I went to an amc for the first time in about seven years last week and despite there being a giant “Dolby” logo out front that made me think they’d at least have decent sound, the soundtrack in the theater I was in was hardly stereo, with the voice channel coming from the upper left of the screen and the music and sound effects from the lower right. Was not a good experience.

Screens are dimmed to save money, shows out of focus because no one GAF.

Films are plummeting in quality, Melania won't save AMC.
