After 23 years of film criticism, I was back in front of the screen as a civilian. I had no idea what I would find. --by former NY Times film critic A.O. Scott

    It’s absolutely worth it. You’d need so many tens of thousands of dollars to get similar fidelity at home that you might as well shell out $15 or $20 for a movie ticket instead

      My system output Nolan mumble speech just as good as the theater. Plus no assholes on their phones, my seats are comfy, the snacks reasonably priced, and I can pause it whenever I want for whatever reason.

      Going to the movies is a concept that should just quietly go into the night.

        It doesn’t seem like you care much about audio and visual fidelity, and those are the only real reasons to go to the theater IMHO
