The sound in this theater (home of THX) was always fantastic but this was even better. The film was actually tested here during production to get the theater experience perfect. So we heard the film as it was meant to be heard. If you have a chance to see it on a theater, go for it!
Joe Kosinski is one of my all-time favorite movie directors!
I know Skywalker Ranch had a lot of fictional backstories for the buildings there. Did anyone ever explain the meaning behind the name "Stag Theater"? Presuming the name wasn't solely meant as a joke about showing "stag films", that is...
The Stag is gorgeous. Only been there twice and that was decades ago but it left an impression on me.
