I disagree, but not in argument , I am a solidly pro fun guy, and also dig movies.
I do feel the objection misplaced. It was you who miniaturized the film, it was designed as a 70 mm wide screen theatrical presentation. Like wearing clothes that don't fit, it changes the experience, grand piano or fender rhodes, they are both pianos, but are not strictly interchangeable.
I offer a contrasting opinion easily, having seen the film on the big screen , in the original format. I didn't grind it up in a blender and drink it through a straw for convenience and then complain it wasn't that good. You might enjoy movies that way, but you also might have missed a lot of the show, from the lights going down to the curtain dropping at the end. Yes, that movie house has a curtain.
As an aside, and of course, competitive lad that I am, I bring it up, there might be stuff going on you never will see outside of a theatre.
Like at the start of baby driver, where the creator appears on the screen and personally thanks the audience for attending his show with all the noise, and visual excitement of the theatrical experience. Further supporting my position. He also thanked people for supporting theaters in general, since he has a great affection for the form,
Another point, which I hope you will enjoy in the future, , different endings from the theatre to home . Two I can speak of are sci fi flicks , under the skin, something like that , had a big female star and a lot of nudity.
when I rented the thing, all of a sudden they were wearing little black swim trunks. A tom cruse movie, another SCi Fi, where he fights aliens and dies over and over had two very different endings, , where the theatrical ending incorporated time travel , so the ending of the war never happened, so to speak, you had to figure it out, the movie I rented, had a concrete solid ending ,
The last quality movie I have seen was, I tonya, one I recommend in any presentation.
aLL the best to you. I should mention that a senior discount helps my motivation to leave the house. Once they start asking 15 bucks or so , more for 3D, i get pretty selective. Still , seeing the last madmax, an instant classic from the first viewing, in 3D Imax, with a full house , was not to be missed.
