Sitting close to a giant tv just isn’t the same as seeing something on a legit giant screen.
Obviously it’s not exactly the same, but my sectional is way more comfy than theater seats, being in control of the film/sound/lighting is way more convenient, and the percentage of my vision filled by the screen is roughly the same as shooting in the back half of the theater.
My home setup is preferable to the theater in all but the rare film that actually gets full mileage out of the screen.

Meh, 10 feet from a nice big screen with a decent sound bar and subwoofer is pretty nice.
The ability to pause and control of your surroundings is pretty huge too.
If you’re comparing the two, then you need to look at the advantages of both.

Oh absolutely there are advatnages to both. I was at a movie last night and not being able to pause it to use the bathroom was incredibly frustrating.
But for size/scale, which is the specific thing the post is about, there ism’t really a comparison.

I’ve made thoughts on this clear already, but I’ll regurgitate them here xd:
Being around annoying people is shit. The prices are shit, the screen is shit (look at all the imperfections on the display surface.) the sound is incredibly loud and a lot of times, shit.
I’ll stay at home, make a nice spread, watch the movie on an hd screen with great sound and surrounded by the people I like. The movies are dead. Museums.

I have a 135” home theater sitting 13’ away. I think it’s a sweet spot, didn’t cost me more than my 65” tv in the living room And I do appreciate big screens I went on 3am showing for Oppenheimer in 70mm.
