Angels and Demons

Went to a movie for the first time. Theater is about an hour and a half away in central Bangalore. Its just the one screen, and they are playing Angels and Demons. The ticket is 100 rupees (about 2 bucks). I went to the 1:45pm show, it was sold out. The audience was incredibly rude, like nothing I've ever seen. They talked to each other, talked on their mobile phones, sent text messages, and basically ignored the movie through the whole thing. I'm not even sure why they bothered coming. The screen was pretty small for a very large auditorium, but the projection quality was good, and the bulb was fully lit. The sound was digital and surround, and when you could hear it over everyone talking (mostly when something blew up), it was well balanced.
The theater was "air conditioned", but I think it was more air coolers, or what are sometimes called swamp coolers, because the air conditioning too was very loud. Kinda like the sound when you walk into a walk in fridge in a restaurant kitchen, for anyone with that experience. "Woooosh" on and off through the whole movie. There weren't any house lights to speak of, or running lights during the movie, so, save for the glow of dozens and dozens of cell phones, it was pitch black. So, the ushers would walk people back to their seats with a big flashlight, hollering at the top of their lungs over the sound of the movie and of all of the audience talking to each other.
The seats are very small, with very low backs, and metal. For the Angeleno readers, the seats are quite a bit worse than the New Beverly, however unbelievable that sounds.

It was not a great movie experience.
