Went to see Star Wars in theatre 5, the big loud auditorium with wrap around surround sound (i guess Dolby SR), which is good. It was almost sold out! Was this theatre in existence when the first star wars opened? The only theatre around this area was far away in paramus, which still draws crowds. It was also playing on a digital screen with dolby 5.1 sound and a RWC theatre with DTS sound. Still a good theatre. Next movie will be Mr. and Mrs. Smith!
This theatre is one of two multiplexes that has THX auditoriums. Clifton Commons has two of them (theatres 8 and 9). I have been to them (among the movies I saw were good ones such as Mission Impossible 2, Dinosaur, and the Hurricane). They’re the biggest of all the 16 theatres (i think) with terrific surround sound. I saw Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as one of those art house movies and it was a full house!!! Could someone post a photo of the clifton commons outside (a current photo, not older pictures of it).
THe last time I saw a movie in that theatre was Constantine, which was an OK movie. Why did they cut out the 15th screen? I don’t remember going to that auditorium.
The first new movie I saw at Clifton Commons (after a bunch of older movies before the theatre opened such as You Got Mail and Star Trek Insurrection) was Entrapment, which was a good movie. The last movie I saw there before moving was Monsters, Inc., which was a great movie. Have there been any changes to the theatre since it was a General Cinema (now an AMC theatre)?
The last time I went to this theatre, it was “Kingdom of Heaven” at auditorium 2, and the sound was great and the picture was decent. They even had rear window captioning in the back of the theater, which is nice for hard to read people. If I were to read them, I would bring a pocket mirror and hold it above the screen! THat’s only one of the innovations to this renovated plex, along with rocking chairs and digital sound. They should add TV screens like the Mansfield theatre, which isn’t listed as a Cinema Treasure but should be since it is one of my favorite theatres.
Thanx for the info! Do you know when Star Wars first came to the Succasunna theatre?
