This dilemma has been explored previously by Red Letter Media, but they had a whole section dedicated to it in the middle of their recent ‘Presence’ review (by Steven Soderbergh), because it was raised again recently by Sean Baker in his acceptance speech at the Oscars. I am the type of person who prefers to see films at my local cinema for both nostalgia/cultural heritage reasons and because the experience in terms of the audio and visuals is better than what I have at home, but at the same time the cinema experience is so vulnerable to disruption when it comes to these kinds of films that it always feels like I’m gambling with time and money when I decide to go.
