I am in advanced stage Glaucoma and facing blindness soon. Consequently, I have been learning how to cope with blindness while I still have my sight. Just recently, I found a movie that I rented that relayed the action on the screen and was excited as I have listened to a movie, then watched it later to see what I missed. I missed much. The words often had an entirely different meaning when viewed with the action.
With that said, I never dreamed movie theaters would have headsets for me. If a theater in a town within traveling distance had a few screens out of the 14 that did, I would be thrilled to have the chance to attend a movie... any movie. I can’t imagine mandating theaters install the headsets on all screens and expecting all customers to pay extra to accommodate my disability. I wouldn’t expect all theaters to have any headsets for me, for that matter.
This Country has lost it’s “collective” mind. Purely and simply.
It sounds like it wouldn’t be that expensive to install on digital screens. Asking theaters to upgrade a film projection screen to a digital would most likely be a burden though. If they could afford to do that, they probably would’ve done it already so they could show 3D movies.
