***Of course, this is all subjective. But the immersive quality of a big screen, the detail that you can just swim into, and the sonic capabilities of the theater are on a different scale, virtually unapproachable by home theaters.***I don't know what your theatres are like, but I prefer the sound of my stereo home theatre sound to any theatre I've been to.

"I don't know what your theatres are like, but I prefer the sound of my stereo home theatre sound to any theatre I've been to."Fair enough.
I'm quite biased toward two-channel stereo listening over home theater
for my own entertainment (perhaps because I listen to home theater all day for my job as a sound effects editor, which includes a fair amount of time spent in the film mixing theater as well).I will stand by my one point, however, that good movie theater sound systems are capable of a more realistic recreation of an orchestra (and many other large scale effects) than any high-end stereo set up I've heard.

for movies. We tend to get first run limited release pictures like LA & New York. At its best a movie can CRUSH ANY home theatre based on size alone. NO tv comes close to 70mm.All that said, when I was living in a small town, the theatres sucked big time and in those circumstances I would have a top notch home theatre and never leave home.
Even in TO you can get rude suburbanites who only go to a theatre once every 5 years, they talk, don't turn off their @#$%^! cell phones, who kick the seat in front of them (the one I'm sitting in). Also the film may not be focused or the sound too loud. So I get up and complain. If its not right, COMPLAIN! Find the manager and tell him why you are never coming back.
