Movies principally require the best of everybody, all at the same time, being the best they can be.

It's like if everybody is either doing their greatest work, or the whole house of cards falls apart.

I love to go to a regular movie theater, especially when the movie is a big crowd-pleaser. It's much better watching a movie with 500 people making noise than with just a dozen.
