I too have a Front projector and yes the visual impact can sometimes come close to the theater. The surround sound is MUCH better at home (even with a near-SOTA theater five (5) minutes away).OTOH, It is harder for me to get really involved in a movie at home because of my ability to hit the "pause" button for bathroom/beer breaks or to answer the phone, or see what mischief the kid is up to. The distraction sometimes affects the movie "flow".
In a theater, I have to "tough" it out and hang on every word and really pay attention. OTOH, again, my "immersion" into the movie is easily distracted by talking in the crowd, cellphones ringing, babies crying (ARGGGHHH), etc.
