Today's state of the art criteria for motion picture sound reproduction may fall far short of meeting the demands of motion picture audiences in five to ten year's time.

The authors propose a quantum improvement in film sound playback systems as a necessary ingredient to gain significant improvements in sound quality in the motion picture theater.
