Consistently crappy theaters, other customers who don't care about the movie, on their phones and talking, and staff that are both not paid enough and told not to deal with those problems.

All of that for now 20 per ticket, double that if you want snacks. My local indie house shows movies with none of those problems.

And half an hour of ads

I also don't have any of those issues at home. Relative screen size is comparable (probably bigger at home, in terms of viewing angle). No annoying people at all. Snacks cost supermarket-prices. I also don't have to travel there and back at specific times, can pause to pee, good stuff!

Movies may be a few weeks or months later, but who cares. If anything I got a backlog to still watch anyway. I can no longer see any advantage to going to a cinema.
