For me, it's a social activity where I can enjoy with close friends. I also don't have a 4K TV or surround sound system, so the audio and visual quality is miles ahead in the theatre than my 1080p TN LCD flatscreen and Bluetooth speaker.

    Original Sony Bravia Z Series. Don’t even use the Bluetooth speaker. Yeah. Theaters definitely hit different than at home.

    And it definitely is a fun experience to see movies on the big screen.

    Completely agreed. My TV is some cheap Akai 24" thing, but at least it's a dumb TV with a built-in DVD player, so I still enjoy it. The speakers on it are absolutely garbage, so that's why I bother with a separate speaker. I too live in very small housing and frequently move about, so having any kind of speaker system is just not feasible.

    I got a modern 42 inch TV hooked up to an RCA stereo from the 90s with two big box speakers and I get that theatre sound right in my bedroom. A set like this is still only like $50-60 if you ca find 'em.

    You don't need a 5 or 7 speaker system for perfect surround sound; just 2. Headphones might even sound better if you're on a tight budget.
