Maybe it is just a vestigial market remnant, but I won't be happy until I can get the full movie theater experience at home again. Something about being able to watch a 4k resolution 40 foot screen with super-duper speakers is just really immersive, and I like the experience of going somewhere to experience a movie.

I'm saving up for a projector with 4k resolution, and am hoping that does the trick as far giving me the immersive experience at home. Time will tell, I guess.

My homemade kettle corn has already outstripped anything a theater can put forth, so that part of the equation is done.

One thing a couple of theaters have started doing is requiring you to select a seat when you buy the ticket. Annoying as hell. Let me just walk in, take a look, and pick a likely spot, rather than be stuck with everyone else trying to cluster in middle-center.

As others have noted...theaters need to start finding ways to compete with your living room. What's really nice are the theaters set up like bars, where you get beer and food and a waitress with your movie, and the noisy kids aren't allowed. Usually its second or third run movies, but that's ok. Comfortable seating, less institutional atmosphere, less crowded, better way to kill a couple hours than being jammed in between sweaty people who definitely wouldn't fit in an airline seat.

At least provide a little more elbow room and some minor degree of recliner-ness.

Who doesn't want to choose their seats before hand? You never go to the movies with multiple people and can't find seats together? Do you not have friends? Every theater should allow you to choose your seats before hand. Serve some beer and real food, get a lazy-boy style chair or a couch. That would be worth it, right now they just ride their exclusivity.

my local theatre just put in these really nice leather reclining seats. they're almost too comfortable.
