Author Topic: Penguins of Madagascar (2014) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 12-02-2014 09:52 PM                        CINEMA: Megaplex at Valley Fair, West Valley City, UT AUDITORIUM: 1 PRESENTATION Dolby ATMOS PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Movie paused and went to black about halfway through (fixed in about five minutes, re-started about ten seconds before blackout point), periodic noise coming from ceiling array that sounded like a Geiger counter RATING: Three stars (out of four) THE PLOT: Cute n' Cuddly gets ugly. Wackiness ensues. The penguins were the only reason to see the Madagascar movies. But are our flightless friends clever, witty, and funny enough to carry a whole movie themselves? Yes. Yes they are. And they managed to introduce a secondary cast that is sure to get a spin-off of their own someday. Not sure why this has an ATMOS soundtrack. Not once did any of the sound give me reason to remember I was even in an ATMOS auditorium.  |  IP: Logged Terry Lynn-Stevens Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1081 From: Toronto, Ontario, Canada Registered: Dec 2012 posted 12-05-2014 12:53 PM                     quote: Sam Graham Not sure why this has an ATMOS soundtrack.
