By Don Sanchez
Cinema Club
Chapter Governor, San Francisco
We’re sitting in a theatre screening of the latest in the “Pirates of the Caribbean” series when a cannon explodes. The theatre seats shake. The walls vibrate.
It’s the amazing Dolby Atmos sound system, coupled with its breathtaking projection system. Dolby knocks it out of the park. And we get to watch it in the new Dolby Theatre in San Francisco, designed to optimize their system. We’re treated like movie executives or insiders.
