Just saw Pacific Rim 2 in IMAX.
Wow, that's a big screen!
It was my son's birthday party, the kids loved it. So did we.
That said, I usually wait the 3 months and then buy the Blu-ray. We tend to watch the Marvel movies many times over (did I mention we have a kid). Plex is your friend 
With home screen sizes and sound bars most movies come to life with the convenience of pausing when your bladder is full, or you want a snack. And if you miss some dialogue due to extraneous noise, hit rewind.
I do like the sound of the experience though, and agree with comedies in a public setting. We saw Serenity in the theater for just that reason, group experience.
