Well, I don't have a hooch making dick or a coke points dick to wave around, so I make due with what I have.

The last 8 months of my life have been building this theater and working upwards of 90 hours a week when not working on it, so everything I can relate to lately either has to do with work or this one project. So I apologize if I relate my posts to this elephant in my life.

That being said, in my opinion anything with video and audio is influenced heavily by HOW you watch it. When you watch on a smaller screen with basic sound, you don't get anything from the cinematics or soundtrack, which only leaves the story. A TV series will show a story that has far deeper meaning if you have spent time watching to get to know the characters and the background stories, and will usually forgo the cinematics and soundtrack because it is rarely watched on a big screen. Movies usually rely on 90-120 minutes to build the background, build the characters, and make you care about the story all while entertaining and immersing you in the eye and ear candy. It's hard to compare the two types of media, and even harder when comparing in the wrong viewing environment.

A well filmed movie scene with good cinematics and sound in the right viewing environment will always come across better than a scene from a TV series in the same environment. I was reminded of that when watching Into Darkness the other night. Every action scene was "better" than anything listed in this thread, at least to me.

And I also believe the opposite. Watch the OP scene on a small screen with basic sound and it won't hold a candle to a scene that struck a chord in you and stuck with you for decades from the TV series.

Mike A:
Your explanation is even dumber than your original dumb post.

opt2not:
If you're the type of person that judges the quality of a show based on the size of the screen you're watching it on, then you shouldn't be in this discussion -- because shiny things may distract you.

21000W, Meh I've slept through louder.

Eh... there is some merit in what dkersten is saying (coming from someone with a fancy home theater in his basement heh). We watched Jumanji (the new one) a few weeks ago in 4K with the 7.2.4 Atmos firing on all cylinders and the buttkickers shaking the seats and I swear to god that movie is awesome. I doubt I would feel that way if I had seen it on an airplane or something. I know it isn't a great movie but watching it was a great experience. In fact, every single movie I've watched in my theater seems better than it actually is. The other night we watched Iron Man 2 and the entire family agreed it was WAY better than we all remembered. Even TV like Stranger Things and A Series of Unfortunate Events seem totally epic.
