Meh, 10 feet from a nice big screen with a decent sound bar and subwoofer is pretty nice.
The ability to pause and control of your surroundings is pretty huge too.
If you're comparing the two, then you need to look at the advantages of both.
Oh absolutely there are advatnages to both. I was at a movie last night and not being able to pause it to use the bathroom was incredibly frustrating.
But for size/scale, which is the specific thing the post is about, there ism't really a comparison.
I've made thoughts on this clear already, but I'll regurgitate them here xd:
Being around annoying people is shit. The prices are shit, the screen is shit (look at all the imperfections on the display surface.) the sound is incredibly loud and a lot of times, shit.
I'll stay at home, make a nice spread, watch the movie on an hd screen with great sound and surrounded by the people I like. The movies are dead. Museums.
Really not the case, I agree with what most people are saying in here and I have an expensive home theater and I go to an Alamo Drafthouse which doesn't let people talk or be on their phones and it's an awesome experience and a lot of the new movies this year were sold out on weekends and their discount days. The right theaters and experience is still plenty alive.
