Pacific is still Pacific. This is a special new division of Pacific. The snipe before the main feature is for Arclight. Several comments from my visit Sunday. Apparently, you can't specify a seat. I tried to, but she wouldnt do it, saying I could only choose between main floor and balcony (for the Dome). Also, the BRAND NEW printo of SPIDERMAN had several black scratches running throughout the film on the right side of the screen, so the scratches mentioned on the print of THE ROOKIE may have come from this theatre. The bar may be opened to anyone, since before the screening the announcer welcomed all patrons to visit the lobby next door to visit cafe and bar. I didnt see anyone using those facilities, though. Something tells me this concept won't last long. Even by 2pm, there were NO announced sell-outs for Spiderman (or any other movie). I WILL say the picture, though much larger than it used to be for 35mm flat, was VERY well focused and very bright. The bowing effect, while present, didnt seem as great as before the remodeling, although the crossreflections were there, but not really bothersome. The Sound was superb (supposedly 8-channel SDDS) but I could detect no sound coming from the surrounds. David, too bad you couldnt check out the interiors of the Mann Chinese 6. These are beautiful new theatres with pristine projection and sound (without the higher prices). Waterfall curtains, oversized comfortable seating, beautiful projection and sound. And the main Chinese has been upgraded as well, with a larger screen and better accoustics, new rocking chair seats, etc.
