This is a bad take IMO but meeting it more than halfway, viewing a screener at home is a different, often worse, experience than watching a film at the cinema. But why is that? washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/01/12/movie-critics-home-screeners-theaters-covid/On Internet Archive

I'm privileged to have a projector, a sound system, and the space / lack of children to use both of those at home. I can get pretty close to a cinematic experience in my living room. But if the screeners I get have a name watermarked in and can't play in HD, whose fault is that?Permalink On Internet Archive

There is so much that studios and distributors could do to make at-home screeners more accessible and a better viewing experience but they choose not to do those things.Permalink On Internet Archive

7 out of my 10 favourite films of last year (letterboxd.com/simonxix/list/top-10-of-2021/) were watched at home either on screeners or on a distributor's streaming platform. There's only one (SOUND OF METAL) that I wish I'd been able to see in an actual cinema.Permalink On Internet Archive
