See this movie asap as soon as you can in theaters, ideally a Dolby Cinema theater. Just saw it tonight in an AMC Dolby Cinema theater with Atmos, amazing!

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:People used to go to the movies to see a film on the big screen. With the evolution of home theaters and sound systems, people could afford to buy a superior setup at home also referred to as a big screen, and rivaling the movie theater experience. As mentioned, this happened right as Top Gun came out and once it was released to video, it was the definitive dvd that you could demonstrate your home system. Also it was #1 film used in consumer electronics stores to sell big tv’s and projectors and 5.1 / 6.1 / 7.1 sound systems. The movie is dripping in testosterone and home theaters can really shine bright, like a diamond. IMAX took things to the next level with picture size, picture detail and sound on 70mm format. I wonder if one day the home theater can evolve into become more of an IMAX experience where everything is just better. IMAX 3D is pretty good too but require viewer to wear special glasses. Home theaters have already cracked the 3D market without requiring glasses, but it doesn’t seem so popular now because of lack of content.
Yeah, it was a blast seeing the film in theaters. I recently upgraded my home theater, 120" 2:39 screen, dual 15" subwoofers, new receiver, new 4K projector, Dolby Atmos 5.2.2 setup (two Atmos speakers in the ceiling). It's awesome but I'll admit seeing the movie at an AMC Dolby Theater on the big screen with a crazy sound setup + massive screen is superior. I only go to the theaters now for certain big spectacle type movies, Top Gun Maverick is one of them that is well worth it IMO. Plus its fun to go out with my wife and make a date night out of it with dinner.
My biggest complain about going to the movies is that there's always at least one rude person, it's one of the reasons why I built my own home theater. Someone is either talking during the movie or is on their phone which is distracting. No amount of "Please don't talk during the movie" and "Turn your phone off" ads seems to stop everyone, some people just don't care if they are rude. Sure enough like clockwork this happened yesterday for me in a theater with maybe 30 people in it.
