I try to see around fifty films per year in movie theaters. Some of these are a great experience, because of the sheer size and beauty of projected film and the shared large audience experience. Also, it may not be audiophile sound, but the perceived size of the audio experience in auditoriums is difficult to match in home systems. OTOH, I have fought my way through out-of-focus projection, dead tweeters or side channels, dead center channels, low light projection level, wrong aspect ratios, wrong framing (mikes showing above the actors), etc., and I seem to be the first or only one to jump up and complain to management (the 17 year-old kid) about the problem.Home theaters can achieve audio which clearly surpasses the theater experience in detail and clarity, image specificity, low distortion, and wide bandwidth (below 30 Hz) reproduction. They lose out on the visual video vs. film presentation, but sometimes the film works better on the small screen (e.g., "Blair Witch Project").
I suppose your argument for theater viewing is analogous to "listen to live music vs. audiophile home systems". But there is no absolute reference for the movie experience, and frankly, there are very few live (unamplified) music experiences (been to the opera lately?). So do not judge those who prefer to "cocoon" too harshly.
