Not like I'd want to go to theaters anymore anyway. Almost all of it is woke garbage. The overhead is just not worth it (I'd have to go to the nearest ultra-liberal city which adds at least 40-60 minutes of travel time in public transport plus fare cost). Tickets are too expensive for what you get. And that's without all the Wu Flu nonsense.
If the movie is really good I'll get a second hand physical copy. Otherwise ... I'd rather sing yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
You will hardly get the theatrical experience in your home without actually huge ass screen and super fancy speaker system that you can also go loud with.
A projector and sourround sound system is much cheaper than you imagine.
Project the image on a white wall, you don't need a projector screen, and you can easily make it hundreds of inches. And buy a cheap surround system set and good front speakers (which you probably need anyway), don't build your own it's not worth it, or if you're watching alone just use a pair of quality headphones.
Yes I know you'll get 60% of the "qulity", but you'll get 99% of the experience. Screen size is that only metric that will produce a significant wow factor - everything else your brain will stop noticing after 2 minutes.
Don't let consumer culture make you into an android - who the fuck cares if the blacks aren't completely black or the contrast isn't high enough. You're watching fucking hollywood trash in a heavily compressed format. You don't need a ivory spoon to enjoy a bowl of cereal.
For games however you need 120hz+, reasonable response time, and OLED or CRT will make a significant difference to immersion, but for movies it makes no difference to your enjoyment.
Projectors are back? Shit, in the early 2000's my uncle got a projector instead of a tv and it went from being the hypest thing to a bit of a mockery. What's new about em that's good?
If it hurts Hollywood I approve.
