| What magic? I'm so tired of going to my local theater only to have the Mexican family with there 7 kids screaming & yelling during the movie & then you have the obnoxious white teenagers yapping on the cell phones during the movie. But more importantly theater owners do not want to pony up the money for HD screens. With the current prices of tickets you would think that the theater screens would be FULL 1080p screens with amazing HD surround sound.
I would LOVE to be able to watch a current movie in my living room like Spiderman 3 on my 46" Sharp AQUOS with 5.1 sound system in my living room. Maybe have a few friends over & a BBQ.....GOOD TIMES! I would pay plenty for that experience. |

First off, no home theater can rival 35mm film projection in a modern theater. Film offers around 4x the resolution of HDTV.
It will be decades before consumers have anything close to true film quality in their living rooms.
Nothing beats film, not yet at least. |

3 edits | You're assuming you get the sweet spot and aren't too high, low, right or left. There is nothing great about 4X the resolution and a headache. Plus resolution is relative to screen size and angle of field. To have comparable DPI it would take way more than 4X the resolution to rival a decent size home theater. This is assuming that you would get a 1080P HD version of the movie from the cable or DBS operator. For $30-$50 I would accept nothing less and join your "SD resolution sucks" camp. |

Then you start to get the lovely wear effects. The scratches, the scribbles, the dots. Not to mention the lovely "change reel" blobs and associate flash.
Screw that. Give me digital.
