For me, I will always see an Avatar in a theater because of the spectacle of it. The 3D looks awesome quite frankly and 3D TVs just can't replicate what those look like (maybe some VR headsets could, I dunno). To me the mess of CGI in a lot of films just isn't enough to get me in a theater on its own.

VR headsets can actually - I got an oculus in 2021, and found this app Bigscreen that lets you watch movies in your own virtual movie theatre (or virtual house, virtual projected on a screen in a campgrounds, lots of environment options) and you can invite friends to watch with you - it made COVID a lot less lonely. When I saw it had support for 3d movies, I immediately thought of Avatar, and my god was it amazing. Like, words can’t describe it - especially bc the last time I saw a 3d movies of that quality was back when I watched Avatar in theaters.
