Strange theater. Two of the houses have monaural sound, so I avoid seeing anything showing in them. The two larger houses are very long and, when dark, cavernous. The audio in the stereo houses is rather dodgy, and the acoustics leave a bit to be desired. Having been inherited from General Cinemas, however, the screens are nice and flat, of decent size, have fairly accurate movable masking, and projection is usually crisp and clean. In its own queer way, this theater is quite cozy and good for a rainy day.
I am not sure how long this theater will last. Doubletree hotel next door has been trying to buy the property for a long time. Everything else in the section where the theater is is closed and a dump.
This was originally named Sunrise Cinema I & II before they changed the name of the Sunrise Shopping Center to the Galleria.
The theater now run by Sunrise cinemas is your basic old General Cinema theater. Sunrise purchased this from GCC around 98-99. The best feature about the theater is the real butter on the popcorn. You can see pictures of this theater at www.sunrisecinemas.com
