It's still so vastly different. In a movie theater you are forced to not play with your phone, etc while watching. Even though you are just sitting you are getting "out" of normal life for a while. You get better immersion and there is a shared experience that you simply can't get at home. I fear that movie theatres are soon going to be a "luxury" as small theaters are killed and they try to turn them all into the "dinner and a movie" thing for higher margins, which to me completely defeats the entire purpose. There is something awesome about walking out of a great movie, the lighting outside is so different than when you came in and it's a great surreal experience in and of itself.
