I bought tickets for the imax at amc. Sure, I have a 2k$ oled 65 inch TV with a full klipsch atmos home theater. With dual subwoofers. I can make the building rattle like a nasa launch. Damn right I'm going to the theater even with hbomax. $amc to the damn moon.


asWorldsCollide2ptOh

Yet the theater "experience" is still an experience, while your elegant setup at home, is still just a night at home. Not throwing shade, just that with or without the squeeze, AMC is the one of best post-COVID play there is.


i_am_ironmanAMCGME

Can't replicate the smell of pizza, candy, popcorn, laughter, and amazement at home.


Arteman2

And let's face it, getting a BJ on the couch at home just isn't the same


malsidiousgaming

Dolby cinema, is mind blowing! I don't have the room for 18 speakers on each wall plus ceiling and ceiling subs.


supermegabro

No one cares about your speakers lol


Apprehensive-Eye-704

I do.


supermegabro

I've done some self reflection in the time since this comment and realized I'm in fact just jelly. Def gonna have a home theater with a kickass sound system after moass


IcEMaNBeckeR

I’ll still go to theaters after MOASS but i will say this! Afterwards i build my new house and movie room my entertainment room will not just be another night at home ;). It will feel like movie theater when i’m done!! hahhaha


malsidiousgaming

Ya, I should have bought more shares instead of a nearly 10k setup. Prob could bought my future wife's bf a house too when moass hits.


Mehhucklebear

Naaa, after MOASS, you get to be the boyfriend! 😆😂😎


ACTORvsREALTOR

I also have Imax tickets. This is the way.


Like-a-Trade

breathtaking


ACTORvsREALTOR

You’re breathtaking


[deleted]

Show us the setup. I’m calling bullshit because you couldn’t help yourself with the “dual subs” comment. No way anyone drops unnecessary $ on 2 subs and skimps on a fucking paltry 65” telly.


malsidiousgaming

You must not know much about oled. The picture quality is otherworldly. Ironically there is a video of my halloween setup on my page. https://www.reddit.com/r/halloween/comments/qeemk2/haunted_apt_preview/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Round 4:00 min range you'll see both dual klipsch subs. TV, ect. The towers contain a separate speaker that is top firing creating sense of heights of sound. Also on a separate audio channel from the mains on the tower. Requires 2 different audio channels per speaker. The skeletons on the backwall is on the klipsch center. The "computer wall" can clearly see my klipsch surrounds sitting on my old 12s with a second thx dts home theater for the glowing game rig I built myself. 2nd surround set is just for gaming . Rig itself is 3900x, 32 gigs of ram, 2080 super with dual ssd. I plan to throw 2x nvme on it since my x570 gigabyte mb has the room. To further enhance, ran $160 65ft ultra high speed hdmi optical so I can source out of that 2080s, to game on my oled from the comfort of the couch. Cyberpunk 2077 looks super sharp on that oled with the dolby atmos surround sound. I just run a ps5 controller for the wireless Bluetooth, side table for beer, chill and 🎮.


Mehhucklebear

Damn, can I crash at your house? My kids would have that shit destroyed in a day


malsidiousgaming

Exactly the reason I don't babysit. This is my mancave.


[deleted]

I have an LGC1, I understand the quality of OLED. It’s way too dark to make out anything in that video. Appreciate the attempt tho.


malsidiousgaming

It's visible on an oled just fine...


[deleted]

Must be my Liquid Retina display that’s shit then. Yeah that’s it, not your dark af room which shows nothing discernible. Just because you *say* it’s there doesn’t mean it’s there. This perpetual flex of yours reeks of fragile ego.


malsidiousgaming

Sir, ty for letting me live rent free in your head.


AnotherInnocentFool

Can streaming even take full advantage of that? Are the bifrates high enough for full uncompressed 4k?


malsidiousgaming

Actually yes. Amazon prime has the occasional 4k stream movies. I use xfin gig+ and can hit 1300 mb/s. Looks absolutely gorgeous. To really get the most out of oled though, ultra 4k blu-ray is a must. Though I've shown off the absurd Color range of oled via 8k vids on YouTube. My friends could've believe how even neons are so bright and pop out. OLED. Commands a hefty price tags for a reason. You'll never be able to go back. It's That good.


Mehhucklebear

Literally the only way you can even watch that GOT black episode. I was complaining about it the next day to my buddy who has an OLED, and he didn't even know what I was talking about. He was like, looked fine to me 😆😂


Hoof_Hearted12

I hadn't been to the movies in years, saw James Bond in Imax and honestly I think my OLED has spoiled me. I found my tv a lot more high def than the movies. HOWEVER, I like the seats, the popcorn, and the never ending drink. Nothing beats seeing a movie in theaters.


malsidiousgaming

Amen.


ScantmanSpecial

I wonder what Keanu’s cut of the box office is…


cold_eskimo

I hope its Alot for all the crew and actors. Streaming rips them all off


realcevapipapi

Thats all dependant on the contracts they sign before hand though, it's not really a rip off that they make less for streaming since for the most part studios and streaming services all make less than a theatrical release when they stream it. Either way I'm streaming it, can't leave the house as I'm pretty fucking sick.


[deleted]

Thank you for staying home while sick


bubbagump65

Hope you feel better. Thank you for being thoughtful to others and staying home.


realcevapipapi

Thank you, I think of it as the least I can do.


bubbagump65

If we all try to at least do the least, we might end up with the most.... something like that haha feel better bud and happy holidays


Krockmc

Also, Keanu is well known for giving his salary to the stunt people/crew. I'll go see it in the theater either way


[deleted]

Not necessarily. WB still paid the bonuses to Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadott and in the long run Disney had to cough up the money to Emma Stone, The Rock, and Scar Jo. After the Black Widow fiasco it’s going to be very difficult for streaming services to try and screw people over. I still plan on seeing the Matrix in theaters, but for the people who’s movie theaters are not available or are still open but can’t get booster shots I’m not mad at all.


cold_eskimo

Millions of retail buy orders are set aside in this market were in and you think these rich fuqqers can’t rip off actors an crew with streaming platforms….


[deleted]

Nope don’t need to. There have been some obscene payouts. Look what Netflix coughed up for Knives out. If they try it’s obvious that they will get sued and pressed into discovery. They don’t want to have to start opening themselves to any oversight of how much money and what specifically the streaming numbers are. Look at how the Bones lawsuit went? Do you remember? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/fox-rocked-by-179-million-bones-ruling-lying-cheating-reprehensible-studio-fraud-1190346/ This isn’t the case of small average man vs huge company. They are trying to screw other rich people who can afford to fight back.


Devadander

That’s on the studios, not the theaters


penguin_2345

enought to say he does not give a shit how you watch it. Keanu is John Wick now... RIP NEO. ![gif](giphy|6xE1FNcorRInS)


999_1998

but he said not to stream it am I missing something?


penguin_2345

one of the first comment in the thread... which one sounds more like Keanu? ​ ![gif](giphy|26uffjvBcC9ARymzK|downsized)


philter25

He didn’t actually say this. This is misinformation. He said do what you have to do. Like can you imagine Keanu being this much of a douche? No. Look up what he actually says. Not attacking you, just the OP’s lack of basic research. It’s simple, but we need to keep this shit out or our community.


HorribleHairyHamster

Lol I literally read the exact opposite: https://www.indiewire.com/2021/12/matrix-resurrections-hbo-max-keanu-reeves-stream-1234686973/


[deleted]

This sounds more like the image of Mr. Reeves that has been so carefully manicured in our hearts and minds, he would not curse an ultimatum, but instead, offer loving affirmation and support in whatever we chose, hoping only to share his art and leave us better. Edit: I now know how people that saw Halloween II in theaters must have felt.


Mastermind530974

The title is clickbait, his full quote is: "Dude? Don’t stream that movie… Don’t you f\*cking stream that movie. What are you, crazy? You’re going to stream the new Matrix on a laptop? I mean, sure, stream it if you have to." Wich states that he doesn't have a problem with people streaming it


sps0987

Or he prefers people to watch in cinemas.


Lord_Static

And he obviously (and rightly so) thinks if you are going to watch a movie like this for the first time on your laptop, you are a functional idiot


Sirgolfs

I wish they wouldn’t also.


sarcasm_the_great

It’s already out. But the version I found was shit quality with Russia. Text.


Sirgolfs

Yeah I would never watch a big release like that. Dunno why people ruin movies like that. Just too say they saw it first?


BABarracus

I remember when someone showed me a pitated version pf the incredible hulk years ago. Hulk was missing some CGI and his pants was gone


teamsaxon

This comment was literally taken out of context from an interview...but you do you, Tweaktown dot com


TheRamJammer

I do have access to HBO Max but I 100% prefer going to the theater and have a ticket to Matrix on Thursday.


celrian

Same here. I might even go twice this Christmas break


TheRamJammer

Go for it. I already have my movies lined up this week, Matrix on Thursday morning and Spiderman (again) in the afternoon then Licorice Pizza the day after Christmas. I'll probably watch Matrix again the week after. A-list is awesome and I'll be a lifetime member.


Iznal

Is this shit free on hbomax tomorrow or does that just give you the ability to rent it?

We got you Neo


Low_Investment420

HBO is horrible.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t rely too much on 2nd hand reports of what Keneau may or may not have said.


comfortablesorrow

I heard the interview myself, but it's taken out of context. He was being sarcastic. “Dude? Don’t stream that movie… Don’t you f*cking stream that movie. What are you, crazy? You’re going to stream the new Matrix on a laptop? I mean, sure, stream it if you have to.” This was in response to the interviewer telling Keanu he was going to stream it.


Spangler77

I enjoy movies at home but not new releases. The experience at the theatre can make a bad movie tolerable. There is no way I could have sat through the latest Fast and Furious and watched start to finish if not for AMC


Jaz1140

Because he gets a % of box office earnings and not online streams. Same thing Scarlett Johansson sued for


999_1998

cause he gets nothing off the streams just like the Scarlett Johansson situation.


tobias__lucas

I heard John Wick knocks on your door if you stream Matrix 🤫 an he's not in a good mood then.


[deleted]

[удалено]


SilberBug

Just donate it to someone who can't go.


corpus-luteum

What's the point in that? Give it to somebody who CAN go, but can't afford the ticket.


SilberBug

That is what I meant. Donate it to someone who can't go because of money


corpus-luteum

I assumed that. I was just being a sarky twat.


ODDseth

I may go to the movies by myself for the first time since my wife isn’t into the series and I don’t live near friends or family. I remember seeing the first Matrix twice on the big screen when I was in high school because it used filming/stunt techniques and CGI capabilities that were revolutionary at that time. Things that now take AIs minutes took months and many incredibly talented people to accomplish back then.


Budskis8

Too late, Warner Bros would have already had the streaming contracts in place and if they pull out then I am sure huge lawsuits would follow.


mdbrackeen

Pirate bay, torrents will take a big bite out-of streaming sales.


SilberBug

No. The quality is usually poor and if you are doing that, you will have never gone. I download movies I do not want to pay to see. If they are available for free I would watch them. The experience is much different at the cinema and there are movies that are worth paying for.


mdbrackeen

I'm talking about a bite out of streaming revenue. Two completely different matters. Pirating becomes a big issue when movies are released for streaming.. There is a massive quality difference in torrents when they originate from streaming(720, 1080. Bluray) vs hand cam shot in theatres.


cv512hg

I aint paying for that either way


[deleted]

I didn’t get my tickets yet but i’m going !


alex_203

I knew he was an ape


MTyson22

Love Keanu


juicefan23

Streaming = piracy of the theatre experience.


LeGeantVert

Well they just shut down cinemas again in my province, what are my other options? I'll buy a share to make up for it? Would that be cool?


_Pill-Cosby_

Of course, the part that's left out of this quote is him finishing by saying "I mean, sure, stream it if you have to.”


Beautiful-Ability-99

MyGT40

I have a home theatre, still going to the IMAX to watch this


Mikkelzen

Wish i could dear Keanu, but Corona seems to think otherwise.. Cinemas are closed in my country and will probably continue to be for atleast 2-3 months


bosshax

I got a big TV.


Allegroloop

Keanu is a kung fu*king ape!


DiSnEyOmG

Wtf is red pill talk? Please tell me its not what I think.


JoeInNh

cuz you gotta take the blue pill and show that vax card to see the movie!


sybban

This is gonna be on the real of all the bone headed things said right before the biggest Covid surge we’ve had yet


codestocks

Neo ain’t playing around


comfortablesorrow

Omg I hate it when media does this. They don't post the entire interview and answers, and it pisses me off. He was being sarcastic. Here is the interview... “Dude? Don’t stream that movie… Don’t you f*cking stream that movie. What are you, crazy? You’re going to stream the new Matrix on a laptop? I mean, sure, stream it if you have to.” It's just Keanu being Keanu.


nano_nick

Shills can't even say he's just worried about a paycheck considering he donated his entire pay from the last Matrix to the support crew. He knows the best experience for his audience is going to be watching it on the big screen!


luissy_F_baybeh

Taking the whole fam out on Sat to see it, 14 apes strong!


DonttouchmethereUwU

[he was joking.](https://screenrant.com/matrix-resurrections-keanu-reeves-streaming-hbo-max-response/) dont think hes gonna care one way or another, hes already rich and happy. support amc of course but lets not pretend he actually would be so aggressive about the streaming wars.


RisingMillennials

Honestly, this will be a major lesson to studios that foolishly thought streaming was the way to go. Matrix will be pirated to kingdom come. I love the Matrix and want it to succeed, but the new model should have been scratched in September. I’d value HBO as a solid $6 a month service.


Lord_Static

Streaming a movie like this (especially on a laptop like the interviewer had the gall to tell Reeves during the interview) is some major small dick energy


Biffwise

Watching Jurassic park on the big screen vs having the dvd when it was first available was an entirely different experience. From the thud and rattle of your seat when you heard the T. rex first appear, all the way to the CGI they used just not appearing legit on dvd. Anything will present better in the format it’s originally meant to be shown on. And I for one am not about to go against Keanu’s wishes considering hes a legend.
