| - This is not the original Cine Capri... And I absolutely loved watching movies @ the original Cine Capri!
Cine Capri was a theatre destination for me when I went to ASU 20+ years ago! Between the 70mm projector, with 30' by 70' widescreen, & a multi-channel sound system with a curtain opening that made you sink into your velvet plush rocker-style Theatre seats! Because as the big wide screens curtain opened you got sucked into world created by creative imaginations of Coppola, Scorsese, Spielberg, & Cameron. . I'm not being nostalgic, I'm just stating a fact that I don't feel the goose bumps that I use to feel as the original with the gold waterfall curtains slid open and the Cine Capri logo is projected on the curtains.
The last thing the original Cine Capri showed was Titanic, I think maybe with the splendor of the Cine Capri & Titanic there was some parallels that could be drawn between the two & it was a befitting Last Curtain Call...
The new Cine Capri has some of the same features as the original Cine Capri, and pays homage to the original... this one has similar to the original multi-channel sound system. But as the new 3-D & digital presentations are trying to give you the same sensation if not more, the new auditorium is not quite as grand as the original. It might be the same big size room, but the layout is elongated and not as wide as the original. Make sure you don't get caught in the first 4 rows because you cannot see the whole screen!
However, I cannot say anything really bad about this theatre and the multiplex that is attached to it. Its 1st class as far as customer service, cleanliness & snack bars go. It is also the best theatre to see larger than life "event" features such as Avatar, Spiderman, and Iron Man.
Ok a little nostalgia, I do wish I could go back & catch Spartacus, Lawrence of Arabia, & The Original Star Wars on the Original Cine Capri 70mm projector!
You will definitely see me in this place again and again!
