I’ve never been to this theatre under any of its former (or current) tenant(s). However, it’s my understanding that this theater is actually not so great in terms of quality.

I saw a handful of films here when it was the Angelika, and saw one or two after it became the Sundance. While it was acceptable but not exceptional as the Angelika, I have to give it to the newer tenants – the Sundance Cinema experience is GREAT! And I have never had better popcorn in ANY movie theater, EVER.
This article includes two pictures showing the changed exterior signage and a picture of the remodeled lobby prior to the theater’s reopening.
This theater has reopened as the Sundance Cinemas Houston; the website is: https://www.sundancecinemas.com/houston.html
The theater now has a bar, available reserved seating, an art gallery, and enhanced concessions.
A follow-up story; apparently the dispute between the Angelika and the owners of the building that housed it had been simmering for some time: View link This article and others report that the Angelika is looking for a new venue in Houston.
This Angelika had its lease terminated by its landlord and closed suddenly on August 29, 2010: View link
