1. the experience is exactly what the parent poster complained about, the smell of other people, but I'd add rude people (talking, standing, walking during the movie), the wait before the movie, trying to get out of the parking like at the same time as everybody else etc...

2. no big TV: true, although chances are that the electrical consumption delta between your old and a newer TV would pay for the newer TV in a year. Also, I don't care about cool/artistic images, I only care about the story told by the movie, but for people who are into that, this is a valid point, and probably the only one really.

3. idk, on the other hand, I ended liking movies I would have never watched myself, but did because my spouse/kids wanted to watch it.

4. you might want to read about focus, meditation, etc...

5. I keep a list of movies, every time somebody tells me about a good movie I haven't seen, I write it down. It's way better than endlessly wonder "what should we watch tonight?" or watch what advertiser tells us we should watch.
