I don't even go to movies, so I have no dog in this hunt. That said, it seems silly to think that the experience of watching something on a big screen TV (which is measured in inches) is anything like watching something on a movie screen (which is measured in feet).
A direct comparison in both measurements (rounded for simplicity):
- TV 57x35 inches vs Movie 360x960 inches
- TV 3x5 feet vs Movie 30x80 feet
Yeah. Size matters, but so does perspective. I can't sit in the first 10 rows, I don't like sitting in the last 10. My couch is better than either of those options. Decent tv, decent sound, better popcorn. Not having people sitting on top of me driving me nuts. It's a tradeoff, but one I'm increasingly happy to make. Really the only movies I see in theaters anymore are the big special effects ones. Nothing else is worthwhile.
