  Generally that is true - all else being equal the theater experience is far better. When you can get it.

  Brag about my system? give me a break. that was a bit mean spirited. Isolationist? give me another break. Going to the movies is a social thing? Real sociable. You sit there and watch a movie for two hours and do not talk to your partner or friends. Well, then, maybe you do. That's just the reason I don't want to go anymore. Having a bad day? peace, warren

  I think a movie at home, sometimes with a few friends, is immensely more enjoyable than at the theatres. Better sound, no line ups (hate line ups), all the comfort of home, no irritating people, stop the movie when one feels like it for a break, skip the commercials, no parking, driving..... no thanks. Seen two movies in the theatre in the last five years. Star Wars; it was fine. Swordfish; horrible movie to me so a complete waste of time. At least at home I could have just stopped it and watched something else. After driving to the theatres, getting snacks and all we just stayed.

    A movie at home with a loved one tends to be far more enjoyable than at the theater. You have a better selection, better sound(and better volume), better munchies, less distractions, less hassles etc.
    For someone who tends to watch non-mainstream movies, watching at home is almost mandatory. IMO, its rarely worth going to the theaters any more.
