Telly Savalas used to come around quite a bit during summer. The thing that struck me about him was whenever he came to the theater he remembered my name. I think he was working a stunt show at Universal studios at the time. The coolest guy I met there was actor Brian Thompson. The management was cool, all canadian guys. I worked there pre opening and opening day until 1988. If I went back to California, I would definitely go to this theater again. The image quality looked a lot better than the old IMAX theater, and the sound. Not only was the movie awesome(it’s one of my favorite films of 2017 so far), the screen was still massive, but the image quality and sound got a major overhaul. I saw ’‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’‘(in IMAX 3D) in their new IMAX theater, and wow. Recliners, some auditoriums featuring Dolby Atmos sound, and a huge overhaul to their IMAX theater, now with the IMAX Laser system. When I next went to this theater this summer(when it was renamed Universal Cinema), it really had a massive renovation. Their screen was large and huge and had amazing sound, but that was nothing to the huge renovation it got.


Back when it still had it’s old name, I went to this theater on a trip to California 2 years ago, and saw ‘'Ant-Man’‘(in IMAX 3D) and ’‘Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation’‘(I really liked both films, but I thought that ’‘Mission: Impossible-Rogue Nation’‘ was a bit better than ’‘Ant-Man’‘, but I think both of them are really good films) in their IMAX theater. I’ve been to this theater both when it was still AMC Universal Citywalk and when it was renamed Universal Cinema.
