and the movie was cut up in a really weird order so they refunded the tickets plus extra free tickets because they only had the one showing that night.

@Jen0125 do you mean Don't Breathe? Don't Speak is apparently a direct-to-Vimeo movie that is utter shit.

Oh yeah that's it! I just remembered the poster with her hand covering her lower face. Yeah the one with the blind guy and they break into his house.

I walked out of D Wars and went to see 3:10 to Yuma instead.

No, but I've fallen asleep during several and probably got a better use of my money for it. I was forced to walk out during a fire drill for one film and missed minutes of it, but I had gone with my brother who didn't feel like waiting for me to argue with a manager to get some kind of a refund for the inconvenience. (And, by the way, that argument would probably have been more exciting than the film.)
---

I almost did... The Ring 2 was so shitty that the 80% full theatre was down about a dozen people after an hour and we all just sat around together telling shitty jokes and making fun of the movie. It was totally worth the $8.
---

not really "walked out", but there was an ancient theater near my house where we tried to see Lost in Space. I guess their projector was in the middle of dying because they tried like 5 times to play the movie but they couldn't even kind of get the sound to sync. they eventually gave up and we all had to leave (with refunds and free movie passes). theater was permanently closed not long after.

and lol, googling to see what year that would have been "lost in space release date", I wondered if it would occur that they are making another one and I'd get the upcoming instead of previous release date. yup. (looks like its a Netflix TV series starting next year).

Yeah its no big deal for asking.

Honestly if it had been like 10 or 15 decibels quieter it wouldnt have been a problem. But he used stuff for the sound, like ticking clocks specifically to make it tense, from what I read. So the director nailed that part.

There was the time me, my sister, and my cousin went to see Beat Street many years ago - the projector went on the fritz and we had to leave. Probably the closest experience to walking out.

That aside, I almost walked out of Higher Learning. Movie itself wasn't bad, it just wasn't exactly my cup of tea. If I didn't have to write an essay about it in one of my university courses, I probably wouldn't have bothered to go.

I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't like large crowds myself. I could see myself having to leave in that situation. It is one of the reasons I didn't even try to go to that movie today.

The commercial didnt already give you that vibe? Also fighting, that crappy movie with Channing Tatum that I went with some girl because they wanted to see a changing Tatum movie and Tammy as it was also terrible.

Nope. Why would I walk out of a movie when I paid to see it?

Although, I was tempted to walk about of Transcendance.

Are you kididng me? It was a phenomal film and one of the best horror films of the last decade. So damn good and suspenseful.

No. There was 1 movie I wanted to walk out of (Watchmen) but my friends drove me so I wouldn't have a ride home.

I've recently been much more picky with what I choose to watch in the theatre so usually everything that I watch is interesting enough for me to see it through to the end. The last one I didn't enjoy (so I just napped through the middle parts) was Rogue One.

I almost walked out of Man of Steel because I had somewhere else to be and that final fight just kept dragging on and on and on -- I think I watched the final 10 min or so from the exit aisle repeatedly glancing at the clock on my phone. I almost fell asleep a few times during the movie, too.

I walked out of Punisher War Zone because it was terrible and downright gross, I was honest with the guy and told him I found the movie disturbing and had them switch my ticket for Quantum of Solace, which was ok

That movie was boring and not scary. It felt like watching somebody read the dictionary. It was better than Paranormal Activity though...

I have never done it. However, I seriously wanted to walk out of Final Fantasy The Spirits Within, and would have if I hadn't been there with like six other people; I didn't want to spoil their day.

Never, but I almost walked out of coco. I thought that drozen short would end 5 times before it actually did, but it just kept going.
---

I walked out of and into other movies before. When I was young my friend and I theater hopped between Drunken Master and the Exorcist remaster somehow catching the best parts of both movies.

Only the once that I remember but I can't recall the film. It was just so bad. Normally I stick it out with a film though as I've paid for it but at that point I really didn't care.

On a side note: I've never had panic attacks while out. I've actually only ever had two of them and both times I was at home thankfully. I still get the symptoms of anxiety on a daily bases and more or less constantly but I ride the storm otherwise I'd never do anything. I'm aware different folk have different types of anxiety and how mild or bad it can be though. Stay strong man.

You do know there is more to horror than just a jump scare, right? The Witch is full of suspense ala The Shining, which to me is far more important that cheap in your face crap that every movie these days tries to do.

I do agree with you about how terrible the Paranormal Activity movies are. There is no suspense, tension, or anything in them.

Did you miss the advertisements Disney was blasting all summer long that said, "Catch this new 22 minute Frozen short before Coco?"

I heard about the new frozen short, but not about it being 22 minutes long.

tbh, I watched that on NFI and it was so awful I walked out of my home instead of just stopping the video.

I'm not sure most parents, etc, were aware how damn long it was. And what a fucking stupid thing to do in general.

Well I didnt see the entire movie but in just the first half hour or so

He brutally snaps a fat womans neck several times while she screams, he shoves a pencil into his bloody broken nose to snap it back into place, he watches the villain slowly get ripped up by a glass recycling machine, an orderly at the mental hospital walks down the hall with a freaking boner for some reason, and then the psycho brother character eats through the boner orderly to get his applesauce back

Im not even the kind of person to be bothered by violence in films but in that movie it is all just crude and nasty and over the top in a way that just is not very fun.
---

Never. I only venture to the theaters if I know a film is worth my time, even if it turns out to not be that good.

I even sat through that entire god-awful Dragonball movie (to be fair, I had theater hoped with friends). I might have walked out on Green Lantern, since I didn't want to see it, and was only there before my work had free tickets, so everyone went. Didn't want to walk out of a work-sponsored event, though.

My g/f and I go to the movies almost every weekend, especially in the summer. In fact, from Wonder through It, we saw a movie every weekend.

It also doesn't help that I'm a teacher, so I may be bombarded with spoilers for kids come Monday morning if I didn't see a certain movie over the weekend.

I don't see what the big deal is at all. It might not have been great, but it was harmless.
