THX, truth or myth

Truth. Not to exaggerate, but things are as they are. A THX certified cinema achieves some minimums that to more than one would agree that should be essential in any cinema. From light and noise presence, to sound systems and projectors. The THX is a way to standardize the conditions in which the audience is going to watch the films, so the experience would not vary that much from one cinema to another. THX films are made thinking on these "optimum" conditions so our film experience will be more like to what the director was thinking.

Myth. A cinema without THX doesn't mean bad. THX is a certification that they have to pay to obtain it and many cinemas are not to this. So, a cinema can surpass the standards of THX and don't have certification. We shouldn't exaggerate the excellencies of THX, but the advantages are undoubted. Ask Quicksilver and his Yamaha THX 7.1
