Just sitting watching Robin Hood on Blu Ray the other night. Which is 1 of the 1st Blu Rays i have ever watched. Got me to thinking.....I would far rather wait for the big movies to hit Blu Ray and Sky HD than go to my local Cinema. Yes the big screen in the theater is a sight to behold. The Popcorn crunching in your lug, people going in and out and the cost of 2 or more of you going and eating all the overpriced sweets and snacks are all minus factors in my opinion.
I sat there with a cup of coffee and my favourite snacks with everything just the way i like it and watched the tale unfold before me on a 42ins Plasma/
The whole sound experience at the local Picture house is not a patch on my current system. Rear effects do not have any effect. In fact on my last visit to the Cinema i was really struggling to hear any rear effects panning at all (Green Zone- Matt Damon).
When the battle scenes were in full flight and the bows were twanging and the arrows whooshing past the invaders in the castle in the opening scenes of Robin Hood you really felt the arrows screaming past you from the front of the room to the back and across you as they took another soldier to the bitter end!!
Am i alone in this or do Home Cinema people like you and me still enjoy a trip to their local Cinema?
I am really pleased with my system and am amazed at the sheer quality available right there in our front rooms. Whats more it is available anytime we choose with any other treats or preferences we like.
I am not sating i am going to stop my infrequent trips to the Cinema i will certainly be considering....Can i wait until this comes onto a format that can be viewed in my own front room??
Am I alone on this??
The choice as they say is yours...!!
