The following is an article by Paul Falor, Atlanta Gadgets Examiner (Examiner.com). You can read the original article here.
As a technology junkie, I am frequently haunted by the phrase "We have no room in the house for that!" This really puts a damper on my creative abilities, so I am always looking for ways to bring my gadgets to my domain - the one place that I am in total control of - the back yard.
One of my dreams has always been to have my own movie theater but space constraints have prevented the installation of a projector or screen. Then I started thinking - the only thing cooler than watching movies in a theater, is watching them in an outdoor theater. Atlanta has a few drive-ins, but the movie times and selections are very limited. If only there was something to let me bring MY movies onto the big screen outdoors...
Enter Open Air Cinema, a self-inflating outdoor movie screen. Packages are available with screen only, screen and projector, or entire outdoor movie theater packages. Imagine hanging out in your pool while watching the latest blockbuster on the big screen. Screens start at around $500 and full home theater packages hover in the $1,500 range. Your kids will love you, your male neighbors will envy you, and your female neighbors will adore you. Quite frankly, you can't afford not to have one.
