...Harkins' Cine Capri/Scottsdale. Large, excellent sound (Dolby Atmos), and excellent, bright, digital projection. (I have no love or nostalgia for the 'nervousness' of film projection.)

Phoenix has a fully restored 'old-time' theater, the Orpheum (link). It's been many things since built in 1929. Now owned by the city of Phoenix, it backs against the very modern Phoenix City Hall...






I recently saw, a few days apart, 'Capt. America...' at Cine Capri and at another Harkins theater. The image at both theaters was about the same and very good, but the Dolby Atmos sound at SC was clearly superior in locating sounds and bass extension. All the Harkins theater are at least very good; we're lucky in Phoenix that way.
