I can’t quite believe it myself, but this year I only went twice to a movie theater. Not that I didn’t see a lot of new movies, but in 2012 I saw the vast majority of them in the comfort of my own home, on-demand, via digital download like iTunes or on Blu-ray. And, honestly, I don’t feel like I was missing anything skipping the theater “experience” since new movies transition from theater to home in just a few months and at no time did I have to pay extra to see anything in 3D.
The best film of 2012 was the sorely underrated and critically maligned director Ridley Scott’s return to the Alien franchise Prometheus.
