So when a cinema is half-assing a movie it’s not usually the fault of 4DX programming. Running CostsĪ cost issue is also factored into the equation as the maintenance costs, effects, scents to purchase etc they all add up. That’s annoying!īut once again that’s a maintenance issue that the cinema should be taking care of and is of no fault of the 4DX tech itself. Somethings you enter a cinema with a loud fan and when the wind effects occur it completely drowns out the dialogue on screen. You need to pray for a good gush of fan air to drive the fog your way and every time I’ve been to a screening the fog machines are hardly ever working! The fog and bubble effects are quite poor as they only occur right at the front of the cinema. It’s only during intense 4DX sequences of motion does the technology become distracting.
*Action flicks (if you can handle it) 4DX is not so good for: It really does depend on what movies you watch. Karen Woodham at Blazing Minds review of Birds of Preyin 4DX seems much more colourful than my own experience.ĤDX during horror movies is perfect for amping up the scares as puffs of wind hit the back of your neck during scary sequences. A complete waste of money for a 4DX experience!īut this could have been down to the cinema saving a few pennies and not giving us a proper show rather than a 4DX programming mistake. Then such movies as Birds Of Prey had next to zero effects throughout. Other 4DX movies such as Hobbs and Shaw were horrific 4DX experiences.īeing constantly prodded jolted so much that I was detached from the film on the screen. The cinema had snow falling from the sky, it was icy cool in there and the fans were blowing wind around my hair. Frozen 2 was one of the best 4DX experiences I’ve ever experienced. It was truly magical.ĤDX comes into its own when watching animations. Watching Lion King on the big screen and whole cinema smelled of a meadow as your seat lulled through the cameras slow panning. Whilst you know you’re sitting in a seat watching a movie, 4DX makes that seat all the more interesting. Car chase sequences where your seat will mimic every corner taken or fight sequences where certain hard-hitting punches will give you a little prod in the back. You will feel every inch of the motion that is happening on screen. Using motion seats combined with scents and elemental effects such as rain, wind, snow and fog 4DX creates one hell of a cinematic experience!
Let’s take a closer look at each technology before we deliver our verdict of this cinema immersion contest. Screen-X has tried to get into the mix but it just doesn’t quite have the immersion of the two technologies in question today. 4DX Or IMAX? Let The Battle CommenceĪs companies constantly attempt to make the next immersive cinema experience there only seems to be these two in contention. Which one is better, 4DX or IMAX? We chime in on the old debateĪ discussion that has spanned many years now since the introduction of more immersive cinema experiences.
