More of movies than pictures, though not for every little detail. When I'm in the mood I can focus on certain scenes more intensely.

I don't just see pictures in my head, I see a whole movie as the plot goes, it is pretty vivid, so much so that if the book is made into a movie, I compare what I imagined to the actual movie. I guess I can say I have a pretty vivid imagination.

If the story is well written and the concept is understandable, I'll be able to imagine it. At time I think how can I just stare at a page with words written on it and imagine it all, at times I think that isn't normal.

Every book I've ever read has been turned into a full movie where I was the director, cinematographer and editor rolled into one

Absolutely yes. Most of the time I can literally imagine the whole situation while reading, but it still depends on how the author is narrating the story.

I always read a book like it is a movie. Whenever I read the scenes are always in my head. :techie-studyingbrown:

Yes, I see pictures in my head while reading. It improves our imagination skill. I think that's the whole point of reading.

Not exactly like a movie, more like bits and pieces. Some books are so complex that I find it difficult sometime to visualize.

For the most part I do visualize the text, but sometimes the picture is more vague or intense depending on the writing style, content and urgency of what is happening... I guess it is like a vague-ish backdrop that floats in the back of my mind as I read.

I do try to imagine the characters and how they look like, the scenery, I kinda turn it into a movie in my head, very entertaining

Absolutely! But is that even a question? Because isn't it how it is supposed to be ? The more your picturise, doubles the fun itself but i also believe that it completely depends on the book too.

Yes absolutely. Without imagining it in your mind you won't be able to relate to it I guess.
