I've stopped going to theaters because the sound is often unbearably loud for me. These days a projector and sound system for use at home are quite affordable. A white wall at night works great for projection too, so you don't need a specifically designed room. At this point our cinema experience is the best it's ever been, watching whatever movies we like, without going to the theater at all.

We may never return to the ideal theater experience he wants but I actually think streaming and good projection technology are already delivering something better.

I'm the opposite. I mostly choose to see big budget films released in IMAX which isn't very many. All of the rest I think that I agree- the home experience is satisfying for the vast majority of other films.

I don't think the home experience is already fully competitive without spending a lot. Just that the theater experience has enough inconveniences that it's getting close. For things like very wide/large formats and immersion maybe when VR gets really good resolution it will be competitive but I agree a theater still has the edge.
