I watched the new Count of Monte Cristo on my flight to Europe recently. Good movie, my only problem is that they didn’t treat Mercedes’ final encounter with the Edmond right. Honestly that part made me so angry, they did everything else so right but the main greatest lesson that Edmond and the reader must learn and they let him get away with it… (some things cannot be forgiven) Oh well. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my all time favorites, so I am probably a little more critical then I should be.

So that is only a 3 hour movie and the flight was 10 hours… at about the 5 hour mark, I notice someone in front of me just start the movie… I watched it again on their screen.

Then I watched some other movie on someone elses screen. I have no idea what it was but it was actually a good experience.

So long story short, I understand that appeal and I might watch other peoples screens more often on long flights. Its not bad at all. Especially when they turn on subtitles
