While it is common to have bad lip sync in trailers while cutting quickly from shot to shot and bridging them with dialogue clips, the trailer for the Matt Damon movie Green Zone appeared to have more lip sync errors than most, and the unlikeliest spots... I was worried that it might continue into others, but the rest of the evening's presentation didn't suffer noticeably, however.
We sat too far back this time, in fact one row from the back row. With the auditorium being the longish, narrow shape, the sound seemed uninvolving and somewhat muddied - this principally because nearly all the surround speakers were in front of us, and the front speakers were over 100ft. away. Lesson - don't sit near the back if you need clarity and involvement.Let this not take away from the Alamo's sound system - it rocks when it needs to and has good response from treble to bass.
Picture was bright and sharp... sitting near the back it did not subtend a large angle at the eye and reminded me of a TV. Lack of jitter & weave contributes to this feeling too.
Overall a commendable presentation from the Alamo. I had a tasty Guinness again. Their popcorn seemed more buttery than it ought to have been, but no major complaints.
