A couple weeks ago we took our first trip to the Seattle Cinerama. It is the movie theater around these parts, so we were told. The screen did not disappoint. The seats are comfortable for old style seats, and are supposedly upholstered in mohair, but my posterior missed the new fangled wide seats, especially towards the end of the lengthy but very enjoyable Return of the King. The sound was excellent; they’re THX Certified, something most theaters in our previous community neglected to pursue. The 90-foot-long, 30-foot-high, curved Cinerama screen actually sits behind their regular 68-foot-long movie screen and its soundwall, so it takes some work to convert the theater to Cinerama screenings. There’s also a special second sound system to match the true Cinerama audio experience. But I’m perfectly satisfied to continue to view mere modern films on the smaller screen in THX.
