Ever walked out of a film at the cinema or slept through it?

Walked out of The Fisher King. I was there with a newish boyfriend. We went to see a film as a rest from a weekend long shagathon. Decided that the 15 mins in the cinema was enough of a rest and left to go back to his place.

The Matrix. Went to the cinema with a friend and our partners supposedly to watch The Mummy. When we got there was a change of plan by the men so both my friend and I both fell asleep. Sorry Keanu.

My friend fell asleep during American Beauty at the cinema. She said it was so boring. I thought it was the best movie I had watched

Walked out during La La Land. It is the dullest film I have ever seen!

Yep. One of the Star Wars films. My friend dragged me and it was so boring and long I slept through most of it. Never tried to watch another SW film. I don't understand the popularity of them tbh.

I walked out of Oppenheimer.
I'm moderately deaf and just couldn't hear enough of it to follow it.
Some people with perfect hearing had similar issues.

Only walked out twice. First one, I can’t remember what it was. The second was only a couple of weeks ago and was Kingdom of Planet of the Apes. God, that film was so boring 🥱 DH and I managed about 45 minutes before looking at each other, nodding, and deciding to leave run.

I fell asleep during Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I just felt it never really got going. The seats were comfy though so that was a blessing.

I walked out of epic movie after about 15 mins
Went to the desk and said 'I was just in epic movie' the guy cut me off and said 'do you want to see a different film?' I was clearly not the first

Ended up in hot fuzz so not a wasted day after all

Hiroshima, Mon Amour?

I fell asleep during Castaway. It was New Years Day and I only had had a couple hours sleep.

I fell asleep watching The Full Monty at the theatre 5 yrs ago cos I was drunk. Woke up at the finale 🤦🏼‍♀️
watched it sober this year and HIGHLY recommend. Bloody brilliant

i also fell asleep watching the Take That theatre show … wine 🤦🏼‍♀️ but that truly was shit

never fallen asleep at the cinema 😝

Fell asleep during loads when dd was young, most memorably the final Harry Potter. Have left two movies due to the way they had been filmed with handheld cameras - they gave me horrendous motion sickness. I usually persevere if the movie isn’t great but I draw the line at movies that make me vomit.

Hubby fell asleep during Twilight lol

Walked out of Funny People, it wasn’t funny! And ran out of a horror film , one of the Jason ones! Almost shit myself 😬 I hate horror but was trying to impress a new boyfriend!

Fell asleep during La La Land 😂

I slept through Saving Private Ryan (following a 3 course meal with wine) A James Bond film and I've dozed off in the Everyman cinema a few times. They give you blankets what do they expect? 😂

Sorry, no he wasn’t my type at all but was a nice guy who got how disappointed I was that evening!

I do now have a DH who is a wonderful guy and who respects our differences in interests when it comes to films and genres; I’m sure he’s sat through some I’ve wanted to watch even though not his first choice of film, and I have done the same with him. Likewise, we’ve both had times where we’ve gone separately to the cinema when we really can’t stand the film the other wants to watch!

Eyes Wide Shut is the only film I've ever walked out of. A tedious hour and a half of cliche and terrible acting 🙄 There have been a few others I would like to have done.

The question about sleeping through made me smile.

I have always found sci-fi very dull. I think the basic premise is so ludicrous my brain just checks out. Long ago I explained this to a new boyfriend, who then insisted I see Hitch Hikers Guide because it was the best film ever made. I tried to decline but he was determined so in the end I agreed.

Warm cinema, comfy seat, after a long, hectic week, and a complete lack of coherent plot, I was sound asleep within minutes and had to be woken up at the end. He was furious and said I'd done it on purpose.

Another one bites the dust. 😁

Fell asleep during a Harry Potter film & during a brass band concert in a theatre that I taken my elderley parents to.

I cried with relief that I could finally leave at the end of Lord of the Rings. I didn’t know what it was and would have walked out at about 20 minutes but it was a date with a new boyfriend and I wanted him to like me.

We’ve just had our 20th wedding anniversary. We went to see ‘Mrs Harris goes to Paris’ and he slept through most of it. I thought it was great!

I thought this was going to end- ‘and thirty years later that cinema manager is my wonderful dh and dad to our six kids’ - I’m a little let down by the ending tbh ;-)

Walked out of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels many years ago.

Not so DExH had decided it would be great to go to the cinema after I finished work one Saturday teatime and there were a couple of films I would have happily gone to see but was very clear I had no interest in LS&2SB. Anyway, he got tickets and we met outside the cinema after I finished work. I was so cross that he had chosen that film and said I’d give it 20 minutes then, if I hadn’t got into it, I was leaving and would go home on my own. It was, as I had suspected, awful and so I left the 1/3 full cinema and went to the bar in the foyer and bought a drink.

Got chatting to the manager who was serving people waiting to go into something else and he was so apologetic that I’d really not enjoyed that I wasn’t going back in. He was equally shocked that ExH didn’t come out to find if I was ok. Manager gave me a couple of complimentary vouchers so I could go and see something else,
of my choice, later in the month and even gave me a free refill of my drink!!

Was the last time I let ExH book tickets for a Saturday evening film!!

I have to try and take some sweets to the theatre to keep me awake. When lights go down, it’s time for a nap!!

Yes. I fell asleep through one of the Harry Potter’s. I had a hangover

I sleep so much in cinemas! Also theatres. Its an expensive way of curing insomnia!
