It's more exaggerated for me because I have a 15" screen at home. However, your probably have a 30-60 inch tv at home with at best a 300W surround sound system. You go to a theater and have a 40' screen (possible an IMAX screen) and a 3000W sound system. The experience is much better at the theater IMO. That said, I still only go to the theater 4-6 times per year.
