Moviegoing - The Way It Should Be


Deseret News, 5 June 1988, page E13

Article 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."
