Otherwise, waiting for DVD release is fine. Still, some movies really should be experienced on the big screen like the last OC movie I saw LOTR Return of the King...and I tend to enjoy them anyway and watch them again on DVD to fill in my movie comprehension with CC. But this only works for more of the action/sci-fi type movies. I really should advocate for the local theaters to implement some kind of consistent captioning technology.

You can also check out videos from your local public library - just make sure they have a cc symbol on the case. I’m happy to help!

I love movies, but I dont like going without her. We thought we could only go to one movie theater in town in order to see a movie. I am very excited to see that another, closer, theater shows OC as well! Thank you so much!! I know it may sound silly to some to get excited over one more theater but this is just too awesome for us!! I am hearing, and my parter is deaf, HOH with her hearing aids in.
