I especially have to agree with that.  It's well worth while seeing it the
way it was meant to be seen.  I'm very lucky here because my local cinemas
have THX sound.  In particular I found TPM and The Matrix's sound extremely
good, as well as the vision quality.  I don't think either movie could be
appreciated if they were seen on TV.

And also my comments on The Matrix (since I happen to love this movie :)

I thought that it was an excellent movie, anyone that has the chance to see
it in a cinema should definately take the time if possible, because it's
well worth it.  One of the things that I most enjoyed about it was that I
was able to go and watch it, and it had a massive mental impact on me and I
didn't even think about the effects used in it.  It actually (and this may
sound really stupid) gave me a heightened sense of my surroundings.  I think
it had the same impact on everyone else too, because when everyone walked
out, no one said anything at all...
