The original Midway that was released in 1976 was full of superstars like Henry Fonda, Charlton Heston, Robert Mitchem, on and on. Theaters were issued special audio equipment for the low frequency sounds like propellers, explosions, engines, and anti-aircraft guns. That made for some serious viewing.

Does the new movie have sounds that resonate strongly in your chest cavity?

There is a new theater set up with shaking seats, water effects, etc. I am going to see the movie tomorrow and may try that.

I saw the movie in an AMC Prime theater. The seats are big recliners and the sound system is awesome. My seat did shake with the movie explosions. It was $20 for the ticket and snacks. I think it was totally worth the price.

Haven’t seen the new Midway yet, but looking forward to it.

Agreed regarding the classics. I recall watching those epic films on a 13” black & white TV with rabbit ears when I was a kid. Those viewing experiences were no less intense than what’s produced today.
