Just saw the new Planet of Apes movie there today. Outstanding picture and sound!
Digital movies have been problematic. Theaters with 3D would not take the hours to change the lens for 2D and that 3D lens with filters would wipe down the l.ight output, such that you are often better seeing the
2D movie, even if shot or processed digitally, in analog even with the digital to analog conversion.
I talked with an employee at the theater , who advised they recently changed out all projectors and screens. Sure enough, the above weblink shows all new Barco digital projectors as of this year 2011.
I thought I heard better sound, clearer, lower in volume, better deep pass - it may well be that I've lately been going to analog Harkins locally (only all digital Harkins is out in W Phx on Happy Valley Road) there
has been some DA conversion affecting the sound, such that the new Barco's and digital sonics are unsurpassed.
Cinemark Mesa also has wider more comfy seats and a bit more leg room than even Harkins!
