Where to spend a lot, a lot of money, if everything is already there? Well, as an option - equip a home theater. And then save on going to the cinema, homemade popcorn is cheaper. For the wealthy of this world, it sometimes seems insufficient to just put up a huge screen, equip a high-class sound system and arrange a few of the most comfortable chairs. This is already trite. Here is to equip the cinema so that it, like no other, conveys the entourage of your favorite movie - yes. You probably already guessed that your attention is invited to an overview of the most stylish home theaters in the world.

1. Indiana Jones Theater

A few years ago, a Canadian couple Larry and Colleen Halliday were baffled by the search for a home theater twist. They turned this task to illustrator Doug Charrois.

It was almost a dispute: is it weak to make a cinema in the spirit of Indiana in our standing house? "Sure, not a problem!" - answered Doug and got down to business. Like the hero of a famous movie, he worked alone. Maybe he turned out to be not so fast, but in six weeks that flew by like a second, he completely completed the design and construction of the hall.

On one of the walls is a recognizable character - a monkey from “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. The client wanted to resemble the film - it is provided by hats, jackets, lamps, stones and other attributes as if they were just from the screen. It's strange that snakes don't scurry between chairs …

2. Bat cave

Perhaps this is the creepiest cinema of all. It was created by Canadian specialists in elite home theaters. They earn their bread and butter by designing and selling unique high-society home theater furniture. So if you have enough money, they will build one for you too. As you might guess, in this case it is "Batman's Cave".

3. NCC-1701D Enterprise

Jay Miller, president of Acoustic Innovations, noticed that the movie's customer was collecting old video games. This is how the concept of science fiction was found, which defined the kind of theater. The bar, cinema and preparation room are made in the form of the interior of the Enterprise NCC-1701D spacecraft. The design creates a mood for something unusual, for adventure.

The creation of these three zones took six months and was completed in 2006. After a couple of glasses of something intoxicating in an intergalactic bar, it's time for the most interesting - for a movie. A wardrobe is hidden behind the screen, in which you can find the costumes of aliens or ship captains. But if you do not know that there is a wardrobe, it would never occur to you.

Of course, the equipment there is also excellent. According to the customer, he was literally blown away by the sound. There are eight servers with 3816 DVDs.

And most importantly, you know what? There's a big Red Button there. It turns on a red flashing light and alarming music.

4. Bridge

Full size photo

The man made this cinema for himself. Just like that - I wanted it and did it. True, the process took him two years - but judging by the photographs, it was worth it. He was not embarrassed by the modest size of the room for a cinema hall - mainly only he, his wife and son were going to be spectators, so a few armchairs were enough. The project budget was also relatively small - $ 15,000.

The concept needed some kind of unique and recognizable. Obviously, it was Star Trek. The result is a free copy of the bridge from this movie.

5. "Star Trek"

This copy is one of the most ideologically sustained, technologically advanced and high-class personal cinemas in the United States. And it is quite expensive - compare with the previous one. This project cost the owner as much as three million dollars. The customer just wanted the world's best sound and detailed design from the same "Star Trek". The hall is equipped with unique technologies, among which there are automatic sliding doors, "smart" conceptual lighting and, of course, the best technology for actually showing a movie.

6. Titanic

The owner of such a cinema must feel like the king of the world. Still - "Titanic" was luxurious. And there is no need to be afraid of icebergs. The happy family assures that they are still not used to their entertainment hall. And they also made a funny point: it's great to watch, say, a football match and feel like you're in the stadium. I wonder what stadiums these seats are in. 1230 fiber-optic lamps create the effect of a starry sky. It is the brainchild of designer Donny Hackett of Casa Cinema Design. The hall is equipped in a dome, it was necessary to equip the room with a very serious acoustic system. High technologies do not fit with the situation, but they are there. The doors are opened by pressing a button. The entrance to the bar is hidden behind a sliding bookcase. The equipment is hidden behind a large painting that pops up at the push of a button, and the owners don't stop there and plan to add even more comfort and convenience. It seems that the passengers of the real "Titanic" were not so comfortable.

7. Death Star

This is very, very cool. Home theater for 10 persons. Owned by Vic Wertz and Lisa Stevens. Equipped with automatic doors and a blinking starry sky. Use force - move your hand in a special way to open the door. Separate rooms with a film library and a popcorn bar, of course, equipped with automatic doors.

But this is all nonsense compared to the fact that Doug Chiang designed the cinema. Lead designer of the first and second episodes.

8. Nautilus

This beauty was commissioned by Randy Moran, a big fan of the Nautilus submarine from Two Hundred Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. He hired Dillon Works Inc to create all these panels, portholes, pipes and speakers to provide great sound around the red plush chairs. And there is also an underwater spacesuit.

9. Pirate hideout

One forum user was very fond of Pirates of the Caribbean. This is how this cinema appeared. He tried very hard to recreate the pirate surroundings, apparently, he succeeded.

When his wife sat down to watch a movie, she said that she felt like sailing away on a pirate sailboat … At night. To capture the feeling, a starry sky was added to the interior (it was given to everyone!) And also - maps, golden doubloons, chests, steering wheels and other pirate paraphernalia.

10. Sci-fi movies

Yes, the screen is not the largest in the world. Yes, there are not enough seats. But there are more details that create a sense of space than anywhere else. The theater ship is filled with alien creatures, some of them moving, others talking. Together with all the components, the cinema costs $ 100,000.
