I've been to a movie theatre once, my brother somehow convinced me to go there with him. The movie was good actually, quite surprisingly. It was a premiere of the Interstellar. Spoiler alert: humanity survived. One thing that bogged me down was sound, it was obnoxiously loud, but it felt like lower frequencies were cut off somewhere below 30-40Hz. Hans Zimmer would've been disappointed to hear organ that way: when you hear the bass, it's loud, but you don't feel it in your chest as you actually do with the real instrument.

@rkan2 I think it just was cheap audio. I've watched that movie on my computer maybe a decade later. My cheap loudspeakers produce quite good sound actually, all the deep bass scenes when the sound disrupts your breathing sounded quite amazing. My neighbours weren't happy, I can imagine, but I watched that film few times in a row out of nostalgia. My speakers aren't considered high-fi, but I bought them exactly because I absolutely loved the sound at the store. Funny thing is that the same speakers used at our main orthodox cathedral in my city. Catholic cathedral just have the organ. Lutheran church had an organ, which was destroyed at one point, and despite some plans of building a new one it was never completed. We just have a nice piano in our "Kirche" now. I remember going on some music event across all the historic musical places. There was a Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor at our old Lutheran church and I had to listen outside just because I was on my bike and, unfortunately, I didn't have a bicycle lock. My moral of the story is that the sound is a lot more important than the image quality and that I think that the whole movie industry is extremely overvalued and overinflated. PWM regulated optical MEMS are cool, but the problem itself is quite artificial.
