“strange reason that I can’t remember I never saw it on the big screen”

One trip to your local theater and you will remember the reason - immediately.

Now that really big TV screens of high quality have gotten pretty cheap, I don’t miss going to the theater at all.

” I don’t miss going to the theater at all.”

Agree. Too convenient to not stay home, If I gotta go to the little boys room I just hit pause and don’t miss anything. I don’t need to see a movie when it just comes out, I can wait. Not to mention the obscene price of drinks and snacks at the theater.....sheesh.

Also, theres not much coming out of hollywood I care to see anyway.

Most modern theaters, competing with home entertainment, have replaced the old flip-down seats with plush recliners, insure their sound systems are state of the art and often give you the choice of 3D or 2D. The concession prices are the true profit margin - I don't begrudge that, just eat before going.

A few modern war films that deserve praise are "Hacksaw Ridge" (Mel Gibson project) and "Fury". I'd go to see either in the theater if re-released.
