Which sentence sounds most professional among the following sentences?
Hi there,
Could someone please tell me which sentence sounds most professional among the following sentences?

1. When we see a movie again some time after we first saw it, we are sometimes surprised at getting a quite different impression.
2.We are sometimes surprised at the totally different impression we get from the same movie when we see it again after an interval.
3.Seeing a film for a second time a while after you first saw it can be surprising; you can get a completely different impression.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,
Nanako

Answer

For movies and TV: the verb "to watch" is used more often than the verb "to see". This is because watching means you are actively looking at something rather than inadvertently "seeing" it.

Answer

The third sentence is the most natural to me.

My order from best to worst would be: 3,2,1.
The first is too awkward for me. The 2nd is quite good, but I still prefer the third.
