From Super Technirama 70 to Ultra Panavision to Dimension 150 and more, the 70mm large-screen format promised - and delivered - a Barnum-esque world of spectacular sights and 6-track sounds. If the movies were always larger-than-life, then 70mm movies were MUCH much larger! From 1955 to 1970 - the Golden Age of 70mm Filmmaking - there were nearly 60 Hollywood features shot in large format, with many more released in special engagements as 35mm-to-70mm blow-ups (which still offered superior sound and image quality to their 35mm counterparts).
Cinerama is one of the few theaters in the United States able to screen the rare 70mm format. So take the opportunity to experience "Tron" as it was meant to be seen: on a big, beautiful screen, with booming six-track multi-channel sound.
