If you’re worried about motion sickness, my wife often gets motion sick on certain theme park simulators, but she had no issues with 4DX. Also, the seats themselves aren’t very soft, so they could become uncomfortable during long movies. I also hope the programmers ease up on the effects in the future and save them for the most appropriate times. ![]() Yes, my family all agreed we’d see another movie in 4DX, but it’d have to be the right movie. But for the scenes where it was appropriate – like the gunshots, being shaken around when characters on screen were being thrown around, and feeling the splatter of liquids – it was awesome. I didn’t need to feel a blast of wind every time a character walked out into a windy area. I didn’t need to feel a bump every time a new opening title appeared on screen. I didn’t see the need to be swayed back and forth as the camera moved around. Many of the effects just seemed to be added to take advantage of the fact that they can add them. So what did I think of the experience? I loved it, but not all of it. I didn’t notice any bubbles or scents during Kong, but it may be because they didn’t fit with the movie or I just didn’t notice them. Fans are positioned all along the sides of the theater there are nozzles in the back of the seats in front of you fog machines are in front of the screen and air blasts shoot past your head from your headrest (That was my favorite effect – you hear and feel the “bullets” shoot past your head). The effects come from different areas of the theater. During Kong, we were rained on, vomited on and had blood splatter us. Think of it more as a less or more water button. There’s a button on each seat that is supposed to turn off the water effects but it didn’t work for us. We had a drink, popcorn and candy and had no troubles. Eat your popcorn down into the bag quickly just in case there’s a “jerky” scene early in your movie. But be sure to keep a lid on your drink as the armrests move with you when you’re shaken around. The seats sit up higher than normal seats and with your feet on the pedestal, you’re fully in the seats. Notice the foot pedestals with the blue lights. The theater looks like any other at first glance. We loved the movie and feel it’s the perfect choice to show off the new theaters. My family and I went to see “Kong: Skull Island”, the first movie to be featured at Pointe Orlando’s new 4DX theater. It’s a full “theme park” attraction ride. Plus the theater has water spray, wind, bubbles and scents. 4DX theaters feature seats that move, tickle your legs, vibrate and poke you. If you’ve seen the Shrek attraction at Universal Studios, then you know what the experience is like. I’m talking about the new 4DX theater at the Regal Pointe Orlando movie theater. I’m not talking about the latest Universal theme park rides. "Fans want a different experience, and I think that's what we're providing them is a new movie experience that is unlike anything they've seen before.Imagine being actually thrown around when King Kong strikes down a helicopter, or your seat shifting left and right as a Fast & Furious car speeds down a highway. "I think for us it's a great new revenue source, but more importantly it's a great new guest experience," said Nick Baker, who helped bring 4D to Los Angeles. Regal Cinemas in Los Angeles opened with a two-week showing of the latest "Transformers" and raked in $105,000, more than twice as much as traditional theaters earned from the film during that same period. ![]() Tickets aren't cheap it can cost a family of four nearly $100 for a 4D movie night.īut, so far, that isn't scaring moviegoers away from this theater. theater in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. And, now, 4DX has partnered with its first U.S. "We ultimately don't want to take away from the storytelling we want to be able to immerse the audience into the movie," she said.ĤD films are already popular in Asian countries like Korea, Japan and China. ![]()
