I totally feel ya. The urge of watching a movie you waited for so long is often tempered by what you mentioned, unfortunately.
I average maybe once a year going to the theater and that's only because when my daughter comes into town, she likes to go the movies. So I did see Deadpool 2 at the theaters. Before that, at least a year or more and I can't even remember the movie.
I had no plans to go to the theater for another year but the other night a big storm took out my power. So off to the theater and saw Meg. The only two films available that late in the evening was Meg or Incredibles 2. I wish I had picked Incredibles 2. Meg wasn't bad, it delivers for a popcorn movie, plenty of high adrenaline action sequence. I would have thought a massive shark would have been exhilarating, but it really had little impact for me.
Anyway, no ipads this time but a young couple brought their toddlers, 9pm at night. So began the toddler whining and non-stop chatter.

IPads? I would toss them across the theatre. Same with phones. Just stay home.

At least where I live in the UK, all I have to do is get up and get the staff- there's usually no problems after that.
One time I was at the theater with my daughter and this ahole near the front row had his bright IPAD out non-stop. I got sick of it and started throwing little ice cubes at him. One finally hit him, he whipped back and shouted knock it out. I didn't have to say a word. Several other audience members shouted at him, "then turn off your f***n phone!"
Some people like that ahole think they are the center of the universe. Well, they're wrong! I'm the center of the universe!.....
