Author Topic: House With Clocks In Walls Terry Monohan Master Film Handler Posts: 379 From: San Francisco CA USA Registered: May 2014 posted 09-22-2018 12:04 PM                     I semi liked this film. At AMC Metreon SF CA Dolby Cinema Lucky #13 1PM showing Sept 21 2018. Very slow in places. Looked like It would have been good in 3D. The best part was the Dolby Atmos® surround mix with all the sounds of the clocks and effects coming from the ceiling, back and corner sides. A great job with deep heavy base. The two Dolby® Cinema projectors stayed lit nice and bright. We liked seeing the trailers for Goosebumps #2 coming Oct 12. This looks like a way better film then the dull Clock movie.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 09-23-2018 06:28 PM                     I did a couple of studio screenings of "The House With A Clock In Its' Walls" a couple of months ago and actually got to sit and watch it, which I rarely do. (Sometimes I feel I should get paid extra if they actually want me to WATCH a movie- - but that's a topic for another forum) But I enjoyed sitting through this one, and as Terry mentions, some scenes make the most of the ATMOS sound mix. Until I saw the movie, I had this odd feeling that I'd shown it before, but I was confusing it with a British documentary from a few years ago about getting rid of a rodent problem at Big Ben called: "The Clock With A Mouse In Its' Halls" . . . silly me  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 09-24-2018 03:17 PM                     Went to see this on a whim last night, pretty cute movie. Wish I could've seen it in Atmos after seeing these comments though  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 10-04-2018 10:45 PM                     while I had had the chance to enjoy the movie in Dolby Cinema/Atmos, I went with the IMAX-digital version that had the Michael Jackson Thriller 3D music video prior to the feature - and boy was the complete package a trip and a half. as to 'House' I like Jack and Cate's performances a lot more than I thought would, and technically Eli Roth brought out the intensity with fun yet intense special effects and action set pieces.  |  IP: Logged
