    Who watches movies anymore? Costs a fortune, theater is dirty, people are annoying, food is overpriced, show times are inconvenient, …

    At home you can just choose another movie to watch, pick another video.

          I‘m in the same boat. I went to the cinema a few times in the last weeks and I actually prefer my home setup. Sound and image wise. Everything is perfectly tuned in and I can lay down on my comfy sofa and just enjoy.

              Nope, completely different experience. Sitting a few feet from a 60" TV does not have the same sense of scale as a 40’ screen, unless you’re sitting at the very back of the theater. A 40’ screen feels huge.

              I have a very nice home setup, but the theater is bigger and better.

                  I haven’t been to a theater in years

                  Clearly, cause now a days they have designated seating and actively displayed sales, so you can always sit exactly where you want, and go to show times with fewer people so you don’t have as many around. I’ve gotten the perfect seats in nearly empty theaters every time I’ve seen a movie for the last few years, and it’s always been an awesome experience.
