Only if you’ve got a really big screen. The overwhelming vehicular carnage will stop being overwhelming on a small screen.

While I do have a home theater with a projector and 120 inch screen, I pretty much quite watching movies for the special effects a while back. I just got bored with it because most of the big movies have been based on nothing but special effects and CGI these days. Granted, that's just my personal preference and I certainly understand why some people get into the big screen special effects experience. Personally, I think the best cinema over the last 10 years or so has been some of the television series on HBO and AMC. I've enjoyed Sopranos, Deadwood, Rome, The Wire, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Walking Dead over just about everything released by Hollywood over the last 10 years. There have been some exceptions like "American Sniper" or "The Dark Knight" but they are very few and far between.
