Moviegoing - The Way It Should Be
By Chris Hicks
Deseret News, 5 June 1988, page E13
Summary:
In his newspaper column on 5 June 1988, Deseret News movie critic Chris
Hicks criticized Cineplex Odeon for letting problems with the Centre's
exclusive 70mm presentation of "Willow" continue for over two weeks and
recommended that moviegoers wanting to see the film go elsewhere.
Complaints included "Sound popping in and out, the film shutting down
in the middle of scenes, background noise occasionally overwhelming the
dialogue and the sound getting softer and louder without warning."
"In the Holladay theaters you have wide aisles that don't make you
hunch your knees up on the seat in front of you, comfortable chairs
that make even a long movie like ``Close Encounters'' a pleasure to sit
through, and a wonderful stereo sound system that enhances the
experience. And the screens are perfect in every house, even the
smaller auditoriums that have just over 200 seats."
