There are some movies we want to watch in a theatre first - Gravity was
one. Usually I eschew 3D for the gimmick it is, but that one was really
well-done and the 3D definitely gave a much more "you are there in space
with them" feel.

I'm not big on subtitles. First time I saw "Das Boot" was in a theatre,
and it was the overdubbed version. In that case, they actually took
care in casting voice actors who were totally believable and were in
sync with both the lips of the on-screen actors and in sync with the
emotions of the scene. Years later when I bought it on Laserdisc, it
was advertised as the overdubbed version, which it was, but some some
insane reason they also included the subtitles hard-coded into the video
master, not turn-offable. That really ticked me off and made the disc
unwatchable.
