    Hight ticket prices, high snack prices, no pause button, sticky floors, other audience members. Hmmm. Wonder why things are bad for theaters?

      No volume control. No sound channel EQ. No subtitle option compared to home DVD or some streaming.

      As a hearing aid wearer the turned-up-to-eleven sound level combined with unequal balance between voice and music/effects is borderline unbearable.

      Max bass, max reverb, max audio compression, plus muttering and whispering by so many actors being recorded at low levels, combine to make cinema visits something to be endured.
