This is called "open captioning" meaning it's always visible. I, for one, welcome it bc I've gotten used to closed captioning while watching TV. I can no longer watch TV without it. Haven't seen it in the theater yet, but I do hope it lags a bit (unlike local news broadcast, which precedes what's actually said - drives me nuts). I want to be able to look down just after someone has said something to see what they said. So thanks to the state of hawaii for making life a little easier for me, one showing a week.
Previously, theaters provided devices to view closed captioning. I guess they're like eyeglasses? Dunno - never asked for them. I didn't know they existed until the news stories on open captioning! Wish I had known. Then it's not intrusive to those of you who don't want it.
