Earthquake 1974 Trailer IN SENSURROUND -Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, George Kennedy, and more

[@prompterbob]

I saw it in 1974 in the theatre and the Sensuround was very, very effective. Never experienced anything like it since. Even IMAX doesn’t come close.

The rumble was breathtaking saw EARTHQUAKE at crest theater so Victorian interior just beautiful on of a kind

I remember watching Earthquake at the Bethany theater in Phoenix, AZ. The sound system damaged the building. It was a precursor to Dolby Surround System.

So you could say the building sustained damage just by watching an earthquake movie? 🤨😂

Thank you for posting this. I saw Earthquake in Sensurround with my dad and brother at the Hayden West Theatre in Phoenix, 1975. I remember the huge speakers in back of the building and the seats shaking. I believe my dad was a bit taken by the experience. I wish they would bring this back. You would think with today's technology, they could replicate the sound. Unfortunately not too many single screen theatres around that would be available to show this. It's been done in Germany at the Schauberg Theatre

I like watching the flim Earthquake (1974) Sensurround Version was included on 📀 and Blu-Ray

I remember seeing this as a kid, the IN SENSURROUND was a huge deal, everyone was talking about it. It was supposed to be the future of movies, but apparently it was very expensive to install and dial in the equipment, plus you had to remove seats from the theater to fit all the equipment. So it wasn't very cost effective and so it's a cool footnote.

Alright, now that's a really rare Sensurround warning at 0:17

Music composed and conducted by John Williams

The voice-over (from 20 seconds) sounds like it's Dick Tufeld who voiced the robot in Lost in Space. It's gotta be him. LOL

Saw this in Brooklyn ny kings plaza movies multiplex. Lines to get in. Thought the seats would move but just a gimmick highhh bass speakers in theatre. It was good for its time

[@lorddalek]

"You cannot experience Sensurround on TV!" ...because nobody saw home theaters becoming a thing in 1975!

I wonder if actress Geneviève Bujold was French or French American. Her name stuck out like a sore thumb within an all star cast with a bunch of English names or English sounding names. It would have been something if she had spoken French with English subtitles. Anyway, my now deceased parents took me to view Earthquake in late 1974. We even had the album about the soundtrack of this movie & visited Universal studios 1 more time during 1977 summer vacation. Little did I realize that Universal studios was operating on another huge blockbuster, JAWS in 1974 to be released by summer 1975.
