Well, took me some time to figure out what I wanted to say, but here we go!
To be honest, despite the fact that my mom and dad have pretty much set up the Family Room of the house to be rather close to a movie going experience, (In this case, we have a big screen HD TV, Surround Sound HD Speakers, Blu-Ray Player and Blu-Ray Movies.) even with the lights dimmed, there just seems to be something missing in the end.
To me, going to see a movie at the theater with friends and family, rather than watching one at home, just feels special to me. It's something I can't quite put my finger on, but there's something unique about it in the end.
For some, going to the movies is a family tradition. Heck, there's one family I know that lives close by that goes to the movies every Christmas Day. Imagine if theaters were gone one day, what would they do now that a vital part of their family tradition is gone? For people like them, they'd practically be losing a part of themselves.
To me, while it would mean getting movies sooner, it would also mean losing an area for social gathering.
To me, going to the theater means more than just seeing a movie. It's about spending time with the family. So, in the end, if movie theaters disappeared, I really would lose a part of myself.
