later vs at later
What is the difference between "later" and "at later"?
For example,
- Have your watched the movie?
- No, I haven't, but I will watch it at later this week.

"At later" sounds very strange to me. We don't say that.
In that sentence, it is best to say:
"No, I haven't, but I will watch it later this week."
Sometimes we say "at a later time" or "at a later date". For example:
"No, I haven't, but I will watch it at a later date."
"No, I haven't, but I will watch it at a later time."
This means that they don't know when EXACTLY they will watch it, but they plan on watching it sometime in the future.

Hi Roman, I would say, "I will watch it later this week" or I will watch it at a later time this week." You're trying to use "later" as an adjective here, but in this case you don't have a noun to describe "later." By itself, "At later" is not grammatical.

Hi,
the correct way of saying your sentence is this way:
" I will watch it later " ... you can't say " at later "
It's not correct to say "at later"

I'll watch it later. Correct.
I'll watch it later, when I get home.
I'll look at the paper later. (Read it later).
