Watching movies at home is infinitely superior. You can talk, pause, rewatch a scene, go to the bathroom, have your own snacks, better seats, home TV's are pretty great these days, and sound bars/headphones are also close enough(better?) than theaters.
I'd prefer not to torrent as I already have streaming services, but if companies are going to put out content that is generally mediocre, with lowest common denominator formulas and then make it hard to watch? then yeah, I'll Torrent.
I don't mind owning physical copies of media I really like, but that is also becoming less and less common.
That being said, Dial of Destiny was actually pretty enjoyable! Better than the average movie I'd say, and I watched it on a plane, so not exactly the best viewing environment
I take it you've never been to IMAX or Dolby Cinema?
I take it you don't know our home setups?
All that Dolby Digital means nothing when you got people talking over it.
I've got thin walls. Watched Dune I at home, had to constantly grab the remote to turn the volume way up/down for the entire run of the movie. Went to see Dune II in Imax and got my face pleasantly blown off by the sound system.
