Watching Mobile Suit Gundam III in a Dolby Cinema Theater

In February 2020, I watched the animated movie Mobile Suit Gundam III: Encounters in Space in the Dolby Cinema theater of Marunouchi Piccadilly, a multiplex in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. That was the first time in 38 years I watched the movie at a theater and the first time I did a movie at a Dolby Cinema theater.

The movie was released in 1982, so the picture's quality was definitely old in spite of Dolby Cinema. All the same, it gave me a huge nostalgia and was still enjoyable enough. Although I had watched and enjoyed it sometimes on TV screens since the release, yet it was exceptional fun on the big screen. Moreover, I was pleased that I still had the heart of a boy because I could fully enjoy it, unlike Galaxy Express and Harmagedon that I watched last summer and two years ago respectively. I will watch the film again somewhere in the future. It might be one of my best movies forever.

As for the sound in the Dolby Cinema theater, I did not feel the differences so much between the theater and ordinary ones, so I felt that an extra charge of 600 yen for Dolby Cinema was kind of high for a poor man like me. It was at least good that I realized that I am not the kind of person who sticks to sound quality, though.
