What do you do while you watch a movie in the theatre? According to film theory on spectatorship, individuals are predisposed to a certain level of investment during a film screening.
This film theory is primarily concerned with the way the individual is positioned between the projector and the screen in a darkened space. The movie Avatar was highly recognized for cutting edge graphics. The majority of people that have seen Avatar, did so in the theatre to experience the full effect of the graphics. During the film, the audience is held more powerfully than watching at home on a television screen.
