Our local Carmike theater just got a huge city donation for a bowling alley and new movie theater to replace the *very old* one we have.
The mayor decided to raise sales tax a tiny bit, but that we've been wanting an update for a long time and voted to accept the sales tax raise (it'd affect point of sale at stores like walmart in the immediate area)
With that money we got a new stadium-seating theater, WITH 4k DIGITAL PROJECTORS! And I can definately notice the difference. You can sit up closer without the movie going blurry. And it looks calibrated or something because i've never seen projector black levels look so deep.
But alas, some of my friends dont even notice a difference... and I think they're crazy... but these are the same people who don't have HD service on their HDTV and are fine with it.
