Uebercomplicated@lemmy.ml 3 days agoI’ve literally watched 2001: A Space Odyssey on the plain in mono because my seat’s audio was broken and I was trying to use my IEMs without an adapter. I had a great experience, in part because I love more about the movie than just the visual and auditory delivery. I like the story and philosophy as well.
You may not have enjoyed it in that setting, but please don’t gatekeep the experience. It’s also worth mentioning that a lot for movies are, unlike 2001, not art.

A chain is a strong as its weakest link. You want to tick all boxes, not just half of them.

That is a non-answer. You argued that it is “simply pointless” to watch a movie in the same setting I did.
I disagree. I very much enjoyed the experience, ergo it was not pointless: it brought me pleasure.
I was just pointing out, that it is indeed possible for people (maybe not you, but other people) to enjoy movies without the luxuries that you afford yourself. You asked a question (“why even bother watching a movie like that”) and I answered.
I also ask that you take into consideration that not everyone can afford to watch a movie with the luxuries you describe. That is ok to. Please don’t gatekeep watching movies is all I ask.
