I agree that seeing some movies in a big theater makes the experience more enjoyable Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc. However, it is hard to find a movie with a large screen. We have the multiplex theaters where the screens are significantly smaller than the single screen that I grew up with.

I recall going to a Tampa IMAX to see one of The Matrix movies with my nephew and his best friend and the screen must have been 40 feet high or near there. And there are IMAX screens much bigger than that.

I had friends at a local dog park too who often went to an IMAX in Orlando to see blockbuster movies.

The screens at the Barnstorm were some of the biggest in this area. Those at the Rialto left a lot to be desired for size.
