So let me get this straight: over 1.5 billion people have spontaneously changed into the opposite sex. And further alterations to their forms continue for a while afterward. Not even people's possessions are remaining constant -- inanimate objects are changing as well. Humanity's understanding of the laws of physics, of the laws that govern the universe, of the laws that govern REALITY ITSELF -- it's all been shaken down to its foundation. However events play out, things are never going to be fully "back to normal."
And movie theaters are open, showing movies?*
I have to say that I do like the overall idea -- I'm certainly a sucker for reality changes. But when you've got something literally world-altering going on, even though you're only focusing on a couple of characters, I think things need to feel "bigger," well beyond "oh, we're changing, oh, we're changing again, oh, let's go to the movies."
(*Are you old enough to have clear memories of September 11, 2001? At least in the U.S. -- even aside from those located in or near areas seen as potential additional targets -- many movie theaters closed for the day when it became apparent that hardly anyone was going to show up for movies when they were home watching news on TV. Think of that, and add it to the fact that 25% of the theater staff members have changed sex, and the other 75% have at least a few family members and/or friends who've changed sex.)
