OTT Platforms Vs Theatrical experience is a debate that was gaining popularity since the time Netflix came into the picture. There was a brewing cold war between the two from a long time, but since lockdown happened, the OTT Platform has gained respect and popularity to an unimaginable extent. We can say that the most popular ones like Netflix and Amazon Prime has helped us immensely to survive the emptiness that lockdown brought with itself. We were solely relying for entertainment on streaming/OTT platforms which is continuing even today.
Major Difference Between The Two
Sometimes, we just want to be cozy and comfortable with our favorite movie and a cup of coffee in hand. Don’t we? What has made this situation a viable option without any struggle? Of course, the ease and accessibility of streaming platforms. The need is nothing but an android phone. Having a good watch with a bunch of friends or enjoying your own company in solitude, a streaming platform serves both purposes.
The aforementioned paragraph lays bare the experience which a movie theatre fails to provide.
Are We Going Misty-Eyed Over Theatrical Experience ?
Like Sisyphus, a theatre is continuously rolling its stone uphill. There is no denial that some of the magic is gone but movie-buffs still crave a theatrical experience. Fun time with family or friends has an entirety different discern when it comes to the movie theatre. That cannot be compared with OTT platforms.
A well-known movie critic of contemporary time quoted that ‘in my fancy world, cinema and streaming platform will co-exist and will live happily ever after’ and I wish, future brings so. Looking at a larger picture, both are providing entertainment with a different experience. This gives us hope that, OTT platforms versus theatrical experience debate will one day come to halt and the coexistence of the two is possible.
