The once globally dominant DVD rental chain Blockbuster has seen nearly all of its nearly 10,000 stores close due to the rise of online streaming platforms. And now, the very last Blockbuster in Australia also shut its doors at the end of March, leaving just one Blockbuster store remaining in the entire world.

The world’s last Blockbuster is located in Bend, Oregon, USA, and has become a popular spot for travelers to visit and take photos. However, the scene of people once browsing through movies, discussing plots, and asking the staff for recommendations is long gone.

The recently globally released superhero film Captain Marvel features a crash-landing scene set in a Blockbuster. With a storyline set in the 1990s United States, it not only showcases the pop culture of the era but also evokes many people's cherished memories.

With the rise of online streaming platforms, we no longer need to leave our homes to pick out DVDs or worry about late fees. But this convenience has also led to the loss of those wonderful moments of discussion with store clerks and fellow movie lovers. These days, watching a movie is just a few taps away—convenient, yes, but somehow lacking in warmth. If you can, set aside time to enjoy a cozy movie night at home with family or friends. While you may not get the full in-store movie-picking experience, the enjoyment of the film itself remains just as rewarding.
