Technology is also responsible for the great special effects we see in film today. After all, the Spider-Man we see on the big screen today, has come a long way from his comic book origins. VHS tapes, DVDs, Blockbuster late fees - these are all relics of the past thanks to services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. From drive-ins to the grandeur of old time movie theaters, when going to a movie cost a nickel, how we watch our favorite films may continue to evolve, but the feeling remains the same. So whether you watched your first movie at a drive-in or on your phone, one thing is certain - watching and making movies now, is nothing like it was then.
