I watched Dune: Part Two on IMAX last month, and the sheer scale made me realize that the theater experience isn't just about the movie—it's about surrendering to a spectacle you can't replicate at home. But then I streamed a quiet indie drama on my couch with perfect sound, and the intimacy felt more immersive than any blockbuster crowd. Are big-budget spectacles still the main reason to go to theaters, or has streaming shifted our definition of cinematic value?
