For me, it’s a social activity where I can enjoy with close friends. I also don’t have a 4K TV or surround sound system, so the audio and visual quality is miles ahead in the theatre than my 1080p TN LCD flatscreen and Bluetooth speaker.
Strange……A social activity where you are not allowed to interact with anyone at all and you are seated in a way that you really can’t look at each other.
I got a modern 42 inch TV hooked up to an RCA stereo from the 90s with two big box speakers and I get that theatre sound right in my bedroom. A set like this is still only like $50-60 if you ca find 'em.
You don’t need a 5 or 7 speaker system for perfect surround sound; just 2. Headphones might even sound better if you’re on a tight budget.
What got me back into theatres was going out and being around people without actually, you know, being around people “post”-COVID. That and I wanted to support my local indie theatre, 'cause it’s cool and stood a huge risk of going out of business during the pandemic.
I don’t go anymore, but really as someone who wants to get out of the house more, I can 100% see it being as a good enough reason to get out of the house.
I don’t understand going to the movie theater at all. Except for the sound, every other aspect of the experience is worse than my own living room.

Original Sony Bravia Z Series. Don’t even use the Bluetooth speaker. Yeah. Theaters definitely hit different than at home.
And it definitely is a fun experience to see movies on the big screen.

Apartment living sucks. The walls here are cellophane thin. Headphones is the best I got.
