Marcus has announced plans to upgrade the Ultrascreen auditorium. In addition to a 3-story high 76 foot wide DLX screen, there will be seating in electric Dream Lounger leather recliners, Dolby Atmos immersive sound, and reserved seating. Alcoholic drinks purchased in the Take Five lounge will be allowed to be taken into the theater.

I visited this theater yesterday and must say, was very impressed. It is truly nice to see an older multiplex given new life. Everything was spotless, there was still a faint smell of new carpet, the employees were friendly, all the refreshments and food we purchased left nothing to be desired. The ultra-screen experience was almost perfect… The Dolby Atmos sounded great, the auditorium was beautiful, and I loved the seats. I am just slightly disappointed in their choice of an NEC projector. The clarity and color just wasn’t there. It even appeared slightly out of focus for the entire feature. That’s my only complaint though, this is a great theater.

Marcus is now converting all of its auditoriums to Dream Lounger recliners. They plan to have this done by the end of November in time for the release of the new “Star Wars” film in mid-December.
