AIBU to go to the cinema?

If you've had both jabs, will you be happy going to the cinema when they open on May 17th?
I will, but saw a poll which was largely of the opinion to wait a bit. I've erred on the side of caution all the way through, been shielding etc. but once I'm vaxxed to the max, I'm outta here!
AIBU?

YANBU to go.
However, that isn't what the poll was asking.
Personally, I wouldn't. I think we all weigh up the 'pluses' we'd get from doing something against the negligible risk of doing it.
I think there is a negligible risk, but I really couldn't be less bothered about going to the cinema.
OTOH, there will no doubt be things I'm going to do (because I love doing them) that other people - possibly including you, OP - would consider too great a risk, because the 'pluses' of doing a different activity just wouldn't add up for them / you.
It's all about balance.

I have no problems with the risk and haven’t been jabbed. However, I really have no interest in returning.
We used to go to the cinema on a Sunday when we didn’t have anything else planned just to fill the afternoon. But during lockdown we’ve discovered so many great ways to fill our weekends while also not spending money for the sake of it and we plan to continue some of that.

I saw Pinocchio between lockdowns. Early Sunday morning showing due to childcare. Was great, empty cinema.
There's a couple of movies I really want to see. Cinema had a good process last time and I'd really like it to stay open so DH and I will both likely go but alas to the same movie separately as we have too many kids for a baby sitter 🤣🤣

I’ll be there with my nose pressed against the glass waiting for the doors to open! Have a cinema pass and always used to go on a Friday night straight from work with a couple of friends and a little bottle of wine and some chocolate in my handbag.
Went a few times in between lockdowns and it was very quiet. Hopefully more people will feel like going back now.

It would depend how full the cinema was, but I think I will be going. IMO cinemas are low risk, with high ceilings. Talking is a risk factor, but people have their mouths shut., so not too much aerosol. Eating out in a poorly ventilated space is more of a concern.
