| - I saw "Oblivion" the other day in the DFX auditorium of the Cannery's Galaxy Theatre. DFX stands for Digital Fusion Experience, which is a wall to wall and ceiling to floor huge screen. I could tell as soon as we walked into the theatre that this really is the "largest viewing experience in the region," just like the Galaxy website touts. And, it has Dolby Digital 7.1 surround sound, which just means it's nice and loud. I saw the movie with friends at 5:00pm on a Sunday and, at first, there was no one else in the theatre--yay, for a private screening! Some other people eventually came in, too. Next time, I'll make sure we sit in the last row because that screen is so big. I don't know if it was the theatre and all its bells and whistles, but we walked out of there raving about Tom Cruise. I just know the movie looked and sounded spectacular on that huge screen. A big plus to this theatre is the separate entrance so moviegoers can avoid walking through the casino. Even though this is not near me, with the summer movie season upon us, I'll be back to see a blockbuster or two here. They also have something called a D-Box theatre where the seats move with the action. As long as I don't need to take Dramamine, I'll try that next.
